Union lunch break

That sandwich looks great.

As for the other one, I'm not a huge fan of bitter melon, but after 30 years of wife trying to convince me, I'm slowly coming around...

We need a "dad jokes" thread for winter time.

According to a lawyer or 3 it’s always winter…

Dad jokes happen on the fly and are usually punny to da max so this is gonna be good…gotta dredge up the “swagger wagon” video on YouTube to kick it off…

Get that fat flatty with a 30lb. Salmon or 60lb wsb bycatch will ya’?  On a side note…

Da bitter melon leaves are super bitter.  The bitter profile grows on ya’ cuz you sorta kinda know ish it’s possibly good for ya’?  Not sure why I’ve grown to tolerate then crave it…must be the rice…

Bitter melon . Couldn't be any worse than nopales ?

Guess ya gotta get your greens in where ya can.

I remember going on a health kick once and made a prickly pear leaf(nopales) juice, that was a slimy odd liquid that has a sour essence and kinda flows like mucus…the okra provides that slick rice sticking component.  Nopales is one of my ingredients in chili verde so it’s kinda buried but part of da yum…

Who knows, I might threddiejack my own thread and post the butterscotch pudding I need to make…with a side of liverwurst naturally and candied bittermelon nuggets…

Not sure if you are blanching your nopales before you add them to your other ingredients. It helps reduce the slime but I'm sure that is probably the healthy stuff getting washed out though.
