Has anyone ever been over to Europe and had the "lamb kebabs" from pretty much any Kebab station over there? I am salivating for one of those right now! You may tell yourself, I've had one those before. Possibly, I've had ones close to it, but still they usually aren't made of lamb and spiced the same and most certainly never come in the same bread they use over there. You may also tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house. You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife. I lived in Germany for 3 months, and I practically lived on these things. I've never found anything similar in Calgary, sadly. They're damn delicious!!

J-Dawg, I typed in "Berlin Kebab" to get that Google image because Germany's were the best!

I lived in K-town, but yeah, delicious kebabs everywhere, thanks to a large population of Turkish immigrants in the country. You're making me hungry and I just had a shipburger, that's how good this shit is.

Every day that I oversleep my classes because I am hungover, I go to this place called Cazbah right on 8th st in downtown Boise and get their Shawarma. From 11-2pm every weekday all their wraps are $5 with fries.
Feels good man.

1) Any Edmontonians looking for tacos of any sort should try Tres Carnales on Rice Howard Way. Authentic mexican food. They have daily specials. Usually it's Red Snapper Fish Tacos, but yesterday they had Beef Tongue (which is apparently a delicacy in Mexico), and they're talking about getting some Yak one day soon. Very cool place. Everything is made in-store except for the bottled drinks.
2) Fuck me that ^ looks amazing
3) I wish we had a food truck tracking website! So many great food trucks, but I never know where they're set up.

We had a killer taco night at my house last night! My bro (back from Nicaragua for a month) made chicken chipotle tacos with mango-avocado salsa. Of course, he said it wasn't the same as just being able to go out to his backyard and pick all the ingredients. I made these: www.marthastewart.com/335570/ricks-potato-and-chorizo-tacos-with-avoc and they were soooo good. Just the right amount of spicy and squishy. I highly recommend them!

I made my first soup of the fall on Monday. It was potato soup and it was super delicious. Yesterday I made a huge pot of minestrone which was also delicious. Oh and I made twice baked potatoes last week.

I love chicken and dumplings. I also love cold weather cooking. I love to make soups and casseroles and hearty things.

I like to assist with the smoking of reefer and the playing of rock and roll music while Stormy cooks.
We have a system.

Has anyone here tried to make sweet and sour pork before? I haven't but I really want to. I think in the next week I will attempt it.

I wish J-dub would stop changing the names of the threads he started.

It gets confusing, it is true. This is like the third different name for it. But how is this comment applicable to sweet and sour pork?

Well should I leave it or change it back to something it was previously?

I made my first soup of the fall on Monday. It was potato soup and it was super delicious. Yesterday I made a huge pot of minestrone which was also delicious. Oh and I made twice baked potatoes last week. I love soups too, especially in the fall. 2 of my perennial favorites are butternut squash and beef barley. I don't follow recipies per se, but there are a few interesting things I can contribute: - for butternut squash, I roast the squash first then puree it. After I've composed the rest of the soup, I add a whole cinnamon stick for the first 10 minutes of simmering (and then remove it). I also usually finish the soup with a small bit of freshly grated nutmeg just before serving. - for beef barley, my favorite way to make it is to make roast sirloin medium-rare with a red wine / red onion / balsamic vinegar sauce, and the the leftover sauce forms the soup base (and some of the leftover beef that didn't already become sandwiches gets cubed up into the soup). The soup ends up with a very intense, rich flavour. I love the roast, but I also look forward to the soup I know I'll be making in about 4 days.
