Last night my wife and I had the best steaks I think I ever cooked.  They were boneless rib-eyes with sauteed onions and mushrooms.  I just cooked them long and slow, caramelizing the fat.

Tonight, it is a chicken stir fry with fresh broccoli, onions, carrots, and celery in teriyaki sauce over a bed of white rice.

I do a similar Mexican-style ribeye rubbed with cumin, paprika, garlic and lime, pan-fried with onions and peppers.. tasty indeed

Does anyone know of a tasty, original way to serve it?


I've never done spaghetti squash, but I remember my mom baking acorn or other squash with butter, pepper and a little brown sugar

Steak, onions, and mushrooms are kind of a holy trinity. Big smile

A good stir fry like that can be a wonderful thing, too.

A 747. All you have to do is go to the airliner junkyard in the Mojave desert and grab an old Boeing 747 that United Airlines had no use for and grind it up piece by piece. Unfortunately all the avionics are ripped out of these things but you can be creative by adding some horse raddish and cheese to make it a wee bit more tasty. Make sure that the tail section is eaten last. Last time that I ate a 747 the emenage was the best. Save the best for last. That's my recipe for eating a Boeing 747.

Well, I just whipped up some Carrot-Ginger-Orange soup for lunch.  As easy as it sounds, with a bit of butter blended  in for creaminess.  Definitely getting our antioxidants today, and making up for that Mexican food we devoured last nightLOL

I recommend some bread and cheese to go with this soup.

  Hospital food niether. But on the upside they give you as many portions as your heart desires here in Montréal. And the the doctors and nurses are drop dead gorgeous. I'd rather eat them than the food.

If you want to lose weight, hospital food can't be beat. Dead

It's not that it's un-nutritious or even badly prepared necessarily.  It's just incredibly bland.

Figure this out. 

For years, every time i chop onions, my eyes and nose just run like crazy.....onions have always made me cry from the onset. 

Today, I had to finely chop 7 cups of onions for the thanksgiving stuffing.   I expected the usual nightmare scenario.  Behold.....nothing.  No crying, no runny nose, almost no irritation whatsoever. 

Can anyone explain that?   Do we just get immune to onions at a certain exposure level?   Or was this batch of onions weak?

I made the simplest of dishes today, and the kids loved it....

1) grill slices of aubergine, zucchini and bell pepper. Let cool slightly, and dress as a salad with some olive oil, vinegar and oregano
2) boil rice, mix with a small can of tomato paste, and diced onion while still hot (serve warm!)
3) grill sliced chicken breast until just done, spice  up with a bit of mint or oregano, salt and pepper

That's all....

I’m going to hospital this week, and I definitely don’t need to lose weight. Well, it’s only for a few days, so I will probably survive. I will think up some delicious food to cook when I return home.

Could be the latter - I don't think you get "immune", it's a chemical reaction (amino acid sulfoxides) that generates the tears every time, no matter how many times you dice an onion - if the compounds are there.  Did the onions come from the fridge by chance?  Just read that might alleviate the tears as well.

Have you tried any of the things that are supposed to remedy that but don't work? LOL
Curious if you are using different onions or different method.  I've just learned to deal with it because I really like onions.

Probably have to wait until spring to see what those daffodils and tulips you planted actually come up as Wink

What makes me think it wasn't weak onions is that I had two varieties, yellow and white.  I could see one or the other weak, but both would be unusual. 

I did have them in the fridge since I bought them, but I always store them in the fridge. 

And no Slart, I've never tried the old wives tricks either.   I suffer for onions like you.  Cry

Now let hope the stuff tastes good, it's a lot of freakin' work. 
LOL

the thing there, Angie, is the grilled part-- I as yet have no grill, indoor or out, so I can't get that flavor you only get with wood or coal .. someday though, someday

well worth it, onions in dressing is a must (sage too, but I guess that's a matter of taste)

I just ate some snow. tasty. I saw a Jack Ass video. Johnny Knoxville pissed into a snow cone and ate it. He was actually enjoying it. My wife doesn't think this sort of thing is funny. Only guys can laugh at it. Women, no sense of humour. Next time you are feelling peckish. Best recipe. Piss and snow.
