Tonight - final night of the 3-meal subscription from One Off Hospitality. This week is something we could have easily made at home, but we've enjoyed picking these up on Wednesdays.

Menu from Big Star:
  • Caesar Cardini Salad romaine lettuce, cotija-lemon dressing, radish, pickled red onion, garlic croutons
  • Nacho Kit tortilla chips, nacho cheese sauce, black beans, pickled jalapenos, salsa seca, pico de gallo
  • Pollo & Chorizo de Res Tacos, pollo & chorizo de res, with queso fresco, white onions, pickled red onion, cilantro
  • tres leches cake

Really interesting video Also now I know why sometimes the crab is too salty (but removing the congealed white protein helps)

But that's not how it works. Why don't you watch this video:

It is interesting...but I can see how a rogue leg might try to escape and jump off the table and on to Costco packaging.

if you can't tell the difference in appearance between a cooked crab leg and a raw one & think you might eat it raw by mistake then you need your eyes and imagination checked. It is very much like a cooked vs a raw lobster. Fortunately the rest of the world can tell and there is zero way that a raw crab leg is going to go unnoticed and on to the shelf.
No, my family had cheeseburgers. I had planned to have crab legs leftovers but changed to making Detroit style pizza.

I love caesar but am torn about Caesar salad with tacos. I prefer guacamole :-)

Yes - and when it happens to me, you can all laugh at my macro decision to never heat or cook these Costco king crab legs!

From our local Mexican market:

Pre-seasoned chicken, poblano peppers, and spring onions cooked on the grill, with corn tortillas, avocado, and homemade pico and salsa verde.

Why was the 🐔 pre-seasoned, as opposed to just seasoned when you bought it?

I like both quite a bit. But to be fair, the Caesar is a uniquely Mexican salad at least. The dressing that came with it was a very nice version, wish I knew the recipe. Nachos were good but not spicy enough for us. We both preferred the chorizo tacos over the chicken. My wife said the tres leches cake was not that great. I'll render my opinion tonight as I was too full last night .

We have some shredded chicken from earlier in the week to use tonight, so most likely some type of buffalo chicken dish - salad, wrap, etc. It will be a game time decision since it should only take 15-20 mins to throw together.

Last night was canadian bacon pizza and a green salad. Currently have chicken in the crock pot which will become chicken chili for tonight's dinner.

I know there is at least one poster who is eating less meat (or living with someone who does) for just over a month. Thought I’d include a few of my own meals that can be adapted.

Got my Thursday delivery of organic vegetables (plus milk, cream and eggs) and included were a batch of Jerusalem Artichokes (AKA sunchokes) which are a seasonal treat for us. For lunch I decided to make a dish I learned from a long-standing member of the Japan Forum. First I cooked some chopped onion in three kinds of vegetable oil (sunflower, rapeseed/canola & olive) then added thinly sliced Jerusalem artichoke. Next came sliced mushrooms, thinly sliced radish/daikon, sliced lotus root, shredded carrot and lots of cabbage and then a hot stock made with two kinds of miso, a spoon or so of sake, a little Mirin, soy sauce and dashi concentrate. Also added were a couple of peeled fresh tomatoes. All simmered for about 15 minutes. My kid had a small bowl with some toasted rice (yaki onigiri), I had a bigger bowl without the rice.

It’s a good way to start eating Jerusalem Artichoke as, by thinly slicing them, you get to enjoy all the taste without eating too much of them. They have a lovely sweetness but the upside to this (sweetness is from a carb - inulin - that doesn’t get digested) is also the downside (the undigested ‘carb’ is a feast for bacteria that give you flatulence).
Go easy, particularly if it’s your first time or you haven’t eaten them for a while. I find they make a great substitute for Japanese dishes that call for gobo/burdock root. Since my kid isn’t at school this week (neither physically or online) it’s the ideal time to reintroduce them to her.

I'm curious too.

Hamburger steak or salisbury steak perhaps?

Spinach salad with warm bacon dressing?
