Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

I'm horrified by all of the junk I've eaten so nonchalantly throughout my life. I've been pretty good at shunning all that delicious poison in the last 6-8 months.

I haven't forsaken all chips, I have to say. I'm more careful about ingredients. Learning how to read the label was big for me. I also eat in moderation now as well. No more 3 pound bags while I watch a game. (And then have to chisel "cheese" off my fingers for an hour)

i can send you a stupid easy recipe
the key is FRESH seafood.

In AZ this is the best I can do. Gonna make your etouffe recipe today in time for the Rose Bowl



This is why I love Asian markets, where else do you find this stuff?

My wife is trying to eat better too but she still thinks all of this talk about seed oil and chemicals is fearmongering. Anything with "Veggie" in it's name she buys. She bulk ordered these chips and the first thing I did was read the label



Big time seed oil.

She's a fan of this Bird's Eye veggie pasta too

Also avoid Maltodextrin at all costs.

I switched electrolyte drinks due to this. They dramatically understated how much was in their mix. LMNT in case anybody is wondering.

Smoked 4 dozen wings for a Rose Bowl party a neighbor threw and invited us too. Kept a dozen for myself and brought the rest over.

Pleased to say they were the first things wiped out from the table. I much prefer the taste/flavor of Smokey wings to fried wings anyway.

How much are the pastrami sandwiches at Carnegie Deli now? last time I was there they were 18 big ones.

Original Carnegie Deli near Carnegie Hall is closed...but only Dawand Jones could finish their pastrami sammich in the day

As far as NYC Carmines, I tell everyone.. assume every item will feed at least 2 people and be a full meal for both
I remember being there next to a couple who ordered 2 entrees and 2 appetizers... obviously first timers.. no room on the table with just the appetizers.. then the entrees came.. very entertaining...they were begging everyone to help..

Yeah my wife and I always split whatever we ordered. What about Grimaldi's there by the bridge, is that still there?

Grimaldi's near Brooklyn Bridge is still there
We used to do Grimaldi's in Hoboken when my daughter lived there
She wants to work in the city again and I'm scared shitless

I haven't been to the big Applebaum since 2009, it was nice back then, walked around like I owned the place. Too bad it's gone so far downhill.

Used to pop in once or twice a month. Was bestest city in USA. Subways were fine. I don’t want to be a Dan Penny

Keen's is the NYC option you're searching for. Skip right past the steaks and order either the mutton chop or the Flintstonesque slab of prime rib. Peter Luger is pikeyville next to Keen's.

Quality Meats is best in my opinion
