That does look awesome. Something that goes over big here with all the colorful veggies.

I was too young to know every detail, but as I recall there was a sudden wind too. You think he would have known since was a very smart, as well as respected man, who was a chemical engineer for the Polaroid company. It was a large family then but eventually they had ten kids.

I've seen dozens of intelligent people spray it on flaming coals. Dumb.

So, the first pic is last nights dinner. Bone in pork chop, some grilled scallions, corn, and heirloom potatoes done in a foil pack with some garlic and butter on the grill.

Second pic is the first use of the new grill (Weber Performer) that is a gas lit charcoal. It's loaded up with Salmon, two strips, grilled scallions, corn, and yellow squash. Yum

Good lookin' meals. That's a mutha' of a pork chop you got there.
Never thought of grilling scallions. That's a new one to try.

when you grill the scallions, just roll them around in a little bit of olive oil, then lightly sprinkle on some kosher salt. Grilling them gives a nice, quick carmelization, and completely removes the sulfurous onion bite, leaving a very sweet onion flavor.

This is right before I took everything off. I flipped the salmon and let it get a little carmelization where it's skin was sitting. I find that the salmon skin naturally "oils" the grate to prevent the non skin side from sticking.

Anyone ever tell you that pork chop looks like an overcooked porterhouse?

Heh, no. It may look overcooked, but I like it right at medium, and it was money. I just make sure the coals are nice and hot. It was about that size though.

It was self-deprecating humor, no judgment intended on your chop. A week ago, I produced an overcooked porterhouse that the collective thought looked like a pork chop.

Except for someone who thought it was a flattened banana with grill marks, right? :p

I like the way his chop looks. I love those blackened spots on the outside. Love things like that even on chips.

Yes. :cuss:

Ok, I looked back and saw it. It wasn't THAT bad. I've eaten some pretty ugly shit that tasted fantastic.

You're right it wasn't that bad.

BLT and homemade clam chowder.

Wife wanted chili. So we are having a quick chili.

Steak and salmon on the same grill, at the same time, subject to the same heat?

Edit: Needed to read your other reply.. Rep for you...

I am going to make some poverty chicken curry tonight. I'll document it.

I GUARANTEE you will be ashamed.

Salmon with a garden salad.

gum--sugar free

Kurzweils outside of Harrsonville has the most awesome chops ever.

Tooges made me think of them...

What's the first thing you need for poverty chicken curry? Chicken, duh. LET'S BUST OUT SOME FINE, FINE CHICKEN THAT COST ME PRACTICALLY NOTHING, PEEPS!!!

http://i.imgur.com/4xiTfyFh.jpg

Delicious! The rat meat adds a nice texture to it, I find.

http://i.imgur.com/09NQiyuh.jpg

Let's defrost this in a disgusting microwave from 1983.

http://i.imgur.com/h48Sxmqh.jpg

Let's season our chicken with a tasty secret blend from Zarth's spice rack.

http://i.imgur.com/rYXooBnh.jpg

Our chicken is now a nice "nuke orange." Boba's looking hungry.

http://i.imgur.com/cQTkf5fh.jpg

Let's bake our chicken at 350 degrees for awhile. Just wing it brah. No timers up in this poverty kitchen.

http://i.imgur.com/kO2pcXeh.jpg

Let's get our rice ready while the chicken is cooking. You are MAD JELLY of my rice bag, admit it.

http://i.imgur.com/765nwd4h.jpg

The rice is boiling, so let's cover it and turn to our sauce.

http://i.imgur.com/6C30Xtmh.jpg

THIS IS OUR SAUCE. LOOK HOW GLORIOUS IT IS. You might be wondering, how did this sauce come to be?

http://i.imgur.com/eza3jQIh.jpg

WE POURED IT OUT OF THIS ****ING CAN, MAN!

http://i.imgur.com/G8u4pSFh.jpg

Let's take a break and pound a protein shake.

http://i.imgur.com/5fkwNcsh.jpg

Our chicken is done, and swimming in a pool of fat.

http://i.imgur.com/xafqZj7h.jpg

Let's dice it up and add to the sauce.

http://i.imgur.com/UhBwh1zh.jpg

Now add some greek yogurt.

http://i.imgur.com/QDaBPlIh.jpg

Yep. That's poverty curry alright.

http://i.imgur.com/InAmwS1h.jpg

The rice is done!

http://i.imgur.com/j4HpOuqh.jpg

Let's plate that mother with some pita and hummus, which will make for a nice healthy shit tomorrow. Watch out for the aliens.

http://i.imgur.com/Dg63a5Zh.jpg

Ok, besides the curry I see some kind of pita bread and some whipped WTF.

It's hummus.

Ah, makes sense.

Curry needs more curry.

Looks a bit discolored.

I do love Indian cuisine though. Freaking love it!

oh sorry here

http://i.imgur.com/BmPu7Jy.jpg

Still looks a little yellow in my opinion. But I'm sure tastes great.

I may have to hit up the Indian buffet tomorrow due to all this talk of Indian food.

LMAO

Lots of curries are yellow. What do you think happens when you take brown sauce and add yogurt?

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/LAVl1_e9KCU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

it's a facehugger

Not that shade of yellow.

