Torgo Bowls

Taco meat, 1 lb. I use the little pre-made chubbies from the grocery store or gas station. Chorizo, 1 package. I use the really greasy soft stuff that comes in a chubby and has all the structural integrity of an overripe banana. Assorted peppers – I use a couple of serrano and a jalapeno or… Read More »

Shakshuka

I had shakshuka for breakfast today. The recipe was a modified version of The Mediterranean Dish's recipe. Suzy has a pile of good recipes, and the ones I’ve tried have never been bad. I highly recommend her site and her YouTube channel. The main difference between her recipe and my attempt is I added some… Read More »

Stacie’s Out of Town…

You know what that means. I’ll give in to my base instincts! Which, as we’ve discussed before, involve robots, space monsters, monkeys, spaceships, rayguns, and the food to feed my Mighty Brain. Some of those are Monkey Business, so I cover them on Devil Monkey (Planning a relaunch in July), but some of it you… Read More »

Bluto’s Breakfast

By Patrick MurphyPosted on February 26, 2023February 25, 2023Cat FoodTags Breakfast, Budget, Diabetic, Easy, MeatLeave a comment

This meal was inspired by one of a local diner's breakfast specials. As I may have mentioned, I wound up in the hostibule again last month. Part of the recovery process involves a high-protein diet; I have a couple of open wounds on my knee where the giant pocket of infection was draining. A few… Read More »

Caravan Lunch From Fallout: New Vegas

I get bored. I'm also on a restricted diet, being diabetic. On top of that, I'm a project manager and all-around numbers and analysis guy. Put these together and I do something that makes my doctors very happy. When they ask what I think my carb count was at any given meal, I can usually… Read More »

Story Time: Tartar Sauce On Burgers

By Patrick MurphyPosted on January 8, 2023January 8, 2023Cat Food, Story TimeTags Condiments, Easy, Fast FoodLeave a comment

This one is going to be short, simply because there isn't much to it. TL;DR: "I didn't take cultural differences into account and made a Discovery. Said Discovery was that tartar sauce is delicious on burgers." About 20 or 25 years ago, I was screwing around downtown. While waiting for my bus home, I decided… Read More »

When the wife is away, the Patrick makes the food she hates. She has a show today, so I made a big vat of sauerkraut and pork with mashed potatoes and extra-mushroomy gravy on the side. The "recipe" is ridiculously simple. 2 8oz pork chops6 pre-cooked brats (I used Johnsonville Stadium Brats, but there are… Read More »

I saw this recipe while surfing the web the other day, and since Stacie’s out of town I figured I’d give it a shot. If we don’t count the one that started with nine different vegetables and looked like a royal pain in the nether regions to make, there were several versions online with the… Read More »

Mozzarella Bruschetta Flatbread

By Patrick MurphyPosted on June 28, 2021June 28, 2021Cat FoodTags Budget, Diabetic, Easy, ItalianLeave a comment

This was inspired by my hostibule lunch on Tuesday. Flatbread, cheese (I think cheddar and mozzarella), herbs, and thin-sliced tomatoes. It was good, but they kept it tame for the general audience. For my version, I upgraded the tomato component to bruschetta. The flatbread I used was a round pita, and I used regular sliced… Read More »
