this doesn't look like much, but it is a fresh ground patty with a mixture of chuck and pork belly - medium grind. it is so much better than regular hamburger.

my wife made a super tasty "crustless" pumpkin pie. we are definitely having this for thanksgiving.

Some chicken shawarma (comes with vegetable rice, lafa bread and you guessed it, hummus) - and kabab tucked inside lafa bread with hummus, mixed salad and fries.

I had some שווארמה in DC, but it was pretty bad. Forgot to take pictures of the food I got from food trucks. Best thing about huge cities, those food trucks.. Took pictures of the chinese food I got, but I haven't uploaded all of my pictures anywhere yet. I just got home about 2 hours ago.

Depends who makes it and in what style ;) Also, I would never have gotten chicken but it was the only kind made. Typically chicken just doesn't cut it for shawarma. Nonetheless, it tasted very good.

The best is when it's made from lamb.

Here's the Chinese food that I ate in Washington DC.

This was called the "Happy Family"

Dang that looks good! I'm sooooo jealous. Where I am in AZ just can't get anything close to that. I miss New York. :(

This was my lunch today. Take-out lunch. It's a portuguese speciality (from the north of portugal) called "Francesinha" or "Little french girl"...i know, strange but very delicious. The original recepie is, between 3 slices of bread, two types of meat (steak) and sausache. The top slice of bread as melted cheese and all of these rests in a special sauce made with bechamel and other ingredients, on the side some french fries.

This version (lite version lol) as no sauce e instead of bread as slices of eggplant, on the side salad with orange instead of french fries lol

Enjoy

had to give these a try. way over-rated...

2-vi.jpg


for me, no better salad than a wedge. i made some buttermilk, bacon ranch from scratch.

001-vi.jpg


old skool tuna casserole :D

002-vi.jpg


hawaiian style tripe stew, kim chee and nori

003-vi.jpg


made a batch of flank steak jerky. this one was a light teriyaki, 1 hour in the smoker and 2 more in the oven.

004-vi.jpg


saw this on TV so i tried my own version. i used a simple kalua pig recipe for my pulled pork and added a little north carolina style bbq sauce to the patties. the braised cabbage is practically verbatim. peaches are not in season so i used apples which i pickled. i added some cheddar, jalapeno grits for starch. it came out pretty good. next time, i think i'll use greens instead of cabbage.

homestyle torta
