I can't help lazy or not wanting to do the cooking! :-)

This. It is a nice beer though

any rigatoni makers here? i always change up my sauce with either sweet italian sausage or spicy and make them as nearly crispy meatballs. I'm not a fan of shredded up meat sauce
[Reply]

I like both meatballs and meat sauce. With rigatoni, I prefer meat sauce so the meat gets in the tubes.

Spent the morning sealing my deck, so said fuck it for lunch.

Allow me to present fried giardiniera. Some are better than others, but seek it out if you're in Chicago.

Never had it or even heard of it before, but that looks great
[Reply]

Ooooooh, FUCK YOU.

You want me dead, don't you?

What's next deep fried poison dipped Wagyu?
[Reply]

You've likely had it on your Portillo's Italian beefs. It's the hot Italian relish, pickled veg, deep fried.
[Reply]

Right, I know what giardiniera is... just never seen it fried before, bet its excellent

I could knock out two of those
[Reply]

This place does a good job of bunching several pieces together before frying, but you can kind of see in the bottom left of the basket a sole pearl onion. Fuck me, if I ever tire of drowning in pussy, I'll eat a tub of just those like popcorn everyday.

I put it on practically everything (the non-fried, jarred kind). If I used a purse, I'd carry some around with me.

I'm going comfort food tonight...

Country style fried chicken breasts

Scratch mac n cheese with a nice mix of cheeses, 5 blend Mexican style, provolone, American, and Swiss

Frozen green beans with sauteed bacon and onion

I'm a big fan of Giardiniera in eggs and on hash browns [or even better, tator tots].
[Reply]

It's a must on eggs for me. Can't believe I've never thought of tator tots before. Hard to beat a sausage with giard though. Here's me as Ramsay Snow.
