Admittedly, I get tired of the pepper half way thru and eat the stuffing.

Pasteurized cheese is worse than whatever meat product it is?


When my brother lived in the dorms he says that they saw the cafeteria being restocked one night. He claims the boxes were labeled "Grade D but edible".

@HeinzDad I love stuffed peppers but I have never had cheese on top. My mom who passed away used to cook it up with the stuffed cabbage. I now have my wife and daughter doing it that way too.

I think that’s how my Grams made it. Wife uses cheese.

A slight variation from the salmon I cooked last week. Today we have salmon on a bed of spring mix.red and orange peppers, red onions and jalapenos peppers with a light drizzle of apple honey vinaigrette.
I am now down 106 pounds and I will do whatever it takes to keep the weight off.I am actually looking to lose another 20 pounds by the end of the summer. Working out 3 to 4 times a week is great for me, however this is 70% of it in my opinion.

Use up tortilla chip crumbs on chicken for baked chicken fingers. Whatever marinade one chooses to use will hold the crumbs, no need for eggs or milk.

@BrianGreensnips

Those are great results. Diet is easily 70% of it. Balance is also key.

@HeinzDad

In appreciate the creativity. Many times it is mixing and matching leftovers that results in some of the coolest dishes.

Thanks Dave.

I would also say being consistent is important.

Hint: it is thinly breaded and double fried.

Also tastes like chicken.

Freezer and pantry dinner tonight as I'm under the weather. Cracker Barrel White Cheddar boxed macaroni and cheese, microwave Green Giant Tuscan broccoli, and Gorton's frozen parmesan crusted fish fillets. I did have some homemade tartar sauce left over from last Sunday.

When I had something I would describe like that, it was rattlesnake.

By your points I'm assuming it was indeed chicken.

I know a Chinese place by me that used to serve ostrich. Bought it for my boss, but didn't have the guts to try it myself....

no one knows what General Tso's chicken is?

correction: I guess it is orange. Broccoli mentally induced the general.... not the insurance guy...

Chicken indeed.

I’ve had ostrich, gator, snake, snail, but to the best of my knowledge no puppy dog tails.

Did you make it yourself? Or is it from restaurant? If you made it from scratch you have a recipe uou can share?


@HeinzDad
General tsaos chicken I've never seen broccoli but I'm sure restaurants vary from place to place....

My knowledge is likely trash. I speak on restaurants' behalf since I don't know my way around a wok.

I don't either. I know only from the Chinese places by me. Or buffets from back in the day.

My brother bought a wok so he could make Chinese dishes. Apparently it is mandatory to have a high heat source for some dishes. That can't be replicated on a stove top apparently. Something to do with dragons breath and high heat in Chinese cooking.....

There is an ostrich farm a couple towns over, so I've had ostrich burgers before and they're really quite good. I've also had elk, bison, wild boar, frog legs, escargot, squid ink spaghetti, the aforementioned rattlesnake, Rocky Mountain oysters, and lots of other strangeness. I rather enjoy the adventure. I'd love to try alligator someday.

I've had alligator tail in New Orleans a few times. It was served as if it were chicken nuggets.

The dish is an amalgam because we (usually “I”) cook every day and it is typically after I’ve been up for 13-14 hrs… so practicality trumps details. My wife does take down some of my recipes to execute when I’m not cooking but I go by intuition rather than measuring ingredients.

It isn’t really exactly general tso, or orange chicken, or sesame chicken. Closest is general tso (which I think goes very well with broccoli).

Batter (tonight) was blend of cornstarch and flour. Chicken in egg, soy, garlic, marinade for about 2 hrs. Sauce includes chinese black vinegar (soeos), hoisin, dark brown sugar, cayenne, ginger, lime juice to add tang, garlic and rice wine (plus water and soy). Cornstarch to thicken. Toasted sesame seeds.

Fried in rotating batches (2 batches, twice fried each) in canola at 350 degrees - flame up when dropping a batch, back flame off when emptying to keep oil temp constant. Broccoli was wok stir fried.

Easy meal. I add more heat separately. If it was for just wife and me then the ingredients would have more zing and less zang.

Thank you. I'll share this with my brother. Never heard of Chinese black vinegar

There aren’t many dishes I won’t try. Setting aside dumb ones (puffer fish) or dishes solely to prove something (puffer fish again?)

Alligator was okay. Best I can describe it is between turkey and bison.

So a bit grainy and drier than chicken and beef lol.

Edit: “dumb” being a real risk of illness or death

It isn’t so much a recipe as a list. I am sure my wife has an “execution” copy somewhere of another variant that I’ve made. There is a great drunken noodle chicken I used to make that I’m sure isn’t too authentic (but maybe not far off)… my wife made me walk her through the steps with actual measurements. She then became the one to recreate it… and was more consistent than me.
