Food Porn Rides

That looks delicious.

Yesterday I asked a couple of friends to meet me by a lake for tri-tip lunch. Those colorful teriyaki peppers were amazing. Can't see the squash but it is there, maybe in the middle, yellow. Mesquite smoke! We thinly sliced it across the grain on the toast and added horseradish along with the grilled red onions letting the sourdough toast absorb the juices.

This is a biscuits and gravy burrito.

Here is the best cheesesteak sandwich I’ve ever had. The chips are homemade.

Lunch on my last ride.

PedalUma is obviously loaded with cash with all the hip dinning places he stops at from selling his cool Ebikes.

Made this after my ride.

Pan fried chicken thighs.

loaded with cash

I am a penniless bike mechanic, who takes a mini-vacation each day instead of a big one once or twice per year. I guess it is about values, I value friends, independence, and good food. I got rid of my smart phone, do not own a TV, do not stream, and read new books each week. I am making a bike for a 71-year-old woman who will bikepack from Seattle through Colorado and on to Maine on mostly gravel roads. That is valuing independence. She could afford a private cruiseship with bodyguards and servants. The fried chicken looks so good! Here is a fried chicken salad. I got to eat at that place for free for a year.

do not own a TV

The most freeing thing I've ever done, cutting the cord with cable TV. I do stream free movies, today it was Titanic, no I had never seen it before. I have a Chromebook and smartphone, need those.

do not own a TV

That means you can't have a TV Dinner!

Ohhh, I ate my share of those foul things growing up, along with what seemed like endless boxes of Rice-a-Roni. The absolute reason I learned to cook.

What do you like to cook, Chunk? Let’s see your food porn.

I like to bake cookies and I make really good carnitas!

I am a recreational shellfisherman. I don't rake or prepare shellfish before or after a ride, so this post is a violation of the intent of this thread. Anyway, here is a shot of my version of Linguine con Vongole. I use spaghetti because I prefer it.

I do that often such as substitute penne instead of ziti or rigatoni... though those do have their place on my menu.
This particular dish.. I'd of opted for angle hair.

This brings back many fond memories of when I used to shellfish as a kid. I would ride my bike down Island Beach State Park in NJ. There are several hidden paths that lead from the park road to the bay on the western side of the island. If you know where to look, there are clam beds in shallow water near shore. I used to strip down to my bike shorts, stick a clam knife and a bottle of cocktail sauce in my pocket and dig Cherrystone clams with my bare feet. I'd shuck and eat them on the spot. Can't get any fresher than that!

cocktail sauce

I do cocktail sauce on fries and can't do mayo sauce on fish. This morning I will get BBQ with handmade tortillas by an authentic grandmother at a farmer's market. It is called What A Chicken. Good food can be very simple.
