Everything FOOD.

Bacon and eggs! I'm the same way, if I find something I like then I just keep on ordering the same thing over and over rather than try something new and end up not liking it. That always happens to me, too! If there's something that I really like, then I never order anything but it. It's a really bad habit but I hate it when I try something new and then it tastes bad and then I never want to try new things again.

I think everyone is guilty of this habit at their fav restaurants. For me it's massamam beef from the thai place around the corner from my house

^ Pho is the best! Too bad I can't go out for lunch at the place I work....

So I made dinner early tonight (at like 4:30pm) since I skipped breakfast and runch. It was salmon. Honestly, I made up the recipe as I was going. Here's what I did, for those who want to make it too.

Start with 600 g (1 lb.) side cut of fresh Atlantic Salmon. Mine was in the freezer so I had to thaw it in microwave.

While thawing, pour olive oil into a bowl, about 10 mL of it.


Now add herbs; cilantro and dill are good for this. I couldn't find any, so I added rosemary instead.


Add finely diced garlic. I don't have any so I substituted with this powder.


Add diced onion.


Add your preference of spices or make your own. I used steak spice.


Mix and apply to both sides of salmon. Place on an oiled aluminium sheet on a baking pan.


Place in oven for 60 minutes @ 390°F (200°C). This is the only instance where Fahrenheit is ever used in Canada

Put frozen corn into a pot with a few cups of water. I don't have measuring equipment so I'm guessing quantities throughout.


Put on high heat. Add in frozen vegetable pasta and stir as it boils for 10 minutes. The stove element is red, but the camera can't capture infrared wavelengths, so it looks purple here.


Put rice in rice cooker and make it. Pretty easy.

Strain the vegetables and put into a bowl. Steamed vegetables are always very boring.... Add 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of salted butter, and some black pepper and mix. Avoid over flavouring the pasta/vegetables because it will interfere with tasting the salmon.


You'll be done making vegetables and rice before the salmon is finished cooking. I played Gran Turismo while waiting...


Proper marinating of the salmon to absorb the flavour will make it taste much better. I prepared from frozen-thawed, so the seasoning will not have permeated the meat throughout. I ate everything that was cooked.. so full.....

@j_lucky84 I only get half an hour for lunch and there isn't much around my work place to buy food. I think the closest Mcd is a 5-10 drive. My work place is a plant facility as well. They don't want any people to wander into the facility so the entrance and exit is gated.

Its not really a lunch lock in, but it is a hassle to get back in once you are out.

PS: the food pictures are making me hungry alreadyyyy

^^^^

I am definitely going to try that the next time I am in Portland!
The chicken wings look so tastyyyyy!

Those chicken wings look pretty good. Do you know whether this is American food or some other ethnic food?

^^ haha yeah.

I'm craving for some teppanyaki today, what are you guys cravying for?

I just made some home-made pizza. I have to say it isn't that bad.

I've been making homemade Egg McMuffins for breakfast a lot lately.  They are so good.  Fry an egg, fry some bacon, toast the english muffin, cut up some onion and tomato (avocado if I'm going Big), slap some cheese on it and I've got a party.

Brie cheese on crackers is a pleasantly simple delicacy :)

I remember putting spray cheese on crackers as a kid. Not sure if they still sell spray cheese.

@snowboardinrox357

The food is definitely not American. I believe its Thai and Vietnamese.

Just had the Jack in the Box Loaded Breakfast Sandwich for breakfast and it is awesome. If you live near a Jack in the Box go get in tomorrow morning.

I've never been to Jack in the Box for breakfast before. If I were to go there, what should I get besides hash browns?

Originally posted by thisisjoebro found some cheezits in my book bag. Got them saturday and forgot about it. I got way too excited haha

I love Cheez-Its, especially the white cheddar or parmesan flavored ones. Whenever I get a chance to eat chips or Cheez-Its, I can never stop eating them. It's a bad habit of mine.

speaking of cheese flavoured snacks, recently in Europe I was pleasantly suprised to find my favourites from back home, Twisties, under a different name they were called Fonzies.

Originally posted by cds4288 me and my ole lady just made our first time home made sushi. it was spicy shrimp which is our favorite at Surin, a thai place in town. it was OFF THE CHAIIIN. it was a little difficult for the first time but it will get easier.

Did you get the sushi mat/roller thing? We have a few of em at our place and it certainly helps the process! lol. I still suck at it, but the gf's really into that sort of thing, so usually she handles the messy work.

With regard to cheez-its, i like em too.. but not as much as my cat does... Those and better cheddars are her fave snacks in the whole wide world. But don't try to fool her with that generic shit, she's can tell the difference lol.

hell no, we used an empty zip lock bag it was not the right choice but we still made some. I am going to go to walmart and see if they have some bamboo mats to make it better next time. If they dont have it there im going to hit up a cooking store or something of the sort.

I'm currently addicted to those Pepperettes, went in the store today looking for something a little different because I just finished a bag of 450g. Was hoping to find some hot rods but they only had those small 4 packs... I want them boxes where theres like 20!

Originally posted by jhoang6 LoL a buddy of mine got some from those deli places and ate too much in one sitting said he got stomach craps, vowed never to do it again.  A sale came up and he did it three more times. LMAO 1kilo for $10 is really cheap! I'm on the hunt for Schiender's brand cuz I've got coupons for it =D

What are these pepperettes things? I've never heard of them but they sound good :)

Lol it really is the best snack around. The locally made stuff isn't vacuum-packed to seal in moisture like the brand-name products, because it's supposed to be dried out and stored at room temp. I also find the brand name stuff, like Schneiders, is too filling to eat and doesn't taste very good. I'll find the address of the one went to in Niagara Falls for you, if you're ever in the area:

Originally posted by solocreep Hungry and had a snickers. Still not satisfied.

No bake cookies are a great invention! lil bit of mixing, little bit of setting.. then BOOM! eat! Lemon bars n all that stuff are gooood. I'm not a fan of the no-bake cheesecakes though. They just always taste off.
