    Made fajitas tonight. Restaurant quality, if I do say so myself. :wink:


    What type of spices?
    I’m not sure. I cut up the beef, my wife coated it in something, it sat in the fridge all day and then I “put it together.” :lol:

    Took Client out in Vegas on Monday night.
    Look at these frigging prices. -- I did not order the $265 steak, but I did laugh at it.
    (I did enjoy a very good steak, just not that one.)


    It's 44 OZ, so not intended for one person. (though I know a couple of folks who might be able to put it away). But still crazy expensive. This is not your grandfather's (or Wobbie's) Vegas of the $1.99 prime rib buffet anymore.
    We used to get the $2 midnight to 4:00 am steak dinner at the Horseshoe. Steak, baked potato, salad and bread for two bucks. 50 cent beers at the bar.

    I haven't, but you could easily stuff them with cabbage and mushrooms and add some soy, mirin, chives, etc.

    Last night I made my grandmother’s sweet and sour meatball recipe. It’s so good. My mom always makes it as an appetizer for holiday meals. But I decided to make a meatball sandwich. Yummy!!

    I love homemade sweet and sour sauce. I put it on fried eggs with fully cooked yolks.

    The sauce is really good. The one I made is not the Asian style (like on sweet and sour pork). The recipe is an old Eastern European recipe. How do you make yours?  The one I make is made with green pepper, onion, tomato purée, lemon juice, brown sugar, oregano, garlic, water, and raisins.

    I tend to follow Chinese recipes, but I doctor them up a bit. I started with this: https://www.adailyfood.com/chinese-egg-fried-with-sweet-sour-sauce/  But tend to add more vinegar, less starch and I use a normal 12" fry pan. If I have black vinegar on hand I love to add that.

    Creative. Meatballs pre-made? Crock pot? 
    I just had empenadas with ground beef and raisins hidden in there. Added a unique sweetness I'd never think to use.

    Nope. Meatballs were not premade. No crockpot. It only takes about an hour total in a regular pot. I mixed the ground beef with an egg and breadcrumbs. The sauce takes a while to get the right balance. First it was a bit too sour so I added more brown sugar. Then it was too sweet so I added more tomato purée and water and a bit more lemon juice and so on until I got it right. I have been eating this since I was a kid so I know how it is supposed to taste so I was aiming for that. But anyone else could stop adjusting when they liked the taste.

    That’s Chilean empanadas ground meat mix with hard boiled eggs & raisins! Did you bake or fry the empanadas? We only fry empanadas when we fill them with cheese & shrimp or cheese and quince jam

    These I got at a Columbian joint. They were fried. Not sure if eggs were in there. Yum
