I hope y’all didn’t think we just abandoned this site. I’ll try to update this site as much as I can this month, but honestly Tory and I have been really busy finishing up our band’s album. However, once I get my bearings back I’ll definitely be back on the food train. I’d say in about two weeks everything will be back to normal. Until then, check out our band at www.theconcreteproject.com

Sorry I’ve been so absent from this blog since the 4th of July weekend. Honestly, I think it was said weekend that completely threw me off my game here at RamenDays.com. I knew I had to throw something up on the site today for the readers. This post is dedicated to my San Diego readers. All of you should know about the Sunday morning Menudo served at any Mexican Shop before 1pm (sometimes all day). Mmmmmm….delicious.

Even though RamenDays.com has had an increase in traffic our income went down for the month. Hopefully, with the new design of the site we can get more people to click on our ads. We were using Rocketprofit.com for some of June, but switched back over to Adense because Rocketprofit was not rocket nor profitable.

I love Indian woman, Bollywood films, The Kama Sutra, and Apu from the Simpsons. So, I don’t know why it took me so long to finally dive into Indian food. My first impression is that the aroma of the spices used is very heavy. Not heavy in a bad way, just heavy as in the scent could probably go head on with gale force winds during Alaskan king crab season. I also noticed that the use of veggies are very apparent in Indian dishes…and if you are a man of your libido than you should be a man of your veggies. The one thing that that I really enjoyed is dipping the naan (Indian style bread similar to pita bread) into the sauce and just taking a bite out of crime. Overall, I give the Indian food at Sher Punjab’s two sexual positions up. I definitely will be returning with appetite in stomach and debit card in hand.

This is an entry from my first guest blogger appearence at Mom’s Cafe.
Greetings human beings, Mom’s Cafe Home Cooking has blessed me with letting me bless her audience with a recipe from my fun bag. Let me give you a little background on this recipe. Yes, the rumors you heard on CNN and NBC are true, I am a bachelor. As you fellow bachelor (and bachelorettes) know, we have to fend for ourselves no matter how weathered the storm is. Who here comes home after a hard day’s work only to find a jar of olives waiting for you in the fridge? If you want your life to be a long one, you know you can’t eat fast food for the duration of your stay here on Earth. So, I came up with this recipe as a dedication to all my fellow bachelor and bachelorettes of the world. You don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen and have a degree in culinary to fend for yourself in the kitchen. I present to you:
“THE EASIEST MEAL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD”
INGREDIANTS
Half pound of beef eye of round steak
Frozen bag of green peas
2 red potatoes
Soy sauce (1.5-2 cups)
Water (.5-1 cup)
Ground pepper (to taste)
Garlic salt (to taste)
Half a white onion (chopped)
3-4 garlic cloves (minced)
Crushed red pepper or Cheyenne pepper (optional for spicy-ness)
Wash your potatoes and let them boil. Poke the potatoes a couple times with a fork so the insides cook thoroughly.
You can tell potatoes are done when the skin starts to crack on its own.
Throw all your soy sauce, water, ground pepper, salt, chopped onion and minced garlic in a small bowl. You don’t want to use too wide of a bowl because the marinade will be spread too far apart from the meat. You’ll want to use a bowl that allows the ingredients to touch each other so they exfoliate each other’s juices onto one another and into the meat.
Wash your hands and massage the meat into the ingrediants for 2 minutes. PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS! haha.
After 2 minutes.
Put in the fridge for an hour or so.
Transfer everything from the bowl (even the marinade) and boil to cook. Mix every so often.
Cover so that beautiful moisture stays in.
While the meat is cooking throw a bunch of peas in a small pot and cook with a scoop of butter. Add two teaspoons of water to make sure the peas don’t dry out while cooking. Stir occasionally. DO NOT cook the peas on high. You want to cook the peas on medium heat and cover so the moisture will stay in the peas. If you don’t let moisture get into your peas you’ll basically be eating peas with the consistency of dry almonds…not very good at all.
This is how your mixture will look when it’s done. The onions and meat will darken.
Serve with rice and pour a little of the sauce on top of the rice for an extra kick.
**NOTE** You can make a batch of the meat marinade and just store it in the fridge overnight. So, when you get home from work you don’t have to prepare. You can just pop the mixture in a pot and have a quick meal. Don’t let the meat marinade sit in the fridge for more than 2 days because your meat will get too flakey.
Cheers,
Caleb
