Reviews/Comments

Sometimes the simplest meals are the tastiest. A fried egg with processed cheese on a toasted sesame bagel might not be the healthiest, but people eat worse things, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I make perfect eggs. Gets a 9.

Also, I miss Carrie Weeks. A lot. Boooo :(

Pasta & Garlic Cheese Bread

Day 203

Otherwise known as leftovers with a side of garlic bread.

Pasta & Garlic Cheese Bread

Reviews/Comments

The eggplant basil sauce wasn't quite as good as it was fresh, and we also had it with shells instead of bowties...and I slightly overcooked the pasta. The bread was awesome. Overall, a 7. Laura gives it a 7, too, so we're on the same page.

Beer Battered Avocado Tacos

Day 203

Sobey's only had rotten avocados left yesterday, so I headed over to Atlantic SuperStore for my groceries tonight. Ran into my buddy, Gisele, and told her what I planned on making and I believe she approved. She even offered to donate the beer for the project, but I went to the liquor store for it since it was closer. Still, super nice gesture - thanks Gisele!

Beer Battered Avocado Tacos

Original recipe here
Way easy to make. Washing and drying the produce seemed to take the most time. Chopped the lettuce and tomato. The avocado had to be peeled and sliced.

Taco Ingredients

6 taco shells
2 avocados, sliced

Avocados

Beer Batter

1 cup flour
1 cup beer
2 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp Sriracha

Featuring Molson Canadian beer, this batter was super easy and fast to make. I followed the original recipe to a T but doubled it.

The batter was fairly thick and coated the avocado well. I heated the fat to medium high and fried each avocado slice about 3 or 4 minutes, turning once. Drank the remainder of the beer while frying (optional, but highly recommended, and I know my buddy Gisele would agree).

Avocado frying

Serve With

1 tomato
3 leaves Romaine lettuce
1 lime
Salsa
Sour cream

We filled the tacos with the tomato, lettuce and avocado. We squeezed the lime over the veggies and had the salsa and sour cream on the side.

These were awesome. I give them a 9.5. I think they would have been even better with cilantro and a more Southwestern salsa, like the kind with beans and corn in it. But, that's just me...I'm sure Laura would disagree.

Laura: "I don't know if I ever want regular tacos again!" and also, "Um...a 42. I rate them a 42. As in the answer to life, the universe and everything."

Eggplant Basil Bowties

Day 203

Eggplant is my new favorite thing. This dish is similar to the one we had in April, but with no red pepper, therefore, I didn't think it deserved the nightshade name. There are four cubes of basil/olive oil, and an entire eggplant, along with coarsely chopped onion and mushrooms, minced garlic and three cubed tomatoes. It's made the same way though, using balsamic vinegar and sugar and served with parmesan.

Eggplant Basil Bowties

Ingredients below:

Chopped eggplant (salted and draining), chopped mushrooms, onion, garlic, four cubes of basil, parmesan and three tomatoes.

Whole foods

Put everything in a pot, following the directions from last time, and cook for about 15 or 20 minutes. The pic captured more steam than food, didn't it?

So good. I rate it a 9. No awesome garlic bread to bump it to a 10 as a meal tonight, but it was still satisfying and delicious.

Laura: 8 1/2 or 9...if we had some nice, crusty Italian garlic bread it would have been a 9 1/2 or 10. It was very good.
