Mother of God

Torta from the taco truck. Really ****ing good for 4.50 lol Yeah, half eaten.

I actually prefer brown gravy on country fried steak, but the wife prefers white... so white it was.

There for a minute I thought you were criticizing, and I was pretty proud of that plating! ROFL

I take it that's good?

yessssss

****. yes... the Mexican food there in SoCal is so cheap yet so delicious, you can truly eat like a king out there for next to nothing, that looks awesome.

Oh no, that looks entirely too tasty to criticize, nice work.

Tonight, no pics - I hadn't eaten today and was hungry. I did pan roasted thick-cut pork chops with a quick applesauce with ginger, corn on the cob (frozen, nothing special), and an improvised Asian glaze.

I was pretty proud of the glaze, was looking for something that would pair well with both the pork and the applesauce. For a sauce straight out of my head, it was damn good (sauces are not my strong suit).

(These are approximations)

1/2 c. rice vinegar
1/2 c. orange juice
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of finely grated lemongrass (or ginger)

Mixed it all together, de-glazed the roasting pan with it and reduced to syrup over medium heat.

I live in Nor/Central cali, but when it comes to the food, its all over cali. lol Yes, its really really ****ing good. lettuce tomatoes, thinly sliced steak alot of it, avacado, and bread toasted with mayo, not to forget the jalepeno's.

Yeah, that street food is an awesome bang for the buck... beats the snot out of ANYTHING McD's or Taco Smell etc can offer for the same money.

Tonight, in honor of the cold temperatures we're having here, it was homemade turkey soup. I got raves for it, and I was pretty happy with how it came out, myself. I sort of split the difference between eastern and western styles, going with ginger and chili peppers, garlic, tarragon, mirepoix, a little parsley, etc...

Oh, yeah, it was noodles, not rice, this time around.

My homemade Fun House pizza clone.

Planning my take on Tom Kha Gai tomorrow...

Tonight was a Papa Murphys sausage pizza, get a large for $5 on fridays and I had it tonight... tell ya what, these guys are really growing on me, its my firm opinion that this is by far the best crust of any pizza chain.

Not too thin, which I'm getting sick of, you gotta eat an entire large of those to get full... and not too thick, like eating a loaf of warm bread with a few toppings on it, its just right, perfectly crispy yet toothy.

I could never get sick of Racanelli's, which is thin, but NY thin, not IMO's cracker thin.

That crust is like an artisan's creation. Chew, crispness, char, whatever the flour version of Maillard is, I'm halfway to braving the cold for a slice now.
