Spaghetti!!! It's what's for breakfast, lunch, and deeenar!!!

Actually not really, I actually ate spaghetti three days in a row...and then on the fourth day? I cooked two more days of spaghetti!!!

5 DAYS IN A ROW OF SPAGHETTI!!!!! YES!!!

[enderzero]

Made the old Japanese yam curry special for Emily's bday last Weds plus a surprise bday cake. Since we didn't have baking powder I used baking soda+lemon juice which worked out pretty well.

[McNevin]

Spaghetti is the one thing I could eat for 5 days in a row too!

Go Enderzero! Pulling off baking substitution hacks!

Speaking of hacks, that's 1.5 cups of rice in 4 quarts of water! Rice cooked like, well... spaghetti! Best rice I've ever made!

[Bill Drayton Jr.]

More spizzghettiz with fresh basilz....

[McNevin]

Now I want spaghetti! That basil really makes it look appetizing!

As for the rice, here is that hack I was talking about: https://www.kitchenkonfidence.com/2015/ ... like-pasta

Bacon and eggs and green stuff???

That's not how you eat bacon and eggs and green stuff! Here it is done up l2icks0r! style!!!

Bacon garnished with sour cream and cayenne pepper, eggs garnished with green onions and serrano chili peppers and peppered with pepper and cayenne pepper!!

[enderzero]

@Spidermonkey - those wild nettles or farmed nettles?

[spidermonkey]

Farmed wild nettles. Collected from the wilds of Carnation a few years ago and grown here since then.

Stinging breakfast!

[enderzero]

Dangerous work.

[Bill Drayton Jr.]

Brazilian Fried Rice!!!


1lb ground beef seasoned with spicy McCormick Brazilian Steakhouse seasoning, some mushrooms, and basmati rice.

[McNevin]

Farmed Nettles... that's next level right there!
Does cooking neutralize the toxins?

All this food looks amazing !

Four egg quad pepper omelette filled with baby red bell pepper, baby orange bell pepper, serrano chili pepper, habanero pepper, hot breakfast sausage, and mushrooms. Topped with alternating strips of sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Garnished with avacado slices, dollops of sour cream, and dusted with cayenne pepper!!!

[enderzero]

Wow that there's a breakfast.

[McNevin]

Every pictorial post in this thread makes my salival guns go pew pew pew!

[Bill Drayton Jr.]

Striped omelette! Basically the same as the other one but without avocado and sour cream but now you can see the cheese.

[enderzero]

Is it weird that it feels like those omelettes are upside down when I look at them?

Spanakopita (with prosaic spinach since I done used up all of the nettles.)

[Bill Drayton Jr.]

Dual Fettuccini Alfredo with brocolli and panko breaded chicken tendars!!! One plate for tonight and one plate for tomorrow!!!

[McNevin]

Broccoli really goes well with Alfredo ! Especially aldente broccoli!

[Bill Drayton Jr.]

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo of DEATH!!! I actually died 2.5 times whilst eating this monstrously caloric dish. You really can't tell from the picture but I doubled the amount of heavy cream and cheese I used. I made two plates and they were each 3,375 calories!!! The heavy cream alone was 3,200 calories and also used egg noodles which may have had a little more than normal fettuccine pasta because there was limited choice due to the damn virus and the peoples going nuts on buying everything up.
