I remember those after a night at the bar. Problem was staying awake to eat it, or to keep from burning down the house.:rock:

I remember those after a night at the bar. Problem was staying awake to eat it, or to keep from burning down the house.:rock:
Many years ago I used to hang out with a guy named 'Denny'.
One night he had gone honky tonkiny and was a bit under the influence of the alcohol. He decided to make an omelet and he'd gotten it done and eaten. Then he went to sleep.
When he woke up he found that the pan was still on and that it was filled with this black stuff. He tossed the pan and forgot the entire thing--until he was cleaning his kitchen. His broom drug something out of the stove.
He found a plastic handle----the black stuff was the spatula--:w--:roflmao:rofl2:
It’s not a dinner but breakfast.
I buy the ingredients separately on the local baazar. A plate with my favourite apples – Coxes (Cox’s Orangen Reinette). It’s rare variety, but still available, because trees are capricious. So not everyone wants to grow it. But it's delicious.

Some prunes are a must.

A little bit of cashews, walnuts, raisins, mulberries and almonds.

Oatmeal made with goat milk with a pinch of linseed.

And now I’m ready to shave.
Looking good.

That is an impressive brekky dish @elymz. Outstanding.
Yes. It looks great!
Looks like a lot of work...And HEALTHY too!
Gee....I dunno..;)
I had to check his location. Thought for sure he was from California.
If the oatmeal wasn't wet, u could put it in a bag as trail mix.
Oh.....Pollen? We seem to suck enough of that just breathing where I live...Never have seen it as a ...Spice?
Thanks folks for a kind word. I add linseed and pollen to enrich the dish with micro- and macro-elements. I read many medical articles about pollen. A lot of ingredients were found there but when tried to reproduce artificially in one pill - without success. If someone doesn't like them pure - won't feel any difference in taste with such a small portion.

Pork and yard greens. Tenderloin cooked sous vide at 144°F for 8 hours, with herbs and spices, then sliced into medallions. Greens are all wild or volunteer or hangers-on from last year that just refuse to die. Broccoli side shoots, dendelions, bok choy, collards, dollar weed, and radish sprouts. All braised together with onions and herbs from the garden. The tenderloin was on sale, too. So, it was a very cheap meal. Oh, and white jasmine rice underneath it all. I had to buy that. And the ruby port for the deglace.
Lamb chops in herbs with potatos sprinkled with parsley & dill. Salad of tomatos & onions with olive oil. Czech bier.

Wife has been OT for a long while. Take-out sucks. No decent fried chicken nor burgers close by.
Tired of Mexican! Just batchin... :p
Had a Ribeye last night with a salad. Sliced the leftover thin and made a sammy.
Sauteed Jalapeno slices and onions topped with cheese and the iceberg.
No maters, but sloshed with salsa. Ranch on the bread sides.
Mighty fine!

Well let me give you a little background on 'Tuna'.
When I was a small boy I didn't like mom's tuna fish sandwiches and I HATED her grilled tuna sandwiches (which she made with 'Miracle Whip'--:td
Years later when I first married I found a product called 'Mayonnaise'--what a difference.
When my wife suggested that I have a 'Tuna Pie' I was not open to the idea, the memories of mom's grilled cheese came to mind. Anyway, I gave it a go and now I love it.
When my kids come over I'll fix one, but every now and then I'm all alone so a full pie isn't feasible. So I now make it in a 6" pie pan.
I do hope that all will enjoy.

Interesting...!
Mayo and miracle whip have their rightful places. Agreed. My buddy who's a chef uses mayo in a few fish dishes...and all are awesome.
As far as a condiment goes, I have taken to ranch dressing over both. Just me...
There was a pizza joint up here and they gladly gave out ranch dressing to dip your pizza in. I found it very good but very rich.:tuQuote:

Gotta have those big Fritos to dip it with. Really good out on the boat! Num-num!!
Of course he weighed about 300 lbs. :)
Personally I'm a ketchup fan.
I think ketchup goes with anything, even more ketchup!
My wife used go mad when I put it on my Christmas dinner lol.
It was said Nixon put ketchup on ice creamQuote:

Oh and hushpuppies on the side.
Went a little fancy today. Beef Wellington, with prime chateubriand, pate foie gras, black truffles, garden jalapeños with some locally grown bellos for the bruxelle. Mustard was Zatarain's creole mustard, but shame on me, store bought puff pastry cause running outta time. Asparagus with hollandaise courtesy of the wife, roasted baby potatoes with herbs and bacon, bloody mary pre-dinner, 2021 Louis Jadot Beujolais to accompany, Otimo 40 yo tawny port with sweetened columbian espresso post dinner. Oh, crepes suzette for desert but rather than make exactly the right number of crepes I decided to layer them and slice like a pie to serve. Wife also made whipped cream with bitter chocolate and orange zest to top it. Our guests left happy.

First time I ever made Beouf Wellington so very happy it came out not too bad.

Crepes Suzette. Burn, baby, burn.
Beer battered walleye, fresh from the north coast, here. And homemade hushpuppies.
Lime/garlic tarter sauce.Attachment 352552
I think someone stole a Dairy Queen basket! :ziplip:
That ain't no DQ, however!
Looks great!
So, catch of the day Friday was four channel cats, a redear turtle and a softshell. I usually don't mess with turtles unless they are snappers and good size ones, but the redear was decent size and I hadn't made turtle soup in a while. Little did I know but they are even tougher to open up than snappers. Couldn't get a knife point into the joint, had to use a chisel. Ended up giving the softshell a pardon, we released him into London Avenue Canal. THIS,

Became THIS,

Turtle Soup and Catfish Courtbouillon. Everything caught or home grown except the Thai Jasmine Rice and the Beaujolais. Oh and the sherry in the soup.
Haven't had snapper soup since I was a kid. Neighbor used to trap them. 13 different flavors from what I remember. It's been 40 some years now.Quote:
