    Thai street food night.




    Pork loin cutlets and chicken tenderloins?
    Moo Ping (marinated pork) and chicken satay- grilled on the BBQ.
    Few different dipping sauces, pickled cucumber, Asian salad and rice.
    Dude, Scotland/Ireland is my next trip to Europe and it has always been to see some cool castles, landscapes, drink some stouts and drink tons of whiskey, eat some fucking haggis and blood sausage, perhaps a couple rounds of golf mixed in, but I think some grub at your place may be added to the itinerary lol

    When you eventually make the trip, let me know.

    Well done, sir!
    I don't think I would like my salmon in a pastry crust like that, but there's no question that you nailed it!

    Leftover bits from the freezer and into the crock-pot day AKA Taco Soup. 

    I had leftover cilantro lime shredded chicken, half of a can of crushed tomatoes, frozen corn, dry mixed beans, brown rice and sweet red pepper strips thrown in along with a pack of taco seasoning. Jump started the crock-pot with a lil boiling water to help the beans and rice along and to help the crock-pot get to high faster. All of the different components came from the freezer except for the taco seasoning. 

    It may sound like a hot mess, but I have made something similar before (with ground meat and not shredded chicken) and it was tasty.

    Sounds good!
    My large order of meats aborted.
    Oh well.  Try again!

    They took the order.  Gave me a delivery date a week out, which was yesterday.
    Shopped yesterday, updated all of the weights/charges but never showed up 
    I reached out q bunch of times and when I have them a deadline this morning to respond or I would report the charge as fraudulent and refuse any attempt at delivery a day late they emailed and told me the courier cancelled.
    (After buying the meats/cheeses and updating the weights to reflect what they picked?)
    Very fishy 
    Had fun sending them a pretty nasty email.  
    Oh well, I guess there is a certain amount of this to be expected.  If they don't clear the charge today I will report it so the only thing lost was the anticipation of those steaks and some great cheeses/other meats.

    Will find another spot to order from.

    Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. It doesn't make sense that's how things worked out in the end since the list was shopped and the total seemingly finalized. :i_dunno:

    Yes, it is fishy.  I suspect the shopper may have made off with the order.

    It gets better....someone just dropped a bag on our porch and pretty much ran away.

    Sure enough, it is the stuff from the market.

    I told my wife there is no way I am taking that shit in and eating it.  Who knows where it has been....I suspect the person only delivered because the company called them....which meant that likely the company lied to me about the courier cancelling....nfw.

    She calls the company, who tried a few different stories and then agreed that it was messed up and that they have no way of knowing where the food has been for the last day or if it was properly refrigerated.
    They won't send anyone to pick it up.

    Wife called a person she donates to on occasion who provides food to different groups in Camden and she was happy to get the call.  Said he will come and grab it, open and clean/smell everything....and freeze it for use during her next cook.  
    Hopefully nothing fishy happened to the food.

    F that company.  What a pain in the ass.  I hate that I don't feel I can trust people but there was nothing that made me feel good about even touching that food....that service is dogshit.

    What a crazy story. I agree with you. I wouldn’t eat it either. I have been hearing more and more stories about the delivery shoppers taking things from people’s orders or adding their own stuff to it. It’s a tough situation. I know that they don’t have the best job right now, and they are taking risks, but delivering a whole order of meat and perishables a day late from who know where is completely unacceptable.

    Fatty is in the smoker, it's going to be delicious.  I don't know when I will be able to post pictures, probably not until the next time I leave the house and go somewhere with a real internet connection.

    Yeah it is a shame to not be able to trust people.  Oh well.  Woman picked it up and seems fine with it so I'm glad it won't go to waste if it doesn't smell odd or anything when she inspects.

    Okay. Dinner time here in Ireland. It's a surprisingly warm, sunny day, so went down to my fishmonger. Grilled John Dory, steamed mussels and grilled garlic bread. And a nice bottle of Marlborough.

    Been making a lot of smoothies since staying at home. 



    ^^^ (orange juice, Greek yogurt, pineapple, banana, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

    Edit: Ooh, and it looks like the wife baked some cookies!

    Now that's my kind of cookie.

    I should do the smoothies too.  No reason not to.  Tasty AND healthy.

    Those cookies look amazing. I am going to try to make homemade ice cream this week with my ice cream maker. That would go so good with those cookies.

    We’re getting so much fresh produce. It would likely rot if I didn’t make smoothies as often as I do. And yes, it’s a delicious way to make sure that we’re all getting our vitamins.
