I been cooking, trying to eat a bit better. I'm guilty of fast food. Everyone always tells me how FF burns a hole in your wallet......
Not mine? And calculating the costs up, an average home cooked meal is around $7-8 for me, which is on par or even more expensive than a fast food/takeout meal. I do think it's a misnomer that you really save that much money cooking on your own. Could be my neck of the woods too.
Anyways, I been cooking lots and lots of fish. I always liked fish more than chicken or beef. My apartment, the stove is older and the burners are pretty guess work as to how hot they are, but the oven works good. Fish is super easy to cook. Pan, oven, toke, eat.
Was in supermarket and I was looking for some sort of spice, and saw @Ed's TnT favorite the Tony Chachere! I got the more spice! This stuff really is quite good, good flavor, not too spicy but definitely spicy.
Really good. Lemon juice on top of fish, butter on top of fish, Tony Chacheres, bake 375 for 20 minutes, bon appetit! Fish falls apart
I got a bunch of Tilapia this week. Good, not as good as the catfish. Made some asian style with some sauce and seasonings, was OK. Not the worst not the best, prefer creole - the asian would of been better on salmon or something. Idk just not enough OOMPH to the flavors and the Tilapia was pretty mild.
But made a pan with old bay made pan with tony's and eating good this week!
To my earlier point, while comparable in price, home cooked food is just a lot better and healthier and tastes way danker than fast food LOL. I've been working out like crazy and this is some serious power food....I don't have an ounce scale (lol) but my fillets are all about the same size. I got 10 fillets which equaled 3 lbs on their scale, or 48 ounces. Using the internet average of 24g of protein per 3 oz piece of Tilapia, each 4.8 ounce fillet is 38.4g of proteinand I tend to eat two! The catfish, those are each 10 oz fillets about and had 50 g per fillet (less than the tilapia per meal cause I can only eat 1)
I've been doing this about a week while also running a lot and there is a noticeable uptick in my well being and health and all that jazz and I feel really healthy/alert/energized. Gonna make either lemon pepper this next week or garlic butter or some amalgamation of them both.

It took you that long to realize what the green/red thing on the table was for?

Churrascarias are great but there are very few around here on the west coast. You know it's good if they serve real Guaraná (the good Antartica stuff, not the swill that comes from Kuat) and Skol cerveja.
I went to the only one around here last week and had to pay an extra $20 for the picanha; but it was well worth it. Always ask for the picanha!
