This evening I prepared Nasi Goreng, which is a spicy Indonesian fried rice dish, with lots of veggies, eggs, pork or chicken meat. I normally serve it with some slices of ham on top  and add sateh and pickles as side dish. I really love Indonesian food, but unfortunately it is very difficult to find a good Indonesian restaurant outside Indonesia and the Netherlands. My favorite dish is the ricetable (in Dutch rijsttafel) which consists of rice accompanied by between twelve and thirty, often spicy, side dishes served in small portions. Popular side dishes include egg rolls, sambals, satay, fish, fruit, vegetables, pickles, and nuts. Never prepared it myself because it takes many hours of preparation and cooking.

I made a hickory smoked Texas style brisket, homemade barbecue sauce, a risotto with heavy cream and sauteed sweet corn and leeks, and a Greek vegetable salad with calamata olives, feta cheese, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and red onion in a simple vinaigrette.

Just had the leftovers for lunch. Not that there was that much left, so it was more of a snack than a lunch.
Life in Lubbock, Texas taught me two things. One is that God loves
you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the
most awful, dirty thing on the face of the earth and you should save
it for someone you love.

Brisket is so good when it's done right--and so freaking awful when it's done poorly (and turns into something akin to beef-flavored sawdust).  I'm not sure enough of myself to smoke brisket, so I stick to Boston Butt.

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

I was thinking the other day that I wanted to start a food thread, but thought that there must already be one started somewhere.

Thanks for reading my mind  ;D
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Well, it was just me last night so, I made myself some potato soup with chunks of flour and egg mixture that are kind of like noodles in it. It turned out really good. Great snowy weather food  :)

Noodles!  Excellent - we'll convert you to Pastafarianism yet!

Potato soup is good stuff; Mrs Git makes it with leeks in.  Then you can chop up one of those horseshoe-shaped sausages and chuck that in, too.

May I be touched by his noodley appendage  :D

I tend to like my soup very thick, but very plain. I like just the potatoes, noodles, milk and other various seasonings.
Now I'm hungry.
