i haven’t used mayo in years, but you made it sound so good that i had to get a jar and crack it open to add some flavor to fish tacos i made with pan grilled trout.
Later at Aldis i saw a special on 1 lb bag of brussel sprouts, so i got those to go with a ground beef hot chipotle burrito for supper. Nuked a few for 2 minutes to soften and pre-cook the centers, then sliced in half and pan grilled them to put on a good char. Next time i’ll char some onion and garlic with them—it will be kickin’
Never was a fan of brussels sprouts, but halving them and then frying with loads of garlic… yum!
I glop on the mayo when having a samwich. Cranky guy at a Karl Elmer’s would get nasty when I’d ask for “extra extra extra extra mayo”, because he’d like dip the knife in the jar and use that little coating on the entire samwich. Uhhh, yeah, spare it, eh?
Once he asked me if I just wanted the jar, and I acted as if I was taking him seriously, like, “Really?? Yeah, sure, great!!”, which didn’t go over too well. He’d always find some reason to duck in back when I’d be next, to let someone else take my order. And they did it right.
Ironically, I got a coupla slices of ham left, that I was gonna have with mustard as a change of pace.
Snack yesterday was a bag of Texas Toast croutons, garlic’n’butter. I could eat those like potato-chips…
Go smoked bacon with them. They’re Brassica family, same as mustard and all those greens, they go really well with bacon and onion. I don’t know if you get tinned or vac-sealed sweet chestnuts in the US, but all that lot chopped and fried makes an epic mashed potato companion.
Just made cheese-dogs. Didn’t want to cook anything.
White toast, line with a slicenehalf of cheddar to fit the length of the bread, split the hotdogs to 2-across (2/3 and 1/3 from one, 1/3 from another), fold up like a taco.
My Lunar New Year of the Tiger lunch: egg noodle (uncut) for longevity, fried wonton and wonton soup for gold and good luck, and colourful “pearls” in coconut cream to cool down.
