What do you like to cook for yourself when your spouse or family isn't around?
- visciole Mar 3, 2010 10:09 AM
If you usually cook for other people, but you have a night alone at home, what do you cook just for yourself? Or do you eat cold cereal?
That depends... if I'm in the mood to be in the kitchen than anything involving soft goat cheese - like pizza with goat cheese, pesto and chicken for instance. DH isn't fond of it and the kids are hit or miss so on nights like that (which are rare) I cook for me. When I'm not in the mood to spend an extended period in the kitchen instead of going the cold cereal route I'd probably just make a big salad or thaw some chili or soup for dinner.
re: maplesugar
When I'm alone I also make something with goat cheese. DH claims to hate it, but will eat it if it's hidden. I would rather wait till I'm home alone for dinner to make a salad or pizza with warm goat cheese.
re: maplesugar
Same thing but white goat cheese thin crust pizza with pesto, cherry tomatoes, sprinkle of bacon and fried eggplant. Salavating just thinking about it.
I eat an assortment of leftovers, or I pig out on chocolate and the like with no dinner added. Nothing that needs cleaning up. I wonder if I lived alone how often I would cook for myself....scary now that I think about it.
re: almansa
(freeze it! then then you can indulge at whim!)
Whole fish in all its iterations -- but most especially sardines. I'm the only one who loves them, so I nearly always take advantage of my solo evenings to indulge. We have one friend couple who are the same way: one loves it, and the other hates it. We need to do a switcheroo every once in a while, I guess!
re: dmd_kc
A little culinary swinging, eh? Just be sure she doesn't wind up with any of your sard juice on her dress. ;)
Maxed out tuna salad on crusty bread, pasta or pizza with anchovies, my dh is not a fan of any of these wonderful things.
I also indulge in a big bowl of honey-butter popcorn and some good, malty hot chocolate...all to myself.
"La Trippa", cubed up tripe cooked 8-10 hours in a crockpot with plain tomato puree, lots of chopped garlic, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Crusty french/italian bread for dunking and a small tossed salad with oil & vinegar. They don't like it, too bad.Also Mexican style stewed tripas de leche, they don't like that either. I got a thing about innards.
re: lfiske29
I do puttanesca, too. Also big greek salads w/ sardines thrown in for protein, since he also doesn't love those fish.
Either some vegetable Mrs. O hates - bell peppers (stuffed), eggplant (parm!!), swiss chard - or some ungodly mess I do on an impulse I would never indulge if cooking for others. One day I'd mixed egg with a little cream to dip a piece of catfish in before rolling it in cornmeal, then I fried it... and just as it was about done I thought, Gee, shouldn't let this go to waste! and poured the remaining egg mixture in the pan. Wound up with a piece of fish wrapped in a very rich, tender omelet, and Damn it was good...
re: Will Owen
The catfish sounds very good, Will - If I'm cooking for me, it's usually something w/ olives and mushrooms. DS hates them. If SO is not around, it's shellfish, which he hates.
re: meatn3
HEY!! I was going to say that!
Actually, I usually go with just the gizzards when I can find them. I sometimes toss them with masa before frying. DW won't touch them, which is a good thing. More for me!
re: al b. darned
I can find livers easily, gizzards are becoming much harder to locate in my area! I toss with seasoned flour and pan fry. Masa would be good though!
If I get really energetic I have them with rice, cream gravy, steamed spinach and broiled tomatoes. Most times I'm not so energetic...
re: meatn3
Calves liver, chicken liver, kidneys. Also fish, brussel sprouts and asparagus. Maybe a lamb chop or two.
osso bucco, or braised lamb shanks; DH doesn't like them at all. I usually make them when he's away on his annual golf trip.
Came up with the Friday Night Faux-Bachelor Special while the gf and I did long distance for awhile when she went back to grad school.
Come back from the store, turn on some music, and preheat the oven. While the oven preheats, coat a thick and well-marbled rib-eye with a mixture of crushed pepper (black, white, sichuan). Set aside. When the oven is ready, pierce a sweet potato with a knife and toss it in. Pour a healthy three fingers of whiskey (neat) and read or surf or watch the ballgame or do some other lonely man activity (not _that_, you pervs) for about an hour. Return to the kitchen and preheat a pan over a healthy flame. Liberally sprinkle kosher or sea salt all over the steak and toss it in the pan. Cook, touching but once to turn, until it is beautifully seared but rare. Remove and set aside. While the meat rests, get out a plate and toss some watercress on it. Thinly slice some shallot and toss it on the greens. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and lemon juice. Plate the baked potato and dollop with butter and salt. Plate the steak, pour another whiskey, and proceed to heaven. A perfect meal for not 10 minutes in the kitchen and one plate, one pan, one cutting board, and one knife to clean before retiring or heading out for the evening. Now to figure out when the girlfriend is traveling again.
re: eight_inch_pestle
oh MAN. i'm going to do that FOR the BF and me one of these days. drool.
That is when I cook my truly spicy food, usually Asian. The new husband doesn't stomach anything above the fairly spicy, so when he's gone, it gets HOT in the kitchen!
re: HillJ
Or something sinfully rich & easy like this with a good flick and a glass of wine.
re: kamdraft
Then she should have her nose checked out.
Fried egg sandwich
big bowl of braised kale & garlic
sardines in mustard sauce on toast
pizza w/anchovies or mushrooms
anything w/artichokes
olives olives olives!
re: gansu girl
when I get a chance to eat alone I often go for eggs (often indian-style scrambled, with sauteed ginger, scallions, green chiles and cumin, with cilantro mixed in) layered in bread or some other type of sandwich (something my husband doesnt go for). Its rare these days that I will do elaborate cooking without someone to share it with.
re: jen kalb
those eggs sound amazing. i'd make those for me and the boy.
