What did you have for dinner last night?

[Abraham Smashington]

beef quesadillas with corn salsa from Apron.

Good stuff. That salsa was the gooooooods.

(Semi) Homemade chicken enchiladas. Canned chicken breast from Costco, sauteed in olive oil and sprinkled with chili powder, garlic powder, crushed oregano, cumin and cilantro, rolled in flour tortillas with shredded cheddar, generous dollops of habanero salsa and Goya yellow rice, and drizzled with melted cheddar and hot sauce. With sour cream and more rice on the side. Fucking CHOW.

Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut for a lot of stuff and tastes great to boot.

Salsa was good, but those quesadillas were trash. Going to make my own this weekend to make up for it.

[Abraham Smashington]

They weren't anything special but after adding my own spices and filling they weren't terrible IMO but most of that may have been due to the face that I really fucking loved that salsa.

Had some bullshit veggie thing last night that I wasn't a huge fan of. Oh well. they can't all be winners

[BillyG]

My issue was the tortilla. Soon as I tossed them in the pan to cook they went to hell. Like, melted and exploded at the same time, so I ended up with some meat mess.

BDR bourbon chicken with garlic rice. so goddamn good.

Gimme that recipe.

I have this weird, pathological dislike of rotisserie chicken. I feel like it's. . . cheating, somehow. My wife gets them all the time, and I eat them (they taste fine), but I'd never get one of my own volition. And yet, any restaurant prepared foods, totally OK.

[Martin]

I get tmy rotisserie chickens at Costco, around 10am or 3-4pm, when they're out of the oven. I avoid the ones who's been sitting there for 5 hours. It's like eating out a girl who has been marinating in her sweat for the day after hiking.

Gimme that recipe.

So the one thing we added to that recipe is lightly salted peanuts in the last 10 minutes of cooking.

As for the garlic rice:

3/4 cup white basmati rice
3 cloves garlic - minced
olive oil

In a small pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the rice, a big pinch of salt and 1 ½ cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook 12 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and fluff the cooked rice with a fork.

That's the standard rice I do, with garlic added. Noted!

And Rob, your main site blocked at work, so would you kindly copy-paste that recipe please?

Reduce heat and simmer for 20 mins.

Serve over rice and drink a beer.

Had some awesome meals this weekend.

spent way too much money on ginger whiskey and sushi on Saturday for lunch and some awesome chicken fettuccine stuff from Blue Apron.

Also had their porketta sammich this weekend. Super tasty.

Brats and corn last night on the grill. Cranberry/apple and habernero/mango brats were damn tasty.

[BillyG]

I had that fettucine last night. I was an idiot and totally forgot to add the cream. Still good.
