That looks delicious.
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.loaded with cash
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
I do that often such as substitute penne instead of ziti or rigatoni... though those do have their place on my menu.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.

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!I am a recreational shellfisherman.
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.cocktail sauce
See post #8 above. I bake a lot of bread, whole grain and sourdough mostly, and brew beer on occasion too.What do you like to cook, Chunk? Let’s see your food porn.
Yes i see in this postI have to keep my food simple, so when I eat out, it's just a dish of meat and veggies at a Chinese place or such. But here is a chicken noodle soup I eat a lot.
My body doesn't tolerate carbs and not much fat either. So this is my chicken noodle soup that's high in protein, very low carbs and fat, but lots of flavor. The amounts I use are for one serving, but it's easy to adjust things. I use 1/2 box of unsalted chicken stock and bring it to a boil with some of the chicken bouillon ( I like the Better Than Bouillon jarred stuff). this gives more chicken kick and adds the salt. I often put in the roasted veggie stock too. Right now, fresh basil and some seasonings like Fox Point seasoning from Penseys. Then, when it is boiling thin thin-sliced skinless chicken thighs, about 1/2 pound. Cook it for maybe two minutes till most of the pink is gone. This may be hard to find I use tofu noodles; they are low calorie and low carb only 20 calories. I rinse them and cook them for 2 minutes (check the seasoning as the noodles suck up the flavor)take it off the heat, and I like to stir in a egg or two.
Nice and simple, lots of flavor, and really fast. I also make it with veggies too. Beef works but I like the shaved beef that cooks really fast pork is fine too. There are also sea kelp noodles (my body loves these and I have more energy when I eat them), but in soup texas roadhouse complete menu, they are just there more like a filler. There are egg white noodles; they are firmer than the tofu noodles.
