All you peeps with yummy food

48 weeks now of the same foods...

Eggs, chicken, broccoli, multivitamins, protein powders.

Yup that’s been pretty much what I’ve had for a year.

#hardcoreketo

Upside I’ve lost a ton of weight, nearing 100 lost

Once I hit my goal, I am having BBQ Ribs, sauced to all hell, corn bread, baked beans

Well I ain't cooking but she is. Omg I can't wait. Beans and corn. Homemade mashed taters, Mac n cheese. And for the main. Country style steak that's has been in the crock pot all day. She was cooking the steaks at 530 am. And it's possible there's a blackberry cobbler to go with this. My father's day gift. Mmm mmm

I always have a tough time deciding between the shrimp or chicken tenders. We sometimes get one of each and share. Love the Blackened Ranch dip, too.

I'd leave the bun, the fixings, and the accompanying goop, and just eat the shrimp AND the chicken tenders!

@Huckleberried @f1r3b1rd I remember the first time I ever went to a Popeye's (and this was before Bojangles, too). We were in the process of finding a place to live in Baton Rouge, relocating from Pensacola. I'd never had spicy fried chicken before, so I had no idea. That chicken lit me up like a Christmas tree!

Then later on, after we moved to Baton Rouge and I was working in the office of a welding shop near the river, the little errand guy who used to go out and pick up everybody's lunch, well, that joker surprised me. He came up and asked me if I wanted a chicken-and-fries basket for lunch. Apparently the guys bought chicken from this place all the time, and on certain days of the week they had a basket of a great big chicken breast sitting on top of a pile of fries, all that for $1.00. I said, hell yeah I want one, so I gave him a dollar.

He brings it back to me, and I take the foil off the top. There sits the biggest, most gorgeous chicken breast I ever saw, all golden and wonderful. I picked it up and bit right into it, through the crust and skin, and started to chew. Then I felt it, a little tickle in the back of my throat, that within about 30 seconds was a full-fledged INFERNO in my mouth! I grabbed for my Pepsi. I coughed and spluttered and breathed with my mouth open. Dude was standing there watching. They knew I was a Luzianna Noob and were just waiting to see how I reacted to that hot-as-hell chicken. Everybody in the office had a big laugh over me eating that damn piece of chicken. :giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle:

I did pull the crust back to see wth I was eating, and the meat of the chicken looked like it had been dredged in red pepper. It was seriously hot. They told me I was a wimp.

LOL..oh boy...

I just made a enourmus bowl of cold pasta salad. Made with Penne pasta, faux crab, Alaskan Salmon. mixed veggies and a nice Mexican Crema/Mayo dressing with enough Asian spices and Cajun seasonings to light ya up. Plus a dash of THIS. ;-)

I gave a local Cajun cabbie driver a bottle of my homemade Carolina Reaper/Trinidad Scorpion Lava powder for a tip once...He was amazed.

We usually get one poboy to split, the spicy fried chicken and red beans n rice
We'll cut the sandwich so the 4 of us all for a taste and then eat the chicken and beans.
We probably wouldn't do that if popeyes wasnt a treat for us. We dont order out ofte . So when we do we make it a big deal

Bahahaha!!!!
I never put hot sauce on chicken before. When I moved up here, i wanted popeyes. Shannon hadn't had it before but made the comment that she needed Frank's hot sauce for her chicken.
Let's just say that she doesnt use Frank's on fried chicken anymore.

No pictures since it’s only boiled chicken and broccoli with hot sauce for early dinner.

Yay me

Had to go buy a new grill. Birds took over the other one with babies. And they're to small to have any nutritional value. Lol

Man that looks great but my kids grew up in Paula Dean's kitchen. Hard to get them to eat good stuff like that.

may i PLEASE!!! get your Batter/ breading recipe..
have been playing as of late with differnt deep fry batters and breading,
and yours looks delishious.
Hahaha this is the easiest thing I cook.
I just use the Louisiana fish fry, add in some slap ya momma. I spritz then with fresh lemon juice when they come out the oil.
I get the yellow pack- lemon flavored. Just be careful not to get the beer batter.

seafood goes in egg wash then dredged in fish fry. Then dropped in hot oil and done.

All day NASCAR starting at 0630. Went to bed at like 1am after hanging with Schildhouse crew on iRacing.

I planned on homemade pizza, but forgot to take the Italian sausage out of the freezer..so meh.
So, need spicy junk food and fuck actual cooking. :cool:






Also made a quicky nacho cheese dip with velveeta, 4-mexi-cheese, minced Jalapenos en Escabeche and things.

I personally like a tempura-style rice flour mix with a bit of Panko for crunch too...very light and crisp and you can season it however u want. =)

I also almost never actually deep-fry...convection oven FTW.

Last time I did fry, it was homemade onion rings and I saved/strained out the oil...creates an amazing onion-seasoned oil for cooking with. ;-)

Thx!

Probably would be yummy with avocado..but would turn/spoil pretty fast.
I did this as a way to not throw out the majority of a bunch of cilantro all the time without freezing it. I love the stuff, but it just doesn't keep well.

This is what I used as a baseline: https://freshbitesdaily.com/cilantro-pesto/
Super ez and works great. =)
