The Cult's very own Melting Pot Celebration!
Usually they're fresh. Since it is pork, fried would be a nice touch. I like fried, so it's your call.
I was thinking of fried, too. I'm not a fan of fresh onion, so I guess I'll just fry the onion and meat together and then add the rest of the things. I'll report back after lunch.
Cool. I'm hungry and now I want tacos. I forgot to eat before work because I was running late after my softball game. I just enough time to let SIn out, shower and get the chicken sammich out of the fridge I made earlier and then come to work. Atr least I have that sammich for later.
Edit: Oops, this isn't the food thread.
Minus one point for using the word hip. And it hasn't even started to go away anymore than the 'Upvote if you're listening in 2012' youtube comments. Atheism is in as long as being in is derived from the majority, who are amateurs, and ten thousand seventeen year olds turn seventeen and a half everyday and decide on a new doctrine that will collapse in a week, with nothing to do but to youtube comment about it. Even Reddit hates reddit/atheism. It's just boring, really, because if you really did care you'd want to be as far away from the majority as possible when figuring on things, you'd want to be scientific and practical, and if you had an interest in arguing the logical you'd have no interest in arguing for or against religion. So you're left with the same kind of dickheads pressing a broken point, a beaten horse, from two different angles. The same dickhead talking atheism and the same dickhead pressing religion, and both of them talking the same thing.
It'll just keep going. The way it sits now, though, it seems that those of religiosity have more integrity, on the whole. They're the ones who seem, right here and now, in my life and in the internets I visit, to be capable of shutting up about it when it doesn't fit the context of a conversation.
Any time that religion is un-contextually broughton in to a conversation, it was an atheist responsible. And this is the thing that, as an atheist, separates me from atheists. When I was eight years old I thoroughly believed that religion was so stupid that it should never be brought up again by anyone who wanted to be taken seriously. Yet every philosopher talks about it. They can't leave it alone.
The only person to beat me at chess, other than my dad, was a priest. Chess is logic, but faith overrides logic, while being at the same time built by logic; logic with a leap of faith. It's paradoxical. The ongoing and neverending religious debate that has been on the internet since I have is boring. That's my stance on religion vs atheism. The discussion is boring. Give me a Christian who can dance and an atheist who can build a birdhouse.
If I was religious, though, I would hope to express myself exactly as PGoutis01 did, and to the word, so plus fifteen points to that nigga.
My nigga.

Yum yum, the tortillas were delicious. We made them with minced pork, salsa, garlic, onions and cheese and they were great.
Last night I made my own enchilada sauce from scratch, y'all. It was easy and cheaper than buying it for $2 in a can, so I'm never going to buy it premade again. I felt like a real half Mexican for a little bit instead of the poser I usually feel like when I talk about my Mexicaness.
Yay for the both of you!

Good stuff on Romania, Irina.
I speak regularly with Romanian people at work, never had to complain about any of them.
we don´t really have the reputation but german food can be awesome too.
This week is the German week at Lidl and all I could notice was that everything was potato-based. They even had these potato dumplings filled with Mozart chocolates.
But seriously now, I love the sausages and the pretzels (which are very popular around here, even filled with various things such as sausages, apple, cheese or chocolate), and let's not forget the Black Forest cake. Fabulous.
I've had German chocolate cake but apparently even THAT is really from Texas.
Spaetzel.
This is why we can't have nice things.
That's true. Also, the German Chocolate Cake shot is probably the best shot I've ever had. It tastes exactly like it. It was made in Texas, I think.

Pica! That beet dish in the first pic..... What is that called? My Polish Grandmother made that a few times for me and I'm in love with it! I am trying to get recipes from my biological Dad, but we aren't on the greatest terms right now, so not sure I will get it. My Grandmother passed a few years back and he is my only way of getting these recipes. I've really want to embrace my Polish heritage, food wise lately. I love to cook and I want to introduce my kids to some of these delicious foods.
Whatever Whore!
that is german "Sauerbraten" marinaded in vinegar-herb based sauce served with dumplings and red cabbage. it´s one of my all-time favorites and i will serve it for christmas when my french family comes over.
sauerbraten:
3 pounds beef rump roast
2 large onions, chopped
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white sugar
10 whole cloves, or more to taste
2 bay leaves, or more to taste
2 tablespoons flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 gingersnap cookies, crumbled
place beef rump roast, onions, vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, sugar, cloves, and bay leaves in a large pot or seal it in a freezer bag ( does´t use so much space ! ). refrigerate for at least 2 ,3 days, turning meat daily. remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels, reserving marinade.
season flour to taste with salt and black pepper in a bowl. sprinkle flour mixture over beef.
heat vegetable oil in a large pot over high heat; cook beef until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. pour reserved marinade over beef, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. simmer until beef is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove beef to a platter and slice.
take the roast from the marinade, add crumbled cookies ( or two slices of dark wheat bread, crumbled ), let it reduce a bit more and filter it through a sieve to get a nice creamy sauce. add a handful of raisins to get a little fruity flavor.
red cabbage:
2 tablespoons butter
5 cups shredded red cabbage
1 cup sliced green apples
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup white sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
place butter, cabbage, apples, and sugar into a large pot. pour in the vinegar and water, and season with salt, pepper, and clove.
bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the cabbage is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. best prepared a day before. reheated it comes to full flavor.
dumplings:
9 medium potatoes, peeled (preferably mealy ones )
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
two slices of toast, 1 teaspoon butter
place the potatoes in a large pot with lightly salted water ( for a bit of extra flavor you can add some caraway seed and two bay leaves ). bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. drain water, and place potatoes into a large bowl. mash potatoes, leaving them slightly lumpy, mix in the salt, eggs, flour, and nutmeg. take two slices of white toast , cut them into little squares and fry them crispy with a little butter. now make sure you have wet hand for forming the dumplings. form flat round palm sized pieces, put a few toast squares in the middle, close the dough around them and roll into tennis ball sized balls. If the dough is too sticky, you may want to mix in more flour. you can roll the dumplings in food starch before boiling that will give and extra silky surface.
bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. gently drop the dumplings into the water. when they come up to the surface, allow them to boil uncovered for 4-5 minutes. remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, serve immediately. should always be served fresh made, reheated they tend to become a bit hard.
GUTEN APPETIT !
I liek saurbraten.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Thank you Pica!!!
Whatever Whore!
you´re welcome. let me know when you tried it.
Your turn, Imke.
Pardon my dishevelled look, I've got no classes today and couldn't be bothered to put on make-up or anything. This was actually a good lesson why when I get a laptop I should never use the webcam - I make too many faces.
Okay yup. Adorable like kittens playing.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
Okay thanks. We have a variety of cheese similar to chihuahua, so I guess I'll be using that. Fresh onions or fried?
