ebk Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Leftover roast beef hash (with potatoes and onions) - yummmmm And a lovely merlot. Walter, it's Decoy Merlot, the secondary label from Duckhorn. $20 instead of $60 and just as good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would do it for me, cp! Avocado, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, sea salt. I like mine a bit chunky. I may have to make this today!

Maybe make a steaming bowl of Chilli to go with it. It would be a tonic for this brutal cold weather outside.

Heavy on the avocados and light on the tomatoes and onion. I use about six Hass avocados and only one small tomato, chopped onto a paper towel first so that your dip is not full of tomato juice. Toss the avocado pit in the dip to preserve the color, or just eat it up quickly like we do, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yes I may try that.

Our avacado tree in the front yard, which was raised as a seed by Walter Jr and his grandmother, finally bore some fruit last week. Mrs Walter made them into some awesome Guacamole last night - which we had with some tortilla chips along with cranberry and vodka cocktails. Too good. CP we have a place nearby called Raco's Tacos and Tequilla Bar, where they make it right in front of you. If you were ever to come here it'd be a place to take you and then if you still don't like guacamole, you probably never will. Fun place - especially late at night when some naked dancing on top of the bar has been known to take place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think CP's problem isn't that he doesn't like guacamole...it is that he does not like the taste of unadorned avocado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on buddy. It's the texture also. I mean I love food as you know. I love the taste of, say Mangoes or Strawberries. Curries, lamb and beef. But Avo's!! Texture like putty, taste of fuck all !

Even the mere thought of that Mexican fire water makes me nauseous. Whisky comes in a close second on the ghastlyometer. I'll take the naked dancing on the bar - but best us two go eh?

Strider Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Anyone ever hear of Ike's Place or Ike's Love & Sandwiches? I'm having one of their Madison Bumgarner sandwiches right now and it's super delish. Sliced rib-eye steak, yellow bbq sauce, habanero peppers, American and pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, on Ike's Dutch Crunch bread.

I once pierced my ear, with my mothers pearl earring, while wasted on Tequilla. Just shoved it right through my lobe until I felt it pop out the backside. Of course it was too close to my face and I was sick for two days after - at which time I pulled it out and got it properly pierced....

On Live Aid night in 1985. I already had an earring in and I thought it would be cool to have another. Beer and smoke - not a good mix ?

chillumpuffer Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Dinner this evening: Flamenco Eggs. This heart warming little ditty is a Spanish classic. Onions Garlic, Serrano Ham, Tomatoes, Chorizo, Hot Smoked Paprika,Roasted Red Peppers, Fine Beans,Peas all in a pan and cook on the hob , break a couple of eggs in and finish in the oven so the warm egg yolks meld into the mix, Serve with a couple of slices of garlic infused Rye bread -griddled. Heaven I will be washing it down with a Reserva Rioja or I may open a bottle of Red "Dao" from Portugal. Mrs CP will stick to white unless she tastes the red and guzzles that Edited January 20, 2017 by chillumpuffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Been a while since I last photographed some food! Sometimes, simplicity is just what the doctor ordered. Moong Dal Namkeen + Peanuts = yummy! I highly recommend this snack combination, especially during happy hour! I love the yellow shade of Moong Dal and the gentleness on the palate. Pretty and mild! Just the way I like it! I asked my co-workers yesterday, what their favourite namkeens were. It turns out that the least popular choice was Moong Dal namkeen, driven by the lack of spices (a lack of spices is perceived as a lack of flavour - I too like spices, but I couldn't disagree more. At times, it is better to keep things simple and pleasant). I am the only one in my office, who loves Halidram's Moon Dal Namkeen!
