how’d you like a juicy pork cutlet fried in seasoned breading with fresh arugula and lemon juice? yeah me, too. i’d like it a lot. that with some of my signature bacon & potatoes au gratin. yummm.
Top 5 Foods on My Mind Right Now (besides pork cutlets and potatoes au gratin)
- chili cheese fries
- chili dog
- Outback chicken wings (“spicy, biotch!”)
- spinach and artichoke dip
- Legal Seafood crab cakes
those crabcakes… i know Legal isn’t the best place but they are not stingy with the lump crabmeat. giant chunks of sweet crabmeat….
i have an idea that the fries in chili cheese fries should be fried twice in order to get the maximum crispiness necessary to fight off the inevitable sogginess that happens when you dump chili on them.
Homemade Mac N Cheese (from scratch, biotch!)
- boil water and cook the pasta. make sure you use pasta with lots of surface area like twisted shapes. elbows work well. rotinis, too.
- heat up some milk in the microwave oven so that it’s a little warmer than warm
- in a separate pot, over low heat melt a good chunk of butter and drop in an equal amount of flour. (maybe a little less flour). mix it up and cook the mixture (roux) for a short while over low heat. don’t let it get brown.
- add the hot milk a little bit at a time while stirring. add enough milk to make the mixture a liquid. still over low heat. this is called a “bechamel” now.
- add a tiny bit of nutmeg and some salt. i also like to add cayenne pepper and maybe a little tabasco. heat that for a few minutes while the bechamel thickens.
- add digusting amounts of cheese until you get the consistency you want.
- mix with the cooked pasta and you’re done, bitch!
you can add shit to it like broccoli and (what else?) bacon to make it more yummy. if you like this, you’ll love…
The Next Level of Breakfast Cereal
- add dry cereal to your bowl. i like to use a mixture of a granola cereal and anything, just for consistency. mostly wheat cereals, none of that Apple Jacks stuff.
- pour milk in about 3/4 high.
- in a fry pan fry up about 8 slices of bacon…
heheh. just kidding. cereal is cereal, dumbass. just eat it the normal way.

damn…it’s only 9 in the morning. you’re that hungry already???
reading your site always makes me hungry. when are you gonna cook for me?
dang, i was JUST thinking, *stomachgrowling* ”boy i’m getting hungry” and i click on your page. now my stomach is doing flips….i want some fooood…..hmm….what to eat what to eat….club sandwich or lasagna?
that sounds good…(food)
you know, i think it’s actually pretty catchy–the way postal service remade it…with their own style and stuff, but i don’t know, maybe you might think it ain’t good, but i’m enjoying it.
there’s some other good songs on the soundtrack also..if u want to hear the remake of against all odds, there’s a video link i put up on either yesterday/day before’s blog with the music video of it.
most fries are fried twice anyways.
THAT WAS QUITE THE EMPHATIC ANSWER!! but now i’m confused, dunno if i want lasagna, jjolmyun, or hwe-dupbap….hahahaahahah.
hahahahaha, i knew it! i knew you wouldnt like it!
it’s all gravy~
odd, i’ve had an insatiable craving for both pork and crabcakes. and then you had to mention both. didn’t help the cause. thanks. by the way, what your thoughts on cereal and milk? meaning, are you a pour the milk before the cereal kinda person or pour the cereal and then the milk. (i like milk before cereal – i find my cereal bites tend to get less soggy)
hahahaha it wasn’t highest on the list of priorities….it was the first thing i thought of/been contemplating for a couple of days….the korean stuff i thought of today!! but alas i chose the lasagna bc the other places are a bit far and i have too much work to leave for that long….pick up or not….
maybe another day…
i sorta am. turned 25 recently so i JUST became jaded…give me a few more years (kidding…i don’t think i’m jaded at all, honestly).
i just had food tasting for lunch (a caterer we work for came in with shit load of food for us to try). jealous yet?
i just had chili cheese fries from Tommy’s the other night. hee hee. i love foooood
wait…did i say “work for” actually they are the caterers we hire whenever we have events.
anyway, i wish i can tell you what we ate. i’m not too sure actually. it had caviar, smoked salmon, etc. it’s all very chi-chi-foo-foo(is that how you spell it? *shrug*). i don’t care, it looked really good and it’s free so i ate it.
king crab legs.. mm. all i had was a cup of noodles for lunch.. damn u for crippling me with hunger!
Is there a Legal’s seafood down around NY?
i like my fries soggy when i eat chili cheese fries for mozzarella cheese fries w/ gravy.. yummmmmmay..
no measurements, biotch?!?!
oooh..heart attack! hahaha…
I will try your MacnCheese recipe. a bit of nutmeg, huh? hmm..
mac’n'cheese with prosciutto is my specialty! prosciutto is key! =)