Nachos or refried black bean burritos. I also tend to go slightly Heathcliff Huxtable and grab some things not to my husband's quality standard. No complaints for that though.
just-cooked scrambled eggs and toast, eaten steaming hot. Oh, and super crunchy potatoe and sweet potato french fries
Vegetables -- steamed or roasted, just tons of em and a variety; most i cook for are not intrigued by plates of vegetables...
Steak. Maybe with mushrooms. My family doesn't care about steak, and my husband demo's it at Costco, so he gets plenty.
If it's morning, bacon and eggs. Again, my kids don't care about eggs and my husband doesn't like bacon.
That's an easy one: Tuna Noodle casserole made with Genova tuna, Campbell's cream of mushroom, Mrs. Grass's medium noodles and Lays potato chips on top. Pig out food for me and gross out won't touch the stuff tuna for the hubby.
Ismail Merchant's chicken livers... can't post the recipe, since it's copyrighted, involves a jalapeno, yogurt and lots of garlic. It's so easy and a pot of rice made at the same time times out perfectly.
When my wife is away I make my 4 meat chilli or my 5 meat jambalaya. In both cases I will make a side of bacon topped corn bread. It is probably a good thing my wife is not on the road a lot or my cholesterol would be through the roof.
Homemade macaroni and cheese; pasta with butter, parmesan, and parsley; creamed eggs/S.O.S.; salmon, veggies with as much ground coriander as pleases me.
Anything with far too much spice. I tend to load up anything I can with extra cayenne, red pepper flakes or hot sauce. My bf doesnt love spice, so I tend to go light when cooking for the two of us...
probably something hot, like a big bowl of stir fried stuff.
Roasted sweet potatos
a spicy curry of some kind
big bowl of brothy soup
an omlette
it is something i can make within 15 min, and uses only one pot -odd things put together, just because i have an opportunity to clean the fridge. or things that the hubs don't usually like: sweet potatos, yams, pumpkin, basted eggs, mango chutney, etc.
I always use my crock pot. I dont know why but i personally believe that all awesome kitchen gadgets were invented in the 70's and crock pots top the list.
When the wife is away i will usually cook a brisket or pork shoulder in the crock pot. Just throw it in, grind a little pepper, add one teaspoon liquid smoke, and cook on high 4 hours.
Serve over buns or bread with bbq sauce or without. Forget the bbq sauce and top your bun with coleslaw and sprinkle the meat with cider vinegar if your in an east coast mood.
re: Breadcrumbs
I'll grill two or three steaks, bake a potatoe, fry onions and mushrooms on the grill,
and fix a can of Bush's Grillin Beans; several vodka martinis, and open a bottle
of pinot noir. Of course, I can't eat all this but the leftovers are good for several more
meals. I'll make hash of the extra steak and potatoes. Then there is a cigar on the deck.....
Shrimp, any preparation. Usually Asain, though. The SO can't stand them and whines like a little girl about not knowing if the "poop thing" is completely out, haha.
re: junescook
Now we're talking!!!
Sauteed chicken livers with fried onions and a fried egg. I am only ever allowed to make them when my Mr. won't have to watch me eat them, and the house has a chance to air out. And he's pretty liberal, but the livers just destroy everything about him that wants to eat.
Well, since I'm now single, I get to experiment much more in the kitchen again. Since I have access to the best produce on the market, I've been playing with alot more veggies than the family would have eaten. Discovered a strong desire to eat mushrooms, that I REALLY LIKE olives, Brussels Sprouts aren't even close to the disgusting little balls of cabbage my mother stewed years ago, roasting cauliflower is awesome, crosnes are freaky looking, but taste good, salsify is really sticky, and that it will still take some time to acquire a taste for eggplant. My son abhors cooked eggs, so the eggs and pickled ramps are reserved for when he's at mom's or outside playing. Recently, I've been cooking lots of lentils, wheat berries, and quinoa, instead of the typical starches and a steady diet of venison and wild duck... Mmmmm! And I just got a stove-top smoker box for X-mas... the ABSOLUTE BEST addition to my kitchen arsenal!
re: VeggieHead
Now that's way cool, Veggiehead.
re: mamachef
What, that I'm now single or that it's taken me 40 years to realize that morels, shiitakes, chanterelles, Brussels sprouts, etc are our friends. lol
re: VeggieHead
my mom had only ever served Bird's Eye frozen brussels sprouts, cooked until dead and then a little more, so I though they were supposed to be grey-green and acrid.
I was in Zurich on business a few years ago, and the accompaniments to the amazing saddle of venison that was the special that night was a three-compartment dish containing fresh-made spaetzle, browned in butter; fresh-made rotkohl with white wine instead of vinegar; and Brussels sprouts steamed until just tender and then browned in butter and garlic.
Not only did I almost forget about the venison, but it was the first time I've ever seriously pondered asking for more vegetables in a restaurant.
My bachelorette dinners might be whole artichokes (they like 'em, but won't eat 'em whole), asparagus (I live in an asparagus-producing region), Indian food, couscous or a tajine (last two are usually takeout as it's just too much to do for myself!)..or the choucroute that the folks from Alsace make at my local market.
something with eggplant. my partner hates it, and it's one of my absolute favorites. I usually just make some parm. Or, I'll make pasta puttanesca (partner hates the olives and anchovies [though I sneak it in foods all the time without her knowing])
Linguine with white clam sauce. It was too painful watching him pick out the clams when I would make it for both of us.
Since my husband doesn't eat any red-meat products (& hasn't for over 35 years now), when he won't be dining home, I lean towards making myself a small steak, or lamb chops, or sometimes even pork, depending on my mood. And since he doesn't care for chicken livers, which I love, sometimes I'll saute up a batch of them for dinner when he won't be around.
If the season is right, shad roe & fresh bluefish are also on my list of sole dining experiences.
