I want to start a new thread about what we are eating at the moment.
The idea behind this is that many of us live alone and we need to keep healthy. We may have not much money and we may not have a lot of time or energy.
So what are we going to cook tonight to keep us healthy?
These are basic meals. If you use commercial ingredients try and use a web link as they vary from place to place.
If your meal has a copyright please include it, ie you need to quote where you got it from with due acknowledgement to the author and publication.
Veal with tomato and stuff.
For one and has left overs that can be frozen or kept at 4C (fridge)
About 250 grams of veal, lean.
Cut into strips and discard fat etc.
Put into a casserole dish with a tin of diced tomatoes.
Add pepper and 'Italian' flavour (gourmetgarden.com Italian Herb Paste or equivalent)
Some stock or water to dilute out without being too runny.
Cook at about 190-200C for about 30 mins.
While cooling make instant rice.
I use one of the commercial cook in the microwave for 90 seconds rice with flavour, such as Uncle Ben's Mexican Flavour Rice.
When cooked, add rice to casserole mix and stir, serve with some dry bread.
Very tasty costs not much and can be adapted.
Prep time 5 mins.
Cooking time 40 mins.
Obviously this can be adapted for any sort of meat and gives a quick and healthy meal. Add veggies if you have them.

Last night, I was not in the mood to cook, but the girls were hungry, and I had a large skinless chicken breast I had to use. So here is what I did.
* I put some sourdough dinner rolls in the oven to warm.
* I sliced the breast into strips, seasoned with garlic, pepper, oregano, and quickly stirfried in a little olive oil.
* Meanwhile I boiled a big pot of water with a little salt.
* I had a jar of plain commercial spaghetti sauce, which I poured into a saucepan to warm. Added a diced tomato.
* With the water boiling, I added a small box (about 4 servings) of thin spaghetti pasta, and let cook for 7 minutes.
* I put the cooked chicken aside on a paper towel to soak up any extra grease, and quickly stirfried some green bell pepper and half a large onion, coarsely chopped, and added those to the sauce.
* After 7 minutes, drained the cooked al dente spaghetti in a colander.
* Put together a quick green salad, with fresh tomato and sliced avocado.
Plated the pasta and poured on the sauce. Topped with chicken strips. Salad and dinner roll to the side.
All done in 20 minutes. No copyright on this one. I made it up as I went.

I do a lot of catch-as-catch-can Stir Fry.
I always start with a crushed clove of garlic and a sliced onion. Only mandatory ingredient.
The fresher the vegetables the better.
As well as a small amount of olive or vegetable oil I ALWAYS add Sesame oil. Makes all the difference. Just half a dozen drops is sufficient. Sometimes also ginger oil, chilli oil, or a teaspoon of Sambal Olek chillies.
Once the onion and garlic have started to change colour I add thinly sliced, chicken, beef or lamb. Especially with chicken I don't stir until there is a slight colour change or it will stick. Also sometimes cubed fish. Not a lot though, the vegetables are the main part of the dish.
Nice high heat, and keep it gently moving until it starts to brown.
Add veg, and continue stirring until vegies are done but still crisp.
Sometimes I have it with Cous Cous instead of rice.
Simple but very nutritious.

Tonight, I made a Chicken Waldorf Salad. Very easy.
I used leftover large chicken breast, but you could have as easily used canned chicken.
In a large mixing bowl:
Dice two apples, leaving on the skins. Use two different types for more color.
Cut up your chicken into bite-sized chunks.
Dice two celery stalks.
Add a handfull of raisins, currants, or chopped dates.
Toss with one cup of mayonnaise and one tablespoon of lemon juice.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Chill for 30 minutes.
Serve as a salad, or on bread as a sandwich.
Options:
Season with curry powder
Add sliced grapes
Add fined chopped green onion
Prep time 10 minutes

Slow Crock pot Beef. Injected onion and garlic juice in to the meat. Salt and pepper rud and browned in a hot pan.
Carrots, potatoes, mushrooms in a beef stock and cook on low for about 8 hours. Yummy.
And afterward, cut up some of the roast and left over veggies. Back in the stock with Kitchen Bouquet and gravy mix for a roast beef stew.

On Saturday night I made cioppino. It is an Italian-style fish stew, first made by the Italian-American fishermen in San Francisco. Served with some crusty sourdough rolls on the side.
I made mine somewhat differently, including the tomato sauce from scratch, but here is the Food Network version:
Total Time:
30 min
Prep
10 min
Cook
20 min
Yield:
2 servings
Cioppino
Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
1/2 cup sliced onions
1 clove garlic, minced
6 to 8 clams
6 to 8 mussels
1 cup red wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
Red pepper flakes, to taste
6 shrimp shelled and de-veined
1 small fish fillet (recommended: sea bass, flounder or other mild firm flesh fish)
Directions
Heat olive oil in a deep saute pan, over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onions and garlic and saute until tender, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Add the clams, mussels, red wine, chicken stock, marinara, red pepper flakes, shrimp and fish fillet and continue cooking until the clams and mussels are open, the shrimp cooked through and the fish is flaky. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with a side of pasta and good bread, if desired.
This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.

Dinner was a Mushroom Risotto. Done as a rice pudding in the oven as usual. Also came out perfect, as usual! Also a couple of glasses of South Australian Shiraz, Penfolds Koonunga Hill , 2010. ;D

Sounds wonderful, Karen. Your wine selection reminded me of a post in the "Australian Wines" topic I made last May:

Okay, so I went by my local BevMo store to stock up on some wines and other libations.
They had one Coonawarra region wine in stock, so I got it to try this weekend. It is close to an Alexis recommendation, and one, I hope, of which Cindy would approve.
Penley Estate
Hyland
2008 Coonawara Shiraz
On the back label it reads:
The Name: Penley was born out of our family names Penfold and Tolley, synonymous with 160 years of winemaking tradition. Hyland pays tribute to our Penfold-Hyland forebears.

I'm making a roast chicken fillet with roast vegies of carrot, pumpkin. potato, capsicum and mushroom.
Roast capsicum is very sweet.
Why roast? Too damn lazy to cook.
I think I'll have a glass of dry white as well. It is only Tuesday but it has been a long day of hassle and argument.

Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I got this recipe from a super cooking blog. The original recipe uses Morbier cheese from France. It is a pungent, semi-soft cheese, originally used as a farmer's cheese in the olden days. It has a distinctive black ash stripe through the middle.
For me, Morbier was hard to find, so I substituted creamy Halvarti cheese instead - it is another semi-soft type. Gouda I think might have worked as well.
Also, the original recipe uses whole grain wheat bread. I used cracked wheat sourdough bread.
The ingredients are:
Sweet onion, thinly sliced
Grapeseed oil
Kosher salt
Sherry
Whole grain wheat bread
Morbier cheese, thinly sliced
D'Anjou or other sweet pear, just ripe and still firm, thinly sliced
Unsalted butter
The directions:
Over medium-low heat, caramelized your thinly-sliced sweet onion (Vidalia, Mayan, Walla Walla, etc) in grapeseed oil and a little salt. When the onion begins to turn a reddish brown, deglaze the saute pan with a little sherry and cook until dry.
Take two pieces of bread and spread softened butter on one side. Over medium heat in your skillet, toast the two slices of bread until browned, and remove from skillet. Top the browned side of your bread generously with your sliced cheese, then your sliced pear, then top with the caramelized onion. If necessary, melt a bit more butter in the skillet (however, there should be enough there already, from the first side).
Place the other piece of bread, browned side down, on the cheese pear, and onion. Place your sandwich back in the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. Brown each side. When finished, remove to a serving plate and eat while still warm.
This is very nice with a cup of soup.

My daughter is home from college for the weekend, so I decided to make something special. We had Beef Stroganoff, with a green salad comprised of farm fresh local baby greens and yellow grape tomatoes, and herbed potato wedges.
Recipe to follow after I clean up the kitchen!
Beef Stroganoff Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds of sirloin beefsteak, cut into thin strips, dusted with flour, garlic salt and pepper
Peanut oil (or other high temp oil)
Butter - 1 stick, divided as needed
1 medium yellow onion peeled and diced
1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
12 ounces of sliced mushrooms (white button or portobellini)
Sherry
10 ounces beef broth
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (optional - see below)
All purpose flour (optional - see below)
1 beef bullion cube
1 cup sour cream
Flat egg noodles
Method
In a medium-sized skillet, heat a small amount of oil over a medium flame, and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Quickly cook your beef strips until browned, then transfer to a larger skillet on medium low heat.
In the beef dripping, sweat your diced onion until translucent.
Add your minced garlic and continue for 1 minute.
Remover your onion and garlic to the large skillet with the meat.
Melt another 2 tablespoon of butter and saute your mushrooms until brown.
Deglaze with sherry and cook until nearly dry. (Reserve additional sherry for the cook!)
Add mushrooms to the meat.
In the large skillet, add beef broth and bullion cube, allow to simmer on medium heat.
At this point add 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup -or-
... make a light brown roux out of equal parts butter and flour, to thicken the meat mixture (I prefer this method)
continue to cook until the Stroganoff mushroom sauce has thickened, perhaps 15 to 20 minutes (do not boil or scorch).
At the last minute, stir in sour cream, and add additional sherry if desired.
In the meantime, cook flat egg noodle as directed on the box to al dente.
Drain and toss with a small amount of butter (or oil).
Place a generous amount of noodles on the plate, and ladle Stroganoff over the noodles.
Makes about six portions

Herbed Potato Wedges
Very easy and flexible.
Preheat your over to 400F
Clean your potatoes (about 4 to 5 medium), removing eyes or dark spots as needed, but do not peel.
Slice your potatoes lengthwise into 4 to 8 wedges, depending on the size of the potato (more wedges from larger potatoes)
Place potato wedges in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons high smoke vegetable oil, such as peanut oil, and toss to coat.
Add your selection of herbs and seasonings and toss
(I use sage, thyme, dried garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. But be creative!)
Spray a baking pan or casserole with a small amount of spray oil and pour in wedges so that they lay flat in the pan.
Cook for approximately 20 minutes, then turn randomly with a spatula, return to heat.
Cook another 20 minutes until some of the potatoes have become crispy brown. As they are different sizes, not all will brown at the same time. Remove to serving plate. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

I made beef strogonoff in the slow cooker yesterday. It turned out pretty good but it needed something.
The night before, I made grilled rosemary mint lamb with yams. It was a good meal.

Brooke is correct. In actuality, if you go too long getting less that about 1200 calories per day, your metabolism begins to slow down, and it becomes harder to lose weight!

I've made a Tikka Masala with chunks of Quorn chicken-style fillets, peppers, onion and sultanas. In a bit, I'll be cooking up some long grain rice to go with it. I'm going to have it with a nice big glass of Argentinian Torrontes (though, to be honest, I've been sipping on that for 2 hours already).

I made a hamburger. I decided to be a little creative and put ground chili peppers in the beef. Then I put it on a bun, and added pepper jack cheese, lettuce, onion, jalapenos, and bacon. Except that wasn't really hot enough, so I sliced up a few habaneros and put them on. And a glass of chocolate milk. Pretty good.

I had my first shot at French cuisine tonight. Success!
I made garlic & herb tortelloni in a blue cheese, shallot and walnut sauce, paired with a bottle of lovely Californian Viognier from my wine club. The fruitiness of the wine cut through the saltiness of the cheese very nicely.

I think basic dirty rice is made using the water a chicken has been boiled in. The bits of floating chicken and yellow color of the water "dirty" the rice. I make it different ways depending on what I have, that's why I said tonight.

...and what was in the empanada?
Well, first, I boiled beef cubes in some spices, then peeled them apart. Next, I placed some chopped carrots and peas in the pot and cooked them over a low flame. I boiled some eggs in a seperate pot. I chopped up the boiled eggs (shells taken off :P). I mixed the beef, carrots, peas, and eggs, then placed them in some tortilla disks, folded them into crescent shapes, and pressed the perimeter with a fork. Finally, they went in the oven. :)

My AlliKat made the yummest healthy Italian dish I have ever tasted the other night! She is becoming quite the cook and I am loving having her cook more! This one she picked out cause it was pretty low in potassium for her as well as being Weight Watchers friendly for me! And it was soooo good! It came from weightwatchers.com so I can't link the source cause you have to have a login to their website for the page to come up...

Thanks, Simon! I should have elaborated. The fish was seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, seasoned salt and put in a ziploc bag with two tablespoons of water. The fish soaked up the brine and sat for fifteen minutes, then I put a half cup of flour in the bag and shake until the fish is evenly coated and dry. Fry in 1/4 inch of vegetable shortening (Crisco) four minutes to a side over medium to high heat, you have to manage the heat as you go. The sprouts were just steamed.

Chicken panini! I got a panini press from my dad for my birthday. The Sunbeam Panini Press/Grill. I highly recommend it. It comes with drip cups to catch the fat that slides out of this tube on the side and this neat fork, like thing that fits perfectly between the grill lines so you can scrape off some stuck stuck. Use some cooking spray with it for a perfect non-stick cooking. Plus, it cooks both sides at the same time, so I can cook burgers much faster. :P
It works so well, and I love it! ;D

Well, I wrote a basic procedure, but I'm too lazy to type a whole recipe (get enough typing doing my homework :P).
Basically, for the meat, get beef cubes, and then blend 2 cloves of garlic with 1/2 of a large red bell pepper, 1/2 of a large onion, and optional 3/4 cup of tomato sauce. Place this mixture in your beef and boil it with salt and black pepper to your liking.
Follow the rest of my procedure (carrots, peas, and eggs to your liking) and then either fry or bake the filled empanadas. :)

So I didn't know what I was making tonight until I was finished making it. I usually call these types of meals concoctions, but this one Imma call italian rice because it's essentially spanish rice but with italian ingredients, well sorta. Was yum.

Tried out something for the Superbowl:
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Dice one large ripe tomato and 1/2 large onion, and saute in a little oil, on medium-high heat, in a 2 qt sauce pan, until the onions are translucent and the tomatoes have begun to brown, about 5 minutes
Add one can of your favorite canned chili (15 ounce), beanless, and 6 ounces of beer (drink the rest while cooking). Continue to cook on a low roiling boil, for ten minutes, stirring occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pan as you do.
In the meantime, cover a large roasting pan in foil and spray with some Pam. Spread a 11 ounce bag of Fritos Scoops out on the foil and sprinkle liberally with shredded cheese (I used a four cheese mexican blend, about 8-12 ounces).
Put in the warm oven and allow the cheese to melt. When ready to serve, place some chips and cheese on a plate, and top with warm chili. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top of the chili. Have plenty of napkins available. Finger-lickin' good.
It will look something like this:

I was feeling very lazy tonight, due to being knackered from doing housework, so I had a big wedge of one of my favourite cheeses, along with some poppy & sesame seed biscuits and some wine.
I'm feeling hungry again though, so may have a mini pizza, or some veggie bacon on a roll. I wish I had tortilla chips, then I'd make nachos. Mmmmmm, nachos.

Jamie, with your dietary restrictions, you should really look for low-salt cock soup. <running away>
So true! You know, salty gives cock a certain ... panache.
But for me, I like mine spicy!

With homemade garlic mashed potatoes and a mixed green dinner salad.

You could do green chile on green chiles, green chile on red chiles, green chile on red AND green chiles... ;D I have yet to find a food that doesn't taste better with green chiles!
My personal favorites are lasagna with green chile and tuna salad with green chile.
Clearly I have a problem.

For my anniversary, I thought a steak would be nice. I picked up this ribeye, one and a half inches thick ($15), brined it in salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, a spritz of soy sauce and a few tablespoons of water. Four minutes to a side in a rocket hot pan, eight minutes rest wrapped in foil, and presto! How did I do?

I roasted a whole stuffed chicken tonight. I usually roast a smaller 'Game Hens' or the pieces parts here. Because of the increased prices of the store baked "roto birds" I baked a larger bird then those wrinkling under a heat lamp at the store with half the price with stuffing and basted with a sage/rosemary butter mixture with the herbs out of my garden. The store birds usually are basted with oil and a paprika mixture with a lemon pepper version rarely put out.
My version, I took the basic cookbook recipe that calls for a temp of 325°F for a longer period of time than the internet average of 350°F and added the herbs to the softened slathering butter baste. This bird fell apart and was quite juicy when I attempted to cut it! The skin was plunp with a nice brown color with the right kind of texture and crispness. There were more than enough juices for the gravy and there were giblets added. Mashed potatoes with the giblet gravy and peas. I usually pig out on half the store birds, but I scarcely got done with 1/5 of this bird. Best bird I had in awhile! A good night at the table.
King Soopers (Kroger, Inc.) birds are usually overcooked and have a more bitter dark skin. Safeway has a better bird with the lighter skin and better texture. Albertson's had the best birds plus at times you had 3 different herb mixtures to choose from. I didn't like the looks of the WalMart birds and never got one. But still these rotisserie store birds had less moisture in the meat than a home baked one in a pan.

You're always welcome to come and eat dinner here (just beware, all our chairs at the table are broken and we have only one spoon!) or help yourself to the deer in our basement freezer.
Tonight's dinner: red onion, green pepper and shrimp cook kinda quickly on a pan in some oil, tossed on top of some whole wheat spaghetti with a bit of olive oil and a ton of Chef Prudhomme's Magic Shrimp Seasoning.

I like Old Bay for seafood. Tonight is boneless center cut pork chops, marinated in hot sauce, then pan fried, and two bricks of frozen squash.

I sauteed some red onions, then threw in a handful of baby spinach leaves, then added in two egg whites and one whole egg I scrambled together. Had that with two smal pieces of whole wheat bakery bread with a bit of futter on it, along with half of a papaya.

And dessert is the rum version of the Cajeta (http://www.patismexicantable.com/2013/02/homemade-cajeta/ (http://www.patismexicantable.com/2013/02/homemade-cajeta/) which I am thinking will make great Christmas gifts).

This is my first time to see this thread. It is so interesting. I love cooking very much, but I find it difficult to describe the cooking process of most Chinese food, so I will just post some photos that I took before.
Rice is always the same = =
Actually about once a month I have noodles or Chinese buns or dumplings, but I haven't taken photos.

Venison steak from the deer our friend killed in our back woods marinated for 4 days in some Full Circle's organic soy-ginger sauce, cooked with some mushrooms, corn on the cobs, and whole wheat spaghetti with a wee bit of olive oil and Italian seasoning as a sauce.

Finally... Not rice again. It's noodles!
Noodles in chicken soup. Yes, I still haven't finished that chicken. I eat so little meat everyday.

At mine, nothing fancy. Baked potato, with butter and bacon bits and cheese. Lots of all 3, too. ;) Will have 2% milk with chocolate Ovaltine (always!)...
Later tonight, I will probably have a rum and coke or two. Quiet night, might watch "Smokey and the Bandit" which I just got today.

Oh, it's simple! You burn extra calories cleaning up the mess from the food that falls off the plate. And from all the running back and forth filling up tiny plates.

Shiitake mushrooms (香菇) and a kind of black fugus without English name (木耳, species name: auricularia auricula), which have a long history as food in East Asia. They are pretty healthy with a good taste. High in fiber, and almost no fat.

Um... I made crab guacamole... ^-^
I tried it at Outback Steakhouse and thought huh, that looks simple enough. ...Yeah, not so much.
No idea how it turned out, of course - I've never made anything before, ever. It's light green with red-brown spots, so I guess that's good... I also wasted three perfectly unripe avocados and one perfectly overripe one trying to find good ones. But that's in the past. In the present there is Guacamole!

You should juuuust be able to dent an avacado with your thumb to make guacamole. If it dents easily, you've got a squishy mess. However, bruising avocados ruins them quickly, so go easy on the ones at the store.

I tried that... The first four I think I mistook denting my palm for denting my avocado. The others I could definitely dent. A lot. Turned out mostly OK, 'cept for the one that was all brown inside.

Tell you a secret: this is my best friend in cooking. A Chinese wok (锅). Except for stir-frying (炒), I can also use it to do steaming (蒸), slow frying (煎), fast frying (炸), making a thick soup (炖), making a thin soup (烹), boiling (煮). Almost everything......

Ah yeah, scallops are pretty difficult to stir-fry. If you directly put them into hot oil, they become as hard as stone. May I give you a few tips?
Sometimes scallops can have a small hard string of significantly different color (depending on the manufacturer). Remove it before doing anything else.
Rinse in boiling water for about 3-5 mins (depending on the size of the scallops) to achieve an equal temperature throughout, until it cracks when gently pressed.
Remove water. Put cooking oil in wok, and stir-fry everything else of your designed dish (e.g. green onion, garlic, ginger, green peppers, etc.), and put spicy ingredients into the wok just like as if you have forgotten the scallops. Scallops tend to shrink when cooked, so they must be the last one which is put into the wok.
Normally, add a small amount of starch suspended in water (don't use flour instead) to make the mixture sticky, and improve its taste.
Quickly stir-fry for less than half a minute. Move all to a dish.
Its done.

For dinner last night we marinated some tofu, and used it to make skewers. We put cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, tofu, egg plant, and garlic. We also grilled some asparagus. We made a baste to put on all of it out of sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic powder, union powder, ginger and salt. It was a very good meal.

I made chicken quasadillas with sides of home made guacamole and store bought salsa and sour cream. This is a very tasty dish but a little on the fattening side so we don't do it very often.
I normally cook up a series of dishes and then split them up and freeze them in controlled portion sizes. We then reheat the dishes and serve with a small portion of rice and a freshly made salad. This way we have very tasty & healthy home made dishes which include little preparation (or dishes) and they are a known quantity in the calorie department. Usually once each week I cook up something fresh or special like the quasadillas or steaks on the bbq or grilled salmon etc.

Today was "fish day" for dinner, on the Scarsdale Diet.
So I made two 5-6 ounce swordfish steaks, with olive oil, and a bit of salt and pepper. Broiled on each side for about 4 minutes, for a 1-inch thick steak.
I topped that with a homemade citrus-pine nut-parmesan pesto comprised of fresh basil, pine nuts, lemon juice and zest, orange juice and zest, a pinch of sea salt, EVOO, a pinch of FGBP, parmesan cheese, and a smashed garlic clove, mixed together in my little salsa processor.
Mixed green salad on the side with a pecan raspberry light vinaigrette.
Low calories, low sodium

Kind of a weird dinner but this is how I eat a lot of the time. Baby Carrots, a cumber, some cottage cheese, a a slice of bread with peanut butter on it.

I browned up some boneless chicken in butter, then took the chicken out and put a chopped onion, a clove of garlic (crushed) and some red pepper flakes in the butter. While that cooked, I grabbed three fat asparagus spears from the garden and threw them (cut in 1/2 inch pieces), the now cubed chicken, and a handful of noodles in the pot and just barely covered everything with water. Seasoned with a chicken bullion cube, onion powder, garlic powder, sage, and four, count 'em, four drops of some high octane hot sauce. Ten minutes boiling, and I'm eating. There's way too much hot stuff in here, this soup is awesome!

My dinner tonight, nothing original, just thinking inside the "box":

Betty Crocker "Suddenly Salad", with (suggested) can of olives, would've put in chunks of cheese too if I'd thought about it.
But...alas...I was too hungry and just ate teh olibes from teh can, saving a few for the salad...

Gosh I love brussels sprouts. My second favorite food, after beets.
Tonight I tried millet stuffed peppers. Sounds bland but I added sauteed mushrooms, red bell, onion, garlic, tomato, black beans, and chiles (always chiles!) to the millet. Little cheese on top, a brief spell in the oven...and wow. Not bad at all.

I feel like I ate two dinners today. I made my "dinners in bulk" this afternoon and tried one of my dinners for lunch and had the other one for actual dinner.
Lunch was chicken Masaman curry using this stuff:

I sauteed a finely chopped onion in half a stick of butter and some olive oil, when the onion had a bit of brown color, I added a crushed clove of garlic and about a teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and a pinch of Italian seasoning. (I don't measure anything when I cook.) That cooked for one minute more, you don't want the garlic to burn, it gets bitter. Then I added five asparagus spears including The Whopper (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,140519.0.html) from yesterday, chopped, and cooked a couple minutes until the asparagus was bright green. Meanwhile, mini farfale pasta was boiling. I poured the asparagus butter sauce over the pasta, and arranged the asparagus tips for presentation purposes, thusly:

Actually, I did not eat dinner tonight, because I had a big lunch. But for the family I made a mixed green salad, with seared U10 scallops (no more than 10 to a pound) in grapeseed oil, sesame oil, and lemon juice, and some crisp-microwaved bacon for a garnish. I also made a lo-fat, lo-cholesterol Louie dressing. Easy breezy.

