What Are you Eating Right Now?
Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
Wife is making stew in the crockpot, started it around 7 am this morning, whole house is filled with the delicious aroma. Going to have my dad over for dinner later this afternoon, trying not to snack now so I can gorge myself later.

I was planning to grill a couple of steaks tonight but its so fucking windy it would be impossible. Now I wish I had a beef stew going instead.
Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
It's pretty breezy here today and a bit on the cool side (by our standards / 64 F) so the stew just sounds like some good old fashioned comfort food. Wife just told me she's making corn bread to go with it. Can't wait for my hamstring to heal, gotta get some running in again in order to offset all the leftovers we're going to have from this.

Last night I bought two burritos for my son and I from the brew pub down the way. They bring in local food trucks every friday so I figured I'd support a local small business. The burritos were awful and the side of rice despite having a nice color was flavorless and a bit under cooked and crunchy. Poorly cooked rice is a deal breaker for me. This is the 2nd time in like 6 months Ive gotten bad rice from a local eatery. Honestly its one of the easiest things to cook.

Shame about the burritos, hope the beer was more adequate!revbob wrote: ↑12 Mar 2022, 3:56pmLast night I bought two burritos for my son and I from the brew pub down the way.

Beer was excellent, as expected. I thought my firend was tending bar but she wasn't. So I had a few beers anyway etc, getting the burritos seemed like a good idea since I was hanging out instead of making dinner.BitterTom wrote: ↑13 Mar 2022, 1:21pmShame about the burritos, hope the beer was more adequate!revbob wrote: ↑12 Mar 2022, 3:56pmLast night I bought two burritos for my son and I from the brew pub down the way.

Yes, and a Frenck stick baguette smeared in garlic butter and cooked in the oven.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
In the late 90s/early 2000s I was working for a week in Williamsport, PA, and 4 of us decided that for dinner we’d check out this small Mexican restaurant in town. We got there, and we were the only customers in the place. As we sat down, an adorable 6-year-old girl comes out from the kitchen with a little pad of paper. Her parents ran the place, and they had sent her out to take our order. We thought it was cute as hell. So first, she takes our drink orders. I forget what everyone else ordered, but my buddy Ryan asked for a Mountain Dew. So the little girl says (word for word, I’ll never forget it) “There was a guy in here earlier, and he didn’t finish his Mountain Dew. If you want, I can give you that for a reduced price.” We all looked at each other, dumbfounded, and then at Ryan. A bit confused, he stammers “Uh….no thanks….I’ll pay full price for a new one.” Ok, fine, she says with a note of disappointment, and then she goes back to the kitchen to get our drinks. We just about died laughing at the look on poor Ryan’s face. But she was 6, so whatever. Little did we know….revbob wrote: ↑12 Mar 2022, 3:56pmLast night I bought two burritos for my son and I from the brew pub down the way.

She comes back a few minutes later to take our meal order, which took like 10 minutes for her to write down….but again, she was 6, so whatever. So she finally brings out our meal order – basically a bunch of burritos, rice, tortilla chips, etc. Standard stuff. It….wasn’t great. The little girl comes back a few minutes later to see how everything is and asks if we wanted anything else. Ryan asks for some guacamole and salsa. She brings out a plate with little bowls of guac and salsa, with broken tortilla chips and dip-marks in them – they had obviously been served to a previous customer and were just taken from another table. With blank faces, we took one long look at it, then at each other, and at this point, about a third of the way through our meal, we collectively realize that everything we are eating is basically just combined leftovers from various previous customers. Fucking disgusting, lol. So we asked for the check and this little girl asks us if we want the leftovers wrapped up to go. Wide-eyed, , we uttered a collective “Uh….no….thanks”. Her little face lit up, and practically skipping she took the leftovers back to the kitchen, undoubtedly to be served again to the next customer. So if you’re ever in Williamsport, PA….uh.…I would recommend that you opt for the Italian restaurant.
