That is a good idea though foreign to me in concept. Rice. Not a day passes where I don't have some.

What do you mean no left overs?? Cook some extra and send them to me for the love of mercy. Take pity on my bachelor lifestyle (which totally sucks btw) lol. Totally not cut out for this.

What are you putting in your salsa? One little place over here makes those killer fish tacos that I always raved about on Facebook. I need to get my azz over there and get some.

Ok people the Butch's are weighing in on what they are cooking.

Who else is cooking?

If you are not cooking, then tell us what you are eating today.

well, it's almost 6am Thursday, but for dinner last night we had a Cantonese variation of a Teo Chew dish - fish head soup. It has evaporated milk in it as well as ginger, slices of tomatoes, etc.



Here's a link to the different types of Chinese noodles and a brief description of the dish: http://www.kualalumpur-localguide.co...e-noodles.html (look for fish head noodle).

Apparently this is a Malaysian dish. There are quite a few Malaysian Chinese dishes. The owner of the restaurant was complaining that mainland Chinese food, except for Szechuan, is quite plain.

Fascinating thank you.

Is Malaysian food spicy or hot?

It depends on what you want - you can have quite simple things like fishball noodle soup that have clear simple broth or you can have something quite fiery. Plenty of curry, plenty of chilli based dishes. I have colleagues who complain about the spiciness of the food here. You can also have sour type dishes as well.

I'm marinating some chicken breast in a garlic/lime juice/ginger/olive oil/and a splash of orange juice with some cumin and crushed red pepper flakes to grill before we get rain, for salads or tacos. Also making a pot of vegetable soup with onion, cabbage, carrots, stewed tomatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, fresh parsley, and dill, some frozen green beans and some salt and pepper. Simmered low for a few hours.

This is chicken day in the delicious thread! I recall that I first started using orange and lime juice as a marinade when I spent a winter in Key West. South Florida has some flavor going on! Love that combination. Have you ever used Pineapple juice to marinate?

I have! I play around with my own marinade of orange juice, pineapple juice, a dash of soy sauce, and orange marmalade. Actually, just Italian salad dressing works .

Sometimes I make arroz amarillo with chicken. Here is a simple recipe:

Arroz amarillo con achiote

You know I haven't used pineapple juice but I will have to try it. I also make a marinade with all of the above plus a splash of white wine vinegar and soy sauce for pork loin chops on the grill they come out so tender and juicy.
