For the first time in a while, my brother came over and I was able to cook for him this past Sunday. I posted a status on facebook asking people "whatchew want for lunch?" My good friend, Dayna Furnish said she wanted a mushroom swiss burger. (I now owe Dayna, Scott and Stephen a meal.) However, I decided to try something a little different with my leftover churizo so we made some swiss mushroom churizo burgers to watch during the Texans vs Steelers game. They were pretty good. Clare thought they were delicious; I think they will be better the next time I make them. We ate all but one patty, and the Texans won. That patty, I decided ,was a very lucky patty. Eat it, and they probably would have lost...who knows?!
I put it in the fridge to save for a future date. With an evening meeting at the Archdiocese tonight, I found this afternoon the perfect time to create a churizo slider. I warmed the patty and split it in half between two small rolls (seen above). They look like a little alien from Batteries Not Included AND have a kick and flavor that is certainly OUT OF THIS WORLD. Happy Plate (yes, that's the Hercules plate from McDonalds with Meg on it...)!!!
Kublai Khan with my friends Kristin and Scott. This unique restaurant allows you to pick all the ingredients for a "special" stir fry experience.
Today I mixed some beef with marinated tilapia, an egg, vegetables (squah, zucchini, bean sprouts, and some other stuff) and their coconut curry spice. I'm unfamiliar with curry and some of the spices they have available, so I tried mixing and matching. The food was good and decently priced (althought our waitress had an issue charging me for too many bowls). Some interesting facts: You can order from the menu if you're not feeling creative, most of the clientele was of the male variety, and they offer "cheat sheets" for different types of stir fry.
Happy plate (because I took some of it home. Hey, it was a big serving)!