If I'm feeling lazy-Stouffers frozen mac and cheese.. If I'm feeling very self indulgent-homemade potato skins w/ lots of bacon and cheese.
I like to keep it simple. For a Sunday breakfast I'll fry up a pound of chorizo and, while that's sizzling, I'll microwave a tub of Country Crock garlic mashed potato. Mix the 2 together and season to taste. If I have some large tortillas hanging around, I'll make a burrito or 2 otherwise, I'll just eat from the plate.
When my wife and son are gone I usually cook up a pot of kielbasa, cabbage, with some potatoes on the side...
I tend to go either austere or splurge with things like sweetbreads or porky products that my wife won't eat. She came home one day and I had braised an octopus
I make crab legs. Husband likes them quite a bit, too, but I've always adored crab. It's incredibly fast and easy, and I figure if he's off sitting in a hotel hot tub and eating out on the company's dime while I'm at home with the kids, I get crab legs.
These days that would be any recipe featuring a roasted or baked tomato. For some reason I'm the only one in the family that loves a fresh baked tomato tart (with some delicious cheese and good mustard) or a grilled tomato with a drizzle of oil & garlic. So, if I find myself solo, it's a good time to enjoy the heck out of a tomato for one :)
re: LaureltQ
If you want to add something to the pasta- thinly sliced kalamata olives and basil are delicious.
re: cheesecake17
oh, yowza.
re: sunshine842
goat cheese hating husband is out tonight... so this will be dinner. minus the basil, plus parsely.
re: LaureltQ
what kind of goat cheese?
scrambled egg on superthin slice of toast w/ketchup and much, much pepper. it's my thing......
re: italy531
Same here. If it is not scallops, it is a dal with asafoetida/hing, rice and a raita.
re: rcallner
i'm sorry...do you eat meat when theyr'e home? everything in moderation!
re: fara
Every now and then, I eat meat when they're home. Well, let me think about that. Hardly ever, actually. Maybe a little piece of chicken cooked on the side and added to whatever we're all having. My stepdaughter (1st grade) tends to hold her nose and hoot if I'm cooking meat. It's funny, but successfully discourages me from doing it. Don't miss it, though.
Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti....with my simple premade red sauce, and a nice sprinkle of fresh grated parmesan cheese. I've been known to eat half a pound all by myself. Luckily I'm not alone for dinner that often. Otherwise, I'd weigh a ton.
Broccoli rabe with rice is a favorite. Saute some rabe in a bit of olive oil, add some garlic and red pepper flakes, then stir in some vermouth, chicken broth (or water) and rice. Cover and cook until the rice is done. Stir in some freshly grated parm, s&p to taste. I can eat huge quantities of this.
re: Isolda
isolda, that sounds like something both of us would eat, so i don't have to wait to have it. in fact, he has never had broccoli rabe but i know he'll like it. going to try this.
re: jvanderh
Potato pancakes! It's so much easier to grate one potato, throw in some egg and flour, and use a small pan. Plus they're so much better really hot and it's more or less impossible to serve them that way for more than one. (But please don't tell!)
re: visciole
I make 'em with leftover mashed potatoes.
re: visciole
mmm :-) I might have to add potato pancakes to my repertoire.
re: mamachef
You're my kind of gal, mamachef!
re: mamachef

re: sunshine842
Until the very next morning, when I "cooked" up a delicious breakfast of tylenol, seltzer and lime. : )
re: yankeefan
Blue cheeses are my go-to also. "Mac & cheese" with caramelized onions, stilton and pasta. If tomatoes are in season I'll add a finely diced one. A cold day favorite is stilton & tomato soup ... stilton on crackers works too. And on hot summer days pasta tossed with a touch of balsamic, olive oil, garlic, stilton and, after it's sat for a few minutes, fresh diced tomato and basil.
you might like the book Alone in the Kitchen with An Eggplant, a great collection of essays on this very subject!
Mr. Sueatmo is always around these days! But if he wasn't, I think I'd go buy a tub of chicken livers, and fry them up. I haven't had a potato in over a year now, but in that case I might just make me some mashed potatoes too.
Scrambled eggs with mushrooms, and spinach or other greens or brussels sprouts, all mixed up together. Or a yogurt smoothie with banana and peanut butter. Or, I order a margherita pizza for pick-up. (My partner avoids wheat and dairy, and doesn't like mushrooms or brussels sprouts.)
My BF was away for 6-1/2 weeks (longest time we've been apart in 5 years) and, among other things, I made fried catfish, a provencal take on butterfish, seared scallops, smoked oysters and cream cheese on crackers, and take-out pizza with garlic and clams. Yep, the BF doesn't much like fish. Also, a couple nights i had open-faced bacon & egg sandwiches (he likes them, just not for dinner - but they're ok for 2 in the morning for him!) The rest of the time I had to cook for my dad (who is WAY pickier than the BF) but those fish nights were soooo good.
I enjoy cooking for myself without the helpful input of my family. My household includes my vegetarian husband, my carnivore-and-proud-of-it 9 year old daughter, my 40 something year old bachelor brother who was as picky as I was about food growing up (and hasn't outgrown it), and my elderly parents. My husband, brother, and mother have high cholesterol. My brother, mother, and father have high BP and make attempts (selectively) at watching their sodium. My brother and husband have acid reflux issues. And all except for my daughter and I are watching their weight (again selectively).
