… oh, boy!!
the ‘hood goodness never ends!!
… tiff, yer gonna shit!!
thanks rashers! thanks rupan! was a last minute take-out call, kinda my quick decision resort of sorts. had no idea you were already closed. but, you offering to make me a sandwich even though being closed really touched me. yer a good man rupan, thank you for doing this for me! and, thanks for the freebie (i really appreciate that)! well, i did run as fast as i could, all the while was still in disbelief (didn’t know if i was running for the great eats, or wanting to get there before he changed his mind)! two kinds of pork, curried taters, pickled red onions, and cilantro, on a toasted bun! the proverbial pics y’all… gratis!
… and, now god is blessing me! still, can’t believe all the kindness/niceness here?! it’s regular canada amped up 10X! it’s infectious… i really REALLY am so blessed!!” roti from heaven” was my alternative blog-post, but shithead in any title rules y’all! speaking of ruling… riverdale neighbour tyler says, “east end is the best”… ya got that shit right bro!
ok. heaven’s aforementioned roti… from eadrey’s!
no bowl, no problem!
always had a knack making shite up as i go!
saved, and sliced an oj container makin’ a makeshift bowl. bob’s my uncle!
fridge/freezer clearing out process before the big move is today’s meal!
sausages grilled, then tossed my mario batali grill pan. thang was heavy as fuck!
PLUS… w/today’s returns, made a whole nineteen dollars and four cents… holla!
3 year old balderson/hot banana peppers omelette, grilled sausages, seasoned wedges!
damn straight… i’m def kitchn’ bitchn’!!
the whole nine yards lasagna… was a coin flip, both blogposts work/rock! not one to be shy w/leftovers… #foodforafrigginweek! meat sauce is my most complicated, time involved, meatsaucemakingendeavourever. oxtail and veal are the stars of this show… took hours of low ‘n slow-cooking perfection. puts my awesome lasagna bolognese to shame, it’s THAT good! sheets are Italian (of course), these are the thick-ass ones w/wavy ridges, made from durum wheat semolina (of course, again). five cheeses – don’t ask, and went w/a chianti reserva to seal the deal! mangia tutti!
megamofodeepdishlasagna! now, that’s a blogpost folks!
technically Fileja Calabresi, but spewing that three times fast is a mouthful of marbles gone horribly sideways, plus ain’t alliterative! in any case, is spaghetti epitomized to the nth degree… and then some!
danssauce is a culmination of time+effort… as well as my superduperchefskillset!!
… and for all ya foodies out there… shite def don’t get better than this!!
… that’s right!! started w/searing a beauty piece of oxtail before doin’ ma regular meatball thang (this is shit i make up as i go folks, i swear)… was looking to give that extra depth of flavour. is perfect when ya think ’bout it… my meatballs are veal & pork, the beef completes the meat trifecta – genius! btw, deglazed w/white wine too for more oomph! and, we chefs love oomph! purposely wasn’t shy using a shite-load of homemade sauce filled to the le creuset brim today either! why? how do you spell leftovers? l-e-f-t-o-v… never mind, lol! sides of creminis and hot (i mean, HOT) ontario peppers are the perfect compliment. at this point no skimping… olives too y’all! decided on my famous meatball sang today, provolone, romano def don’t hurt my fave/best (ok, ONE of, lol) italian meals ever! finished w/an obligatory splash of masi of course, and … roberto’s yer zio!!
Is how I’ve been… my brain frantically figuring out food for today! Thought I had it all set in stone last night too… Zin Zen was the plan, and don’t get me started on that one, woulda been the day of all days… the eats of all eats… the best $0.99 I ever spent! YES… 99¢ folks … y’all have no idea (OK, Caymus is a clue for sleuths in ya)!! But, Mother Nature stepped in (bitch… cunt, lol), and ultimately, ultra high humidity nixed it, nipped it in the bud! As a result, today dansplans kept changing, OVER AND OVER… at least dozen times! And, after much bustin’ brain against the wall (ok, pillow, lol), here is were we stand!
Fresh ground, hand formed burger, cremini ‘shrooms, heirloom tomato, swiss emmentaler, special sauce, on a buttered and grilled kaiser bun!
Verdict? Umm?!
… GUILTY!!
inspired by my PC® brand buns (check out the poppy seeds, extra long too) purchased today… love these bad boys! already had the all beef jumbo franks in the fridge… was a perfect marriage. roughly chopped sweet onion, sliced tomatoes, hot peppers, mustard… and, the secret ingredient (drum roll, please)… cheez whiz!! perfect for a hotter than hell july day, after a long day of work… and, after a 5k run… danistrulythemotherfuckingman!!
Had time today, so drove down to say ‘hi’ to the old gang. Side note; nothing/nobody has changed… kinda depressing. Anyway, was fun seeing everyone, visiting… then suddenly Florentino appears, and first thing he says to me, “go get some food”, lol! AND, I never went overboard taking advantage of his generosity. Is a perfect amount, thanks my friend!
