Beef Gyudon.

rakski @rakski (156709) • Philippines 1 Apr

I had beef gyudon for lunch today, and it really hit the spot. The combination of the beef, sweet sauce, and warm rice was just so satisfying. I didn’t expect to get this full, but I guess good food really does that to you....

Soft Rain and Mild Temp

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2364) • United States 27 Oct

Woke up to a cloudy day. Did my laundry, and talked to my 3hr Friend. Later in the afternoon I was in the garage and it was raining. No thunder, No lightening, and the rain was coming down so softly you could barely hear it. I...

Who Else Loves Breakfast for Dinner?

Diane Foster @DianeScorpio (22) • Nottingham, England 26 Oct

Be honest: do you ever skip the “proper” dinner and make breakfast instead? I’m talking eggs on toast, pancakes, a full fry-up, or beans and hash browns at 7 p.m. If you’re a fan, what’s your go-to plate and why does it hit the...

We often turn to comfort foods in times of stress.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (59351) 1 Oct

At least, here in the Midwest, we seem to. When the chips are down, someone is feeling badly, you are nostalgic, we sometimes turn to foods that seem to make us feel better. Often, these foods are simple, and we expect them to...

Siomai Time.

rakski @rakski (156709) • Philippines 23 Aug

Siomai is one type of steamed dumpling. There are many out there but I prefer this one. It's made of pork and shrimps. It is one of my comfort foods. I just dip it into soy sauce with calamansi and chili. Have you every tried...

Pizza or Pasta.

rakski @rakski (156709) • Philippines 23 Aug

I like them both. Both of them are a sure comfort food. It will surely definitely be difficult to choose between the two. Pizza is perfect when I want something crispy and loaded with toppings. Pasta on the other hand, fills my...

What's for din? August 17th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (68246) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 Aug

I cheated a little bit tonight and let the store do the hard part—I grabbed a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the bird myself. But hey, everything else was homemade, so we’re calling it rustic authenticity. My chicken and...

I will admit the pictures in tonight's What's for din? Collage are not the greatest. I was rushed taking them because there were four hungry teenage boys and a hungrier 12 year old. So I snapped quick pictures. I promise it tasted...

We got an air fryer last night and I immiedately opened it up and used it to make dinner. Nothing fancy last night. The plan had been to make homemade alfredo, but it just didn't work out the way I had wanted/expected it to. So...

String Beans and Squash.

rakski @rakski (156709) • Philippines 6 Jul

Tonight's dinner will be a classic -- squash and string beans sauteed in garlic, onion, and a bit of meat for extra flavor. The bright orange of the squash and the vibrant green of the string beans make it as pleasing to the eyes...

Comfort Food.

rakski @rakski (156709) • Philippines 18 Jun

Comfort food, to me, is like a warm hug on a hard day. It’s not always healthy, but it always feels right. Sometimes it’s a bowl of hot soup, a cheesy pasta, a buttered toast with coffee, or even a pancake. Other days, it’s...

We had a smoked ham that we had frozen after we bought it, so I took it out a couple of days ago and thawed it out in the fridge. I made a homemade honey/brown sugar glaze and cooked it low and slow in the oven. Also made...

Will have my early dinner in a bit

G @freelancermariagrace (29342) • Philippines 30 Nov 24

It is nearly 4 in the afternoon, and I will be having an early dinner. In fact, I usually eat dinner early nearly every day because I don’t want to go to bed feeling too full. In addition, I drink four cups of tea after my meal,...
