Yeah, it's like pulled beef, I guess.  I love eating that shit with scrambled eggs.  I was eating it the other morning and then it occurred to me that most of my net friends have probably never eaten it, so my stomach shed a single tear like that fake-ass Indian.

When you said barbacoa I thought of the brasillian-style restaurant. Do you mean pulled beef? I think that name for that dish might be a central american thing, in south america we call that asado.

In the Southern US, it refers specifically to this kind of meat:

I tried Vanilla Latte poptarts.  It doesn't really taste coffee-ish enough for me.  I wish they had made it stronger coffee-wise.  I ate half of one cold and the flavor came out much stronger but the filling was, um, goopier, I guess.  Coldness really brought out the cr0n syrup and cr0n starch.  Not a great texture to it.

Have you tried making your own? I saw a recipe for "rainbow poptarts", seemed pretty easy.

Made some strawberry jam (without pectin). Preeettay preeeettay preeettay good, and only 3 ingredients

Making my own coffee poptarts sounds dangerous. I have a weakness for sweet bready things AND for coffee-flavored sweets so if they came out super delicious, I'd probably eat all of them myself. So I better not.

Btw Nuri, the lady from Cooking with Dog (youtube channel) has a video about doing coffee jello that is delishhh. And its not  unhealthy. Also, super easy.

Coffee jello sounds scary but I'll look for the recipe since I'm curious.

I made potato and beef croquettes. They came out delicious but I'm not sure if worth the level of effort. I have to make mashed potatoes, then cook beef with onion, then mold them into patties, chill them, coat them with flour/egg/breadcrumbs, and chill them again before I can fry them. It's not like it's hard or anything but I don't like too many steps when making my food.

They eat croquettes in the first episode of Honey and Clover.

I can't escape!

I had leftover ingredients and made more today.
Second go was much easier. I don't make the tonkatsu sauce but eat it plain with some mixed vegetables.

I'm about to bail on the usual concept of meals and food for a few months in an effort to drop some post-injury/post-rona/post-college poundage, and a preacher buddy of mine swears Optavia is the second coming of diets. We'll see. At least my wallet will be lighter.
