The only reason I've never made Gumbo, is because it's got a rue base, and I'm not good with those...so I do Jambalaya. Now you ladle that over white rice, or do you do a stew type thing with crispy french bread?

For gumbo, skip roux and use okra to thicken, you won't be disappointed. I usually do a huge scoop of white rice with the gumbo ladled over the top then sprinkled with red beans, but I skipped the rice and the beans because I'm currently reducing carbs. Gumbo and Jambalaya are tied for my 2nd favorite Cajun dish, crawfish ettouffee will always be my favorite.
 
Hawaiian pizza - the kind with pineapple and ham. That's because .. what I *really* wanted was a 3-tender, 6 bone-in wing deal, with waffle fries and a soda pop - but the Wings Over! franchise didn't pick up the phone?? On NFL Kickoff Sunday?! :confused:

Ah, Hawaiian pizza. Canada's contribution to the pizza industry.

As a Sicilian, I shake my head in disbelief every time I hear this.
 
I knew tvsrip was gonna catch crap over putting pineapple on a pizza. I like Hawaiian Pizza too.

Tonight, I had some Rotisserie Chicken. I also had Caesar Salad. I did something crazy and put them together combining them. It's good. Try it if you haven't yet.

One of my favorite tacos is al pastor, for those not in the know al pastor is marinated pork, fire roasted with pineapple and served in thin strips with onion & cilantro. I've always figured if pineapple is bueno for tacos fuck it pineapple can rule some pizza, too. I understand the aversion to putting it on there, tho, kinda like beans in chili. 🚫

I will then safely assume that the fact I use beans in my chili, thoroughly disgusts you. I also see your point.

Nope, I've gotten to the point that I'm indifferent about beans in chili. Don't get me wrong, I don't put them in chili, but what other people do with theirs is ok with me.

Well, you know how us Northerners are. everything has to be more complicated then it needs to be.

More complicated and full of fat and calories than necessary. During my youth, plenty of Western PA moms had a German potato salad with the bacon grease added back in. It makes my arteries clog thinking about it now, but the taste was to die for.

I remember my mom having a jar of bacon grease on the stove, for cooking in. Making burgers, cast iron pan, get it hot, toss in a glob of bacon grease instead of butter, man, nothing better. I suspect a lot of the older generation did that.

I like frying a cheese sandwich in bacon grease. Noms.

You'll enjoy this. I got into a heated debate with my wife about this. is there a difference between a grilled cheese, sandwich, and a grilled, cheese sandwich? I think there is a great difference, what about you?

Sounds intriguing. I would guess the difference is in where you put the cheese, and that's a big difference. Your wife is like people in Texas, and maybe other places, calling any soft drink a "coke", using grilled cheese as an umbrella term for any cooked cheese sandwich. You and I though we prefer the subtleties of distinctions. My mom used to make "grilled" ham and cheese sandwiches under the broiler in the oven, such a simple dish, yet so good. By the end of the discussion did your wife understand the difference?

Yes she did. But she is very PC, a social worker, so blanket terms seem to annoy her. The point I was trying to make to her, was, a grilled cheese, sandwich, means you grill the cheese, and slide the gooey mess on toast, or bread. A grilled, cheese sandwich is what most of use eat. A cheese sandwich with butter on the outside of the bread, grilled in a pan, as a single unit. My main reason for doing this to her, was simply a way to mess with her, that was basically harmless, but fun. It is true though, that's the only difference. At least that's what I took away from an episode of "Good Eats", with Alton Brown.
 
Last night we went to a Moroccan Restaurant in Beverly Hills named Tangine. Great Lamb and Couscous along with Appetizer Platter and a Bottle of Wine. We go there a couple times a year. A little pricey but worth it.
 
I found a ninja air fryer for 50% off, and I'm just getting started playing around with what it can do. 3 min preheat, and much faster cook times than a pan or oven.

Frozen Burgers tonight, and I got advice here that wings work well too. I'm totally new to this, so if anyone uses an air fryer and has tips and/or recommendations, please send them this way 🍔🍟🍗
