Okay, it’s time for more stove adventures with me and the listeners to our podcast. Thanks for all of your submissions over the past few days. You can always send us your food pics by emailing theblackguywhotips@gmail.com. Let’s get right into it.

I made lamb loin chops by battering them in panko bread crumbs and baking them in the oven. Then i microwaved a couple of potatoes and wrapped them in foil. After they softened up I opened them up and added some cheese (hey white people) bacon and sour cream. It was so good.

@Delphrano in his own words: this is my palomilla with huevos y arroz...which pretty much translates to steak with eggs and rice...this is my favorite breakfast dish. by the way, that's A1 bold and ketchup on the palomilla and the egg is over-easy. I'm Dominican, so this is "normal" for me.

Okay that’s all for now. See you guys next time! Thanks for submitting your food. Real people can cook too!

Okay so the response to this blog series on cooking has been fantastic. Many of you have contributed your own work in the kitchen and I want to encourage you to continue to do so. Haven’t received any pictures that I refuse to post because of poor effort. So before we get into tonight’s blog remember that you can always send your pics of your food to theblackguywhotips@gmail.com and I’ll post them on the blog. I tried doing it with Twitter and Facebook but it’s way too hard to keep up with.

So I made some slow baked pork loin ribs and sauteed mixed veggies. The mixed veggies included two things I’ve never cooked before asparagus and graffiti eggplant. I also put some tomatoes and onions in there. It was so good. I was really shocked because the stir fried veggies were a last second addition. One sidenote I’ve noticed with this cooking experiment I’ve undergone is that I eat less. While I was prepping the food and waiting for it to cook for 2 and a half hours I didn’t want to eat anything that would spoil my appetite. And it was low carb too. Compared to what I would’ve eaten I think I did pretty well. Here are the pics.

Now for some reader / podcast listener submitted pics.

It’s a west indian dish and the way he serves it, is either over white rice or on the side of rice & peas.

Handmade pizza by @chrislamberth

All by hand? Go Chris! And he assured me it was delicious.

Alright that’s everyone for this round. See you guys next time I cook and take some pics.

Okay, since the last blog about cooking I’ve had some readers and podcast listeners submit their food pics too. To understand why I’m doing this please check out my other blog post HERE.

So I cooked again and now I have some new results and some user submitted pictures below.

And finally

Huh? What do you think? Some people questioned the bacon being done but trust me it was done. I don’t like it crispy.

Now on to some user submitted pics.

Steak and baked beans by @Grundyman517

This is from Gabby @MindOfGabrielle and she says:

This is my favorite eggplant and chicken dish cooked down in a spicy and yummy Ethiopian berbere sauce. Soooo good!! 🙂 The pic is before the eggplant totally cooks down and melds with the yummy boneless chicken breast pieces.

And Gabby submitted this one too.
