my GF seems to love to throw away perfectly good food....i dont get it......

potato skins! the best part of the spud, and it has the most nutrients, yet she throws them away........AAAAUGGGHHH!!!!!

soak em in briny water overnight, then drain water as much as possible.




heat up a DEEP cast iron pan with 2lbs lard. (yea thats right , i said LARD! pure fricking PIG FAT! anyonehas a problem with that can go live in the desert with the rest of the camel jockeys!) (YEA, i said that too!)




drain and toss in a bowl of salt. then "crisp" them in the oven for 10 minutes r so.

did someone say chilli?

Interesting idea...chili on rice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

cheese too

I use a lot of cheese on my chili.

Anyone else put Mild Yellow Mustard in their chili (not an ingredient, but on top right before you eat it)?

The first time I ate chili on rice was in VietNam and I learned to love it - especially with lots of cheese on top! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

We never ate fish or rice when I was growing up. My mother later told me it was because my father wouldn't touch the stuff after coming back from Vietnam.

The rice I ate over there was from a mess-hall set up at an artillery base we were at for a few weeks. I would not touch the locals' cooking! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />

I asked my father about it years later, and he made some comment about how as a Recon Marine he frequently ate things in the field that he shouldn't have.

By the way Tom, thank you for your service.

Thanks for the thought, and I hope you expressed the same to your father! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Many many times.