Homemade Salisbury steak with brown gravy over white rice. I should have put it on top of the gravy instead of the other way around. Yeah, I like onions.

You would have loved the scallops, with a nice sear, and a wonderful nutty, lemony flavor.
Mmm. Mmm. Good
Tonight it was boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seasoned and browned in the leftover bacon grease (rather than butter or oil - for taste), then popped into the oven to finish.
With them were lima beans, with grilled onion and bacon lardons, slow cooked.
To plate, top of the finished breasts with quick stir-fried baby spinach and minced garlic. Serve the lima beans in a ramekin on the side.

I poached about a half pound of chicken in water with some onions, garlic, sage, black pepper, and red pepper flakes for about ten minutes. I removed the chicken and chopped it into small pieces, then returned it to the poaching liquid and added a big spear of asparagus sliced into rounds and a handful of chives. (Both from the garden). Right on top of that went an Instant Ramen knocked out of its styrofoam cup. I stirred it in, threw a lid on it, and let it sit for ten minutes, now let's see what we got!

I've been really boring for a while, another change thingy in my life. But I've just started to get interested in cooking again.
Last night, roasted a carrot, sweet potato, capsicum, mushrooms and a tomato with a chicken fillet, covered in far too much gravy.
I never skimp on the sauce!!
Nice

Tonight's dinner is my lovely homemade chestnut mushroom risotto. Chestnut mushrooms are my favourite mushroom, they have a great earthy/woody/nutty flavour.

Okay, so the portabello mushroom and swiss veggie patties may not have been the healthiest for both my boyfriend and I, BUT I did roast some vegetables in the oven: lightly oiled veggies with pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt, and baked in the oven at 400 degrees until just scorched to bring out the flavours. We had broccoli, carrots and peppers!

Picked sugar peas when i got home from work. I boiled one half cup of rice for twelve minutes, then drained the water and left the rice in the lidded pan off the heat for fifteen minutes. I sliced some top round steak into thin strips and browned it in olive oil in a rocket hot pan for a few minutes, then added a chopped onion and a clove of crushed garlic. Never brown garlic longer than a minute, it will burn and be bitter. I poured in two cups of water resulting in a huge cloud of steam and deglazing the pan. Then I added onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, a beef bullion cube, soy sauce, and some dried parsley. Over medium heat, I reduced until most of the liquid was gone, threw in my peas for two minutes, and added a little cornstarch in a cold water slurry to thicken it up. Ta-dah, homemade Chinese takeout!

Beef, it was for dinner. This time it was a broiled chuck steak marinated in a black bean sherry marinade my cousin from Seattle makes. She is a professional chef who owns a small catering service. The ingredients made a difference in the flavor. The steak was marinated in a bag in the refrigerator for 2 hours. The brown sugar made for sweetness with the sherry, hoisin and soy sauces made for a good distinctive flavor. It contains cilantro I don't like, but I didn't taste it. For all meats. She sells it locally in the Seattle area usually at her booth at the shows. I took 10 pint jars with me and I gave most of away to family members along the west coast before I got it home! Also, salad from the garden plus steamed broccoli from the garden.

Mmm...food...
I had a bit of a middle-easern dinner. It's like...couscous salad, with chopped almonds, mint, dried apricots, and toppd with a bit of lamb. Sound weird, but it's really good once you try it.

It's been hamburgers and hotdogs, hamburgers and hotdogs, so I decided to go meatless. Don't look Jaime! I peeled, quartered, and cored a pineapple, and put it in a Ziploc bag with maybe three or four tablespoons of clover honey, a half teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a teeny pinch of cinnamon. While that macerated, I lit the charcoal grill. When the coals were ready, I wiped the grill with butter and put the pineapple slabs on. Five minutes to a side, but you have to babysit this, the sugar will burn. As it cooked, I poured the honey/pineapple juice from the bag over it. Ta-dah!

Too late, I already looked. At least that doesn't include actual veggies, so I guess it can't be too bad, although I think some ham might go well with it.
I had a couple cheeseburgers and homemade fries over at a friends house after I fixed a little wiring issue for them.

I use a flour dredge and fry in Crisco, batters can be tricky. There should be a dry surface for the batter to cling to, or it can fall off when the food produces steam. Hugs, Devlyn

When I make my oven-baked "fried" chicken, I use an eggwash on the chicken parts, roll them in Bisquick, and season prior to baking at 350F. That way, I don't tax my brain too much.

I had a taco salad for dinner.
Next time, you should try rings. I buy fresh sliced rings at my local grocery, brush some honey over them and sprinkle a mix of cayenne pepper and hungarian paprika over them. Yum! I've also used jerk seasoning+lime zest+a light dusting of sugar in the raw. Very good either way. :D
Fresh peaches are also very good when grilled with some honey and fresh mint or some honey and cinnamon. I served both versions over greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream with a granola crumble topping as a dessert at family cookouts last year.
Ugh, now I'm craving grilled fruit. Maybe tomorrow I'll make some Green Chicken (http://nomnompaleo.com/post/7486821187/my-sisters-phenomenal-grilled-green-chicken) and grilled pineapple. I have some pablano peppers that need to go too....anyone got any ideas for what I can do with those??

After the 4th of July, my local supermarket had some nice looking ribeye steaks on sale for half price. So I bought four and frozen them. Thawed out two tonight.
The way I cooked them was to quickly sear the outside in a cast iron skillet, with oil, a bit of garlic salt, and pepper. When they had been browned on both sides, I popped the skillet in a 450F over for a few minutes.
In the meantime, I sliced some yellow onion and mushrooms, and sauteed them with a little sherry. Topped the sizzling hot steaks with the onions and mushrooms and sauteing liqueur (like a sauce). Side salad and green beans. Yum.

Tonight I am sort of focused on the whole grain waffles I am making for my cardio rehab group tomorrow morning. Getting it all prepared ahead of time.
So tonight for dinner I made something really easy, just from what is on hand.
I thawed out some boneless, skinless chicken breast I get a Costco, vacuum wrapped.
It took the halved breasts and seasoned them with Mrs Dash Original, garlic powder, and FGBP and browned them in a skillet, a few minutes on each side. I then transferred them to a casserole and popped them into a 350F over for about 20 minutes.
At that point I placed a slice of Swiss cheese on each breast piece, and topped it with some sliced ham lunchmeat. Back in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese and slightly brown the ham.
On to the plate with a squeeze of honey mustard. Served with some saffron risotto, and peas & carrots.
The risotto cooked while the chicken was in the oven, and the peas & carrots were from a frozen package, and cooked in the microwave for 8 minutes. Total time - not more than 35 minutes, and only a few minutes active time.

Put bananas and blueberries through my Juice Master. Bananas are fun to juice, there is almost no pulp that is rejected. The juice from the 2 of them isn't very good though. I think I like it better with veggies rather than fruits.
You have the basics of a great smoothie though!

Nahh, I can eat "fakon" instead. I feel soooo much better lately that I'll never even desire to eat meat again. Next thing I want to do is go full Vegan and give up dairy, eggs, and honey. Already gave up cow milk for almond milk but I've yet to start making my own cheeses out of nuts. Plan to go full out in the next year. ;D

Devyls Advocate time! What's the demarcation line for veganism and bees? If the bees pollinate a plant, is the fruit off limits? Should vegans only eat wind pollinated foods?

Yeah, that's one of those catch-22's out there. I'm just trying to be as ethical and health conscious as possible. If there was an alternative to using their labor for our purposes it would be preferred but there isn't. Can't completely erase our footprints on the Earth but going Vegan is about the most ethical thing there is. I'm also dropping weight and feel better so it's win/win all around.
I'll never be a "Vegan Nazi" and tell people they're murderers for eating meat. I'm just doing my own thing...feeling good mentally/physically about my decisions and even saving money in the process. :)

Last night I made some thin spaghetti and tossed it in a garlic alfredo sauce. I browned some chicken breast medallions in grapeseed oil with a little pepper melange, and sauteed some fresh spinach and minced garlic in the leftover chicken drippings. Pasta, topped with chicken, topped with spinach.
Served with a green dinner salad. Very easy.

I put some chicken tenders in a bag with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and sage and poured some (two tablespoons?) olive oil in. I smooshed everything around to blend, then lit the grill and let the chicken get all sexy until the coals were ready. Survey says: Yum!

I got back into town later in the evening last night and since my wife is also out of town I decided to take my roommate out to dinner since she's been so great about helping me with my makeup and things.
She's been drooling over the Corona Beach Bake at Joe's Crab Shack - simply because it has two lobsters in it, so I before my flight for home took off yesterday I offered to meet her there.
Frankly my food wasn't very good (a bowl of claw chowder and a burger of some sort), but she inhaled hers - two (smallish) lobsters, clams, shrimp, a sausage, and an ear of corn. It was actually kind of disturbing to watch as I'm not big on food that still has it's eyes and those lobsters seemed to be staring at me. :)

I went out for my birthday to a wine and tapas place for dinner. I had a margarita and some lobster on a bread thing (crostini?), this eggplant thing which I didn't like too much also on a crostini, and some ahi tuna (not pictured). Totally overpriced but good.

I cooked a pasta thing with shrimp and tomatoes yesterday, and made a sauce with stock made by cooking the shrimp shells flavored with sherry, garlic, Old Bay, ginger, a pinch of nutmeg, an Italian herb mix (homemade) with extra basil and some lemon juice. I thickened it with a roux. It came out really good!
Grilled ribeye steaks with fresh corn on the cob (picked fresh) tonight, with a green salad and some nice red wine, maybe a Syrah (Shiraz in AU) or a merlot. A cabernet sauvignon is not one of spouse's favorites although I would enjoy one. I tend to like drier wines than she does. I haven't decided on a dessert yet. It's too late to bake something. Some pears poached in red wine might be nice, I could do that fairly quickly.
It's nice to have a little extra $ to buy a nice bottle or two. I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts! ^_^

This chicken. As you can see, I do my outdoor cooking on the $9 walmart grill. Does it taste as good as it looks? I cooked it with indirect heat (coals on one side, chicken on the other) with the grill tilted so the chicken fat drips on the coals for about an hour. I've been feeding the fire wild grapevines for about an hour since then. So yeah, it's going to taste as good as it looks!

If you want a salt bomb, take some Fritos and melt some shredded cheese all over them in the microwave or oven. Then top it with some hot Wolf brand chili, no beans.

Aww, cmon now, how can you have a "steak (vegetarian)"? I'm sorry Kuan Yin but I have to say boo on that little stretch of meaning in the name of being vegetarian.
Kia Ora Joules,
::) Are cows vegetarian ? ;)
I've been vegetarian for nearly 40 years and over this period of time there has been some major developments when it comes to what's on offer in the way of vegetarian "mock-meats" ...Nowadays one can get mock bacon, ham, pork, chicken, duck,lamb,fish,shrimp (and of course mock steak in black bean sauce ::) yummy)...In Asia especially places like China, mock meats are big business...
I buy some of my 'mock' meats from a shop called 'Blissfuls' it's a Chinese Buddhist shop which caters for the local Chinese/Asian Buddhist and Taoists communities...
Some vegetarians don't eat meat because they don't like the taste (many can't even stand the taste of mock meat), but they have no qualms about the animals being kill for their flesh.... As for myself, I don't agree with breeding and killing fellow sentient beings (animals) just to gorge upon their flesh...
:eusa_think: You are what you eat, some say, well at least I'm not a gluts
Along with a little fruit, beans and vegetables I'm quite happy being nuts ! ;D
::) But in saying all this I feel a last word should be said-
I would sooner be a 'nutjob' than a graveyard for their dead ! (animals that is) ;) ;D
But it's "Different Strokes For Different Folks!"
So what are you having for dinner Joules ? ;) ;D

I meant no offense, I hope none was taken. I have tried some mock meats and in truth they aren't all that bad. I really should move more in that direction myself, I have many telltale health issues from too much red meat in my lifetime (Gout, High Cholesterol, Colon Polyps, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis (?)) I did try some turkey breakfast sausage recently, bleaahhh. Kind of sad about that, I'm a huge fan of breakfast sausage but it's one thing I've cut from my diet for cholesterol concerns. Unfortunately, this particular brand of turkey sausage wasn't even close...
What am I having for dinner? I have one last T-Bone in the fridge, red and it used to say "MOO". I should freeze it and make some curried chicken breast, but I'll let my stomach decide in a few hours....
Kia Ora Joules,
No offense taken...I just like to ramble on ;) ;D
Well I hope you find a suitable healthy diet...

