I had a craving so I ordered a bunch of Chinese from the authentic place. This will double as dinner:

Shredded pork tripe with chili pepper
Sauteed pork and squid with tried turnip and garlic
Sauteed lamb with pickle peppers
Mala spicy pot (Fatty beef, beef tendon, beef tripe, beef stomach, lamb)

Pancakes (I usually wake up at around noon so breakfast is lunch on weekends) with cheap pancake syrup (I grew up on this stuff, so no maple for me).
 
Feeling more than a little under the weather and am not getting much work done. So, I'll probably end up cooking. (I'm the last one in the household to get this cold, so no spreading concern).

I've got this shortrib and oxtail recipe, in a hearty tomato-garlic type sauce. Going to add cubed pork belly to it. I work off this basic recipe:



Recipe.png

Add a bunch of things, and cook longer at lower temp. Say, 2.5-3h at 280. Oxtail takes longer to get nice and soft. Short ribs don't suffer for the extra time.

- total of 2.5 lb oxtail/2.5 lb short rib
- a head or two of garlic, fine-chopped
- A whole chopped onion
- A bunch of chopped mushrooms (if I have them, I grill portabellas and the onion before chopping it up and putting in).
- Spanish smoked paprika, sweet hungarian paprika, dark chili powder (ie, ancho or similar type), lemongrass, coriander, chili flakes/cayenne (I'd use habenero or ghost chili but it's a bit much for the wife), bay leaves, fresh-ground black pepper, whatever else strikes my fancy.
- Read boat salt (fish sauce salt, basically) instead of normal.
- 2-3 tbs whole grain mustard
- I do not drain off the fat.
- The oz can is of tomato paste, not sauce. Paste is much richer. Use more like 2 cans since I expand the recipe.
- Vinegar is sherry vinegar.

turkey and Swiss sandwich
garlic parmesan chips.
 
I'd forgotten about these.

I'd mixed hot italian sausage with ground beef, about 50/50, and froze up some burgers. I had a bit of each left over from other things. I wouldn't do it.

I just had a bacon cheeseburger with it, and the combination of sausage and bacon was a bit much. A bit too salty-fatty......that taste.



Lamb/beef burgers are awesome, on the other hand.
 
Turkey sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and light mayo
Baked Lays.
 
Short rib/oxtail/pork belly leftovers.
 
Beef tripe in a sort of spicy tomato-garlic sauce.

Going to have to have something else later. Not enough food.
 
lean pocket cheesesteak with the spiciest horseradish sauce i could find around here
soft pretzel with more of the sauce.

i've been on a horseradish kick again lately.
 
Leftover roast chicken (about a breast and other meat picked off the carcass - I pick them clean after a chicken dinner and freeze them, later making broth from multiple carcasses) and a pile of mixed veggies.
 
Chocolate pudding

Powdered milk, corn starch, stevia sweetner and cocoa powder.
