Dinner at Central

Cooked by the Master Chef, Jonathan. Granted, it wasn’t the best ingredients, but it was still delicious.

Breakfast of Champions!

So this one day, (May 15th to be exact) I decided I want bacon. A LOT of bacon. A crazyyy amount of bacon! But you can’t eat bacon alone. That’s just way too fattening. So what did I eat it with?

Shrimp o’ Polenta(y)! (ba dum kish)

I’m on this (really poorly executed) attempt to diet, which of course, gives me lots and lots of random food cravings (I’ve been resisting the call of a reuben sammich with fries for a little over a week now). Yesterday around 11pm, I suddenly decided I wanted GRITS! Not like, grits with gravy’n'biscuits, but when I went up to Boston with my friend Cynthia to visit a friend of ours, he took us to a Legal Seafoods and they had this fish thing over cheesy grits, which I thought was mm-mm-good, particularly because for whatever strange reason cooked fish tends to give me indigestion, so I generally avoid it, but there was no suffering involved that time =P

Anyway, since I wasn’t going to risk more fish-fish, I googled around until I found a recipe that seemed to have what I was looking for (aka, cheddar grits with some other kind of meatstuffs), and ended up with this recipe. However, since I was missing like half the ingredients (and am lacking in reading comprehension), the “recipe” I ended up using is vastly different from the original source. Also, since we didn’t actually have any grits, I used finely ground corn meal instead for a polenta.

Shrimp Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

This is a simple salad that I just came up with from the ingredients that I have in the fridge. I had some leftover salad I bought from yesterday for the steak. I also had a bag of unpeeled cooked shrimp from my parents that they bought from Sam’s Club. Let me tell ya.. non-salted shrimp is NOT YUMMY.

And the pineapples? Yah.. there was a 10 for 10 sale at Stop and Shop for canned pineapples in HEAVY SYRUP. You gotta get heavy syrup. Life is cruel without heavy syrup.

Moving on to the recipe..
