The Food Thread

[DiG]

Draft night! Whats everyone spread looking like? I was ready to do some grilling but last minute change of plans and were heading to the bar instead which likely means burgers, wings, and nachos.

I'm stuck at work for the early part of it... BUT! This evening marks the start of student research presentations, featuring mostly the Hospitality & Tourism people. Which means free food for McGee! Lamb, shrimp, salmon, pita, desserts, ... awesome.

Trader Joe's Chips and Salsa for me. I've got salsa verde and pineapple salsa. Also got a little package of chocolate cookie type things.

I think I'm just keeping it simple and getting like two pounds of Buffalo Wings tonight.

Pano's catering?

[SuperMcGee]

No, it's all made by the students. Which is cool, I know a bunch of people in Hospitality.

I grilled up a few chicken breasts tonight and chopped em up to make some dank quesadillas. Fresh pico de gallo and some black bean salsa with some chipotle mayo and sour cream to top it off. Epic. best quesos Ive ever had if I do say so myself.

Has anyone tried grilled pizza before? Thinking about making it for lunch tomorrow afternoon.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Barbeque chicken quesodilla is sexy.

One of my favorites snacks ever:

Tostitos Scoops
1 can Turkey Chili
Shredded Cheese
Potatoes (Boiled, usually skip this step since it's the longest one)

Place scoops in bowl (one layer)
fill scoops with chili
place cheese over chili
work on next layer (same way)
Microwave for 2.5 mins

Eat.

Pretty much a gimme at my place while watching sports
Use a spoon/fork once the chips become too soggy to use as a scoop

[Bosanac01]

I just made these



and they were pretty good.

All the time, love it!

Are you using a raw dough? Or store bought pre-made? Either is fine really. If you are using raw dough, one trick is to warm up you evoo in the microwave for about 30 secs before you put it on the dough. It'll help it stick better. I will usually throw a little garlic in the evoo when I warm it up. Then I'll use it for the dough and the grill. Also remember not to load it up to much with stuff. That'll help it cook more even. Also, if you can find the freshest Mozzarella you can to use, all the better. Fresh, it will absorb that smoke soooo much better and it'll just turn out badass. lol

Well I think that was a little harsh. Im just too lazy to type out "extra virgin olive oil".

[Nalej]

I had no idea what EVOO was haha... thought it was a typo until I saw him use it again.
Then I was lost lol

[General Zod]

Its actually been a standard abbreviation for it in cookbooks long before that dumb ***** made it one of her little catch phrases.

[Nalej]

I've never seen RR so I was unaware of that.
I wasn't trying to clown you for using the abbreviation.
and now I know though...
I've probably just skipped the olive oil in prior recipes since I didn't know what EVOO stood for lol

I was just giving you a hard time because I hate that ***** so much.

[General Zod]

Ah its all good, at least we are all in agreement then that RR sucks.

Bourdain would be so proud of us. lol

Pre-made, I think. Not entirely sure, sort of just winging it at lunch time today. Thanks for the tips though.
