It looks like some of the meals I make, where there's no way to give it a good presentation, it looks nasty, but taste great!

You know that corned beef brisket was on sale - the day after Saint Patricks.

Looks good. My favorite soup is Menudo. It’s very similar to your dish!

Yea, there's this Mexican restaurant a guy that is my son's co worker who is Mexican referred him to in Richmond Virginia. It is definitely not Americanized. When we walk in we are always the only white people in there, and everyone kind of looks at us like "what are they doing here?". But, once we sit down to order and get through the language barrier, everyone is very friendly. The menudo is my favorite, and we go there specifically to get that. They only do it on weekends because it is apparently labor intensive to make. I also love their Gorditas with beef tongue.

What is the name of this place? I've tried menudo a few places in town, and I'd like to sample this one.

Noah's reply (He said to tell you and Amy hello) - "It’s el vaquero on 7461 midlothian turnpike and they only do the menudo on saturdays and sundays"

Just to show that I also cook food that looks nasty but tastes great: Venison stew with veggies over roasted cauliflower. The most surprising thing about this dish was how the radishes transformed in the pressure cooker. My wife had no idea what they were - she loved them even though she doesn't like raw radishes.

I'd never had them cooked, but my wife makes sauteed radishes. They're damn tasty!

Funny, I must have missed the invite!
Made a huge pot of sauce from whole San Marazano tomatoes yesterday. While they were cooking down, I made 40 fairly large meatball's (almost the size of a racquetball). They were for family Easter today, but why not have rigatoni and meatballs for dinner last night. Plating is horrible as usual. I got a little excited and was a 1/3 of the way in, and smothered in Pecorino Romano before I realized I had forgotten to take a before I eat photo.

John, if you made this I sure would enjoy the recipe. Thanks.

Classic old school Shrimp Alfredo from scratch.
Even the recipe that Doc gave me for chicken cacciatore was like that.
I'm happy to share it Ed. Just remember that those old Italian's use measurements that literally say "half a handful of this or a handful of that."

Easter dinner: Roasted leg of lamb, minted pea puree, sauteed radish and mushroom, lemon asparagus, topped with gremolata. Mrs Nihon swears she hates peas, but she loved these.

Jeff brought wild caught Steelhead Trout to camp, and I brought mushrooms and fresh crab meat. Out of that was born crab stuffed mushrooms and crab stuffed steelhead trout cooked on the Blackstone griddle. The crab meat was just kind of thrown together with things like lemon, dill, green onions, smoked paprika, marjoram, Japanese Mayonnaise, garlic, and butter. I cooked the trout on the griddle skin side down to crisp it up and covered it with a dome lid to trap the heat.
I told Jeff @CigarStone it wouldn't have turned out this good if I was trying real hard.

For once, knowledge is making me poor!
Both were amazing! The steelhead was very very mild and the crab complimented it perfectly! The mushrooms were Savory and delicious and the crab went exceptionally well with that also.

You bums; sounds totally wonderful. We have done the mushroom at home, but never with crab; and your spice combo makes me want to try. Happy to,see you two suffered through it.
