What Are You Eating Right Now?

[HeHateMe]

For sure. Puerto Rican food is amazing. We have a HUGE Puerto Rican population in FL, especially central FL. Looks like @HeHateMe got you pointed in the right direction in the Chicago area I had no idea either.

Sorta related, I'm trying to get better at Latin American cooking. Right now my focus is on Mexican. I found this older lady's YouTube channel and am fascinated by it:

De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina

www.youtube.com

The only problem is it's all in Spanish and I don't speak it - although you can kind of follow along, and some of the videos are subtitled (but only a fraction). I hope she keeps getting whoever is doing it, to keep adding them. There are a few recipes I'd really like to have more detail on vs trying to figure out what she's doing by watching.

Rick Bayless buddy!

No idea if I've posted this here before, probably have...it is kind of a standard at my house: half ass French dips. Super easy and pretty damn good given the level of effort involved.

Get a pot, and put in a can of beef consomme, a can of water and season with fresh ground black pepper, rosemary, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then drop down to a simmer.

Buy some good quality rolls from a bakery (supermarket or otherwise). Split with a serrated knife and slather a light coat of mayo with a bit of garlic powder mixed in on the interior of the rolls.

In the simmering beef broth, add some thinly sliced rare roast beef and cook for a few mins, and allow the meat to absorb some of the juice flavor. It's been my experience that roughly 1lb of roast beef makes about 3 good sandwiches. YMMV based on how big your rolls are, how thin things are sliced, etc.

Distribute the beef evenly onto the rolls. Top with some thick cut provolone and put under the broiler for about two minutes. Watch it close. Can go from good to burnt to **** real quick.

Pour the liquid from the pan in equal parts into little cups for dipping.

It's good given the amount of effort.

I also like to add some hot giardiniera onto the sandwiches prior to the broil phase, under the cheese. But you do you.

Kitchen be smelling really good atm, no clue how it's going to turn out because I've never tried this one before:

Stuffed a 2-lbs red snapper with parsley and cilantro from my garden. In an overproof pot, i stirred up some garlic, onion, red bell peppers, long Italian red peppers, and Aleppo pepper flakes. Then added tomato sauce which I had canned from the summer garden and water into the pot. Dropped the fish into the pot and tossed it into the oven for 30 minutes. I will then debone and skin the fish and return it to the veggie/sauce in the pot and serve it up for me and my wife/date and wash it down with a glass of my favorite Premiere Cru Chablis.

Then will have cognitive dissonance on whether to watch the new season of Better Call Saul, Narcos Mexico, or the new series Hunters on Amazon.

And, of course, regardless, I shall offer up my massage services to Mrs. Racer at any point.

Sounds like a nice evening. I'm off to bed in a minute, because my daughter made it into the county social studies fair with her recent project, which earns me the right to sit around on bleachers in a gym for a good chunk of my Saturday waiting for judging.

I'm still trying to figure out how I can sneak off and do some fishing or possibly grab some beach brunch since this thing is being held at New Smyrna Beach HS. The opening ceremony starts at 9am and the awards take place at roughly 1:30pm. I have the attention span of a gnat when I'm bored, so I need to figure out what to do with myself tomorrow.

PS- I definitely enjoyed Season 2 of Narcos Mexico. Was pretty solid.

Sounds like it might be a pretty exciting Saturday now that you get to meet Fisch Sunbiz and Gunzan tomorrow.

Lmao.

I probably shouldn't be revealing this much personal location info online.

Edit - I'll fight all three of them at the same time though. Or maybe two. Gunzaan will be too drunk to give me a challenge, I'll throw some vegetables at Spartan since that's his kryptonite and Fisch will likely be hiding in the bushes while I deal with the other two.

Edit 2 - I mixed up Spartan with Sunbiz. I'm pretty sure the latter can't be with 1000 yards of a school, So a quick call to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office could take care of that pretty quickly.

I do this with TV and video games, and always end up just not doing anything.

You made quite a few posts after this one for about 40 minutes?
How did the fish turn out?

It was really great, gonna bring that into my rotation - super easy, flavorful, healthy and tasty fish stew, can easily feed a large group by scaling up the quantities.

Never got around to it, had some mild and temporary kid drama to deal with.

I've been binging all of his stuff, and just bought 2 of his cookbooks. I know you've mentioned him before, but good chit. Thanks!

Everyone in the nvan household has been in varying stages of sickness for the last few weeks. It's finally hitting me, although I almost never actually get sick. Just teetering on the edge. I pump myself full of vitamin C and try and sleep as much as possible. That usually does the trick.

So I made a big ass pot of some chicken noodle soup. Plenty of shredded chicken, egg noodles, carrots, onion, celery, basil, chicken broth, garlic, oregeno and some salt & pepper.

I can't eat soup by itself for a meal so also made myself a turkey sandwich to go along with it. Thick-cut toasted white bread, mayo, turkey breast, romaine lettuce, some nice heirloom tomatoes, avocado and some gouda. Also hit with some more salt and pepper on the tomatoes while assembling.

Not exactly gourmet, but it was pretty damn good.
