The Lazy Gourmet

I can also enjoy a decently made Falafel ball dish (Crushed, deep-fried or baked, Chick or Fava Beans with seasonings).

see the delight that exudes from a tofu steak.

I see burned cheese.

[Rusty Edge]

The trick to cooking tofu is to deep-fry it animal fat, such as beef tallow or bacon grease.

[Buster's Uncle]

Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of pretending it's food?

[Rusty Edge]

It drives the Tofu people crazy, because it neutralizes the supremacy in the process of making it tasty.

[Buster's Uncle]

Food science needs to do a better job - about the only thing they fake well is weak artificial vanilla.

When I feel lazy, I like to take Tilipia Fillets and cook them in a pan with margarine and a lemon pepper seasoning. I serve the fish with white rice and a vegetable to create a balanced meal.

JEsus, are you ever definitely from California.

Been craving red meat for a week now.

This is actually notable, since I also have developed a minor aversion to it.  To the point I'll typically order the chicken at a steak place.  As such, I keep finding excuses NOT to indulge in my craving. 

Thinking...last red meat I've eaten...4/4, we at Freddy's in Flagstaff.

Really want a steak.  Raining, can't grill it myself tonight, so will put craving on hold again..

The trick I did with the greasy burgers recently worked Sunday with BBQ ribs - the stuff prone to grease fires and burning makes its own smoke flavor; no need to add wood.

BBQ ribs

Bones are for decorating not eating. 

[Buster's Uncle]

We're cheapskates - its actually back/shoulder, with very little bone.

[Unorthodox]

I read that as "every little bone" and nearly lost my lunch...

[Buster's Uncle]

I just had a little steak for supper - no bone at all.

What have you done to deserve the allocation of expensive food on silver trays?
