What's for Dinner, Wed., Aug. 8, 2018
Tacos! This is something we haven't had in a long time. We are using a low-carb (TJ's) soft shell taco and the RG made a spicy cabbage topping to go on top (mayo based). Used ground pork and chorizos There are also cheese slices to put on them.
As a refresher, chopped cucumber. Also marinated garden vegetables, such as zucchini, red and yellow peppers, cucumber, and carrot sticks.
That's a bunch of vegetables in a burrito. This is not a taco.

2. Crab salad!
Surprise sale at Publix. I'll have with salad veggies on the side and moan with pleasure. Homemade lemonade.
For hubby, fried flounder and a brown rice and quinoa mix.
Two reasons to double puke.

8. Spicy zucchini quesadillas!
Grate it and add cheese, jalapeno, raisins, scallions, drizzle of lime juice. Fill your tortillas and heat as usual for quesadillas.
Oh yum.

Zucchini is coming fast and furious
so... not being able to eat it all fresh, I discovered mashed zucchini... it is a great substitute for mashed potatoes, yummy,

No, it is NOT a great substitute for mashed potatoes. I'm trying to picture it, and it ain't pretty. Zukes have their place, but this ain't it.

It's not a wonder lefty is so angry and violent, look at that food! I would probably be in a foul mood if I had to eat that crap also.

They are angry because when they ask "what's for dinner?", are told "tacos" and then they get served a DUmmie version of a taco. It would piss me off too.

New Jersey makes their tacos (whatever the hell it is) a whole lot different than we do here in Texas. Freaking YUCK with that crap she's putting on some type of tortilla. Is she even using a real tortilla?

Sounds more like 'Weird-o chef's salad served on a tortilla' than a taco, to me.

LOL, the cabbage was the kicker for me.
-
Hmmmm ... I read the contents of the tacos as spicy cabbage slaw, ground pork, "chorizos", and "cheese slices". The chopped cucumber and marinated vegetables seem to be sides.
Other than the likelihood of the "cheese slices" being so-called "American cheese" (I call that "alleged cheese") the tacos sound OK. Just exchange the alleged cheese for grated Jack and/or cheddar. As for the rest, I don't like cukes and I'll pass on the pickled vegetables (which is more of an Italian thing - giardiniera), too.

Mini tacos, ala Steve Dawes? Always a winner.

The cabbage and a CHEESE SLICE? WTF?? Sounds like a Jack in the Box taco.

I think cabbage slaw is more common with Baja-style fish tacos. Gack in the Box "tacos" do use alleged cheese, which really should not bee withing 10 feet of a real taco. I do like Gack in the Box "tacos", but as a thing, not as a taco.

Yeah, I was thinking the cabbage slaw was for fish tacos. I see that here in Texas and on the east coast on pulled pork BBQ sandwiches.
And I agree with you about the JITB tacos. They're not too bad, but they're also not tacos. I don't know if ANYONE knows what kind of meat is in those things. :rotf:

Well, cooked cabbage makes me physically gag and I'm no fan of it fresh either, but at least the bits of it in salad bar lettuce mix I can successfully ignore. I believe it was JITB that was found to be using kangaroo meat at one time, many years ago (IIRC it was an unscrupulous Aussie seller to blame, JITB supposedly didn't know it was 'roo).

How about some yummy Mini Tacos by Jose Ole!! You can taste the fiesta!! :drool: more like artificial flavor and orange grease.

Those things look nasty. Honestly a lot of the tacos I eat don't have any cheese. One of my favorites is al pastor. Hell yeah!

In updated DUmmie food news: Did you have a craving for Chinese food tonight? How about some delicious Kung Pao? You won't get it from the DUmmie Kitchens:

Kung Pao Chickpea and Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry...
There are many versions of this recipe but this one is my favorite (from Ambitious Kitchen). If you like a less peanutty flavor, use less peanut butter and a dash more soy for the sauce. I served it over rice but I think it would be good with noodles as well. Also, I don't use cilantro cause it's soapy to me.
Ingredients
For the stir fry:
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved
Freshly ground salt and pepper
1 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
slopped around in some sauce. Two out of my four most hated food items, brussels sprouts and chick peas. No protein, as usual. Oh, and as usual, there are always some hard to find ingredients that are expensive and you have to spend $20 in gas driving around to find:
2 tablespoons gluten free reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
Serve immediately over quinoa or brown rice.
Of course. And throw immediately in the trash, even the dog won't eat it.

Liberal tacos >>>>> salad stuffed in a folded slice of bread. :drool: :puke:
Almost forgot, smear it with Brie cheese.

I don't mind brussels sprouts but you couldn't pay me to eat a chickpea. And what is that crap they call it when they mash those things up? It is absolutely disgusting.

What's for Dinner, Thurs., Aug. 16, 2018
For starters, Asian style salad with tossed greens, tangerine segments, cucumbers, peanuts, and mirin.
Sausages cooked in cast iron pan.
Cubanelle peppers with dried cranberries and pine nuts.
Quinoa-zucchini-scallion cakes.
For dessert, I'm mixing up the RG a blueberry-coconut milk-no-sugar ice cream shake.
What's in that sausage? Tofu and kale? Could I just have a burger & fries? Stop with the friggin quinoa.

Minus 2 points for not modifying the word 'Sausage' with something like 'Chicken asiago' or 'Vegetable protein.'

And a "cast iron pan"? Shouldn't it be "a Calphalon Tri-ply copper frying pan"

Most of that menu Karin posted above sounds meh (unless the sausages are better than I would expect a DUpipo to have), but the "Cubanelle peppers with dried cranberries and pine nuts" sounds like a really weird combination.
-

The cast-iron pan is kind of a current nutri-nazi foodie cult shiny object, I can't cut any points on that one.

A hot cast-iron pan is useful for searing the outside of meats, and there is a reason it's good technique (if you have the time). But like all fads it's gone over the top. If you have a hankering for one, wait a couple years and you should find several at people's garage/yard sales.

Not totally certain, but isn't cornbread kind of cultural appropriation? Of the South and perhaps African Americans? That might trigger leftist snowflakes.

I have always loved cornbread, my mom never made it often enough to suit me when I was a kid though. My dad hated it--he grew up during the depression and ate it so often that he got sick of it and never got nostalgic for it. :(

Not to humblebrag, but my cast iron pan is 100 years old. And yeah, the cornbread with bacon grease generously slathered on the bottom (I mean, a LOT), is sooo good.

The former Mrs. Wiggum had one approximately that age. It was awesome. They don't make them like that anymore.

Mark this as a sign of the Apocalypse, friends. A handful of DUmmies are having dinners consisting of steaks, chops, burgers and the like made with actual meat. Plenty of vegetables, of course, as gardeners, but nothing actually revolting. Adding brandy and wine in a festive way. Hmmm does life not actually suck?

It's made just like the real thing, but with steamed cauliflower rather than potatoes.
Just call it cauliflower salad, dammit.

Today, they were making fun of old mid 20th century recipes, such as donut and prune salad. Yes, yuck. But, one DUmmie inadvertently gave a link to the beloved and funny James Lileks, who is or was a wonderful contributor to National Review.

What a waste of a decent pita and mayo! My preferences in flat breads are corn tortillas or naan.
