I had mac and cheese. I'm such a sell out

i wanted to make home made spaghetti sauce and meatballs, but I dont have any basil.. hmm.. my lentils last night were bitchin.

I'm now thinking stuffed peppers and meat sauce ...
... with a good veggie/wheat pasta

Hmmmm ...

Fucking awesome, btw ....

tru, was it boxed mac and cheese?

Dave, kinda peppers did you use?
I am making my from scratch spaghetti sauce. all ingredients and ntohing but time. now if only my hormones behave, I should have it in the bag.

Yes and was a really cheap brand at that. Like 3 for a dollar.

Doc says I'm low on iron so she told me to eat more red meat.  First time i've ever heard a doctor say that.  Low on B12 and testosterone too, but she's gonns give me a monthly shot for that.

But I tried sauerkraut yesterday, and discovered that I goddamn LOVE sauerkraut.

I like it but can't say I love it. You can make a really interesting German meatloaf using sauerkraut and caraway seeds.

I like KimChi once in a while and haven't found anyone else who does.

Phaedrus, how old are you?
B12 shots make you feel great. would be a great start to taking walks and stuff.

I like fresh cooked cabbage. not a real fan of vinegar and pickled foods.

I was kind of wondering how he could have had such a sheltered life to not have tried so many things already. LOL.  But then I knew an 86 year old woman who had never had toasted marshmallows or mushrooms on pizza until I introduced her to them.

 

I'm 42.  And culinarily (is that a word?) Yeah it's been pretty sheltered.  This is east texas, where it's either barbecue or fast food.

 Im from south east tx. where ya from? But I grew 10 min from downtown Houston. all kinds of food. grocery stores were pretty bleak in the country.

had leftover pizza and a Caesar salad and now im having a piece of dark chocolate cake I made myself and a cup of hot milk.

Just green peppers ... Rice, bread crumbs, spices, and ground pork ....

I'm German ... I love the shit ...

I agree with the German meatloaf ...
I fucking LOVE kimchi; I had a neighbor who used to make it for me ...

I'm 42.

So am I; I didn't know we were the same age; I thought you were a couple of years behind me ...

I think the German meatloaf recipe also used rye bread or pumpernickel I can't remember which.
I've only made it a couple of times and it's been years. But I'm sure the recipe is easier to find now than when I made it last time. 

Well, I'll be 42 in June, actually, after adding it up.  June 26 1973.  I'm a Cancer.  TO SOCIETY!  HAW!

And I am about three or four hours north of Houston.  Right on the east edge of Texas, probably closer to Shreveport, La than any major city in Texas.  I grew up out in the country, but the tiny town I grew up near is in a Tex Ritter song.

BTW the 86 year old woman I mentioned and her husband were both from texas as well. Moved to Ca in 1949.
Don't know if that's relevant.

finally made the spaghetti and meatballs. made the sauce from scratch. looks, tastes and smells amazing.
Added baby bellas and wilted greens. its gonna be so fucking good. I am not italian, though my last name does originate off the coast of Italy. Ill show yall when the pasta is ready.

Never made sauce completely from scratch. But have modified the stuff in the jar to make it seem more homemade almost always. 

I love making sauce from scratch ...
It's not as difficult as you'd think it is, really ...

October 14, 1972 ... So, you're closer to a year behind me ...

A Google search of German Meatloaf yields a LOT of variations ...

None of those recipes include sauerkraut, how fucking German can they be?

I call fowl on that link.

Looks good, Hilder ...
I'm thinking about making a nice, rich chili ...

I know, that's why I posted it ...

mmm chili. beans or no beans?

No beans if you make cornbread, beans if using crackers.

Oh, why does no beans cost twice as much?

Oh you are saying that sauerkraut is not an ingredient in German meatloaf then?
No you are saying it's been omitted from most recipes huh?

Hard to find one, too bad because it was really good.

No, I'm saying that I'm surprised those recipes don't include it ...
I know I remember it with sauerkraut in it as well ....

some people dont do beans in chili. I do. more beans than meat. and huge chunks of veggies.

Yeah, I thought for a second you were punking me, but then came to my senses.

Isn't beans sort of a no no in texas?

I once said it isn't chili, without beans, to a guy from texas and he got upset.

yeah. no beans in TX.

Yeah, I don't know why; I've ALWAYS loved beans in my chili ...