To review, from page 11, I present steak, beef:
Quote from: Devlyn Marie on March 04, 2013, 07:46:43 PM
For my anniversary, I thought a steak would be nice. I picked up this ribeye, one and a half inches thick ($15), brined it in salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, a spritz of soy sauce and a few tablespoons of water. Four minutes to a side in a rocket hot pan, eight minutes rest wrapped in foil, and presto! How did I do?

Before it begins to get too chilly, I fired up the Weber Kettle. After all, it is still summer! Using mesquite charcoal, I smoked a couple of large boneless skinless chicken breasts. Could have served four, easily, but I was cooking for two.
When you do it right, "low and slow," the meat (be it beef, pork, lamb, or poultry) will form a "patina" on the outside, which picks up the wonderful smoke flavoring.
For serving, I sliced the breasts into medallions.

I went on an experimental cooking rampage this morning. I decided to try making spinach squares without a recipe. Thawed and drained some frozen spinach (pain in the ass. will use fresh next time). Mixed it with ricotta cheese, couple eggs, onion powder, lemon pepper, celery salt, and pepper. Smushed it into a buttered pyrex dish and baked it.
Then I tried some lowish carb shepard's pie. Cooked some cauliflower and put it in the food processor with some greek yogurt, sauteed onions, other seasonings. Mixed that with a baked potato and some peas to make the base. Then seared some beef and cut it up and put it on top along with some more sauteed onions (everything sauteed in red palm oil). It all turned out okay but pretty a little bland for my taste. I'll go heavier on the seasonings next time. Also meant to put some Parmesan in both and forgot.
Made enough food that I'll be having leftovers for a few days.

Fred Meyer had a closeout sale on the big bags of white (navy) beans, so I've been having those with brown basmati rice. I got bored with it and so the last bowl I added a ton of curry and red pepper and california olive oil and used it for dip with some awesome and cheap whole grain "party" bread from the day-old racks.

I made a Tandoori marinade earlier in the day (while I could not access the site >:() and put in 5 chicken thighs for several hours. Then, while the site was still down, I made some saffron rice with dried chopped dates.
After checking to see if the site was yet available, I broiled the chicken on each side until crispy, then moved to the lower rack and baked at 450F until the internal temperature of the thighs reached 170F.
In the marinade I used a honey youghurt, garam masala, cardomom, cumin, tumeric, garlic, ginger, onion, lemon juice, FGBP. No added salt or MSG.
I did not have any Indian naan bread, so I used pitas instead.

Just cooking for two tonight.
I had two fairly plump breasts ... of chicken! ... to work with. ::) A can of store-brand baked beans, and some frozen corn. So here is what I did.
As an hor d'oeuvre, I thin-sliced a baguette of multigrain bread, and served it with some pomegranate balsamic vinegar and Sonoma smoked olive oil.
I took a slice of smoked thick cut bacon and rendered it until near crisp. I added the bacon to the beans in the sauce pan, and then added some brown sugar, ketchup, and a splash of bourbon whiskey. Put it on medium-low to warm without boiling.
In the cast iron skillet which was used for the bacon, I add the two boneless, skinless breasts, with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper, and on high heat browned the breast on both sides. When the breasts had been seared, I transferred the skillet to the oven at 350F for about 25 minutes. Made sure the breasts were not drying out - important - the searing helps seal in the moisture. When the breasts were ready, I pulled them out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. During that time I cooked the corn according the the microwave directions.
When the corn was finished, I added some salted butter and a bit of black pepper. Plated everything, and served with some hickory barbecue sauce. Couldn't be much easier. ;)

Start with a great fall dessert.
Pumkin bread pudding,
drunken dried fruit
cinnamon chips and a hint of bourbon.
A little butter pecan or even vanilla ice cream is perfect accompaniment
For presentation try a carmel drizzel

Earlier today I started a seven-bone beef roast in the crock pot, with two cups of water and two bottles of Coors beer. I just now added some chunky sliced potatoes, carrots, celery, and elephant garlic.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-0hxSgklt1Gw%2FUaBZxIXvuGI%2FAAAAAAAAA9M%2Fi9CeOCjAoPk%2Fs1600%2Fajo4a.jpg&hash=96a8487ce6dd073a5add13f08a81912f24c6da57)
So, elephant garlic might not be too familiar with most people. It is not just a big garlic! It is actually related to the leek, and has a much milder flavor than true garlic. They are quite good roasted whole.

Ask your grocer.
ELEPHANT GARLIC (Allium ampeloprasum)
There is some mystery and controversy about the sudden appearance of this vegetable in the last few years. One plausible explanation suggests that Elephant Garlic (Allium Ampdoprasum), is originally from the East Mediterranean, and was taken to the State of Oregon in the U.S.A. by immigrants from the Eastern Balkans, for their own use. It was re-discovered in their abandoned settlement in 1941, by a plantsman who selected it for size. It has also been suggested that Elephant Garlic and Leeks have both been selected over many centuries from wild garlic. Certainly, ordinary garlic, elephant garlic and leeks, all have the same form of flat, strap-like leaves, while onions and shallots have round, hollow leaves.

Last I checked, not in any local stores that I noticed.
i have a fascination with grocery stores. The first time I was ever in one, I was 17 years old. I was so awed like most kids when they go to Disney world or something.

The truth is that I thought I had some canned shrimp in the cupboard, but I didn't. I had tuna, and under the tuna I found a can of canned crab that was about a year past code. So I said, "what the heck," and stirfried that baby in there.
It was really good!

Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish... All the other Bon Scott fans can have it. Why do I have to be allergic to all of that?
I planned for Chinese food to be delivered today but I'm not craving it at all. If only mah face didn't look like it was stung by 1000 bees...

Going to have to go find and buy pigeon peas now. Never heard of them.
I'm really exhilarated by my cooking lately. When I'm seriously depressed or twitchy, I don't deal with food and eating in a good way. I have to be happy to be creative and enjoy it, and that seems to be coming back. My daughter asks for foods she reads about in her manga, and we make those. We go go to restaurants and later mimic what we eat. We re-invent stuff we've vaguely understood from others' storytelling. It's so good. It's all my daughter and I have in common, other than the cat. And the cat hates her.
When she was younger we made zucchini bread a lot, and we recently tried that and subbed pumpkin for the zucchini. Not super exciting, but it's not bad.

Lite n Easy(c)(I think) Spaghetti Bolognese. Not sure what is in it exactly but at a guess, spaghetti, beef mince, bolognese sauce and melted cheese(not sure what type maybe cheddar). Quick and easy 8min in the microwave and ready to eat.

Dinner is done, this morning I strarted a batch of crock pot beans, they were done when I got home from work, I fried up some spicy Polish sausage and prepared minute rice. mix and top with plenty of Franks hot sauce.
The beans are a mixed variety my mom gets out of her garden, nothing rare, just a mix similar to what you find at the store. The were crock pot cooked with a ham-hock, modest amount of brown sugar, 1/2 cup ground garden peppers, adequate salt.
It's a only loosely related to the way Zatarains red beans and rice tastes. My prep is much sweeter/more peppery with the brown sugar, and literally a cup of pepper between the franks and garden peppers.
edit added: Time to go hit the elliptical to burn 600 calories, with my weight loss goal in sight(25 pounds to go) it'd be awesome to hit it by SRS day and be in shape to boot.

Felix, I didn't know what pigeon peas were either. I've recently become a vegetarian and was looking for something new. I have a small Tropical Food grocery store across the street from me and found a can of them there. Apparently they are used in Indian food, so I've probably had them already and didn't know it!
Devlyn, there's a restaurant called Veggie Heaven that makes dishes with tofu and you would swear it was beef or chicken! I don't know how they do it. :)

1/2 of a chicken, fried. Claimed to be the best fried chicken in Minnesota according to the bar. I see no reason to dispute that claim either. Making it better is that I am with my SO on new years eve.

My father pushed us aside for his arrogant piece of sh** rude vulgar wh*re. My brother refuses to realize that. I think my father may be the gold digger here though. He barely has money and is in debt. Her family, while not really rich, is well off enough to ensure a comfy life. Oh and he REFUSES to pay my mother alimony and has done so for almost two years now.

Going out for Mexican food at Casa Vega in Sherman Oaks. I think it's got to be the oldest Mexican place in the Valley.
The cheese enchiladas are my junk food this week. Hey- it's still vegetarian!
Why do I always want to call the place "Casa Verga"?

I love the old Mexican restaurants. My earliest memories of eating out was at the El Tecolote in Camarillo when we came up to visit the grandparents. It was originally founded in Moorpark in the late 40s. Love the chili rellenos and chicken tacos.
When I was a student, El Cholo on Western (1923) was the place to go.

I will start off with an appetizer of "Wheat Snack Bread" which is a single slice of bread, that is incredibly dense. That will be topped with Apple butter 1.5oz, gently squeezed from it's plastic pouch.
Then, for the main course, I will have "Vegetable Lasanga" prepared in the finest water powered chemical reaction pouch the armed forces has yet devised.
MRE eating at it's finest. No, actually the Chicken with Feta and Tomatoes is actually the finest.
1 case of MREs for $80 along with about $30 in instant noodles, soup, and bottled water has lasted me nearly 3 weeks now. So, it might not be gourmet but, it sure is cost effective.

Today I marinated a Lebanese Chicken for tomorrow. I went off of meat for the first 2 months of the year to lose some muscle mass, but I ended up eating more carbs than I should have. Anyway, my arms are looking a bit less dudely, my thighs are now looking chunky and femme and I have bigger bewbs. Mission accomplished.
I highly recommend this dish and hope you non-vegetarians will give this a shot. You MUST try this.
LEBANESE CHICKEN
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice. (I squeeze my own)
8 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 whole chicken or whatever chicken cuts you like. Thighs are especially awesome with this marinade.
Whisk together lemon, garlic, thyme, paprika, cumin and cayenne in a bowl. Put chicken in a 1 gallon ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Massage the marinade in and coat the chicken evenly. Let the marinade soak in for at least 6 hours, but I like to do it a day in advance. Turn the chicken occasionally to keep it coated evenly.
When it is time to cook, pull the chicken out and season with salt and pepper.
I like to do an entire chicken on a rotisserie, but it can also be done on a BBQ or in a 425 degree oven. If you bake it, transfer the chicken and marinade to a large roasting pan, bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, basting occasionally with pan juices/marinade. 40-50 minutes. Serve with lemon and pan juices. I like this with hummus, tabouli and whole wheat pita on the side.
I dare you to make this.

Sirloin steak. I rub them with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then I put them in my toaster oven on broil for about 4 mins on each side. Sooooooooooooooooooo good. Melt-in-your mouth good. They hardly need chewing. I only recently discovered how easy to prepare and inexpensive they are. I wish I'd discovered this sooner.

Sirloin steak. I rub them with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then I put them in my toaster oven on broil for about 4 mins on each side. Sooooooooooooooooooo good. Melt-in-your mouth good. They hardly need chewing. I only recently discovered how easy to prepare and inexpensive they are. I wish I'd discovered this sooner.
Top sirloin is a great cut and reasonably priced. I like rib eye steaks also, extremely tasty but they are way fat and that needs to be cut out on your plate!

Tonight, I just gathered up all the things that we're sitting in the fridge and threw them in a frying pan. Frozen broccoli, chicken breast, chick peas, raisins, added some curry powder, seasoning and garlic and let it simmer for half an hour.
I thought it was going to be a mistake, but it was actually all right. And thank goodness for that :D

Roasted two chickens that I got for 79 cents a pound on a counter-top roaster, we'll be having chicken for awhile, the remainder will be rendered into chicken enchiladas, some frozen for a later time.

