No, I say go for any kind of meal, just as long as you make it yourself.
The way I look at it, if it is made by a TCer, its a Tiki meal!

Typical breakfast - Butterball turkey-bacon, Yukon potatoes, tons of ground pepper and big splash of hot sauce. Toast & coffee were too shy & backed outta the photo. Should have pancakes in another 'pan w/real maple syrup, but it's too much to do @ 4:30AM every morning...

Crap, now I'm late!

MadDogMike, that looks like a spread, glad you broke out the smoker, I loves me the smoker, I did not want to rub it in (a Pitmaster Joke)
But I will be smoking up some heaven on a plate, soon. Pulled Pork, sounds good.

I have been perfecting my Pho, it is such a simple dish, but to make it well, takes a bit of skill.

Nice thread ATP - I've got a couple for you:

I made some cocktail weenies last night (and some brushcetta peaking out in the corner) - people can't believe the sauce is just Heinz Chili sauce and grape jelly... tikilicious:

And here's a miniature breakfast I made for our miniature dog:


heheh!

It's Crab Season over here- for these few weeks you can get fresh Dungeness at $2.99/lb and under. It's always a cause for celebration...that translates into buying loads of it, spending hours cooking and cracking and a few minutes eating.

Dinner: Crab & Basmati rice w/butter, garlic, lemon, salt&pepper, mustard greens with garlic and soy sauce

Breakfast: Crabby Patties! Eaten too quickly to photo the side sauce of Sriracha and Lemonnaise.

And, Cookies! (well, fer lookin, anyhow- they're fake!)

Chilaquila: tortilla chips (plain) in layers with free-range chicken strips, bell peppers, sour cream or some other sauce & some other stuff I can't recall (made it about a year ago).
Didn't have any chilies at the time, so I'll have to be making it again soon, only much spicier.

EDIT: Wait - okay, those ARE jalepenos in there, with onions as well. Maybe it was two years ago...

Funny I was just thinking I hadn't in a while!

OK- here's today's culinary crafts:

The matzoh ball soup with carrots, celery, onion, and lots of parsley
qualifies as a bona fide X-Tend-O Meal(tm) item
due to the use of Trader Joe's Panko chicken cutlets.
One day I'll write that dang cookbook... maybe ya'll will help!!

I tried a new recipe today for Gingerbread Biscotti.

Thanks amybean, Soups are very popular with the Lady of the house, although I am the one who does all the cooking
nothing like a hearty Soup bowl & hot sourdough baguette, I also like doing thicker soupes in a bread bowl, Danish Pea soup, or even chili
OK I am getting hungry now, Damn You! amybean!

I'm back to 12 hour shifts, no cooking for me. I did try homemade pineapple marshmallows yesterday but they were an utter failure! :lol:

So far so yum! Brie with jamon iberico, exotic marshmallows- who knew?

I forgot to photo dinner, so here's some leftovers- gas grilled rock shrimp basted with
fresh lemon, garlic & oil, s&p, chopped parsley. There were leftovers only because of the roasted
chicken and taters/squash which followed.
