Made some orange chicken for dinner tonight. One of my favorite recipes.

 

Meatloaf, smashed red potatoes and some haricot verts.

 

That meat loaf looks pretty plain. onions? Crackers? Nothin?

also is haricot verts a fancy name for green beans?

 

Yes on the green beans. Maybe different variety. Thinner I guess

 

I stand corrected.
doesn't look like it has much in it.

Try some fried asparagus in olive oil. I find them better than green beans.

 

French green beans. They are a slightly thinner variety

 

it's pretty funny....we get along around here like 78 rats and 87 snakes trapped in a dumpster....but we are all united in harmony when it comes to stuffing our faces with food

 

Unless someone is making something that looks like dogfood for their dinner, can we agree on that too?

 

well, there is one poster here who would love the dogfood entre

 

I'm just trying to not get booted off the forum because I created a second account names 'Gordon Ramsey' so I can tell everyone that their food pics look like a dogs dinner.

 

That looks great. The teriyaki joint down the street from me does orange chicken and theirs has carrot and onion in it too. That's the first time I had seen carrot and onion in orange chicken. I guess it's actually pretty normal?

 

It just happened to be what we had on hand, and I didnt feel like going to the store. I've often seen it with broccoli

 

I've kind of gotten into volunteering a lot since the shutdown. Helping to start a food bank and trying to keep the youth club I normally run active. It feels pretty good to contribute and get out of my own head.

Also listening to a ton of audiobooks now when I walk my dog. I was listening to lots of podcasts, and realized the political and economic nature of many of them was kind of depressing me. I've listened to Dune, The Great Gatsby, and some George RR Martin in the past couple weeks. So much more fun to listen to. Audible is offering The Hospital for free, and that one kicked ass if you like zombie stories.

 

You know what they say about meat loaf. Don't let your meat loaf.
Haricot verts are longer and more slender with more flavor than ordinary string beans. They are French green beans.

 

Meatloaf is perfect from Marcondas. Great butcher shop. Was only 15 bucks for the whole loaf.

 

I just fucking destroyed a witness in a zoom deposition. I think they were intimidated by this monstrous stache. I might have to keep it now