Image 1: Yep, this is as crazy as it looks. Double bacon cheeseburger loaded with lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, and jalapenos, with onion rings, fries, and, the favorite of many spiro takers like me, the pickle. If you notice something odd coming off the top of that burger, it's a knife jammed into it, not only so you can cut it, but so the beer-battered onion rings stay in their tower like position.
Not to mention the blue cheese dressing, smoky barbecue sauce, and the buffalo sauce, for the burger and onion rings. This makes for a creamy, smoky, spicy sauce that really goes with any kind of pub grub, and while rich, is absolutely decadent. Of course, I changed it up for the fries, as I like them how the other side of the pond adores them: Malt vinegar, and a pinch of salt, with just the tiniest bit of pepper in there. Delish.
And I honestly needed something fattening, I was starting to feel my ribs without sucking in air earlier, didn't eat the rest of the day, and my BMI is only like 20. Didn't make my sari any less tight, though!
Image 2: Chocolate cake with whipped cream icing, with fresh raspberries. Basically a name change cake! :)
I don't mind if you quote the first image on this page, in fact I'd be honored, as I loved that shot. 2nd one, no...that one's kind of personal.

Off to bed with me, but tomorrow I'm looking forward to making another one of my (in)famous pizzas from scratch. Tonight I made burritos and chocolate chip cookies.
Can you all believe I used to think I hated cooking? It turned out that my aversions to what are generally considered traditionally female activities were just dysphoria triggers.

I will start off with an appetizer of "Wheat Snack Bread" which is a single slice of bread, that is incredibly dense. That will be topped with Apple butter 1.5oz, gently squeezed from it's plastic pouch.
Then, for the main course, I will have "Vegetable Lasanga" prepared in the finest water powered chemical reaction pouch the armed forces has yet devised.
MRE eating at it's finest. No, actually the Chicken with Feta and Tomatoes is actually the finest.
1 case of MREs for $80 along with about $30 in instant noodles, soup, and bottled water has lasted me nearly 3 weeks now. So, it might not be gourmet but, it sure is cost effective.
I can't cook beyond steak and beans and spaghetti, and I have terrible eating habits that I know are going to catch up with me in the long run so I decided to try an MRE today. The entree was spicy noodles with a side of vanilla pudding, the dense bread and peanut butter, a chocolate toaster pastry (seriously, that's what it says) and an orange drink powder. The entree was a little too spicy for my taste but very edible. The rest was actually quite delicious. I like that it's a rather large meal so I can save some for later.
Cases of MREs are going for sixty or so around here if I understood correctly, I'll be picking one up when money permits. Thanks for reminding me these are an option.

Moved from another thread. Comfort food at its finest!
Jill's Quick and Dirty Spaghetti Carbonara (I have another version that's a bit more gourmet and involved.)
2 or 3 eggs- room temperature
Kraft Parmesan cheese (the tall cylindrical shaker with the green label)
1/2 pound uncooked bacon strips (or more... )
3/4 cup sour cream- allowed to warm to room temperature (lite or fat free if you like)
1 pound or package spaghetti
salt
pepper
Boil water, add 1 tablespoon salt. Do not add oil.
Cut bacon into 3/4" strips crosswise and crisp in frying pan, stirring well and separating so they cook uniformly. Pull cooked pieces individually from pan as they begin to turn and place on paper towel. Don't overcook (don't burn any) and save the bacon grease! (very important)
Add spaghetti to boiling water, stir vigorously to separate it for the first minute and cook until done (if it sticks to the wall, it's overdone). This is a matter of personal taste.
While the spaghetti cooks, break eggs (2-3, depending on size and personal taste) into mixing bowl and stir in (this is pre-grated, folks!) parmesan cheese until a thin batter is created. Take the bottom of a fork and scrape the batter up the edges of the bowl. if it falls back down into a pool of goo, add cheese until it all sticks. having a thin layer over the most surface area is best.
Drain spaghetti quickly and fully, as to retain the most heat and remove the most liquid and dump into mixing bowl. Take two forks and quickly integrate the cheese/egg mixture with the pasta. The pasta will cook the egg. Keep stirring vigorously until fully cooked and integrated.
Add bacon bits, 3/4 cup sour cream (more or less) depending on taste and as much of that bacon grease you like. Salt and pepper to taste. I love lots of pepper.
Stir until fully mixed and serve immediately. I like a Barolo or Barbaresco with this, but a big Pinot Noir will work.
Ciao!

Today I'm making this awesome super tasty Middle Eastern dish: Yogurt-marinated Chicken Kebabs with Aleppo Pepper. Aleppo pepper isn't easy to find, but it's super tasty. If you can't find it or order it off the internet, then you can substitute dried crushed red pepper and paprika.
1 1/2 tablespoons Aleppo pepper OR 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper plus 2 teaspoons paprika.
1 cup plain whole milk Greek styple yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 garlic cloves peeled and flattened
1 lemon thinly sliced into rounds
up to 2 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken cut into 1 1/2" cubes. I like thighs for this recipe, but you can do breasts as well
If you were lucky enough to find the Aleppo pepper, place in large bowl and mix in 1 tablespoon warm water. Let stand 5 mins. If using red pepper and paprika mix in 2 tablespoons warm water and let stand. Add in the rest of the ingredients, stir and add chicken. Cover and chill overnight.
Place chicken onto skewers, toss the marinade, sprinkle each skewer with salt, pepper and additional Aleppo or paprika. Brush grill with oil. Grill until cooked through, turning occasionally 10-12 mins. I like to use a charcoal grill for this particular dish.
Serve with lemon wedges, hummus, tabouli and pita.
Yummm!

I'll be eating a lot more salads now. Last night I ripped up a lot of Romaine lettuce, added diced red bell pepper, rotisserie chicken, some pepperoni bits, and then topped it off with some home made blue cheese dressing. I don't like that most dressing are made with soybean oil so I made mine with extra virgin olive oil. Was very yummy and satisfying. I made some cauliflower mash too but just let my friends eat it. The salad was enough. I love that mash but I'm afraid I'm going to get sick of it from eating it too often. It's my low-carb version of mashed potatoes but it's actually way tastier.

Hi again,
Today I marinated some lamb for another one of my Middle East style meals. I know I've given away a few of my recipes for Middle Eastern food, which is something I love to make. (Have I thrown you all my baked falafel recipe yet? I don't remember...)
Anyway, this one is super easy and very tasty.
Marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 or 2 cloves minced garlic, depending on size and personal taste. I personally like it a bit garlicky...
Assemble marinade in a 1 gallon plastic bag and add about a pound of lamb. You can use any cut you like (or can find...). Sometimes I like loin chops and rib chops, other times I will use sirloin or shoulder cut into 1 inch (more or less) cubes (more or less) for kebabs. I like to marinate for over 24 hours...
These are best cooked on the BBQ grill and served upwards of medium rare, depending on personal taste. When I make kebabs, I like to make the skewer(s) with veggies separate from the meat ones, as to guarantee I cook both the veggies and meat to perfection.
Serve with hummus, tabouli, babaganouj, pita and/or whatever fun side dishes you like. I personally like my hummus served with olive oil drizzle, pine nuts, sumac, and sometimes paprika or Aleppo pepper. I also recommend whole wheat pita for its flavor, extra fiber content and lower glycemic index.
BTW- did anyone catch my meatball recipe I put up yesterday??? It's right there in the cooking forum as its own topic. Highly recommended!
Bon appetit!

Charlie Sheen Salad
In salad bowl-
2oz Crumbled blue cheese, preferably Maytag
2oz Crumbled walnuts
4oz Spring greens
Mix dressing in separate small bowl-
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar (use the good stuff if you can, and add a tiny bit of honey if not sweet enough)
1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
Ground pepper to taste
Toss and enjoy. I call this a "Charlie Sheen" salad because walnuts and blue cheese go together like blow and hookers. (or so I've been told...)

Here's an easy recipe that is low-carb, low calorie and very tasty. You must try this! We prepped one last night for tonight's dinner.
Herbed Balsamic Chicken Breast and Arugula
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (5 to 6 ounces each)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
2-1 ounce slices blue cheese (Maytag works beautifully)
Baby arugula
Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag. Whisk vinegar, oil, and half the coarse salt+pepper in small bowl. Add to chicken; seal bag. Chill 2 hours minimum or preferably overnight, turning bag occasionally.
Put barbecue on medium-high heat and brush grill rack generously with oil. Arrange chicken on grill. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence and remaining salt and pepper. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side, and add the slices of cheese on top at the last minute. Serve on top of a bed of baby arugula tossed with balsmic vinegar, olive oil and ground black pepper to taste.

2-1 ounce slices blue cheese (Maytag works beautifully)
Baby arugula
Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag. Whisk vinegar, oil, and half the coarse salt+pepper in small bowl. Add to chicken; seal bag. Chill 2 hours minimum or preferably overnight, turning bag occasionally.
Put barbecue on medium-high heat and brush grill rack generously with oil. Arrange chicken on grill. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence and remaining salt and pepper. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side, and add the slices of cheese on top at the last minute. Serve on top of a bed of baby arugula tossed with balsmic vinegar, olive oil and ground black pepper to taste.
Bon appetit!

Slow Cooker Easy Chile Rellenos, or Jill's Jackasserole (new Jill-ism of the day)
Hi again! Here's one of my vegetarian guilty pleasures.
1 24oz(ish) can whole green chiles (roasted even better)
4 oz lowfat jack cheese, shredded
4 oz lowfat cheddar cheese, shredded
1 14oz can diced tomatoed with garilc, oregano and basil
1 5oz can evaporated milk (not sweetened!)
4 eggs
2 Tablespoons flour
Spray the crock pot/slow cooker with PAM or whatever nonstick spray on hand. Drain can of green chiles, slice each one in half lengthwise and line the bottom of the pot one layer thick with the skin side down.
Take 1/3 of the jack and spread it evenly over the chiles. Do the same with 1/3 of the cheddar. Make another layer of chiles and cheeses in the same order, and again once more for three total layers.
Drain some of the liquid from the tomato can and spread the entire can over the top.
Break 4 eggs into a bowl, scramble with the evaporated milk and slowly add flour until incorporated. Break up any chunks of flour (sifting might be cool here) before adding it to the mixture, and make sure it is smooth before adding this mixture as the top layer of the casserole.
Cook on high for 2-3 hours, and it's OK to suck or paper towel the fat layer from the top if one arises.
I like to add black pepper and hot sauce (Cholula!) after it has been served up.

Grilled Halibut With Lemon, Dijon and Tarragon (Sorry, I don't have a fun name for this fish dish!)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon (fresh preferred) or 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
lemon slices
1/8 cup Dijon mustard
fresh tarragon, chopped
2 halibut steaks
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
1/8 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper
In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, zest, mustard, tarragon, and chives, then gradually whisk in the olive oil until well incorporated to make the marinade; season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Place fish steaks in a Ziplock bag (or use a large shallow dish w/ cover), then add the marinade, close the bag securely, and refrigerate 2 hours minimum. I like to do it overnight
Prepare your barbecue or grill pan to medium temperature. Brush with olive oil to prevent sticking if you like, but I prefer to use fish baskets on the grill so I don't lose any.
Grill the fish about 3 inches from the coals, or in the grill pan, for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or to desired doneness. (Don't overcook- dry fish sucks!)
Garnish with lemon slices and tarragon if you wish and serve immediately.
I like this with wild rice or pilaf and steamed carrots.

Wow, have I not posted a recipe in a month?
OK, here's my baked falafel recipe that I am about to make:
15-20z can chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 brown onion
6 Tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
2-3 cloves garlic (I like more...)
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
pinch of cayenne
1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil (also use some on baking sheet)
salt, pepper and paprika to taste
YOU WILL NEED A FOOD PROCESSOR FOR THIS
Preheat oven to 400 F
Roughly chop the herbs, onion and garlic so that the food processor can grind it finely.
Put everything in the food processor, pulse it and scrape the sides down until it is all finely processed, but not pureed.
It should all be slightly wet and hold together well. If it is too dry, add olive oil. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Make small balls with a cookie scoop if you have one and space evenly on oiled cookie sheet. Cook 10 minutes on one side, turn over and cook 15 minutes on second side.
I like to serve this with a dip that I make with Greek yogurt, tahini, garlic and a bit of lemon juice. I don't have a recipe for that because I make it up as I go along.
I also like to serve these with pita bread, hummus (with sumac, olive oil and pine nuts on top) and tabouli.

