Wegmans sounds like this store called hyvee in the Midwest.

they used to be regular now they got like 20 different delis in them and all sorts of stuff, I don’t really shop there though, they treat their employees poorly.

aldis are popping up in the twin cities like crazy in all neighborhoods but rich ones.

I always do hot sauce on frozen pizzas or stuff like Dominos. Never done it at “good” spots though.

Stuffed cabbage from scratch for dinner:

Covered with more sauce and put them in the oven to finish up.

Yes/no; Explain.

Again, for really good pizza? Yes.

The sauce tends to pick up the slack on a pie in terms of flavor, but pizza needs the right texture above all else.

When pizza is great and all components are in alignment I never find myself wanting for pepperoni or any other topping.

 

[tay1]

Standard mozzarella? Nah. Toppings elevate pizza. Less is more doesn’t always apply. Plain cheese pizza isn’t worth my time

 

[SC kid]

If I order a slice I'll get a plain cheese.

But a whole circle I need more

a good margherita pizza is tough to beat

Would that really be considered the same as a cheese pizza though? The basil changes that IMO.

I am also wondering if being a NYer increases the likelihood of you preferring a cheese pizza over the rest.

 

[thapointguy]

I need more flavors on my pizza. I wouldn't turn down a free slice of cheese pizza though.

Most pizza is cheese pizza. The other stuff is just different toppings.

Unless you thinking of other options like white sauce instead of tomato or some vegan **** or Chicago pizza cake.

I can appreciate a good cheese slice but when given the option, I’ll ALWAYS add pepperoni. I’ll add sausage and garlic every now and then but it isn’t necessary.

 

[plansb]

I usually always order cheese, sometimes pepperoni

 

[Grine]

So I went to Gioletti.

Cool spot, the price for a small was $3 Euro. Cheap.However, they only let you sample one item, but then you have to pay in order to sample anything else.

The guy and I was going at it for a minute - you want me to pay for something I don’t know if I’ll like

Marinated chicken thighs in soy sauce, garlic and adobo sauce. Browned the chicken then cooked down the marinate until a gravy like consistency. I forgot to add sugar and vinegar but the chicken was really good. Will become a regular dish for me

Chicken, collards and Spanish rice

Yea man, any type of stewed chicken is so east and simple but you jave so many different varieties of IT. Crry, Brown Stew, Adobo. I was going to do more curry this week but your option sounds good. I just need Adobo sauce and Knowing me, I will use gingers as well.


Nouss he is matching you.

 

[SC kid]

that looks delicious tay

 

[Grine]

I found this recommendation and walked through the hood of Rome Everything was nice and lit up - next thing you know, blocks and blocks of alley’s with graffiti and no lights. This chick asked me if I wanted “company” tonight.

Trattoria AI Romani - just so happened I am talking with the host about pork. Found out he’s Muslim. Called the chef over and he surprised me.

I want to say, these were ox tails

Spicy bread

Ginger will definitely make a good addition. I would like to incorporate it more but I find myself never using it all

Thanks. I actually followed a chicken adobo recipe and decided to include the adobo pepper sauce on my own but I forgot the sugar and vinegar

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I THINK I asked you this but when you make your Adobo chicken, why don't you use skinless/boneless thighs? You just prefer the skin and bone-in?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

tay1 - Ginger in/on EVERYTHING man

I just load up on fresh ginger whenever I go to the Hispanic Market. I put it in smoothies, stir-fry, just made some "juice" as well.

I added Turmeric, Lime, Cayenne Pepper.

I don't add sugar though.



M Mark Antony , I also add this as the liquid base of my Curry Chicken.

 

[SC kid]

Yea.

Also sometimes ill sautee it after.

A perfect spoon of chicken adobo for me is white rice, lil bit of chicken, lil bit of skin, and sauce.

 

[Master Zik]

My go to is usually a regular slice but if ordering a pie I add bacon, maybe extra cheese.
