Bacon Cheeseburger Hamberger Helper and a tall, cold glass of whole milk. I'll have a Star Crunch for desert.
 
Just finished off a large bowl of chocolate ice cream. GOOD chocolate ice cream, not that cheap skim milk crap. :D

Oh, and I'm halfway thru a pack of Corona. :cool:

Hamberger Helper....it's like theres a party in my mouth and no one is having fun!

The stuff will keep one alive, though...so it's not all bad....
 
Hmmmm, broke food.

Grilled Spam and mac and Cheese. (Thank god I just got my security check from the last place I lived, not to mention the check for the supplies for the fences. I'll be eating good tomorrow.)

Mich Light.

There is veggie lasagna in the stove, but I just keep swerving toward the fridge.

Someone stop me! Thank god there isn't a chat or a train wreck would ensue….

My brother and I flipped a coin for the last can of sketti-o's, He won. So I am eating...american cheese slices and coffee.
 
coffee and a chocolate chip cookie-dough poptart. They're horribly sweet. :D
 
Sourdough bread, feta cheese, tomatoes and olives.

*shrug*

It's all I've got in the house that seemed appropriate after a couple of vodka tonics. Or three.
 
Had some no-bake cookies.....

Doing water tonight. Too tired for drinking...
 
I'm going to a crawfish feast in half an hour, but they warned us that there won't be much crawfish, so I'm having some hotdogs with ketchup first to get sated. Oh, and a soft drink. "Portello".
 
The Katrina disaster sent me running to the grocery and I started buying everything in sight: ham, grapes, giardinara, bread, chicken thighs, pasta, milk, pudding, Ementhaler swiss, wine, plums, jalapeno's... An orgy of consumerism.

Came home and made chopped liver and Posole. I'll skip the liver details (it's a Yiddish thing), but Posole is a Mexican stew made with pork and chicken and hominy and a whole head of garlic. I wanted to get all these pots simmering on the stove as a kind of counter-spell to Katrina.

You cook the pork and chicken and garlic for about 4 hours, till everything falls apart, then add a couple of big cans of hominy, salt and black pepper and oregano. You serve the stuff in bowls with fresh chopped cilantro and onion and radish and jalapenos and lime, and it should be hot enough so that you sweat while you eat it. You sop it up with fresh corn tortillas.

I ate way to much. I dedicated it to the evacuees.

I love how descriptive you always are -can I ask a silly foreigner question? What's Hominy? it sounds homly :)

Edited to add:

I just had cornedbeef Hash Hubby style (big pot o' mash with cornbeef mashed into it) with some roasted parsnips, green pepper and fennel that i got on offer yesterday and needed eating. :)
 
The kids are eating pizza (Little Caesars), but I opted for take-out Chinese (Mongolian beef). The guinea pig is eating lettuce and the baby opossum, Kitten Chow. The sea horses are having brine shrimp.

Gourmet night at the Imp-stead.

MMmmmmm Cornedbeef Hash. I hate buying the stuff pre-made in stores around here, it always looks dangerously close to catfood.

That just sounds damn good, too.

I feel lucky as hell that the best Chinese place I've ever been is in the town I'll be moving to in like 10 weeks or so.

Hominy is an American Indian invention. It's dried corn that's usually soaked in lime water to make it swell and get mushy. They're big white kernals with the texture of cooked beans and a very bland, slightly corn-y taste. In Mexico it's known as posole, hence the name of the soup.

When I say corn, I mean Indian corn or maize. I think "corn" means something else in the UK, doesn't it?

If the hominy isn't soaked but just ground up instead, then you have hominy grits, or just grits. You boil these and get a very bland kind of starch that some people love but which I find pretty tasteless. The fancy Italian version is polenta.

Grits and eggs is a common breakfast combination in the South.

Corn is kind of a generic name for grain across the pond.
 
Reheated Bacon Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper and a Mountain Dew.

The breakfast of underachievers everywhere!