No your stew looked delicious and is perfect Fall/Winter fare. Presentation is every bit as important as smell and taste. This is meant as no offense to any ethnicity but my wife commented about how lacking the presentation is when served a burrito with rice and refried beans. "It reminds me of a turd with a side of diarrhea and maggots" her words not mine, but we did have a chuckle over it anyway.

Marinade skinless, boneless chicken breast in balsamic vinaigrette. Saute in a pan, then add heavy cream, more vinaigrette, balsamic vinegar if it's too sweet. In the last minute or so add sweet peppers and perhaps green beans. Season to taste, serve over orechette.

I thought I had posted it before but can't find it. No secrets involved, my mom never made this one. I cook by eye, not recipes, but this is based on a white sauce, that ratio is important. In a basic white sauce, 1/4 cup of fat (butter) plus 1/4 cup of flour will thicken two cups of liquid (milk). Let's begin!
1 lb ground beef (or sausage, chicken, turkey, veal, your choice)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter (or a little less, depending on amount of fat in the meat)
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
Splash of wine (optional, but recommended)
Soy sauce
Bullion cube or salt
A spice rack full of your favourites (I used onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and parsley.
Brown the meat, then clear a hole in the center of the pan and cook the garlic there for one minute. Push the meat and garlic to one side. Now, either drain the fat and use all the butter, or add enough butter to the fat to get what looks like a quarter cup of fat. Add the flour to the fat and stir it constantly for two or three minutes or else your sauce will taste like uncooked flour (paste!). Right about now you put an onlooker to work making toast. When your roux is cooked, stir it all through the meat and add your onion and cook a few minutes, then add the seasonings and bouillon cube. Cook it a minute to wake the seasonings and put in the wine and soy sauce. Cook one minute to drive off the alcohol and add the milk. Stir frequently until it comes to a boil, it will be thick when it does.

Now, either drain the fat and use all the butter, or add enough butter to the fat to get what looks like a quarter cup of fat. Add the flour to the fat and stir it constantly for two or three minutes or else your sauce will taste like uncooked flour (paste!). Right about now you put an onlooker to work making toast. When your roux is cooked, stir it all through the meat and add your onion and cook a few minutes, then add the seasonings and bouillon cube. Cook it a minute to wake the seasonings and put in the wine and soy sauce. Cook one minute to drive off the alcohol and add the milk. Stir frequently until it comes to a boil, it will be thick when it does.

Shake n' Bake pork chops and green beans. Shake n' Bake is one of the few pre-packaged food items I buy. I'm perfectly capable of making seasoned bread crumbs, but there's just something going on there I can't duplicate.

Slow cooked slices of pepperoni in home made pasta sauce. Ravioli too, but whatever. The important thing is eating those thick, meaty, juicy chunks of pepperoni. Yum!

I want to start a new thread about what we are eating at the moment.
The idea behind this is that many of us live alone and we need to keep healthy. We may have not much money and we may not have a lot of time or energy.
So what are we going to cook tonight to keep us healthy?
These are basic meals. If you use commercial ingredients try and use a web link as they vary from place to place.
If your meal has a copyright please include it, ie you need to quote where you got it from with due acknowledgement to the author and publication.
Veal with tomato and stuff.
For one and has left overs that can be frozen or kept at 4C (fridge)
About 250 grams of veal, lean.
Cut into strips and discard fat etc.
Put into a casserole dish with a tin of diced tomatoes.
Add pepper and 'Italian' flavour (gourmetgarden.com Italian Herb Paste or equivalent)
Some stock or water to dilute out without being too runny.
Cook at about 190-200C for about 30 mins.
While cooling make instant rice.
I use one of the commercial cook in the microwave for 90 seconds rice with flavour, such as Uncle Ben's Mexican Flavour Rice.
When cooked, add rice to casserole mix and stir, serve with some dry bread.
Very tasty costs not much and can be adapted.
Prep time 5 mins.
Cooking time 40 mins.
Obviously this can be adapted for any sort of meat and gives a quick and healthy meal. Add veggies if you have them.

I made enchiladas with tortilla chips and guacamole, never made enchiladas before but it was fairly easy and inexpensive mostly because most of the ingredients were on the "FREE TABLE" and mama Virginia's cupboards are quickly becoming bare and we're hardly halfway through the month ::)
Anyway, it seem to come out good but I felt like a contestant on one of those cooking shows and I'm pretty sure my butt will turn into a human flame thrower by morning

Tonight we're making pasta with meat sauce.
Last night I had grilled chicken, cook up rice (which my wife made) and some sweet potatoes grilled with BBQ sauce. It was good!
The cook up rice is basically rice with black eye peas. It's similar to the Jamaican rice and peas that one would eat with curry goat.

In preparation for tonight Sweetie made coleslaw last night.

I take it a step further. I brown hamburger in the pan, drain the fat and add garlic, cook one minute, add a chopped onion, cook a couple minutes, then I add wine, seasonings, the pasta, a can of tomato sauce and enough water to barely cover it all. Bring it to a rolling boil and cook it uncovered until the water has disappeared. I like to listen to it, when it changes from bubbling to sizzling, the water is gone. At this point, take it off the heat and test the pasta, if it needs more cooking just cover and let sit for ten or fifteen minutes. It takes some jiggering, but makes the best spaghetti you ever had. On that note, straght spaghetti is the hardest to use with this method. Shapes are better.
Tonight I made shake 'n bake pork chops and carrots.

Hi Devlin!
1. Starting the day before, I rubbed the pork with a mixture of garlic, red pepper, freshly ground coriander and fenugreek, and salt -- also made some little slits in the meat and pushed some of the mixture in. Let it sit for a while (several hours is good). Then I browned it on all sides, cooked some chopped onions in the same pan, put them in a crock pot and added 2-3 cups of water. Cooked for about 6 hours, let it cool, and refrigerated it in the liquid. The next day I removed the fat from the surface and slowly reheated it. Strained the juices, reduced them by about half, and added some balsamic vinegar; then turned the juices into a thicker sauce. (I added cornstarch/cold water -- next time I'll do it properly and make a roux.) Combined sauce and meat, heated through, added about half a cup of chopped cilantro, served.
You can do this with all sorts of spice combinations: I'm also fond of using one with allspice, juniper berries, and hot pepper -- and of course you can use any combination of water, stock, wine, cider, or even beer.
2. Yes -- they're easy and delicious. Next time I'm going to make 4 times the quantity and keep the extra in the fridge.
2 red apples (nice crunchy ones)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 T peeled, sliced ginger
1/2 tsp allspice berries
1/4 tsp whole peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
Quarter, core, and slice apples lengthwise. Boil vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pickling spice in a saucepan, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add apples and return to a boil. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and cool. Chill, uncovered, until cold, overnight or longer -- they keep. Drain and remove spices before serving.

Thanks! I made pulled pork in a crock pot using root beer as the cooking liquid with the onions, garlic, and spices, it came out really nice. My recipe for jalapeno wine makes a gallon and ends in a footnote: You'll wish you made five gallons.

Too spicy for the kids though. And given that their mom is a vegetarian I was the only one eating it. But it was good!!!

Ooh, tonight I'm making a dirty rice soup. I'll start with some chicken sausage broken up, I'm hoping to find some chicken liver while I'm out today, browned with a nice fond on the bottom of the pan. With the meat set aside I'll deglaze and add short grain white rice, I can't have whole grains. For the vegie ellement I have a nice little red cabbage and some fresh basil that I'll shred. I'm also adding some gemelli pasta for texture at the end when I put the meat back in.
It will be so dern good! Even if I can't find any liver...

Props for saying chicken livers, nobody uses them anymore. Down in WV there was a drive-in diner that would occasionally put out a sign "Pan fried chicken livers $7.95" The line would go down the street.

Growing up, I always loved giblet gravy. When I hit my late teens I became a vegetarian and stayed that way for 12 years. But when I quit drinking and I began to question my whole sense of self I went back to meat. I wanted to have turkey and giblet gravy for Thanksgiving, reconnect with my family. Since then I have become an outright fan of organ meats. I started eating rabbit a year or two back and discovered that pan fried rabbit heart is one of the best tiny morsels on the face of the planet!

The secret to my mashed potatoes? Two sticks of butter for every five pounds of spuds and heavy cream. Alas, I have become lactose intolerant to an extreme degree. I think I od'd . As a vegetarian I lived on dairy. I was more of an ovo-lactitarian. I still don't care for veggies!
Anyway, drifting off topic...

Going to Mozza tonight. I can't decide which pizza to have, so I think I'll just order three and take the leftovers home.

Of course I throw the dough, but only after the bubbles have been rolled out and popped with the secret recipe I use. I used to toss pies in 2 different restaurants whilst in college and have made literally thousands of pies. If I don't pop the bubbles, the pizza gets fat bubbles and the cheese slides away in the oven.
I let the dough rise in a plastic tub in the fridge for 24 hours, then dump the puffy disc on a lightly floured surface after it has been out of the fridge for about an hour. I punch it flat, while ensuring that it stays round. I roll it out flat to about 8 inches in diameter (evenly, as to keep it round), then stretch it to about 11 inches by hand. I give it 2-3 quick tosses in the air until it gets to about 14 inches, then put it on the **chef's secret** to dress it and cook it.

Thin crust is the only crust. If you can't fold your slice then you aren't eating pizza what you have is a flat bread. Just speaking from the Jersey perspective. I love living in Boston but it is very difficult to get good pizza here. Same Old Place in JP, in case anyone wants good tri state style pizza in Boston.

Y'all are killing me with all this mac and cheese talk. It is my favorite meal but I have a newly diagnosed condition that precludes me from consuming it. I had had mac and cheese for every single birthday since the first one until last year. 35 consecutive b day dinners it was the only celebration I allowed myself. I had sausages this past year. I miss mac and cheese so much. I loved all kinds from frozen to dry powder to homemade. My best itteration used sage d'arby and green pees. It looked gross but was oh so good!

Left over dirty rice, homemade and very savory with big piecs of liver. And I just made applesauce for the first time. I improvised a recipie. 2 large Macintosh apples peeled and minced. 1 1/2 cups of water, pinch of salt, 5 cloves, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon coriander and one tablespoon of raw honey. Boiled it all for 45 minutes mashing it every five minutes. It tastes amazing and worked out to a twelve ounce jar. It will be so good cold with the hot rice.
I think I just found a new hobby. I used to make cheese but can't eat dairy any more. I do love to boil and preserve stuff.

I'm doing the traditional New England brown bread in a coffee can, but I make it in a steel bowl instead of a can.
You make that from scratch? Ooh, delicious!

I sure do. It's in the steamer now and comes out at 4:00 but honestly it's better tomorrow when I butter the slices and give it a quick fry. Sometimes I substitute orange or lemon extract for the vanilla.

Just a bit of story first... When I lived in various beach towns on the west coast I loved to get fish and chips off the local fishing wharf, it's one of the things I've missed most since moving inland
Well, I don't really trust the local grocery here on their idea of fresh fish so I get these little $1.25 packets from ocean eclipse seafood of Alaskan Pollock, Rockfish, Cod or Salmon which work out great for a single serving
There is also another brand called Nautilus that offers a nice 2LB bag of Alaskan Pollock fillets that I actually like better
Just run it under a slow stream of cold water to defrost while mixing up some breading and you're ready to roll

Alaskan Pollock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_pollock)
We get fresh North Atlantic fish here. I season my fish with salt, pepper, and a tiny bit of both garlic and onion powder, then I put it in a Ziploc bag with a couple tablespoons of water, mix it up and let the fish soak up the water. Then I put about a cup of flour in the bag and shake it up. I pan fry it four minutes to a side in Crisco.
PRO TIP: Frying in oil will leave your house smelling fishy for a week. Frying in Crisco (vegetable shortening) will leave your house smelling like fish and chips for a couple hours, then go away.

