Carne Asada

Tonight for dinner we had carne asada, and pollo asado a la parrilla (which is grilled chicken). I put both the meats in a tortilla with pinto beans, salsa, and Red Roster Louisiana Hot Sauce, which in my opinion is the best hot sauce there is. It was all satisfying. The dinner got a 8.6/10 rating.

Bolognese Ragu

Tonight for dinner we had Bolognese Ragu, arugula salad, and polenta which did not make it on my plate. The pasta was very rich and meaty, and was excellent, but the salad I was somewhat disappointed, as my dad went a bit overboard on the parmensan cheese. The dinner got a 8.3/10 rating.

Maui Beef Ribs

Tonight for dinner we had Maui beef ribs, and chicken fried rice. The beef ribs tasted excellent, but the texture of the meat was very gamy and fatty. The fried rice was good, nothing special. The dinner got a 7.8/10 rating.

Burgers and Fries

Tonight for dinner we had burgers and fries. The meat for the burgers was from Bob's Market, which is a excellent place to buy any type of meat. I keep on telling my Mom that we have to get a deep fryer, because I am sick eating frozen crinkle cut fries. The dinner got a 8.5/10 rating.

Black Pasta

Tonight for dinner we had black pasta with red sauce. Thats right, black pasta, which is normal pasta with 2% squid ink. At first I thought that it would taste the same as normal pasta, but it did have a strange taste to it, and the texture was very weird, almost like Jello. We also had garlic bread and salad which where better than the black pasta. The dinner got a 6/10 rating.

Fried Chicken

This evening for dinner we had fried chicken and corn bread. Both of these items where from Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, and where both excellent. The dinner got a 7.4/10 rating due to early dinning time.

Vote For Ketchup

Over the last couple of weeks, my mom and I have been getting in to a bit of a debate over ketchup. Tonight, this debate was brought up during dinner at a friends house. Here is what the debate is all about. I'm a purist when it comes to ketchup, and I feel that the only type of ketchup to even consider purchasing is Heinz. My mom on the other hand has a different opinion on this, and feels that buying organic ketchup is the right thing to do, and they taste the same. The tasting the same thing is what really gets me irritated because it is not true. The organic ketchup taste like canned tomatoes drizzled with vinegar, while the Heinz tastes like a true ketchup. Also is the texture. Most organic ketchup's are far to thick and creamy, while the Heinz has a smooth and saucy feel to it. I am going to post a poll, and please vote on your opinion.