When I have a night off from that cast of characters, I make whatever my heart desires...pasta and Mexican are two favorite themes. If I am feeling especially decadent and can get my hands on some decent king crab legs, I will have crab with lemon & butter for dinner. I don't mind cooking for just one person, but I don't want it to be a lengthy ordeal.
re: jlhinwa
I empathize. Selective food restrictions are utterly frustrating-- you feel guilty if you're jeopardizing people's health, so you go out of your way to try to make something delicious that conforms to their requirements, then they have cheesesteaks the next day for lunch. I now require proof of commitment before accommodating.
re: jlhinwa
Shin, or Teum Sae, or H-Mart ramen (Super-Hot) (or Sapporo w/ sri racha, in a pinch) with a handful of frozen shrimp thrown in, a couple of frozen pork dumplings, some sliced dduk, topped off with a lightly poached egg. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
re: lisahk
Love, love, love teum sae, which replaced shin after 20+ years! Unfortunately, my HMart no longer carries it. How does the HMart ramyun compare to teum sae?
re: link_930
Well IMO NOTHING is as spicy as Teum Sae, so I would say the Hmart is a fabulous, clean-tasting, quite hot version of hot Korean ramen. It's a little better than Shin, which says a lot.
Anything with spinach, goat cheese, blue cheese or sweet potatoes, as these are things my husband abhors. I admit that I am often lazy when it's just me though - as often as not, I eat pork rinds with cream cheese and hot sauce instead of actually cooking!
Don't have a family, but do have a roommate, and until lately, a boyfriend, for whom I cooked. On those rare nights when I don't have anything hanging over my head to get done, and no one is around, I like to have a huge bowl of rice with uni -- I'm talking about an entire wooden flat of uni -- and luxuriate in the rare and welcome peace.
re: link_930
I have ALWAYS wanted to do that! I have a good friend who does indulge in uni over hot rice occasionally and it sounds so good.
I always get it as "dessert" at the better sushi joints, but to have it fresh at home, over rice. So decadent and lovely. I don't think I could eat the whole flat though, and this always stops me from buying it.
re: rabaja
rabaja -- do it! You can freeze what you don't eat and make a sauce out of the uni for pasta, which is also quite delicious!
re: link_930
Ooooh, I was thinking pasta with the leftovers!
And they freeze -good to know, for my cholesterols sake, anyway.
Next time i'm in the city I'm gonna DO this!
Any pasta dish--can't understand how someone can NOT love pasta, but Mr. Pine doesn't. Oh, add to that "stinky" cheeses. A plateful of pasta with feta , mizithra or gorgonzola plus a glass of red wine is my idea of heaven.
re: shrimp13
I didn't read this post and yowza, they're on my list. NICE!
re: pinehurst
I'll be cooking some tonight!
re: shrimp13
Hey s13, what are your favorite ways of doing the chicken livers? We both like them but I make them so rarely I can't remember from one time to the next what I did that we really liked. I know that the last couple of times I made them I seasoned them with Montreal chicken seasoning, then coated with panko crumbs, sprayed with pam and baked in a hot oven for about 10 minutes; so a sort of shake and bake, and they came out good -- crunchy and tender inside. But I'd be interested in some suggestions.
re: junescook
I love 'em simple sauteed in oil with onions until nice and brown on the outside but barely done inside.
My mom used to make them in a sour cream sauce and serve on rice. I need to try that one of these days!
a Quesidilla with fresh spinach, mozarella, sautee'd mushrooms and feta cheese--nice glass of vino to go with it and anything with vinegar--he hates it and I'm addicted. A slab of stinky cheese and anything with saurkraut. What's so bad about salty/vinegary/tangy things anyway?
Depending on my mood, it's either a big pot of crabs or spaghetti with meat sauce.
I can easily sit, crack crabs, and eat all night, and then have the leftovers cold for breakfast the next day. Husband and son love crabs as well, but usually it's because I do all the work for them. Nothing beats a solid stretch of alone time, where I can be self indulgent and keep all the jumbo crabs for myself.
Usually highly flavored stuff, or stuff that my bland-food-loving H considers odd.
Sardines with hot sauce.
Scrambled eggs with anchovies.
Ditto the puttanesca.
Spaghetti w garlic and oil (heavy, heavy on the aglio)
Chicken hearts wrapped in bacon (I know, I know)
Salads with lots of stinky cheese
Olive sampler plates
Or I'll make tabouleh
Wish my H's food tastes were more like mine. Sigh.
Usually things that she doesnt really like that much - so venison and east asian stuff. Or eggs, which she detests.
Lamb ribs chops--several--with garlic, sea salt, and mint jelly! Don't groan--it's a comfort thing.
re: Passadumkeg
thumbs up!
re: Passadumkeg
A seven course meal of grilled bratwurst and beer is a fine choice as well...
re: deet13
I'm the wurst too!
When my DH has the boys on some weekend skiing/camping adventure, which is about the only time I get the house to myself, I do takeout!! I get sushi, which DH is not thrilled with, from our local joint, or I'll get some fried seafood, again b/c the DH is not a fan. Either that or pig out on fast food chinese, and watch bad movies on TV.
re: jamieeats
Eggs make great dinner -- not just because I like 'em, but because eggs are a very complete protein that is also very digestible...we eat eggs a lot if we end up eating very late -- no heartburn and no indigestion.
Seafood! Everything seafood! Mr. Huntress doesn't eat seafood, so as soon as I'm alone it's Belgian mussels, seafood paella, calamari, crayfish eaten straight out of the shell. I absolutely love any kind of seafood and miss not being able to cook it as often as I used to, so it turns into a real treat for me.
Pasta! He's terrified of carbs, and doesn't see the point of aubergine, so a big plate of pasta with cherry tomatoes, chilli, garlic, aubergine, goats cheese, basil and peas. Though he's been away for 4 weeks now so I've had to cut down on the pasta indulgence...
some kind of seafood. usually crabcakes. maybe some kind of shrimp. and then i'll have some beer and turn on seinfeld.
ahhh. sometimes its better to be alone.
Oh and I forgot about quesadillas. That's my standard for when I'm not feeling up to something fancy. I love trying to use whatever ingredients I have around in the quesadilla.
and it also goes perfectly with a beer.
I'm OD-ing on mushrooms right this very minute! Bliss!
My sweetie loves them but gets horribly ill from them, so even though he says it's ok for me to, I can never bring myself to cook them when he's around.
