Friday was a rough day. Lyndsay and I didn’t really have an appetite. Which is saying something for foodies like us! So no breakfast or lunch on Day 4. Just a bowl of Mac and Cheese for dinner. Cranked it to 11 with a dash of Rooster.
5 out of 5 for boxed cheesy delight.
Lyndsay (awesome-ous girlfriend-us) made her famous Shepherd’s Pie tonight. Kicked it up a notch with a smearing of Sriracha in the potatoes. LOVED IT!
5 out of 5 for this old country delight.
Perhaps it was the starting material, but this Banquet microwave dinner just didn’t pop after dumping some rooster on it.
3 out 5 Roosters for being a sad rooster dinner.
Tried another variety of protein bar with Sriracha. This still wasn’t an instant classic. It was better than the last one. I think the lack of chocolate and raisins made this one better.
3 out of 5 Roosters for the slightly better than chocolate raisins bar.
We weren’t sure what to make for dinner, so we decided to throw in some packaged ravioli’s we picked up the other weekend. We used the last of our open Ragu and decided to throw in some alfredo sauce to lighten it up. Then I lined it with some Sriracha for that always needed kick.

No, well, I did, but I have had some bad stuff recently happen in my personal life, and had to stop posting pictures of what I eat to the internet and deal with that.

I have been taking photos of my food, despite my lack of posts. So all my Sriracha pics will be rolling out over the course of today. In the meantime, check out this awesome Sriracha infographic.
So you think you’re tough? You think you’re as hardcore as me? Well, yeah, you probably are.
Here are my rules for the 365 Days of Sriracha Challenge:
The following post can also be found on the “Why!?” page:
One evening when discussing blogs that people would read versus blogs that people wouldn’t read, we talked briefly of a site where someone eats Sriracha on at least one bite of every meal he ingests for a year. I decided to make this a reality due to my love of the always treasured rooster sauce. So I set forth to use this space to keep record of my journey through life with a bottle of hot cock in my pocket.
Around our house we have an inside joke, “Needs more Sriracha.” I realize it’s not that funny. But it’s a contextual joke. When talking about a nice big bowl of beef pho, no it’s not amusing. When talking about giving the dog a bath, it becomes considerably more humorous.
What is Sriracha? (pronounced: SIR-AH-CHA)Â Huy Fong Foods, Inc. in Rosemead, CA create the sauce that fuels the world. It has other names as well, such as “Rooster Sauce” or “Cock Sauce” which is derived from the logo on each bottle.
“Sriracha is made from sun ripen chilies which are ground into a smooth paste along with garlic and packaged in a convenient squeeze bottle. It is excellent in soups, sauces, pastas, pizzas, hot dogs, hamburgers, chowmein or on anything else to give it a delicious, spicy taste.”
Lunch was a bit better than breakfast, I’ll give it that. The other night we made one of those Bertoli frozen pasta bags. We threw in some extra spaghetti noodles to make it go a little farther. I loaded it up with Sriracha, like a good boy should, and devoured it. I believe that in part to the fact that the extra spaghetti did not have the Bertoli seasoning or sauce on it previously, and to the fact the original meal was spread thin, the Sriracha was quite overpowering. This is unusual for Sriracha. I often comment on how the Rooster only adds flavor, never takes. But this time it seemed to be too much. Perhaps it was my own enthusiasm that caused this dish to falter. Adding too much Sriracha is easy to do. You get all excited and then you put too much on and then you have to power through the pain.
3 out of 5 Roosters for the Sriracha and Spaghetti with just a hint of Bertoli in a bag.
This morning was the first run in with something that one would not normally apply sauce or condiments to, The protein bar.
I picked it up and took it to work with me, when I got there I realized what I had done. Rules are rules and i ripped off a quarter of the bar. Applied two liberal dallops of Sriracha and munched away.
This was a trail mix protein bar. I think there were raisins in there, and a little bit of chocolate. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t very good. The sweet and salty did not play with the spicy. The rooster overpowered the natural taste of the bar and instead of meshing it was just two very distinct flavors happening.
Sorry Sriracha, but I’m only giving a Zone trail-mix protein bar 2 out of 5 roosters. You did not play nice, you get a timeout.