Quote from: Dee Walker on March 26, 2015, 06:30:34 PMTry this one, it's my go-to whole wheat pizza crust.
Pizza was good. Wasn't entirely pleased with the crust. BCk to the drawing board.
1 3/4 cups cold water
1/4 cup olive oil
4 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (it's a thing)
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast
Stir the flour, salt and yeast together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer (You NEED a KitchenAid! If you don't have one, you must get one!!!). By hand, stir in the oil and water until all the flour is absorbed. (Your fingers will get gooey.) Place in machine with dough hook on medium speed for 5-7 mins. You will probably need to add either water if it's too dry (unabsorbed flour) or flour if it's too sticky/gooey.
Form dough into a ball and cut into 4 equal pieces (Yes, this makes 4 crusts. Cut recipe in half if you just want 2.) Form pieces into balls, coat with a dab of olive oil and place into round plastic 16oz containers with tight-fitting lids. Allow to rise in refrigerator for 24 hours. They usually last up to 3 days in the fridge.
When making your crust, pull out of refrigerator for 60-90 minutes before rolling and/or tossing.
For sauce, I take a container of peeled Italian tomatoes and dump in a saucepan, then add fresh basil, oregano and garlic, olive oil and onion powder and insert an immersion blender to get the texture I want. Then I taste it, adjust spices to taste, then add a pinch of sugar and/or a few drops of balsamic vinegar if necessary. Cook over low heat, stirring regularly for 45 mins.
Yum.

I have also found the meat grinder attachment indispensable. I hated it when I bought ground beef from the grocery, only to find a fresh layer of it hiding the stuff in the middle that they ground last week. Ground turkey and chicken are nice too. My current thing that I'm trying to perfect are "Amazeballs"- Buffalo chicken meatballs. Anyway if you grind your own meats, you can control the cut, the fat content and you always know it's fresh.

If you use a pan like baking sheet, its possible to use a few drops of heatable oil more than to only grease the sheet. It soaks in the dough and makes for a frying like effect....
another idea is to powder the sheet slightly with flour after greasing the sheet. This makes for an almost pizza stone like effect, with a bottom somewhat similar to baked bread.

Since I'm 13 and can't really cook too well, my selection is fairly limited compared to my mom's ex-michelin star menus. When I need to cook for myself (and usually my dad) my go-to thing is usually some good, fresh sirloin steak with decent marbling. I fry that with some garlic butter and plenty of seasoning (put the seasoning on the steak while the steak is cooking. Good tip I learned) and add some mushrooms in after. Next, I take some dried pasta from the seemingly endless supply in the cupboard, and boil that up. I usually try to have the water boiled before the I put the steaks in the pan. Once the steak and pasta is cooked, I stick them on a plate with a nice pile of salad and put the mushrooms on top. I serve that with some celery, and if I'm able to, some vegetables like broccoli and carrots. Of course, I usually make some pepper sauce to go with the steak and mushrooms. I'm not sure how healthy this all is, but it's darn good and it's easy to make.

Recipe
I put the pasta on to boil, then put a stick of butter, six chopped asparagus spears, three crushed cloves of garlic, a good wallop of red pepper flakes, a good wallop of Italian seasoning, and a good wallop of parsley in a pan over medium heat and kept it moving until the butter was slightly browned. I drained the pasta, tossed it all for a couple minutes in the pan to distribute the sauce, and arranged the asparagus tips on top.

Tonight it's a Memorial Day BBQ for the ages.
Gourmet cheeseburgers, everything made from scratch.
We made our own buns, ground our own beef (1/2 Sirloin / 1/2 Chuck) and made guacamole with bacon in it.
I'm going to make one "animal style" (like In-N-Out) and another Santa Barbarian style with jack cheese and bacon guacamole.

I had Tilapia and a salad.
They were frozen, so I heated the skillet good and hot first, put them in there and threw a few pats of butter around them. Then I added about 1/2 cup water and a tablespoon of olive oil. Next I dashed lemon juice on them and seasoned with Italian herbs, garlic powder, sea salt and some pepper.
Cook on medium for 8 mins covered, then uncover, flip them and go another 5 mins without the cover.
De-Lish!

1) spinach, chilli mushroom and feta
2) mushroom and pineapple on a BBQ base
3) chilli and some sour cream added after it comes out
4) swiss, feta, romano, and cheddar cheese with a cheese sauce base
Followed by a raspberry and apple crumble made from scratch served with vanilla ice cream. With a hot chocolate during the meal

This is actually a rather difficult question because I don't go by the traditional breakfast, lunch, dinner thing :-\
I don't eat much really, I just make whatever I happen to have on hand or what sounds good to me at the time
I do like to cook though, so I took a 1/4" thick frozen slice ofturkey ham from last year's holidays and grilled it but it wouldn't give me much information
So I made a honey rosemary sauce to pour on it
Then I made mash potatoes and a mushroom broccoli gravy

I almost wish it worked like that for me, Kim. I don't feel hunger while I'm deep in a project. As soon as I come out of it I'm ravenous!
Tonight I was set to cook but Sweetie was too hungry to wait so we went (ugh) to McDonald's. Just as well I didn't cook, her sense of taste was way off! She would have insulted my cooking. We mixed the last of her sweet tea with my unsweetened. She wanted to refill her cup with Coke. She said it wouldn't bother me cause it wasn't very sweet. It was like syrup! McD's doesn't taste good to me anymore either. HRT has rewired my taste buds and they're hella sensitive now.
Last night's dinner was much better. The general manager of the local Outback Steakhouse owed us a meal. I had the new flatiron steak, garlic mashed potatoes, a ceasar salad and some hard cider, yummy!

He thinks I should be cooking all the time anyway, but I RARELY do. Sorry, I didn't transition just to cook and clean for a man, or fit anybody's expectations of what my gender should be. >:(

There was a thing I saw on the internet that talked about how gendered stereotypes won't help out anyone in the kitchen. Everyone has to eat! So next time, if your boyfriend acts like this, just make enough food for yourself. :-) If he wants some, tell him he needs to learn how to cook.
Right now I am eating homemade mac n' cheese. Such a great comfort food!

Cactus is one of the happy memories of my childhood. Naomi, now a very pretty (cis) woman, gave our 5th grade class napolitas, which had an odd butt not objectionable taste (like egg salad or herring). It would work really well with falafel or kofta in a pita with tehina. I will be cooking steaks with chimichurri this weekend.

Wow Devlyn, I am amazed.
I just quickly had some pasta with olive oil for dinner -- was in a rush and had no pasta sauce.

Firstly a quick dip in my Heated swimming pool in my new bathing costume (one piece!), plus a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, then it will just be about time for the main course - A Home made Beef & Mushroom Pie (light flaky pasty,) plus a Beetroot, Tomato & feta cheese side salad. Then a Chobani Light yogurt (Strawberry flavour) washed down with a glass of Australian Shiraz!.

i had a small bowl of mashed potatoes with some cheese and scallions in, with another small bowl of vegetables. finished it off with some banana, almond and hazelnut bread with some vanilla, caramel and peanut icing. it was amazing to say the least. i usually skip dessert since it's not really a common thing here, but we have tons of this banana loaf since we have a guest here and dear sweet lord it's amazing

My god what a waste for a fine Bordeaux. The 1982 is reputed to be one of the finest Ducru Beaucaillou produced after the 1961 and before the 2003 of the all-time great Ducrus, probably matched or eclipsed by several recent vintages (i.e., 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008). My Vintner reckons that the 1982 is still about 6 years away from full maturity.
So sorry it was corked.
My wine guide says it exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet colour to the rim as well as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with sweet tannins.
The price for a bottle here in Australia is $799.00

We had a 1973 Heitz Martha's Vineyard instead. It was past it but drinkable. Anyway, I still plan on drinking all of the great 1982 Bordeaux before I die. I'm totally saving the Latour for my 50th bday.

Braised pork shoulder with a fenugreek, coriander, red pepper, and garlic rub.
This is the best pork ever. It comes from pigs raised for their heart valves, which are used in humans, so they lead pretty nice lives -- very clean, very well fed and cared for. The meat is incredibly flavorful, and it isn't very expensive, as it's sort of "left over" after the hearts (and some other tissues used for things like wound closure).

I've been up since 7 yet didn't eat until 5 at first. I often forget to eat, especially today, since I've been working on school stuff all day long and just finished up (skipped a lot of it, at that) at 11:30...
I ate two duck's eggs with stout bread and some vienna loaf w/ poppy seeds. After a few hours I heated up some vegetarian cottage pie with some soy spread and mixed salt (garlic, onion, salt, mushroom powder. Very popular here) which i ate with another small piece of bread.
Maybe I'm a carb addict...

Here's a yummy snack recipe:
- Make scrambled eggs - one, two, three, however many are your appetite - in a fry pan, pot, dish, etc.
- Add thinly sliced banana - again, as much as you like banana - as the scrambled eggs cook.
- As the eggs / banana near completion, place on thin dough or flour tortilla and continue cooking.
- Fold dough to surround the egg / banana or place a second flour tortilla on top; flip and cook / heat this second side.
- When done, drizzle condensed sweetened milk on the top, drizzle chocolate syrup, dust with powdered sugar.
Yes, banana and eggs go well together. This tastes delish whether piping hot or put in the fridge for a cool snack later.

Fridge and cabinets got blocked off during work on the house. So it's premade pricey vegan burritos and awful chips and just bread sometimes because I'm tired and poor and we can't keep pretending to be ambitious and rich.
We do have V8 and Luna bars, so we have that going for us.
Me personally for dinner is water but I pretended to eat earlier so we could be classy.

Baked tofu fingers with a mixed greens, apple and yam salad.
The tofu is cut into 1 cm wide strips and coated with a cornmeal and chili powder mix and baked 15 min at 400F.
Salad was mixed greens (lettuce blends, spinach and kale), fresh diced apple, cubed leftover baked yam, sunflower seeds and dried cranberries dressed with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

A handful of unsalted, non-roasted cashew nuts. Maybe a couple of dried dates and 1/4rth grated organic carrot.
Maybe.
I usually skip dinner; I try to eat as little as possible.
Yet I do go for a drink of cold coconut milk on the beach after a swim, most days I'm off work.
My Asian Fairy-bluebird might eat more than I do; I always buy him "egg bananas" and oranges from street vendors.

Cooked King Prawns with Japanese mustard as a starter (Peel and eat)
then Smoked Salmon (Gravad Laks)
then Warm chicken salad with tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers in a caesar salad dressing
all taken with a glass of New Zealand Avignon Wine
Eaten whilst in my outdoor swimming pool, mind you outside temperature in Victoria is 38C. Temperature in the heated pool 29C.

Cooked my first rib roast last night. Been waiting for years to have enough money after Christmas to afford one. Brushed on garlic butter to better hold my spice blend, roasted veggies (potatoes, carrots, mushroom and onion), homemade dinner rolls and a salad. It's been 20 years since my wife and I had that cut (restaurant), and my daughters' first time. Cooked it to a perfect state of rareness.
Ramen noodles for the rest of the week.

Elk chili. A couple pounds of elk round, braised with onions and garlic in a about 2/3 of a bottle of inexpensive Rhone. Add a variety of beans, a can of crushed tomatoes and the usual spices. The wine takes away the gamy flavor, helps tenderize the meat and yields the expected deglazed brown base. This game meat is so low in fat I added about 4 oz. of butter and some EVOO for the initial browning of the meat.
All this turns into a rich brown savory dish. Not the traditional Texas style chili, but incredibly delicious. Served it with some brown rice on a whim to some good friends in the neighborhood to rave reviews, accompanied with a couple bottles of really big potent red wine from the Spanish Ribero del Duero region.

