Capitol Hill Blue Forums Misc. Topics Food, Drink and Cooking Wonder what the poor folks are eatin' tonight?

Tonight the po' folk at house are having hot dogs (Costco, Kirkland®) with Oro-wheat multi-grain bun and Chinese chicken salad (rotisserie chicken, romaine lettuce, red cabbage, grated carrots, cashews, mandarin orange slices, chopped green onion, crispy won-ton, tossed in a Asian-Ginger vinaigrette).

The salad was the negotiated trade-off for consuming a hot dog. (Bob eats really healthy).

Why Costco Kirkland®? It's the only hot dog I can find with no corn syrup and relative few preservatives.

I like fried foods, but I try to stay away from them. As numan pointed out, fried anything is not good for anyone's health. But every once in a while, I indulge. Especially when it is Chinese New Year and I make fried pork wontons(ancient family recipe)!

I am not a fan of fried ice cream, but I love fried pies!

Kielbasa, strip steak, corn and vegetables on the grill. Tsingtao beer and sun tea for beverage. Klondike bars for desert. Walk to the local carnival and have some fried dough and watch the fireworks.

For some reason this was on the menu somewhere* today



*the internet.

Fried Dollar, now only 1.99

And someone-probably southern will pay money to eat that!

I like your Chinese chicken salad-Mine is similar, but I use thin-sliced almonds and Napa cabbage instead of red. Do you make your own dressing?

No, I get it at Fresh 'N Easy (Tesco, UK). It's called: Asian-ginger dressing. I get the crispy wonton's at Fresh 'N Easy too.

I like red cabbage because of the color against the dark green outer romaine lettuces and bright orange carrots shavings. (I save the inner romaine leaves for Caesar salads).

I have some Makasa® Kyoto Bronze plate ware, that when the salad is mounded into the center of the plate, all of the colors combined makes the colorful salad really pop.

oops only catching up now,

yer standard bread recipie.

flour, yeast, salt, water.

add olice oil, crushed garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, and cracked black pepper (only a small touch as it can overpower everything else)

exact quantities are up to you. I love a lot of garlic.

looking back on that dinner, it would have been better to reduce the number of competing flavours. Tomorrow i will be trying the bread with just the cracked black pepper. (and a far longer second prooving)

Oh. Schlack, that reminds me, have you ever tossed a half cup or so of dehydrated onion into the dough? Not onion powder, the chopped onion flakes. It makes a really nice bread.
Chopped walnuts is another one.
