No, I like having everything the same on my desktop and phone. Seeing as I already own GOOG stock and have been using gmail since it came out google already knows everything about me including my net worth.

Why thank you, it is day old rice, veg medley from the frozen section, some chicken from friday, sambal oelek, and some "stir fry sauce" I had in the fridge (that shit keeps forever).

Breakfast (0530): müesli with milk.
Second breakfast (1000): egg with roti.
Lunch (1345): steak with red wine reduction, sides of mash, tomato-stewed bitter peppers and oven-roasted cauliflower drizzled with melted butter and dusted with chickpea flour and spices.
Tea (?): ?
Dinner (?): ?, but likely something quite lite as I'm likely to still be stuffed after such a large lunch.

[Anonymous No.4764478]

Probably nothing, drank way too much beer yesterday and had fast food for dinner. I might eat something really healthy later, today is a recovery day though.

I made chilaquiles with white corn and fried corn tortillas rather than chips. It was random, unplanned, and amazing. Pic wasn't what I cooked, but it's the gist.

[Anonymous No.4764511]

I haven't cooked anything, yet. But in a while, I going to be grinding meat for chili, making chile con queso (with real cheese, thanks), guacamole, and tacos al pastor. Today is texmex day, tommorrow is glorious burger day. Hopefully there will be chili leftover for that.

Not OP, but I think the Sicilian method best.
Boil 2 cups of water per cup of long grain rice.
Add rice to boiling water.
Boil 4-8 minutes, checking the grains every now and again for doneness; when grains are /almost/ but not quite done, strain the rice through a sieve.
Wash the rice under running water until cold and water runs clear, then allow to drip dry briefly.
>stop here if you intend to use the rice as part of another dish such as jollof, pilau/pilaf, biryani, jambalaya etc.
Heat the pot back up.
Add the still-wet (but not dripping) par-cooked rice back to the pot and cover with a lid; lower the heat to medium-low/low and cook, allowing the rice to steam to finish.
Lift the lid and allow the excess moisture to evaporate.
Eat rice.

preparing to cook a 2 inch thick rib steak. Topped with sauteed onion and mushrooms. The chianti is breathing, and the steakl is coming to room temp as we speak. Brussel sprouts on the side, and crab dip as an appetizer.

sorry, accidental quote of >>4764718. I just wanted the quick reply box. On another note, I am still choosing how to cook the steak-cast iron is a heavy favorite, with broiler as a distant second. taking suggestion though...

I have been looking on craigslist for the past 2 years for one and found one that I bought. Now I just need to find a place for it. Currently it is sitting in my parents garage because my apartment doesnt have the room for it.

Ever since i was little, my mom would always make rice in a way i've never seen anyone else make it.
>Whatever ratio of rice/water works for your rice
> add rice to a pan
>add enough oil *we always used vegi* to the rice to coat it all, but not enough to leave much on the pan.
>fry it until most of the rice has a slight brownish tinge.
>while doing this, boil 2 tomatoes, and a garlic with a predetermined amount of water for like 2/3 minutes. Cut half of an onion.
>add 2 boiled tomatoes and garlic with half of onion to blender. Add a chicken bullion cube to it. Blend until no more chunks and homogeneous.
>now once the rice is lightly browned, pour in the tomato sauce into the pan.
>not sure how long to leave it in there, just like a minute or two would be fine.
>now add the correct proportion of water.
>wait till the pan comes back to a boil- then turn heat down really low.
>top the pot and just check it in 10-15 minutes.

Sorry if i sound like an idiot typing this, English is my second language. This shit tastes delicious, and is great for any mexican food/ and especially thrown into some soup.

Tamalies and chilli, but not in the traditional way.

We buy a can of tamalies, and in a oven cassarole dish or some such we unwrap them and line them on the bottom. Then we pour a can of chilli and some chopped onions over them.

Then we make and pour a box of cornbread mix over the top to give it a bready top.

Cook for awhile, when it's done put some cheese on top.
