Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
By Artemicion 2012-07-22 01:58:48
On the bright side, my pallet has been growing as of late. More and more rum and I am starting to be able to tell subtle differences between them all.
My current fix right now is Cruzan Black Strap, but Gosling's Black Seal is a close contender.
I envy that. I can only imagine how much more amazing the foods I already like would be with a more subtle and acute sense of taste. Sadly, food for the most part is just food, so eating has become more of a simple task, than one conducive to appreciating the symphony of flavors that accompany great food.

I have always loved food. I grew up with a mother/grandmother/great grandmother who all knew how to cook.
Southern cooking is a world all of its own.
Edit: Have decided on chicken fried steak and scalloped potatoes for dinner on Sunday now... om nom noms. Would make mashed potatoes, but no real potatoes and only boxed, they are still good though.

I on the other hand envy you. If I didn't care how things taste, I'd just eat whatever is healthy and never have to worry about craving certain foods. But I suppose I'd miss it after a while. There's nothing better on a summer's day than a brat with a beer.

Yeah, I mean I can appreciate good food of course, but I think with a more keen sense of taste I would actually sit down, and take my sweet time, chewing and enjoying each and every bite and even analyzing the flavors of each ingredient therein.

Thinking of making pulled pork sandwiches sometime next weekend.
Would slow cook it with a combination of things like Worcestershire, brown sugar, etc. and top it off with a home made coleslaw on some sweet hawaiian buns.

I have taught my wife a finer appreciation of food. She used to eat some god awful things and not even know how bad they are. Example being she used to love ramen noodles, made some today and said it just isn't the same lol.

What type of pork are you planning to use?

After having a bowl of home made saimin, I will never ever buy another packet of store ramen ever again.

Haven't decided. Any recommendations?
Read: Chopped bacon is a must add-on. However, that would likely overpower the point of having pulled pork being the medium of the dish. Perhaps, pulled beef or chicken would be an acceptable substitute?

Ham or shanks are always good.
Plop either in a crock pot, some water, small onion, couple of cloves of garlic, maybe a chopped carrot or two if you like that, salt/pepper of course, and some uncooked bacon. Let it cook for 4~6 hours. Shred it, add your favorite BBQ sauce and let the noms commence.

If you're up for cooking a brisket that is always good, and chicken is super easy.

<.< I don't think eating a bit everything is bad. By that I mean from the "finer" foods to things like ramen.

RumpBostom Butt works well too, that's what is traditionally used for pulled pork... should probably mention that lol.
Can also do it with ribs/roast meat... but I prefer my ribs as ribs.
<.<; Just looked it up... Boston Butt is actually from the shoulder not from the rump, did not know that.

God I want ham now... think I might cook the peppered ham in the freezer instead of chicken fried steak tonight.

My mom always asks me what I want to eat then proceeds to turn down my request and do whatever she already had planned to do. Well then, why the hell do you even ask me if I have no choice?
"What would you like for dinner?"
"Eggs."
"I'll make you fish."

Did I go to bed like I should have? Of course not. I played Theatrhythm until my battery died. Guess I'll casually level up on FFXI while it charges >.>

How about scrambled eggs in a boat, made of bacon, nested on top of some toast?

If you want me to die...I could eat a bite of that at best before feeling full.

You should write a short book of musings Seha, they make for aMUSING reading.

See Spence!! TERRIBAD JOKES ARE TERRIBAD.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
