Making a fresh pasta sauce with produce from the greenhouse.
Started by frying onion and garlic, then adding coarsely chopped ingredients (plum tomatoes, red pepper) until just about cooked, mix in vast amounts of basil, then pour onto pasta. Plus dessert and some baking

That all looks delicious, Tines!

All right: it's time for another posting of, "Dear God, What Did Gob Ingest This Time?"
In today's chute: Venom.
I have many food vices, but the worst of them all is an affinity for energy drinks. I developed this in college when the Monster truck would come by to hand out as many free monsters as you could make out with, like some Generation X fusion of an ice cream truck and crack dealer. By the time I had finished college, I had been hooked. Coca-Cola was last year's energy burst, man. Daddy needed his taurine.
I finally kicked that habit...until I joined the Army. And then things went pretty much as one would expect. That being said, I discovered THIS:
Look at it. LOOK AT IT. And if that's not enough, look at what it's sponsoring.
That's right: this is the only energy drink with the cajones to sponsor something as ludicrously insane as Ninja Warrior. Because it CAN.
Some food products try to avoid looking like it's what you would use to clean the bloodstains out of your carpet, but Venom goes in the complete opposite direction. It's packaging STARES YOU DOWN, letting you know that if you don't buy this product, it will hunt you down in the night and make you reap cold, unfeeling vengeance.
If Monster is that douche-bro who wears nothing but Affliction shirts, and Red Bull is the corporate pump machine who works out between meetings, Venom is that creepy guy at the back of the gym that you're ninety-nine percent sure killed a guy, and fifty-percent sure it was with a ladle.
But what about the taste, you may ask? Better, I would say, than most other energy drinks. It actually has flavor beyond 'chalk,' 'sugary chalk,' or 'burning.' It is a bit on the over-carbonated side, but that's a texture that I actually enjoy versus the flatness of something like a Monster. And it always comes in those super-freeze aluminum bottles, which ensures that you should get something cool if not icy cold when drinking. A big plus.
It's light on the flavors department, but what it has is good. The regular is the most energy drink-esh, with a neutral if not unappealing flavor. Mango is that same mango flavor that all artificial mango flavored products claim is mango.
It's not mango, guys. It's NOT. Stop telling us this.
The Fruit Punch is the best of the batch, though this may simply be nostalgia for the fruit punch packets in MREs...which it is suspiciously similar to in taste. There is a Lo-Carb flavor, but it is the only one I have not sampled because I am drinking an energy drink: if I wanted to go for the healthy option, that ship has sailed, struck the iceberg, and rolled credits to a Celine Dion song.
What about energy? Does it energize. Yes...without the trippy downswing and loss of energy. I might be biased in this, as I started drinking Venom well after I had developed a terrible tolerance for too much caffeine, but I never suffer the sort of energy loss or downward moodswing I would get with a Monster (which seems to have worse and worse side effects each time I try one), or even a Red Bull (which I drink if I can't find Venom). It doesn't overenergize, though it will leave you more bouncy than your average soda.
Which is probably a result of the one downside of this drink: there is...so much sugar. There is a Caribbean sugar plantation's worth of sugar in each can. I will attest that, while no energy drink is HEALTHY, some are less healthy than others, and Venom is square in the latter category. It is a sugarbomb.
But it is a good one, and it's not Monster. And that is a good thing in my book (because that stuff is just no fun, guys). So, if you see one, try it, if not...don't worry about it. Just don't let it see you. Because if it does...it will find you.[/spoiler]

Does it give you a massive sugar crash after you ingest it, though. That might be a bad feature to have in an energy drink.

I'm about to go have post-thanksgiving brunch, which I anticipate will be awesome.

Yesterday, I made a baguette sandwich with ham, tomato, lettuce, scrambled eggs and sauteed mushrooms.

*Casts revive*
Was going to post this in the RML thread, but I thought... there must be somewhere more appropriate...
I've been working on my food game lately, trying to be a good husband, as there are many a night when my wife works long hours, and because fuck gender roles, I want my wife to come home to a tasty cooked meal.
I was curious to see what I could do with chicken thigh meat, so I did a simple recipe for carmelized bacon wrapped chicken. It was a lot easier than I thought, just a mixture of brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper, salt, and pepper, cooked for a half hour, complemented by a simple spinach and kale salad with some sliced carrot, red peppers, and grape tomatoes. Nothing amazing or especially creative, but it was damn tasty, and I was quite pleased with the end result.
The original recipe called for curry powder, but I used "Slap Ya Mama" instead. Best name for a spice mix.

Re: Post your food porn [picture thread]
Since this thread has been bumped...
I was feeling a bit peckish yesterday after my work-out (cycle around 7 miles to gym in about freezing temperatures, do serious lifting including squats, cycle home again), and there were things in the fridge that wanted using up. So I just put the available pieces together.
The major ingredients
and after assembly, with some BBQ sauce
voila! double bacon cheese burgers

My lunch now feels wholly inadequate.
I'll see your double bacon cheese burgers, and raise you this bangin' turkey, ranch, and swiss BLT I made many moons ago.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that pretzel rolls and croissants are key to an awesome sandwich.

Re: Post your food porn [picture thread]
That was the main meal of the day for me, even if it was a sort of late lunch by the clock when I ate. After that, supper was just an avocado and a couple of satsumas, sufficient to tide me over to breakfast.
Hey, it looks like you could catch some vitamins from that.this bangin' turkey, ranch, and swiss BLT
