Food Update

My broken down ghetto eats are soon coming to an end. Sort of, the old lady doesn’t have a job and we need loot! So we may actually continue to have a freezer with just ice trays in it.

To celebrate my creativity with boneless, skinless chicken breasts I’ve decided to showcase two of my highlights in my fly by night survival cooking exploits. Please forgive my poopy cell phone pictures.

First up is the old chicken fajita torta. The idea of a torta is pretty lame but I was super hungry and needed something to eat my fajitas with. There stood some fresh bolillo rolls and the rest was history.

Next is the chicken stew I made tonight. It was a bit on the salty side and I put too many potatos in it. But it was still delicious over rice. Good for the chilly weather.

And of course my dessert, some Old Fitzgerald on rocks in my pimp glass.

Very Special Old Fitzgerald

More wheat? Yes please! I love wheat, seriously I eat cream of wheat on the weekends. Delicious!

I made a goal to buy a new bottle once a week. The catch is it can’t be from the old Buffalo Trace distillery. I love the stuff but at any given time 85% of my bottles are from BT. It’s good bourbon.

Which brings us to the Very Special Old Fitzgerald, a 12 year old wheater. It’s a nice change. It was a lonely bottle at bevmo so I gave it a chance. It was a bit on the pricey side for a bottle with no cork (again doesn’t matter, it’s good stuff) at $36.

I’ve only sipped on it a few nights now so I’m still feeling it out taste wise. It is definetly sweeter than most the wheaters I sip on. Ha ha I can’t really say more, it is good though and I will buy one for the bunker next time I see one.

Note: I could not pour two glasses and keep the bottle totally full like they did in the photo. Perhaps it was a magic bottle of VSOF.
