Topic: What are you eating / What did you eat.

I read somewhere that "budgerigar" is an aboriginal word meaning "good to eat."  Here's a video of a woman describing her galah.  I recommend that you watch with the sound off as it has a nauseating soundtrack.

That music reminds of Trini Lopez.

I thought you needed actual cheese curds for poutine.

I just didn't want the heavy of chili fries, just put shredded cheese on.

Did I mention my cholesterol. You lot are doing it on purpose!

If someone mentions Black Forest Gateau, they're banned!

Chips and cheese

That sounds like an item from the "eat bad die fast" diet.  I'm making chana masala.  From a youtube video guy who has yet to fail me.  The house smells great.  We are having it with spinach sauteed with garlic and some basmati rice.  Vegetarian.  No cholesterol.  Forgive me if I've posted this before; my memory isn't what it used to be.

wife made a lovely hoisin chicken and noodles, house smelled of take away for ages ( tasted like old fashioned chip shop curry to me) it was very filling and nice though

I was reading recipes on how to make vanilla coke and they were all so fussy, like "first make your vanilla syrup".
I was not keen to do any of that, so I just hit some regular coke with a few drops of vanilla extract. (approx 5-6 drops)

The result tastes like stale root beer. Do not recommend.

We have a hoisin chicken recipe that we love, although you have to prep the marinade in advance.  It's magic coming off the grill.  https://www.recipelink.com/msgbrd/board_31/2003/OCT/20962.html

Truly sad sloppy joes. I should have gone to the dollar store and bought a can of manwich.

At least the muenster was tasty.

Cream scones with various jams and marmalade.  Homemade often tastes better.  Earl Grey Tea.  Still waking up.

Sorry about the sloppy joes, 8ully.

I recently made a turkey meatloaf.  It turned out fine, but I remembered as we were eating it that I basically don't like meatloaf.  I gave half of it away, still warm, to a neighbor.  They were happy to have it.

Spaghetti and Meatballs.

I do believe this is the first meal I've had this year that I enjoyed. It's mostly been "damnit, it's dinner time again, what can I slap on a plate and choke down"

But the playoff games were exciting, and I had the time, so I made Spaghetti. Frozen meatballs (Gordon ramsay would not approve) that tasted good and not of filler.

I also got to try out a new pasta sauce that I'm sure will never be at grocery outlet again, such is the heartbreak. It did something different with Olive Oil, and it impressed the hell out of me. Usually, my spaghetti soaks up the sauce leaving a rather bland, starchy disappointment, but this sauce seemed to use the oil to coat the noodles, allowing the sauce to be a sauce.

Nothing particularly exciting, but it was quite tasty.

my sort of meal

Low cholesterol.

Edit: Don't eat all the way around the trunk or you risk killing the tree.

That's a hard ask with these teeth.
