23:00 pm Cooking Thread
 

I can't find a thread for people who are making something to eat at 23:00 pm, so I had to start one. At the moment I am thinking of making something with some spinach and pita bread I have in the freezer because I hardly ate all day. If you are cooking something a this time of the day, please share your recipes.

it's only 4pm here but i'll suggest cheese so you can sleep under its influence

i'd make a 6-egg omelette with spinach and cheese and eat it in the pita. larded up with fresh butter. oh hell yess spinach and butter. don't overcook the spinach!

it's true that eating late wakes you up. BUT (butt) hm a small handful of almonds calms hunger and helps teh zzzzzzzzzzzzz i think

1. put a couple of slices of bread in the toaster (or under grill)
2. wait for it to brown
3. spread the toasted slices of bread with thin layer of butter
4. repeat step 3 but this time use marmite.

no.

marmite is yummy

FTW

I went for the Spanish omelette option because I just happened to have eggs in the fridge and a plethora of vegs in the kitchen. Yummy.

I treat Marmite and Vegemite as twin sisters with a different taste in men and as women who do not like to be unmarried. Marmite on toast is alright but too bland and the bread it normally sits on is insulting to the bread race.

well if you're feeling adventurous you can always add honey to the marmite on toast...

oh! tortilla! HELL YEAH.

i make it w/ sweet potatoes instead of the regular "patata" as they call it.

dammit, im hungry now. it's only 530 but it's already dark outside. fuck the fucking winter.

stu: butter/marmite/honey? that sounds nuts. prolly worth a try. butter + marmite = goodness. butter + honey = awesomeness. but all 3 mixed? are you sure??

me, gonna make some brussels sprouts with butter and blue cheese later tonight. not sure what else because i had massive amounts of turkey for lunch and i probably don't need more protein. so it's that and some pomegranate which i still ahve left. those things have been in season for a while now. thank you, california, you endless fucking basket of delights.

if you would wait an hour, you could feast on blood.

It's too early for witchery here, so we're having stir-fried pork and veggies with a pineapple-chili sauce.

Don't listen to Q*bert, he'll make you fat.

PS..

never forget the Taps yo!



In LA, at 11:30 these should already be easily found in any fridge ;)

Almost one hour to go and those red bell peppers in the fridge are crying to be cut into pieces, there is growing unrest inside the bag of potato croquettes and that bottle of vinegar is developing a poisonous attitude.

Do people actually like WHITE corn tortillas??

in b4 racist

Gringos don't often do corn, so white-a-tising them makes them more appealing.

me? I haven't met a tortilla I haven't liked.

Of note: it will be extremely difficult for me to get masa in Oz. :(

in mexico, traditionally, yellow corn is reserved for burros, pollos, and exports for the chips that gringos eat. pinches animales!

hominy is not hard to make. all you need is white corn (WHITE POWER) and some firewood ashes. i'm sure they have their own version somewhere (WHITE POWER).

My grandmother used to only ever use white corn, fried in about 3" of Crisco.

I can get masa, but it's fucking $10 AUD and makes about 5 tortillas....

They just don't do maize there, and I don't believe my wife ever had hominy prior to living in the states.

masa is ground hominy. hominy is white corn soaked in lye, which is firewood ash. corn is a grass that will grow like weeds in warm weather and alkaline soils.

if you're going to be lost in the outback all this can easily be sorted out.

kangaroo tacos.

My grandmother had a tortilleria right next door....


1kg fresh tortillas for every meal.

The things I would do right now for some of those tortillas...

you best get ink some damn pozole damn you!

ps - was talking out of my ass re "alkaline soils" so check actual facts if you ever wanna grow it.



oh, damn... damn...

I would like to make love to your grandmother's taco.


$*$!!@!? & José Olé, I reckon I'll be asking for more of you wisdom before this time next year.

If I have enough water, I do aim to grow my own, o, Children of the Corn.

this is a corn grinder:



currently $27 at sears

....I can't buy 'stuff' for awhile because the cost to ship is too prohibitive.

There's an awesome food market in Prahran (Melb, Vic,) that I can't wait to revisit. It'll be fantastic knowing that I can keep stuff I buy...

I also want a tangine.

haha! I'm glad that I hijacked this thread and turned into a tortilla thread! fuck yeah!

Who the hell are you? I was speaking to my brown brothers.

Gringos don't know tortillas, whitey!

'tis the sweetest...

Bytor,

One of my people used to drive from his job with Kelsey Seabold clinic, to the Garden Ridge pottery on I-10 west, just because they had $1.50 Frito Pies for lunch.

we told him he was crazy, but he loved the shits!

Have you guys ever gotten what I call the Mexican Judgement Face? That is when you are at a Mexican restaurant or Taqueria and choose flour tortillas over the corn ones, and the waitress gives you a "silly gringo" look of shame.

(I am Latino to the bone, but look so goddamn cracka-ass that other Hispanics think I am whitey)

That's not a Mexican Judgement Face.

Order Bún bò Huê with "NO blood clots" at any Vietnamese restaurant and see.

ps: why's it gotta be Mexican? they don't eat tacos down in Wat-a-mall-a?

I rarely use tortilla bread but I am a big fan of paratha bread, which is kind of similar.

Which look, this one?




Dude, at the taco places I roll to they don't even HAVE flour tortillas. Also, the sure way to get the gringo spit in your tacos special is to insult the Mexican palate and order your food "special" by removing any of the sacred ingredients. It is an insult to a Mexican chef NOT to eat the food the way THEY prepare it, and reflects that gringo arrogance. You've been warned if yo ass is scurred of Cilantro ;)\


By the way, Genteel Death, that look is going indian stone-faced in your direction..




In one fail swoop you have insulted both the sanctity of the Taco and the innocense of the burrito



Besides of which..
Salvordan and Guatemalan tacos are different, they are usually al vapor style, and saltier meats..