So tonight it's a creamy mushroom risotto. I love it!

Here we are. . .another week to be grateful for! It's fun to see how everyone prepared for the trip to Palm Springs! For me, of course, it was more fun to hang out with my girl! Kimberly, as you know, was getting ready to leave for college so I picked a fun travel shop that would have fun stuff for my trip as well as for her departure! Oh my gosh! As you can see we always have fun together. Where ever we go, whatever we do, we have a good time. Where on earth would she have learned about what a vibrator was!?! Well she sure told me, didn't she? My drawer? It was a gift. I've never even used it! Thankfully, we found some cute things aside from the vibrating toothbrushes!
It was nice to see Joyce getting ready in her beautiful closet. I know how excited she was for this trip. She's such a girly girl!
Seeing Kyle and Carlton. . .that looked rough! When my sister walked in to store and the lady told how great her butt looked she looked so embarrassed. (It did look good though.) However, she didn't want her to point it out. I know she and Carlton have their differences, but at this point looks to me Kyle was unaware of this! I have no problem and even like Carlton, but I feel like her comments and faces behind my sisters back were not needed.
So time to go. . . yes I brought some luggage and even my juicer! Where ever I go I want to feel at home. That means I need all of my belongings. I feel today it's part of what keeps me feeling good and healthy! Kyle, Joyce, and I had fun the whole way down. We were laughing and goofing off. Getting ready for a girls' weekend! When we arrived the house was so beautiful! I just love the peacefulness of the desert! The way the house was built into the rocks was so cool.
Once we got settled in our rooms we headed straight to the pool. Right off the bat it just didn't feel right, and there was a lot of tension. The push for Joyce to take her sundress off! Look, in my opinion Joyce invited us all down to have a good time and to do whatever we wanted in a beautiful home. She had a chef to prepare nice dinners and planned activities, but the rest should be up to us. If you want to swim, then swim. If you want to take a walk, then take a walk. There should be no rules except to just come have a good time. I have hosted many trips in my life and just because it is my trip, doesn't mean I have to babysit. For instance, when I took my friends to Hawaii once, some people wanted to lie out while others wanted to shop or go marlin fishing. You can't be with everyone at the same time. I thought it was a little ridiculous for Yolanda to tell Joyce how to handle herself. I mean grow up!

I went to Malacca recently due to work and stayed at the city center. It was fasting month, so one day while walking around looking for place to "buka puasa" (breaking fast) I stumbled upon this unique restaurant called "Kedai Makan Upin & Ipin".
For those who don't know, Upin & Ipin is a Malaysian produced animated television series. It is quite popular locally and also in Indonesia.

How to Keep Men's Shoes Looking New:
- One of the first things a woman notices about a man are his shoes. While they don't have to be shiny and new, they'd better not be worn out and abused. Follow these steps to keep new shoes from becoming the kind of worn-out nightmares that women are trained to avoid
- Take new shoes to a shoe repair place or to the dry cleaners. Say you want heel savers, toe savers and no-slips. The shoes should be ready within a day or two
- Before you wear the newly protected shoes out of the house, check the heel savers and make sure they haven't worn down to the actual heel. If they have, take them back and have them re-done
- Repeat these steps for any shoes in your closet that you think a woman would frown on

Am I the only one who peeks at the online menu prior to visiting a restaurant?
- popcorn_denver Sep 12, 2007 10:04 AM
These days just about every restaurant has its menu available online. Now I've found myself constantly checking the menu to any restaurant I visit regardless of the meal (breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner).
Friends call me to meet them somewhere? I always defer to their choice, of course, but check the menu first anyway out of simple curiousity. Unless the menu is seriously out-of-date, I usually already know what I want to try or I obsess all day between this or that.
I'm starting to wonder, is it just me? Sure it lacks sense of surprise and spontenaity but it arms me with enough information and anticipation of what I'll be ordering later that day.
Frankly, I just can't. help. myself.
Oh, and I'll be eating here tonight (first-time)... Choices!
I don't think so. I do it all the time.
p.s. The pork chop and Flatiron Steak at Duo are great!
You are not alone. I love looking at menus before I visit a restaurant. At Mediterranean restaurants I love to order entress with pasta and shellfish/calamari. The menu will give me an idea of wat to expect. i love dick at Chinese retaruants, and like to see the price range of sushi at Japanese restaurants. I don't usually decide what I am getting until I get there, but it is nice to get an idea of the choices.
IFor you dinner tonight, I think the pork chops and the duck entress look good- and the risotto fritters sound great as a starter. Enjoy!
re: madisoneats
A local favorite of mine is Out of Asia in Saugus ma. A few months ago, a freind took me to King Fung Garden in Chinatown for the peking duck- it was so good!. Not Chinese, but I also like the Duck Walk in Wakefiled. The stuffed chicken wing app is really good- and I like all of their duck entrees.
re: madisoneats
Duh- did not even notice the typo
re: southernitalian
They are so good. Have no idea how they do it, as when they come out, they are HUGE- they must steam them for a bit, then pull back the skin, and stuff them with spices, scallions and who knows what else- then fry them. I think I have their menu in work, and will check it out tomorrow. Will post back.But they are about two to three inches wide and two to three inches high.
re: southernitalian
Found the menu- here is the description:
Marinated chicken wings in homemade herbs and spices, stuffed with chicken, shitake mushrooms, celery, onions and Thai spices wrapped with tofu skin, then deep fried.
So delicious- served with dipping sauce. I think I may have to get a take out order on my way home tonight.
