I'm cool with cream cheese frosting but damn dude...This pic could be in a magazine or in an ad for a restaurant it's that good. If I saw this plate in a Yelp review, I'd be making reservations today!

I've noticed CB and I are similar when it comes to food. We both like to cook and value presentation!

I made a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache for GF's birthday one year. I decided to surprise her with breakfast in bed. Benedict with all the trappings including Mimosas. Even made the Hollandaise from scratch. Topped it off with nice strong coffee and a slice of the cake. I plated the cake and garnished with mint leaves and chocolate shavings around the slice.

anybody like beek jerky??
hunk of hickory and some thick slabs, about another five hours to go...

 

[Zen_seeker]

Used to live off it and Pillers spicy pepperoni. (Dry not damp) That and fresh French stick bread.

Sadly lunch when I have it is still a hard bun and two pepperoni pushed in. Old habit.

 

[Zen_seeker]

We pick up about 3-5 pack’s every time they go on sale these days. Toss them in the freezer until needed.


Open the pack to let it dry out if damp. Don’t like them with moisture in them.

 

[Cool_Beans]

There is a chef near me that has her own lunch spot/deli and she makes her own smoked pepperoni that is to die for. Told me she spent 10 years on it. Next time I'm up that way I'll score you a couple links.

[steamroller]

Yes,yes,yes~!

 

[Stoneyluv]

bacon wrapped shrimp, and perogies....

 

[Zen_seeker]

Chocolate
Walnut
Coconut
Canna Honey
Ounce of last harvest buds
(Ground fine and filtered after sitting in honey 8 hours, twice, then squeezed.)

I call them chocolate macaroons but really a chocolate cluster.

Son had one thinking it was like the ABV cookies. After an hour he felt something but thought he was okay for two.

He got ripped. Then lost function. Wife and I are sleeping upstairs. He made it to bed without falling or throwing up. But he did get spins and waves. He was still fuzzy 12 hours later.

I haven’t had one yet. Wife didn’t think it was that strong but she only had one. I think one of his cookies had a larger portion of buds or a pocket of honey.

We’ll see. He doesn’t want one tonight. Looks hungover. I’m wait until bed time.

We cut up the bacon, add some onions, and change perogies from time to time. Potato is the main one. Sour cream and jalapeños optional.

[Bandit420]

Good ol Texas BBQ!

The future is here

The future is here

There's some sushi restaurants here using those robot waiters.

We also have these guys running around populated areas of the city delivering pizza and ChicFilA with these robots things but people rob the robot so a human still has to watch it



And of course driverless taxi cabs



The robot delivery takes a $20 pizza and makes it a $35 pie just because a robot delivers it. And the autonomous car costs around $24/mile to ride in. Techy cities are not as cool as they think they are and it's shit like this that has me wanting the quiet beach bum life in a small coastal town and leave this city life in the rearview mirror.

Nah, in the future the robots will have laser weaponry and wear Stetsons.....this is a tame version, somewhere in the Midwest judging by the accents.

 

[Bandit420]

Been a spell since I had a Sunday dinner throw down. Made this spread up for 'Dega.

Steamed tails with garlic butter. Sous vide tenderloins at 135F for three hours then seared with my flame thrower in the cast iron with butter and drippings. Texas garlic toast with and without blue cheese. Lobster & 5 cheese mac baked in cast iron and a side of creamed spinach