It's true, there is a lot of yellow light in that pic. Did you use a combo of house lights and your phone flash or LED?

You're frozen chicken looks less than appetizing. That Jyoti can garbage has 23g of fat and 1650mg of sodium. No thanks.

To the misguided raider fan... use quality greens for your salad.

Yes, yes, and yes. Also, Clay, you might think of wiping down the inside of the microwave once a decade or so. Yuck.

To be fair, he did call it "poverty" chicken curry.

You can tell a single man from a married man by looking in the microwave. My wife would kick me in the balls if she ever opened the microwave and it looked like that. She is surprisingly cool about all the Star Wars figures and face huggers I leave around the kitchen though. :evil:

Mine would not. I constantly have to remind her to cover food when it goes in the microwave.

Yes, but chicken isn't that expensive and you can make a curry sauce using fresh ingredients (albeit not for the cost of that $3 can of goo, and assuming you already have the right spices).

No argument here. Just saying, he warned ya.

Interesting timing for this to show up in my inbox. I know it's been a bit, but here's a scientific explanation of buttermilk brining for fried chicken.

<iframe width="854" height="510" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C5M0BjR_Ae4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

O.M.G. Your meats all look so damn good! And that salad too! With some peas...nice touch.

LMAO

Delicious, my friend.

PS - fat doesn't make you fat

Wrong.

He right, though. You could make a better sauce without all the fat and an insane amount of sodium, with a little effort and some spices.

Dude. Look at your background - there's a LOT of yellow light in that pic.

Sounds like a pain in the ass. Maybe if I'm actually cooking with dinner someone. Which, I have actually done before.

But for a quick and easy meal, poverty chicken curry suits me just fine.

PS - SODIUM ROCKS

That's because I edited the picture in photoshop after he complained. LMAO

Ah, you're right. I see the original now.

The color looks better. It looks kinda like vomit on rice, but the color looks fine.

Yep I think I need me one of those hibachi grills.

There are some really good ideas and pictures in this thread. The exception is diarrhea on rice.

Vomit on rice, but same diff.

If you could do this on a Gordon Ramsay show, it could make for the greatest episode of a cooking show of all time. Especially if you debate him instead of dropping your head and leaving.

Dinny

It's really delicious man.

Anyone who likes curry would like my poverty version. LMAO

I'm gonna go heat some up for dinner!

PS, the thread is "what did you have for dinner," not "impress these kitchen elitists."

Your version?

Hai guyz, you ever heard of my super version of poverty spaghetti? I open a can of Spahgetti-Ohs, pout it into a bowl and microwave it. Try it some time!!

. . . psst, the secret weapon is Parmesan cheese sprinkled on at the end.

Hey man, I seasoned and baked that chicken myself, and don't forget the rice.

Took over an hour to slap together that poverty shit.

I'm having leftover chili. With goldfish crackers. No joke.

LMAO. I was trying to be nice. But I appreciate your candor and your description is spot on.

You mated up Indian food and RICE?!?!

Genius!!!


You figured out what a billion peasants who bathe in sewage and defecate in the street have known for generations.

Thanks
i work the graveyard shift so that was actually breakfast for me today...

I got a deal on those steaks, Sirloin, 2 to a pack, each pack cost 4-6 dollars... The salad was a 7 layer salad the wife made the night before.

You little schmuck, I complained about the color before you edited it. LMAO

I will say that your burgers looked good.

I'll throw you that bone.

I would equate it more to browning some hamburger, pouring a jar of Ragu on top, and serving over some boiled spaghetti.

You mean his second attempt at burgers, right?

Because the first one looked like a giant grilled meatball on an upside down grill grate. :D

Speaking of hamburgers... how do y'all like your sear? Part of the reason I usually do burgers in cast iron is because I really love a hard sear on a burger. I love a good solid crust.

Oh yeah!

I'm getting ready to grill some chicken thighs.

I'm having some brews in celebration of my little 4 day weekend.

Cheers!

I never thought about searing a hamburger. I usually BBQ my burgers when the temp is low. I'll have to try searing soon.

Ah, yeah I thought it reminded me of my sister's layered salad that had peas in it. I thought peas in salad? But it was good. The name of her's was Sarah Salad. It was a creamy salad.

You should throw some spaghetti sauce on it and some mozzarella and call it chicken parmesan.

If you've got a cast iron skillet, do it there. Season with salt and pepper, preheat the pan over medium high (make sure it's good and hot), and fry for 3-4 minutes per side for medium, depending on thickness.

FYP

ROFL ROFL

Don't feel bad. My former MIL, would just dump Campbell's Tomato Soup on
spaghetti, giving me a bad impression of the Mid-Westernah's culinary palette. I used to sneak out of her house when visiting, to find a restaurant. I would tell her I went for a walk. Can't have bad manners by being honest with the hostess.

I'll try it out.

I usually grill my burgers. I grill them similar to my steaks, which is very high heat close to the meat for a relatively short amount of time. I like my steaks and burgers medium. But if there's error, I prefer to err towards medium rare, in lieu of well done.

Poor Claynus is taking a beating. LMAO

If you do really thin burgers, crank the heat a bit and cook for less time.

Don't do this with $30 hamburger. I can't have that on my conscience. ;)