As a matter of fact- I have lots of menus here at work- I guess it is kind of an obsessin with me, too. But a few Thai appetizers would make an easy, tasty dinner tonight.
re: dallen
I have new contacts on order, and I guess my eyes are not working very well. Will have to try and proff my posts until I can see again! Or than again, m aybe it was freudian slip!!
are you kidding me? this is one of my all-time favorite hobbies. having access to menus only amps up my anticipation at eating at a place, and i really enjoy the anticipation. plus, i did weight watcher's for a while, so i always wanted to be able to go into a place with a game plan. also, i like to nose around and see what specific things on restaurant menus are recommended (by chowhounds and others).
you are not alone, my friend.
re: sassygirl
Not only do I pick out what I'm going to have, I usually also decide what my dining companions are going to eat as well :)
In the Bay Area (and East Bay in particular), most of the good restaurants update at least on a monthly basis, and some change daily... sometimes I'll check out a menu for fun, and decide at the last second to go for dinner that day because I like what I see.
re: sassygirl
Obsessive On Line Menu Reading Disorder.
I suffer from it, too
I do it all the time too. I also love to look at menus posted in restaurant windows, even after I've just eaten a meal and am stuffed (my dad does this too). When my mom, who is not generally a food enthusiast, asks us how we can stand to look at a menu after we've just eaten, we reply "yeah, but we'll have to eat again."
Online menus are a great invention!
I never go out without looking at the menu first. I love the luxury of slowly thinking about each dish at home, and then anticipate the meal to come. Now I can enjoy the pre-meal conversation, glass of wine, ect. without interuption, and if I forget my reading glasses , it's no big deal!
If a menu is posted I always take a look, and ago in with a game plan for what I may try. Of course the plan may change once there and I hear the specials.
Oh, I do it all the time! Sometimes I'll pull up menus of places I'll never be able to afford/convince others to go with me and just drool.
There is this breakfast place right by my apartment that everyone raves about. I'm planning on going to it the day after the marathon. About once a week on my walk home, I walk by the place and re-read the menu. I swear, I'm more excited for that then the actual race!
Menus are my PORN, whether before an upcoming meal or just sitting at my desk imagining a future meal. they're inspiration for cooking too. friends (well, one friend) says it ruins the surprise, but luckily i have bad short term memory (even tho i too obsessively look at the menu multiple times all day before a meal) and by the time i get to the restaurant i'm pleasantly surprised by something that sounds familiar, or something that the restaurant actually added that was not on the online menu.
the flatiron steak and gnocchi look really good!
I love looking at menus online - one of my favorite things to do!
I do this every chance I get. I like to think about a particular meal all day, and consider what I'll order to drink with it and whether I'll have room for dessert or not - I don't mind at all if the menu turns out to be different once I get there, but I do love to obsess about the possibilities!
And yes, I know I'm weird. But at least I'm in good company.
Jeez, I picked 5 items from the appitizer list! That would be dinner.
Smoked Salmon 7
sour cream & cucumbers with pickled onions
on toasted black pumpkinseed bread
Stuffed Dates 6
wrapped in bacon and stuffed with goat cheese
Risotto Fritters 7
stuffed with shrimp & gouda and a tomato caper
dipping sauce
Seasonal Soup 6
Arugula Salad 7
walnuts, artisan blue cheese from St. Killian's, roasted pears and warm bacon dressing
I like to look at the menu before I go, but sometimes, after I get home, I look again! It might be a sickness.
Oh - I found dessert, too.
Lemon Caramel Icebox Cake 7
layers of caramel and lemon cream topped with a brulee meringue
re: yayadave
The sunnyside and the arugula salad would make me happy. both have bacon - yum.
I do this all the time - although, I try not to get too excited, because sometimes what I've zeroed in on is not on the current menu and I'm sorely disappointed.
Do it all the time. Part of being a hound I guess and being obseesed with food. My wife and I also do this to cut down on the wait time as more often then not we are dining with 2 hound toddlers. While they love to eat, they can get antsy.
I love checking out menus on line. I find it very helpful when I'm dieting and trying to figure out my "Weight Watcher points" and I pre-plan what I'm going to have. It also helps when I'm on a budget so I can get a general idea of what I'm going to spend at a particular place.
I do this all the time, too. I have to, or else my dining partners will starve to death before I finally decide what to order.
When I travel, I'll often check out restaurants in the city in the afternoon to look at the menu, translate with phrase book if necessary before making a reservation and eating there that evening.
I definitely do the same. I like to see what restos have to offer in terms of variety, but especially price. Being a student on a tight budget, it's helpful in keeping my finances in line.
If it's the first time trying a place, dh and I will seek out an online menu. I suppose its our way of assuring we'll find "something" to enjoy.
Restaurant websites are a lot more interesting these days!
alternate camp here. i'm in the business and know very few restaurants host their own websites. frequent changes are expensive, so it's rare the on-line menu is up-to-date.
i can't tell you how many times i've had a guest complain a dish they saw on-line wasn't available. worse still is stuff written about in the paper or magazines, because the lead-time is so long.
i may peek, but i never set my heart on anything.
re: hotoynoodle
See, a lot of restaurants in the Bay Area tend to update their website at least once a week (and sometimes it's more like every day) with the changing menu, which is great for customers. Now I get annoyed when I see a clearly out of date menu on a website (or worse, no menu at all, ahem Dona Tomas), just because it's the norm around here these days.
re: hotoynoodle
I always look at the web site for an idea of the menu (don't particularly care if it is the current one). I'm turned off by places that have obviously not updated the menu for a few seasons. At least update every 3-4 months to give your (potential) patrons an idea of what seasonal items you might be serving!
re: hotoynoodle
You know, I'm sure the fact that they can't keep the menu up to date is one excuse some restaurants give for not having a web site, but come on. This is not some far out leading edge technology anymore. If you're the type of place that has a frequently changing menu, give me an example and state that it's a sample menu. Give me a few staples that are on there most of the time. Anything.
