double down @ 1:25 pm
This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun!

I went to KFC with 6 guys and we all ordered Double Downs, which I had not heard of before today. Amazingly, I did not feel sick after eating mine.

garbanzo @ 8:49 pm

Too lazy to defrost and cook meat, but wanted meaty tomato sauce with my pasta. Solution: 1 can of chick peas, boiled and then mashed up + half a can of Prego. It worked out pretty well.

food experiences this week @ 4:18 pm

The good:

  • Fried sausage wontons which taste really good cold
  • Sauteed combination of zucchini and potato cubes, leftover frozen broccoli florets, salt, pepper and rosemary

The bad:

  • Finishing an entire slice of peculiar-tasting cheddar before I realized it was actually “pasteurized process cheese.”

best dinner ever @ 7:53 am

We had sixth people at dinner last night! The most ever. Sam and Katie and I make Chicken Tikka Masala (minus coriander: too expensive) and Palek Paneer (with queso blanco substituted for paneer), both which came out surprisingly well. I think we’re getting the hang of this cooking thing. We done almost every recipe in my cookbook, plus a noodle stir fry and burritos.

I also learned how to play Texas Hold ‘Em last night, and started reviewing vocabulary with my GRE flashcards.

ratty indian food sauce recipe @ 7:11 pm

For days like today, when your dining hall is serving Thanksgiving dinner for the the 4th time in the past month and a half, I have concocted Natalia’s Ratty Indian Food Sauce, my attempt to recreate the sauce that comes with Chicken Tikka Masala. It haven’t quite got the flavor right, but it is still pretty delicious with rice. The ingredients are:

  • Meatless tomato sauce (from the Italian station)
  • Yogurt (from the salad bar)
  • Garlic, chili powder, curry powder, onion powder and salt (from the spice counter)
  • 3/4 of a little packet of half-and-half (from the coffee area of the beverage station)

All the portions are improvised every time. It helps to heat it all up at the end because the yogurt makes the sauce cold, and to mix everything very thoroughly. Also, don’t use too much curry powder, because then it will taste like dirt, or too much chili powder, especially if it is not mild chili powder, because then it will be too spicy. I haven’t managed to put too much garlic in yet.
