yummy deep fried

Doesn't this look tasty?



Yah, IT FUCKING DOES.

It's a cheesesteak egg roll! Talk about your food corn porn!

(PS - Apparently today is my "FUCK" day. I apologize to the kids.)

You wanted to know what I had for dinner, yes?

salad! with Keyser Söze Caesar dressing!

dinner

Last night I had the following:

• Harpoon's UFO raspberry hefeweizen*
  
• Pepperidge Farm roasted garlic bread with an arrabiata dipping sauce
  
• MorningStar Farms veggie corn dogs with yellow mustard
  
• Generic brand potato skins, straight up

It's one of the tastiest dinners I've had in a long time. And I love to eat.

Yes, I ate that entire plate of food. I don't know if that's a lot, but I was super full after for sure. :)


*I'm a simple girl and I will generally choose a cheap JW Dundee's honey brown for a flavored beer, but the grocery store only sells it in 12-packs and I just wanted a 6-pack. Cost-wise this is a dumb choice, but fridge space-wise it's a smart choice. :)

pan-fried steak

Have I ever mentioned I love steak? I have? I have. I love steak! And now I love pan-fried steak, thanks to Melting Wok who has shared her recipe for a fantastically crispified hunk of moo.

Pan-fried Rib Eye Steak With Mushrooms And Onions

Ingredients :
1 piece 1/2 inch thick, rib eye steak ( approximately 14 oz )
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce ( preferably Lea & Perrin )
4 tbsp olive oil
7 oz button mushroom, sliced
1/2 a yellow onion, cut into rings

Method :
1) Rub both sides of the steak with salt first. Then with black pepper, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, worcestershire sauce, and lastly olive oil.
2) Refrigerate for an hour or preferably overnight.
3) Remove steak from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking.
4) Heat pan until really hot. Saute onions until slightly fragrant in 1 tbsp olive oil. Add mushroom and continue stir-frying for 1 minute. Dish up and set aside.
5) Pan-fry steaks in 2 tbsp olive oil using the above cooking tips.

I am choosing to ignore the fact that there are mushrooms in this recipe. Anybody want mine?

Knit me a cupcake!

I know I say this frequently, but you should see my eyes right now. Very wide. For all my knitting girls I present to you the newest food porn: The knitting cupcake.

Do you love it?! I love it!!!!!

We blame this on VeganYumYum but we thank Slashfood for the heads up.

And by we I mean the royal we. I have not shared my blog authoring with anyone else. Except sometimes Georgie by mistake.

This could be considered a fetish. Technically.

Dear Bravo,

I want you to keep producing new episode after new episode of Top Chef so that I am never left without a new one to watch. I offer nothing in return. Thank you.

Kisses,

PS - I wanna dry hump Tom and Padma. But, really just their eyes. And that's probably gross. Is that gross? Yah... Although, not grosser than some of the food on that show.

Hai, I can has!

Would you like to eat a beer-battered bacon double cheeseburger?



Yah, me too. Although, I'd make mine with a Whopper (or, better yet, a fresh burger) instead. And now I can because I have the recipe! Thanks to Accidental Hedonist for sharing the artery clogging wealth.

Putting on a little show

I imagine it's super distracting to the people driving their cars when a hot redhead stands in the rain waiting for the crosswalk signal to say "go, girl" and eats chocolate creme pie as if it were the best thing she has ever tasted then when the crosswalk signals in her favor she slowly licks the creme off the fork then saunters across the street with a satisfied smile on her face. ...? Yup. Good pie, good pie.