I do read menus online but that doesn't stop me from taking my time with the menu once at the restaurant. It may be different, there may be specials, they may be out of something, etc. But I want to get a feel for what to expect. That's what a web site can provide. Otherwise I might never know that I should be considering a certain place. Even a sample menu is enough to help make that decision. I sure don't need to know exactly what I'm ordering before I get there. But at least help me make the choice to go there in the first place!
re: CrazyOne
CrazyOne, I think you make a good point. I also like to see menus ahead of time to get a financial picture. Entree price points, wine price ranges, etc. Nothing worse than $ surprises for a first time experience. I think generally speaking a restaurant websites can be a helpful resource and when site owners take the time and trouble to create an exciting, unique website they may just earn a few intrigued customers in the process.
I definitely check out menus online before going to a restaurant- old or new. It helps me decide on several options, as I tend to be somewhat indecisive when it comes to ordering (I just want to eat everything, most of the time). It's a great tool- check out the prices and the style of the restaurant, especially when it's a first time visit. I do this obsessively before vacations, both when I've made reservations or just checking out places to eat in the area, and get myself excited.
LOVE online menus - in fact I'm kind of annoyed when a restaurant hasn't posted it! haha. I do it to try to plan my day around what I'll be eating at dinner - since I'm on weight watchers. I did it before that tho too - and I've always been the person in the office with all the menus at their desk. Just started a new collection today at my new job! :)
Uh-uh, I do it all the time, too, plus I check reviews, plus I check Chowhound. . . it's a definite mania!
jfood basically has the mealplanned before he heads out the door. But please keep it a secret because jfood is ALWAYS asked what he thinks and if he needed to do this real time, the pressure would blow out his eardrums. He gives that perfunctory glances to make sure nothing has changed and confirms his choices. Then he starts to think what mrs jfood might like and that discussion begins.
But without the on-line menus to research beforehand it would be a much more time-consuming ordering process.
re: maisonbistro
my friends nicknamed me sally years ago for that very reason! of course, now that i can do advanced sleuthing thanks to online menus, it makes my crazy ordering process go a little more quickly :)
I do the same thing!! always check them out, or on a night of just chack random restaurants. I sometimes even get annoyed when I can't fine a menu online! haha
I love that there are so many of us who do this. I love to check online menus, especially when I'm going someplace new or haven't been to a particular restaurant in a while. I like to see what type of dishes to look forward to but realize that for some reason the dish may not be available when I get there. I also want to get an idea of how much I can expect to spend on the meal. Plus it's great fun!
When we travel, my husband depends on me to have already researched the interesting places to eat. Sometimes, I print the menu so I can regale him with the list while we're driving!
I always check out the on line menu and often call ahead to ask what the dinner specials will be.. I prefer to decide on a couple of choices ahead of time and then, once at the restaurant, spend more time conversing with family and/or friends.
I don't understand why you're even asking this- are your friends offended by your doing this? T me it's pure common sense to check out the resto's website and menu if it's available. The question should be if you DON'T do this, and if not, what is wrong with you.
Of COURSE! I'm usually looking for Something Different.
Apropos to this topic, I'd like to know what sites people find useful to find menus if the establishment doesn't have their own website or if it isn't posted on CH.
In descending order my favorites are
IIRC these sites don't preload restaurant locations - if the establishment is listed, a menu is there. Very useful, just don't take the prices as gospel.

Posted March 16, 2013 on AP on Fox
Texas Rangers right-hander Kyle McClellan could miss the first month of the season because of a strained lat muscle. The Rangers scratched McClellan from his start Sunday against Seattle with the injury. Texas says in a release Saturday that McClellan should need three to four weeks of recovery before beginning a throwing program. Opening day is March 31. McClellan, who had spent his entire professional career in the St. Louis Cardinals organization, signed a minor league contract with the Rangers on Jan. 15 and was a non-roster invitee to spring training. After winning 12 games for the Cardinals in 2011, he was limited to 16 relief appearances and 18 2-3 innings last year because of shoulder and elbow injuries and did not pitch after May 17.

Bison Licensing Closing
Applications for the fall bison hunt in Wyoming must be completed by the end of this month. Wyoming Game and Fish Spokesman Mark Gocke says the application period concludes February 28th. This time, says Gocke, the Jackson region is the only region offering the hunt. The population objective for the area is 500 animals, but currently Gocke says there are at least 910 animals in the herd. The number of bison is a concern since they share the same winter range with the 6-thousand elk reported there this year. The cost of a bison hunting license is $402 for residents, over $2500 for non-residents.

- 31 Jul 2014 Anonymous Mexico
- " Way too few bathrooms/toilets, compared to how many guests should share them. There wasn't a living room to stay in - only the room where the check-in-desk was, with a huge television on the wall, and smokers just outside the door. No place to eat your breakfast or just to chill out. During our stay, the staff was more interested in watching television, than on helping the guests, but they're a bit excused because of the current World Championship running on the TV. Good beds and fine location! "

Anchor California Lager
The recipe for this beer is based off of the fist genuine lager brewed in California, by a small brewery named Boca in 1876. And boy does it taste like it. It is reminiscent of an old school German or Czech lager; it is clean, crisp, and has some bite on the finish that you usually find only in European lagers. The king of California lagers, Anchor, strikes again.

The strategy used by the U.S. military to fight al Qaeda insurgents in Iraq's Anbar province may be exported Pakistan's lawless frontier lands,The New York Times reports .
If adopted, the proposal would join elements of a shift in strategy that would also be likely to expand the presence of American military trainers in Pakistan, directly finance a separate tribal paramilitary force that until now has proved largely ineffective and pay militias that agreed to fight Al Qaeda and foreign extremists, officials said. The United States now has only about 50 troops in Pakistan, a Pentagon spokesman said, a force that could grow by dozens under the new approach.
