What's for dinner?

I got more carbs for you folks. We had friends over for lunch so I decided to test my newest Neapolitan pizza recipe. It turned out really good.

Beautiful blistering on your pizza crust! All those pizzas look amazing but I love arugula on pizza. The ricotta w/ ham pizza sounds fire! 🔥
 
Fixing to grill some chicken but either my new propane tank is wonked or the regulator on my grill is bad. Only get the lowest level of flame so it's going to take like 1.5 hours to grill this sumbich.

I've been pretty much off red meat/beef/pork for years now but the last few weeks I've grilled sausage a couple times and now I am obsessed with it. I guess the abstinence phase is over. I've been trying to describe the joy of eating grilled sausage to my vegetarian wife. She no convincey.
 
No pix bc it’s all gone, but I had some Szechuan Chicken from my favorite local Chinese restaurant. Been a half hour and my mouth is still super numb from all of the Sichuan peppercorns— I love that stuff; super aromatic but it leaves a novocain-like buzz in your mouth and throat 😂
I have a love hate relationship with Szechuan pepper. It’s so good but that numbness is sometimes too much for me! Mission Chinese here in Brooklyn was fantastic (it closed a while ago).
 
I've heard vegans use that goo from canned beans as an egg sub.

Edit: Canned Chickpeas
oh yeah that stuff is good. Usually it’s the water from canned chickpeas. It’s called aqua faba. I use it for cocktails that call for egg whites like whisky sour. I think it would work as egg white sub but maybe not in a cake?

Ever had a vegan cocktail with chickpea juice as emulsifier? No? Count yourself blessed.

In all honesty, it isn't bad unless you're like me and can't stop thinking "canned chickpeas" over and over.
 
It really is alright... I think if I took some time with that as an ingredient it would honestly be better over all. I still sometimes save it when I open a can, but it always just sits staring at me and I have to eventually toss it.
I can’t really say it has a flavor, at least not that I can tell, so the chickpea origin does not bother me.

Like, if you're making beans from scratch, you always rinse that stuff out by draining and then rinsing the cooked beans with water. Then you can put it back into the pot with more water, or beef/chicken stock and start adding fried veggies for a great soup. Don't forget the bacon bits :-)

The reason why beans make farts is 'cus most people don't rinse...
 
The amound [sic] of eggs I eat — if I had to sub out eggs for canned-chickpea juice, I'd have WAYYYHAYYYY too many cans of moulding chickpeas laying around. I like chickpeas, but... how much hummus can one person eat?
How much of my wife's spiced chickpea snack (air-fried)... How many Bombay Burritos... How many chickpea burgers... How much chana masala can...


Hmm, I guess I would have no problem at all with all that after all.
