What's for dinner? Here's mine... (Part 2)

[Fire Me Boy!]

What you got?

[Cannibal]

Greek salad with beef and lamb and a couple of chicken strips.

[BucEyedPea]

I thawed out my leftover gumbo and added chicken as the seafood was all gone—at least what was visible.

I needed another can of diced tomatoes which I added. So had to add more thyme, creole seasoning, bay leaf and Old Bay. I was worried about adding chicken to what was a seafood based gumbo but it tasted better the second time. Chicken was nice and tender.

Finally, I made my New Orlean's Beignets this afternoon. Had that after with some Cafe au Lait. They were lil' pillows of heaven. Puffed up just right. I garnished the plate with some raspberry jam swirls and added more powdered sugar. May get a pic of this if it gets sent back. I'll have to beg. Maybe the so, who took the shot, can send it to a friend with a smart phone.

Yeah I'm sorry but as a midwestern goon I just cant get into all of that delicious sounding stuff... TAKE YOUR FANCY PANTS BACK TO SICILY!

It's been forever.. Sheeesh! It's a meal I get "out" as nobody but me appreciates its awesomeness!

[lewdog]

I microwaved some corn to add into my fried rice mix.



I'm missing vital nutrients now with that 60 seconds of nuking.

Yeah, but your friends should have plenty of protein.

Lol

Fried rice!

Here's what I don't get: It's healthy and safe but people call it "nuking" their food. Really bad advertising positioning if ya' ask me.

They're peasants over there! And they have their own goons.

It's just because nuclear power and our understanding of the energy spectrum grew up together.

Microwaves are actually energy waves like visible light, or infrared heat. A magnetron produces wave of a length optimized to perturb water, giving it energy and thus heat.

It's true that the shorter waves become the more dangerous they are FOR US because the statistical ability to penetrate our body because it takes up less room. And that energy in concentration my excite our molecular structure improperly. But that's not a concern in cooking, even microwaving as the addition of energy to effect molecular change is the purpose of all cooking.

And none of that has anything to do [except in the sense that the laws of physics and electromagnetism is all related] with nuclear power.

I already know that. Do you know what "positioning" is in advertising?

Wiki doesn't cover it well.

Well, that's what I was commenting on in relation to using the word "nuking" one's food.

No one advertised "nuke your food."

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Bone in ribeye, twice baked potatoes, bacon wrapped asparagus. We're celebrating the Royals and Mariners shocking the shit out of me and giving me something to root for in baseball.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

balsamic marinated top round and grilled peaches with balsamic and blue cheese

[BucEyedPea]

People use the term "nuke" frequently. That's word of mouth, a form of advertising, intentional or not. I didn't say an ad agency, food company or manufacturer used the term in some ad or ad campaign. People often call it that.

One example below:
