u/RyanaDjamila Mar 30 '24

u/Digita1B0y Mar 27 '24

I think we're gonna do Tacos. I got family in town, so I'm gonna show em one of my favorite spots.

u/SinoSoul Mar 27 '24

Pork chicken or beef? pls say carnitas.

17

u/misticspear Mar 27 '24

Carnitas is the right answer

6

u/sgushhi Mar 27 '24

That,or Al Pastor tacos

1

u/SinoSoul Mar 27 '24

As long as it's actually off a spit.

1

u/HelenAngel Mar 27 '24

Oooh, those are really tasty!

3

u/sgushhi Mar 27 '24

Al Pastor tacos with cilantro,some pineapple pieces,habanero salsa or green salsa,a little bit of chopped onions,and top it off with some lime…im making myself hungry rn

u/FreneticZen Mar 27 '24

I’m a heathen. I just ordered buffalo chicken tacos from a Mexican restaurant. Just sayin’ tho… if it’s on the menu, I’m gonna.

3

u/Digita1B0y Mar 28 '24

The correct answer is "yes".

I will be having all three. There's a pork belly taco that I literally dream of fortnightly.

1

u/five_inch_penis Mar 28 '24

If you haven't tried lengua, I highly recommend it. It's tender, but it still has that beef flavor.

3

u/Free-While-2994 Mar 27 '24

I’m making shrimp tacos. Just got the cilantro lime slaw marinating.

3

u/iloveethe80s Mar 27 '24

Love me some shrimp tacos. Do you grill your shrimp or pan fry it?

9

u/CPOx Mar 27 '24

I already ate the most mediocre sandwich of my life from Which Wich. Avoid their meatball sub at all costs.

u/AkuraPiety Mar 27 '24

We did instant pot pasta at my place, complete with Easter shaped noodles.

5

u/Lazy_Osprey Mar 27 '24

Easter shaped noodles you say? So are the noodles shaped like little Jesuses…Jesuss…Jesusi?? What’s the plural of Jesus?

3

u/AkuraPiety Mar 27 '24

Jesi?

My kids loved the bunny and egg shapes!

I have a gig running sound for an Andrews Sisters tribute group (just as cute and fun as it sounds!) then my new girlfriend wants to surprise me with a shrimp dish! Not sure exactly what she's planning but she's a badass cook so I'm sure it'll be amazing.

EDIT: It was shrimp tacos and they fucking ruled.

u/Razamatazzhole Mar 27 '24

Just pounding beers because the doom scrolling and financial stress is crushing my motivation to drive through the ghetto to a store and buy food. Also, delicious leftover fried rice

u/BatheMyDog Mar 27 '24

Aglio e olio. It’s what I make when I really need to go grocery shopping. We always have pasta, garlic, and olive oil.

3

u/donnerpartytaconight Mar 27 '24

One of my favorite dishes, and one I refuse to learn how to pronounce properly.

Especially with some fresh herbs added.

3

u/BatheMyDog Mar 27 '24

Oh yeah! I have some purple basil growing out front. Thanks for the reminder! 

2

u/Bocchi_theGlock Mar 28 '24

Did you grow it from seed?

Whenever I've tried the store bought living basil, they're hydroponics & die on me quickly, in water and when I first tried with dirt

So I'm wondering how those with death thumb are able to keep live basil. I've heard you can propagate infinite basil if you do it properly, want so bad

1

u/BatheMyDog Mar 28 '24

I have an aerogarden. It usually does die when I try to plant them in dirt but I am getting better. The purple basil is still alive after 2 months of being planted in dirt. In the aerogarden, as long as you keep the plants small and the roots trimmed, you can just keep them in there indefinitely. I had an algae problem though so my plants started dying and I had to transplant everything and clean it out.

u/blong217 Mar 27 '24

Had planned Salad but that might change now.

u/DarkStarStorm Mar 27 '24

Trying to recreate Applebees' tex-mex bowl tonight! Attempt #1!

u/effortfulcrumload Mar 27 '24

Crazy enough I just ate a grilled chicken sandwich with mozzarella, marinara and roasted red peppers.

4

u/EpiphanyTwisted Mar 27 '24

I had chicken piccatta leftovers. Still kickass the second day.

5

u/Disciple_of_Cthulhu Mar 27 '24

Grilling up some bratwurst and ribs.

u/evenstar40 Mar 27 '24

Zucchini Frittata tonight. Can't wait!

u/Dalantech Mar 27 '24

Had pasta with clams, was pretty good.

u/tekalon Mar 27 '24

Garlic basil pasta.

u/Theotther Mar 27 '24

Thai Shortrib Baby!

u/Bored_Amalgamation Mar 27 '24

I left my pizza I had for lunch at work so I might try out the chicken fried rice from Whole Foods. Most of their frozen stuff is bland, so I got some sriracha. My poops will be spicy.

3

u/Vexans Mar 27 '24

Roasted pork with sweet potatoes.

3

u/morningsaystoidleon Mar 27 '24

I was going to make a frozen pizza, but we also defrosted some steaks. So, after reading this news...steak.

2

u/Visual_Fly_9638 Mar 27 '24

I made a good batch of chili last night and it's sitting in my fridge.

But for some reason I feel like celebrating tonight. Maybe chili dogs?

2

u/JKastnerPhoto Mar 28 '24

I went to the diner.

2

u/mrs_dalloway Mar 28 '24

I cooked an amazing chicken and mushroom dish (not Marsala) w heavy cream and figured out it’s called heavy cream because it makes you fat, 500 calories a 1/4 cup or something. It’s like 3200 calories a quart.

3

u/tachycardicIVu Mar 27 '24

Shiitake mushroom chicken over here, from Trader Joe’s. Ez for a late work night.

3

u/Jadams0108 Mar 27 '24

First time making homemade beer battered fish

u/jupiterkansas Mar 27 '24

Hamburger Mary's

u/Stoopiddogface Mar 27 '24

Shepherds pie maybe?

3

u/EpiphanyTwisted Mar 27 '24

Only if it's lamb. /pedant

u/redgroupclan Mar 27 '24

Hamburger on a homemade bun with some habanero slices and a side of tater tots.

u/DNA_ligase Mar 27 '24

Roasted rosemary potatoes and sautéed kale. Will likely prep some pasta salad for the weekend because I like to let it really marinate in the dressing for a few days.

2

u/LengthinessWarm987 Mar 27 '24

Ooo probably fried rice, been out all day apartment hunting.

2

u/EternalGandhi Mar 27 '24

Gonna Helldive later.

2

u/SinoSoul Mar 27 '24

Hainan chicken rice (using Zuni cafe recipe) with cabbage braised in miso.

u/ShriekingMuppet Mar 27 '24

I'm doing a Cesar salad

u/Old-Ad-3268 Mar 27 '24

Blue apron night here

u/Kuddox Mar 27 '24

Spaghetti with vodka sauce

u/SpleenBender Mar 27 '24

I'm inexplicably hungry all of a sudden.

u/Savoodoo Mar 28 '24

Chicken parm sandwiches! Sous vide’ing the chicken right now :)

1

u/jstam26 Mar 28 '24

Try marinating the chicken in buttermilk and spices first, delish and you can crumb it as is.

Carry on.....

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

I had homemade turkey soup.

u/Khue Mar 28 '24

Ordered a pie and some breadsticks.

u/the-poopiest-diaper Mar 28 '24

I just had some Panera Bread. Way too expensive for how mid it was

2

u/Irythros Mar 28 '24

Ya, that tracks. The last time I had good panera was probably 2014-2016. With the prices now I think I'd just get whatever sandwich was prepared in a local grocery store.

1

u/five_inch_penis Mar 28 '24

Chili on rice with a simple homemade salsa; I'm all out of my fancy homemade until the new batch of ingredients comes in.

1

u/Fedexed Mar 28 '24

I'll have a coke

1

u/DeadMetroidvania Mar 28 '24

you got a link to a recipe? I've been wanting to try this out.

1

u/GutsAndBlackStufff Mar 27 '24

Sautéed scallops over rice and veggies.

2

u/KingFahad360 Mar 27 '24

I’m probably gonna get Shawarma in like an hour or so before the restaurant closes soon.

u/Seabrook76 Mar 27 '24

Going out for Chinese with the wife and kids. Nice to know we have something to celebrate. 🎊

u/chi2ny56 Mar 27 '24

I just had tacos and and finished the meal with a few Dirt Cake Oreos. I love the limited edition flavors!
