I've found a new favorite condiment for on sandwiches.  Instead of gobs of mayo on my turkey sandwiches for lunch, I tried a tablespoon of pesto sauce.  Freaking amazing!  Lots of flavor, good fats in the olive oil, and only about 60 calories per tbsp instead of 100 for mayo.

avacado or guac is pretty good too.

My god that would be sooooo horrible for you though :lol:

Sort of like pork rinds but with chicken skin instead.  Chicken rinds.

Pork rinds contain silicon dioxide. Isn't that sand?

Slice them in half long-ways, drizzle a little maple syrup on each half, and broil for a couple of minutes.  Unbelievable.

various squash can be prepared the same way. they have stickers on them telling you how to do it. ive been doing it recently. you can even microwave them

my problem is the skin is my favorite part. One of the great things about living here is the Latin American/Salvadorian chicken places- best rotisserie I've ever had

yes. the place i like is peruvian i think (chicken tortilla near navy yard).  and it was cheap as crap chicken, corn, black beans, rice for two people for two nights. for lik 10 bucks. i cant cook that for that cheap.  it was some teaser deal and i got grandfathered in with the guy who worked there because i bought that for dinner once a week and ate there for lunch once or twice a week. then i stopped working at the navy yard and they got rid of the deal and changed their personnel

We've got a crapload of rotisserie chicken joints here in the 'hood...aside from the old stalwarts (Granja de Oro, Pollo Campero, etc) we've got "Cluck U", "Little Peckers", and "Senor Chicken"...awesome.

I actually like KFC's "grilled" chicken, though it tastes a little like rotisserie to me.  $3.95 for a thigh and drumstick, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans for 395 calories is probably one of the best fast food meals around.  Surely not "healthy" as far as what's actually in it nutritionally, but from a purely weight loss diet standpoint, that's a damn good lunch and at a reasonable calorie load.

One thing I've always wondered though, why the hell is their gravy brown?

Quick and easy Puerto Rican tostones recipe from the banana.org site:


4 Green Plantain type
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold water

2 fresh minced garlic cloves
3 tbsp. Olive Oil

Slice the plantains at a 45 degree angle to make oval shaped slices about 1/2 inch thick. Soak them overnight (about 6-8 hours) in a flat pan in the salted water covered in the refrigerator. Next day, drain all the water (don't rinse), then pat dry with a paper towel till sticky/dry. In a mixing bowl with a rubber spatula, gently toss together the slices with the garlic and Olive Oil till completely coated. Allow to rest for 1 hour, then heat a nonstick sautee pan on medium-high. Pour in 1/2 of the mixture including 1/2 the Olive oil into the pan at a time. Spread out slices so they make contact with the pan surface to brown. Allow to sizzle and cook till each slice gets a light brown, then turn once to brown the other side. Remove after both sides are browned, and turn onto a paper towel or mesh drain rack, and repeat with other 1/2 of mixture. Serve warm.

This recipe is delicious. I've seen so many variations, but I can tell you that the Señora that I learned it from was straight from Puerto Rico, so this is authentic Casero Style.

I like hardboiled eggs pickled in beet juice, also deviled eggs are good.

The problem with hard boiled eggs are the farts.  :spaz:

I'm a fan of eggs in general.  Hard boiled is one of my favorite ways to prepare them though.  Then peel and put a little salt on them and smother with black pepper.