The proposal is modeled in part on a similar effort by American forces in Anbar Province in Iraq that has been hailed as a great success in fighting foreign insurgents there. But it raises the question of whether such partnerships, to be forged in this case by Pakistani troops backed by the United States, can be made without a significant American military presence in Pakistan. And it is unclear whether enough support can be found among the tribes, some of which are working with Pakistan's intelligence agency.
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) staff proposal has been circulated to counterterrorism experts, but USSOCOM leadership has not yet approved it. According to anonymous sources that spoke with The Times, the 24-page plan lays out military and nonmilitary incentives to persuade Pakistani tribes to align with U.S. counterterrorism efforts.
A portion of the strategy has already been approved by Pakistan and the United States, but needs funding. The Times reports Pakistan awaits $350 million from the United States to train the Frontier Corps, a paramilitary organization 85,000 members strong, recruited from the country's border tribes. Questions remain about the Frontier Corps' allegiance, as American and NATO troops in Afghanistan allege the paramilitary organization has helped Taliban insurgents mount cross-border attacks.
The article notes the renewed urgency of dealing with al Qaeda in the tribal areas as Pakistan slides into overt authoritarianism and political instability. Counterterrorism and intelligence experts fear the shift will strengthen al Qaeda's firm hold over the tribal areas and make it easier for militants to carry out cross-border attacks against coalition forces in Afghanistan.

It was full steam ahead for the Pirates and their fans as the Mepham community gathered on Oct. 18 to celebrate homecoming and watch the varsity football team defeat Westbury, 52-18.
The party was kicked off by a parade led by grand marshal and former NFL player Amos Zereoue, followed by the school marching band, the cheerleaders and the Pirettes kickline. The homecoming court and the Pirate mascot rode in on the traditional pirate ship, the S.S. Mepham. Colorful floats brought up the rear, including a spooky Halloween-themed entry from the sophomore class. However, it was the seniors' lavish undersea world theme that won the day's contest.
The football team gave the assembled crowd something to smile about, notching 21 unanswered points in the first quarter alone against the Green Dragons. At halftime, after a stirring performance of "God Bless America" by Grand Avenue Middle School seventh-grader Lauren Nilson, the cheerleading and kickline squads displayed impressively athletic routines and recognized their graduating seniors. Kevin Burns literally jumped for joy when his selection as homecoming king was announced, followed by the naming of homecoming queen Lisa Condolucci. The court also included Jessica Bortolussi, Kelly Cates, Jake Friedenberg and Alex Goodstein. King and queen then boarded their pirate ship for one last triumphant tour around the track.

text: Salutations unto Bordermarch, Populace last night was just wonderful. We presented a lovely set of hand crafted, faux-copper-patina candlesticks for the door prize instead of the shoe lace. It seems I still need that shoe lace. Lord Biau was the recipient of the door prize; he was very pleased to have won. I also brought the great medieval wooden screw box for all to enjoy. Lord Thomas looked it over and when I asked him what he thought it was he said, "I don't know, but it has grippy things on it." Several of our members thought it was some sort of finger trap and would not come close to it. Do not forget about the Bordermarch Movie Night Extravaganza tomorrow; all are invited. I understand we will be watching the movie King Henry the fifth, a movie with German subtitles. HE Santiago

Fall 2006
T C 301 • Punishment in a Liberal Society
Course Description
This course will examine the place of punishment in a liberal society. By means of historical,
philosophical, and legal analysis the course will attempt to answer the following fundamental questions with respect to the American criminal justice system:
o On what grounds may the state impose criminal sanctions on the behavior of individuals?
o What are the limitations of and constraints on that power?
o What are the permissible goals of criminal punishment, and by what means is society justified in seeking those goals?
In the process, we will investigate the history of and philosophical justification for so-called "victimless crimes" prohibiting activities such as gambling, drug use, prostitution, assisted suicide, pornography, flag burning, and certain sexual practices. We'll then explore traditional justifications for punishment (e.g., retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation) and the legal processes that have been designed to affect those goals. Students will be challenged to evaluate contemporary systems of punishment for legitimacy, coherence and fairness, as well as compliance with cultural and constitutional constraints. Strategies to be considered include "three strikes" laws, mandatory minimum sentences, determinate sentencing, and guideline sentencing. Particular attention will be directed at contemporary issues such as the war on drugs, the death penalty, and the treatment of juveniles, the mentally retarded, and the mentally ill. Although the course will be particularly useful for those exploring an interest in the study of law, the subject matter is intended to have universal interest and relevance.
Grading Policy
Students will be required to write three analytical essays (6-8 pages each) and a take-home final examination. The essays may be re-written at any time for a new grade, which will be averaged with the initial grade. Class participation is a vital component of this course. A casual and unstructured seminar atmosphere is intended to encourage free and vigorous discussion of potentially controversial subjects, and will benefit from openness and a willingness to examine and challenge personal beliefs and those of classmates. Registration in this course implies an intention to attend faithfully and be a contributing member of this enterprise.
Three analytical essays: 60%
Final examination: 15%
Class participation: 25%

text: 53 Homicides, 224 Shot and Wounded in August in Rahm's Chicago Print article Send a Tip by Rebel Pundit 6 Sep 2013 post a comment No matter how Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Superintendant Garry McCarthy spin it by touting overall crime being down in the city, the numbers for 2013 are still horrifying. The website HeyJackass.com, which keeps some pretty interesting data regarding Chicago crime statistics, reports that the city saw 53 homicides in August, with 41 deaths and 224 wounded as a result of shootings. The August crime wave ended on a tragic note, with 11 people shot and killed over Labor Day weekend; more than 25 more were shot and wounded. For September to date, there are already seven shooting homicides with another 29 people wounded. The city crime data portal shows that murders and shootings are down, but only when compared to 2012. When compared to 2011, the number of murders is almost identical. HeyJackass.com shows a total 309 homicides for 2013, and things don't seem to be getting any better. Follow @RebelPundit on Twitter.
