I'm out of ideas for dinner so I'm just going to post what I made a while ago and see what you guys have made recently.

Gordon Ramsay's pork belly and fennel:

Too good, I can't make that.

I have polenta in the fridge for almost a year. Not even sure if it is still edible.

Polenta is easy to make, just boil and stir to desired thickness. It keeps better cooked than dry. You can add butter and/or grated parm as it cooks.

And you can pair it anything you like.

Bobby Flay is a competition addict. Onion Ring battle: Bobby Flay vs Andy Baraghani.

Who doesn't love onion rings.

Friuli dish: polenta with sausage and rapini with shavings of parm...I put the parm in the polenta.
Well done sir. Looks like a dish in any high end dining establishment. I've never made anything that looked that good.

Making polenta is butt simple, just remember the ratio of water to cornmeal. I make it slightly thicker so I can fry it later. If you add heavy cream, you're making grits.

Chef Brad Leone and Pastry Chef Claire Saffitz are so cute together.

The mistake was done purposely, Claire would know not to leave doughnut dough to proof overnight under cloth. If you're trying to cut down on plastic, use wax paper...keep it in place with Saskatchewan Seal Skin Bindings...RIP Super Dave.

I like to cook and can make some tasty dishes but I can't make them look good at all. If you like to see other peoples cooking, here is probably best food porn channel on YouTube.

Same. I’ve been cooking my whole life, I’ve done a bunch of culinary classes at George Brown, I have professional-level bartending and mixology training, but I can’t plate to save my life. I’m a great cook, best in my family, I make delicious food, it’s gotten me laid more than once, but I just can’t make it pretty.

Wow Grimnul you got instruction from John Higgins!

When we immigrated to Toronto, my parents were working constantly. Me, my sister...and sometimes my young pool shark uncle had to learn to cook for ourselves. This was the time when La Paloma was still a pool hall.

I made a delicious sandwich today. Hereford corned beef, mustard, pickles and crushed bbq fritos on a kaiser. Sure its a sodium bomb but once in a while its nice to indulge.

Hey Mr. Douglas, Lust for Life was on TCM, extremely sad film but perhaps Kirk's best work as Vincent Van Gogh.

Depending on how many pickles you put put into the sanguichi, it's not as big a sodium bomb as you think. I made fried chicken with a crushed Cheetos batter, it was delicious.

Gordon Ramsey failed at taking Anthony Bourdain's place, he's just to acerbic to be a culinary diplomat. Now a new show is premiering tonight called No Passport Required with renowned Swedish/Ethiopian Chef Markus Samuelsson. The surprising part, it's exclusive to TLN. On PBS in the States.

Gratuitous rant: I went to 3 Beer Stores (including the one near the waterfront) and all 3 were closed. (I suppose beer qualifies as food.)
