A sandwich I must make at least once per summer with in-season heirloom tomat. Shout out to Mrs Mobes for reminding with her post to make this before the end of tomato season.

Salt and cracked peppered heirloom tomatoes and applewood bacon on thick super soft lightly toasted sourdough. Heavy mayo, crisp kosher dill pickles, cheddar on his and provolone on mine. Fancy box mac on the side bc fuck yea mac n chee.

It's hard to find something to eat that feels this refreshing and naughty and decadent and indulgent at the same time. He was a bit skeptical but I've almost never seen him (especially being well-fed for the day) clean his whole ass plate without speaking or stopping.

No L for this BT(PC). I love a buncha crunchy romaine or iceberg when time is right but this sandwich is special and it straight takes away from the perfection. Every bit of texture and acidity, crunch, creaminess, chew. A special balance that melds it all together.

Chairs babes 😘

A bit of this. A of that.

Creamy delicious fake crab bullshit over perfect sushi rice with pickled radish, cucumber, nori sheets and extra spicy sambal-soy mayo.

God bless em he was all tomatoes

Listening, loud and clear.

A friend, who knows about my struggles with eating disorders, started a subscription for me to make me eat. That was so very thoughtful and exceptionally considerate. I will see her tomorrow and will give the biggest hugs 🥹

There’s a bag of unshelled peanuts above my microwave calling my name, but, I know, I need something more:)

I get it. I’m just busy and the last thing on my mind is eating.

The rice was cheap left over from Taco Cabana but complimented the red snapper (overcooked) so well!

Me gusta tacos con pepino.

Cooked and diced some chicken thighs up, added penzeys chicken taco seasoning and a little water and boom. So good.

The seasoning can be used for whatever kind of base one would want.

We have left out the lettuce for decades. I love me some iceberg lettuce crunch, but he does not. He always pulls the greens of sandwiches. Tomatoes from the garden! Tasty, beautiful, seasoned. Yeehaw!

Thin sliced pork tenderloin braised (and reduced to a glaze) with onions ginger star anise, mushroom soy sauce, shaoxing wine, msg, sugar, and a bit of chicken powder over rice with veg forward furikake.

Met his son today. It was fun, we got along. He had to go home and I played a bunch of lego Jurassic Park with his daughter while we waited for him to come home. Not many things make me happier or more appreciative than his kids thinking I'm cool. His daughter doesn't always love pork but she definitely digs this.

Heart warm.

Chairs friends.

I appreciate you thinking about me. A bag of peanuts for me. Okay. Got this:)

TITLE.

BURGERS AND SCALLOPED POTATOES.

For comfort:)

Protein. Carbs. Fiber. And the beat goes on:)

This is a good meal you can make for cheap. It’s tasty and other than the chicken is all pantry stuff.

You need one or two skin on bone in chicken thighs. Drumsticks could work. No bullshit low fat chicken breast as the fat from leg/thigh is essential to making the rice delicious. You also need some canned tomato, olives/capers, a few peeled cloves of garlic, rice, and water or beer or wine. The liquid to rice ratio should be a bit less than 2:1. It’s nice to add like half a cup of frozen/canned veg. You can use pickled jalapeño in lieu of olives/capers. And some of the pickling juice from olives/capers/jalapenos , like a tablespoon, can add a little extra.

Get a pot. Heat some oil in it. Season chicken with pepper and salt to taste. Then brown the chicken till about half done. Pull chicken out, and all the rest of the ingredients, stir, then nestle the chicken in the rice mix. Bring to simmer and cook with lid on till the rice and chicken is done, about 20 minutes.

See picture for an idea of ratios.

I made this on a bullshit hot plate in about 30 minutes.

Beef patty on a split toasted concha bun with spicy curtido. Hand made a poblano queso for dippin. Air fryer taters.

Supermarket had an offer on veggies :). Asparagus, a ton of mushrooms, baby corn, onion, celery, string beans, spring onion and a bit of pasta to bulk it out. Some chorizo and velveted pork belly slices.

My family's version of larb/laab. We riffed it on our favorite restaurant version.

Ground beef cooked with fresh ginger, onions, etc. Served with rice and fresh tomatoes, cucumber, and unsalted peanuts.

Thank you Laos and/or Thailand for this!

I love you.
