Welp, now it's time for coffee and ESO.

I'd like to try those in my soda!

Yup. Iced coffee here and with a magnificent desert morning thunderstorm in progress - spectacular!

Just had some tea and chicken wings.

Mongolian Shrimp!

Darn Mongolians.

Khajiit really shouldn't... but... lol

I don't want to say that looks good, but ... do love shrimp and broccoli. Just not sure what the brown liquid tastes like.

Brown liquid is made up of chicken stock, seasame oil, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, and some cornstarch as a thickening agent. Also, Khajiit served it over jasmine rice, so the final product really wasn't as soupy as it looks.

Still not sure, is that sweet but still spicy hot like Szechuan?.

... Of course, I could always pull the shrimp and broccoli out and eat it, lol.

Yeah it's kind of sweet and spicy. Slightly garlicky. Hoisin sauce adds a very faint cinnamon taste too.

I'd be for pulling it out of the stock and possibly browning it to glaze the soup's taste onto it (without having to actually eat the soup)

Oh no, don't misunderstand, the sauce just coats the veggies, meat, and rice so you aren't getting mouth fulls of the sauce.

WHEW !!!!

I just had a bowl of Mac and Cheese, here's a little tip if you want to make mac and cheese a little tangy just add a small dab of mustard, trust me it makes it great .

Had my rice/tuna/veggies combo with a blend of Hazelnut Raspberry Dressing, melted butter substitute and artificial sweetener as topping for the first time since abandoning frozen mixed veggies for fresh raw veggies. (Well, other than Broccoli, where the frozen variety is too much less expensive than fresh to be ignored.) Was worried raw veggies wouldn't taste good in that mix. Turns out they aren't half bad. Not a chef's delight by any means but hey, it's a reasonably healthy meal and falls within my too meager food budget.

Today's lunch was not so healthy. Didn't feel like heating up soup so made a Wowbutter sammich on 100% whole grain wheat.

Half an apple as dessert for both meals as usual.

Fried chicken and tea.

Just had some very spicy Thai food. Chicken was the main thing plus some jasmine rise and -of course- spicy addons.



Spicy!

Khajiit loves Thai food! Really big fan of Pad Thai, in particular.

And yes, it must be spicy!

This was a bit too spicy for me though

Yeah? Did it make your face sweat a little?

Khajiit had shrimp boil tonight!

Yum, looks and sounds good!

Oh it was A! It was!

That looks tasty.

This one just had a bacon sandwich.

Uh ... your shrimp boil looks more like a hot dog boil today! Maybe it was a "Cinderella" boil?

So ... this hot dog boil reminded me of one of these two Oblivion foods, you be the judge:

Either way, I'm ready to enjoy it with you!

Lol, I assure you, there were plenty of shrimp in that pot!

I know, I saw the original image you posted! Your shrimp has been taken over by hot dogs!


Edit: Er, oops! I was thinking about the Mongolian shrimp image you posted the other day, oops! Sorry about that.


Either way, it does look good!

After you mention the Mongolian Shrimp, it occurs to Khajiit that he had shrimp a lot this week!

That is what threw me, I thought it was the same post but the picture looked different, lol.

Slobbish Khajiit just got off work and is munching chicharrones and drinking Tecate... at 3:28pm local time. To be fair, these chicharrones are the first thing this one has eaten since he got up at 5:00am this morning. Morning coffee kills Khajiit's appetite.

Ramen Noodles with chopped up hamburger chunks and sausage...in other words a poor man's meal .

Khajiit likes ramen and hamburger meat! It's quick, easy, and inexpensive!

Went to the store and got some corn dogs.

Last supper in case you didn't catch the jest.

Had my rice/tuna/veggies/cheese with a blend of Prego Garlic & Sausage, a bit a horseradish sauce and a few drops of Frank's RedHot Sauce for topping combo yesterday. Of the various veggie/lettuce and veggie/rice based supper combos that are pretty much all I eat evenings, it is the least suited to the raw fresh veggies I now use in place of the thawed frozen variety I ate for years. Didn't help that I made too much topping. Nor did it help the the hard boiled egg I intended to eat on the side wasn't very good. I ended up crumbling it into the main entree, where its taste was buried by topping. At least the Fuji Apple half I had for dessert was yummy.

Not a disastrous supper, but not the best. Less topping might have improved things. But if you know me you know I'm disinclined to waste money by throwing out excess. (It made no sense to store a couple of spoonfuls of topping that might not be needed for weeks.)

It did, though not nearly as heavy as when I had that spicy pizza a year back; I was sweatting bullets! Which was funny because I had just bought a new gun...

Saw these at Walmart and thought I'd try them and well...they're not bad if you like pickles.

What is it? Frozen pickle juice?

I make Ramen Noodles with cooked mixed veggies added and poach an egg (per person eating) in it while cooking (after the chicken flavoring is in so the egg absorbs the seasoning too; and with a dash of hot sauce). (and depending on the veggies, parmesan cheese sprinkled over it). Really filling meal!

Pretty much. Pickle juice is pretty good at dealing with leg cramps and clearing out the kidneys.

Just finished a bowl of Mac and Cheese and drank some bottle water.

So I looked up Comfort Food and there was a picture of mac and cheese.

This is my new comfort food from Carl's Jr. The BBQ Baby Back Ribs burger. Just saying its name takes away 10 years of your life....but its so worth it .

Lol, that thing looks so good! Khajiit doesn't dare get one though!

It was good but nothing comes between me and my Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger mmmmmmm.

One time they had something called a "Moonshine" burger. Man that thing was tasty!

Mmmm, I could go for a good burger. Been many moons since I had an awesome one!

Believe it or not, I've not eaten a burger of any sort since ... since ... since 2009 if memory serves. They are not strictly verboten to me. I "could" consume them during my rare spurge meals. But...at those times I tend to confine myself to my local Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant of choice. Speaking of which, I ate there this Monday. Good as usual, and my best chopsticks usages in some time. Nary a drop. I overfilled my plate (and belly) shamelessly and eat every last bite.

(On the subject of chopsticks, I have never once noticed anyone other than me use them there, other than several of their workers on break some years ago.)

Sheesh, it's been even longer since I went to a Chinese buffet! There aren't many around me, and the missus doesn't like that one that's the closest drive.