I teased my brother at a family function about trying spotted Dick. Limited world view with 2 daughters who went to the UK on visits and they knew what it was. I used a fake English accent to get him to try the stuff and said something like" You sure, squire, you want to try some spotted Dick?" He said something like "I don't want to eat anything that sounds like a disease!" I had the family ROFL big time on that. My sister from Texas has some available from her Kroger's. Whenever she passes a can of that in the store, she says that she giggles. She showed me that stuff in her store when I visited last. I was tempted to get that as a gift for my brother.
Okay, back to the subject! Homemade chicken tenders from scratch with breadcrumb coating with chipotle pepper and other spices. Steak fries with a cob of garden corn.

looked in one of my Indian cookbooks this morning and decided to do one I have not cooked before, meat and cauliflower as I have one that's been lurking in fridge for nearly 2 weeks . Shopping for food tonight so got lamb but not found any cubed so got chops and steaks Recipe said put in 1.5 pints of water and simmer covered for 30 mins and then put in collie and cook for 15/20 mins or until all the water has gone . Well had to turn it up to a boil and it took an hour for the water to go , hungry !! started at 6 and it was 8.30 when I dished up BUT it was worth the wait. Good job I had a nan bread as bite one of the dried red chillies in the baggier , Have another bowl full for tomorrow for tea so a lot quicker this time!

I started with a giant homemade Greek salad with an avocado and a healthy dose of feta cheese. Then I had beef liver fried in butter and olive oil with zucchini and onions. Once that settles in a while I'll have some cheese and nuts for dessert. I'm trying to expand the variety of my low carb primal eating plan.

Once again I had to fend for myself.
I browned some tritip beef in butter, garlic, salt and pepper the added some mushrooms followed by green and res bell pepper and onions. Finally squeezing a mandarin orange over the top. Served with buttered mashed potato and spinach.
I hate having to rough it like this...

I think I'm going to do chicken sauteed with bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Set it aside, and deglaze the pan with some white wine, add cream and parmesan cheese to make a sauce. Mix it back together and slop that mess over the top of some spiralized quick sauteed zucchini.

Since I'm cooking again it's fajitas. Thin sliced petite sirloin strips are slow cooking in a fajita seasoning sauce. The onions and 4 colors of bell peppers are all sliced and ready to be added later when the meat is nice and tender. Shredded sharp cheddar cheese is in the fridge and flour tortillas are standing by waiting to be stove top toasted and filled. It's smelling good already.

Last night I bought an Italian sausage of some kind, it's dry and hard like salami or pepperoni. I sliced it up and sautéed it in olive oil and butter until crispy with some garlic, red pepper flakes, parsley and black pepper. Then I tossed cooked spinach and ricotta tortellinis in it until coated.
Tonight I'm eating the leftovers. :)

I mixed up some ground beef with chopped onion, red and orange bell pepper Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper and fried up 5 nice patties and melted slices of provolone on top. Served on onion buns with tomato, lettuce and thin sliced onion, with choice of condiments.
Tasted purty good if I do say so myself.

Pass out from a blood draw?? Devlyn, I don't believe that of you. Get up and get back to work.
I got a little whooosey once the first time I donated blood when they tied of the bag of MY blood and passed it in front of my eyes to put it on the cart. But that was only that first time and I was only 18. Not problems since them.
Blood draws? Heck sometimes they treat me like a pin cushion sticking me up to 6 times before getting blood. It's happened several times.
Enjoy your delicious cut of steak.

The meal was great. I had clam chowder and the best Parker House rolls I've ever had. Then the filet with homestyle mashed potatoes. It was the first thing I ate since a hearty breakfast (coffee) so it went down fast and landed solidly. They showed me a dessert menu but I was too stuffed to point at anything. :laugh:

In honor of Devlyn, one of the comfort foods from my childhood. It wasn't my fathers favorite foods as a main dish but when he was gone, we would have a plate of Boston Baked Beans with bread on the side. It also had the advantage that it's pretty cheap to fix and sometimes we were a bit short on money. Click on the image for a better view.

Dena,
The beans does look good. I like baked beans but prefer good ol' Navy beans with ham hocks. That's is a staple here with my sister and I as it was growing up for those economic reasons you mentioned. I remember Mom cooking many such penny stretching meals for our family of 7 (at the time) while my dad was out to sea working for this great country of ours. I remember having to wait several days for payday so mom could go grocery shopping and bring home milk for us kids. Stretching meals in those days was a necessity.
Hugs,
Laurie

Nice! I serve them with homemade brown bread steamed in a can, or in my case a stainless steel bowl.

More of a late lunch, but my big meal of the day was actually out, at Nopalito on 9th in San Francisco. I always wanted to try this place.
Little gem salad and huevos de caja for a late lunch/early dinner. They have the same attention to detail, freshness, and flavor as NOPA does.

Properly poached eggs, nicely seasoned black beans, and homemade tortilla. Their salad was delicious as well. And they sell the dressing over at Bi-Rite!

Hi Lucas,
If you can boil water you can cook pasta. The box or package has instructions. These days you can buy a decent marinara sauce such as Neuman's Own and heat it up in a pan.
Basically you get a large pan, fill it about 2/3 with water add about a table spoon of salt and bring to a boil. Meanwhile heat the sauce in a smaller sauce pan over medium heat. stirring so it doesn't stick to the bottom. when that water is boiling add pasta. It can be any kind spaghetti, linguini, shells etc lower heat to keep it from boiling over and cook per time recommended on package (about 8-10 minutes for spaghetti or linguini. Check to see if it is done by chewing a piece it should be slightly firm (al dente) to softer but not over soft.
Drain by dumping into a strainer and put back in pan. Add a serving spoonful of sauce and stir well to keep pasta from sticking. Serve pasta on plate with a topping of sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
There's one easy pasta dish.
Laurie

The trick to cooking is to taste often and adjust seasoning as you go. Too many cooks think you can season once but that never works, and it is better to cook the flavor into the ingredients...
On pasta I like to add olive oil in addition to the salt in the pasta water...

Quote from: Susan on May 24, 2017, 08:35:05 PMThat doesn't work for me because my sense of smell is far better than my sense of taste. I end up playing with a dish through a few batches and once I get the seasoning worked out, I write it down and stick with it. I have had to eat a batch of overly salty chili because I didn't get it quite right when I made it. In addition when I make bread, there is no way to taste it until it's done so exact measurements are important.

Another issue is when I grill or smoke meat. My nose gets so loaded up with mesquite smoke that I really can't taste anything until the following day. I make my judgement on the item with leftovers and apply what I learned to the next batch of meat.

You are ultimately salting the pasta by adding salt to the water. somewhere between a teaspoon to a tablespoon I would guess. I just pour some into my hand and dump it in. As for the oil some do it some don't I don't so my guess would be 1 - 2 tablespoons. Susan could tell you better than I.
You could also buy garlic bread and toast it per instructions in the oven for an added touch. Be careful not to burn it. You'll need to watch it.

It's pretty easy really, create a small cup shape with your left hand, pour some salt in it, when you turn your hand sideways the salt will naturally follow down the crease in your hand so all you need to do is make a quick circle around the bowl so it distributes evenly
In your right hand be sure to hold your location finger over the edge of the oil container as to make sure it doesn't fall off then make a circle with the oil in the opposite direction
This should give you a nice combination of salt and oil
Oh, and it's always good to hum the theme from either The Godfather or the Lady and the Tramp films LOL

Google "cook your pasta in a pan, not a pot".
I've taken it one step further. I brown the meat and onions in a pan, and drain the grease. Then I add a can of tomato sauce, the pasta, and a few cups of water. I bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat. The sauce cooks right into the pasta. Takes about ten or fifteen minutes.
Pro tip: Then I eat it right out of the pan...with the big wooden spoon...hey, why do dishes I don't have to? :laugh:

I sliced an Abuzzese dry hot sausage into 1/4 inch slices, then cut them into half moons. I put them in a pan with three crushed cloves of garlic, a handful of parsley, a teaspoon of red pepper flakes, half a stick of butter and 1/4 cup of olive oil.
I cooked it on medium low until the garlic started to brown, then added about three cups of water, and half a box of angel hair broken in half. Crank the heat and stir to keep the pasta from sticking together. When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and cover for about ten or fifteen minutes. Voila!

Doing turkey roll ups. First I made a box of Stove Top stuffing and let it cool, then I took four thick cut slices of turkey from the deli and rolled four blunts with the stuffing. Put them in a baking dish with the extra stuffing, pour gravy [and lots of fresh ground black pepper) over it and give it fifteen minutes in the oven.

Good job I like cooking as just spent 3hrs making a big pot of veg curry ( 4 containers in freezer and 1 in fridge) a chicken Jelfrazie (enough for 2 meals) as bought a whole cooked chicken and boiled the bones for a stock to make a stew/soup. Mum gave me some chicken burgers she bought cheap as use by 10th but they are garlic and she cant eat "spicy" stuff so cooked them as well , will put them in the curry sauce left over from Sat night as made the full lot but only 2 chicken breasts. Also made courgette and potato curry , bit left to go with the meal for tomorrow.Now need to shop as run out of peppers, Ginger, ground coriander and coconut milk. Want to make my own nan breads next.

This. Hash Brown-Crusted Quiche with Sausage.
Prep time
10 minutes
Cook time
55 minutes
Total time
1 hour 5 minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients
• • 3 cups Simply Potatoes shredded hash browns (found in the refrigerator section at the market)
• • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
• • salt and pepper
• • 1 cup (about 8 ounces) seasoned mild country pork sausage
• • 6 large eggs
• • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• • 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
• • 2 scallions, finely chopped
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl gently toss the hash browns with the butter to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Press the hash browns into the bottom and up the sides of the plate to form a crust. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
3. In the meantime, sauté the ground sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4. In the large bowl you used for the hash browns, whisk together the eggs, cream, cheeses, and scallions. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. Add in the cooked sausage crumbles. Mix to combine.
5. Pour mixture on top of the hash brown crust. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until set. Let cool slightly, cut into wedges and serve.

Quote from: Laurie on July 30, 2017, 07:45:03 PMYears ago my grandparents came out to visit the family. As both my parents work, my mom set up a pot of chilly and ask my grandmother to finish it off by opening a few cans, adding the contents and turning on the heat. We sat down for dinner that night, took a bowl and it tasted really off. We sat there for a while trying to determine if it was eatable and if something had gone bad. Finally my grandmother fessed up. She had a real sweet tooth and she brought from home some jars of tomatoes she had canned in sugar juice. She figured instead of wasting the cans of tomatoes my mom had set out, she would use the jars from the camper that were packed sugar. :icon_blah: We then knew it was safe to eat even though it wasn't a favorite.

I see a million recipes for baking the jackfruit, but I marinated mine, then dredged it in flour and fried it to a crisp. I used those crunchy pieces in a "beef" stew and a barbecue pulled "pork" and my meat eating friends loved it. How do you make yours?

My sister made us some boxed cheese and broccoli Roni, Canned green beans, and fried stuffe chicken breast which she proceeded to burn on one side. She was upset by this of course but I found the chicken reminding me of my moms fried chicken as a kid. Frying chicken for 7 invariably resulted in a few pieces being singed a bit. Those were the one I preferred.

Fried corn is a southern way to make corn. I found out about it from my neighbor. You cut the kernels off the corn and fry it in butter with like a teaspoon of sugar. Then when its done add more butter and some salt. You can use canned or frozen corn but fresh corn is so much better. It's so good fried compared to boiling it.

Thank you Julia. Another thing from you I'll have to try. Though I doubt I'll add the sugar as corn is usually sweet enough by itself and I don't need the added sugar. My diabetes likes it by my doctor doesn't.

Swede or as it is called in America rutabaga is similar to a turnip All they are bulbous roots and taste quite a bit different with different textures when cooked I usually will cut them into chunks like a potato and cook in stews.

I may have heard of swede before but couldn't think of what it was until after I looked it up. I've never had it mashed myself. I don't think the average American these days have even tasted swede, turnip or parsnips. I haven't had then very much myself. Here the staple starch is potato and probable rice.

I had my usual big salad, and then tinkered a bit for my main course together the right amounts of carbs, fats, and protein for my daily total (meds and assorted effects have me following a diet to reduce kidney load for a while).
So, I sautéed some chopped peppers and onions, added pesto, and tossed udon noodles (!) with this, an odd variation on a fettuccine dish, but very good.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170912/f0502c3c86d179fbac91e32db9982891.jpg)
50 g chopped red peppers
50 g diced onions
2 tbsp pesto
56 g udon noodles, boiled and drained.
Add noodles to boiling water, to cook 4 minutes
Sautée the peppers and onions in a nonstick pan 3 minutes. Season with garlic and pepper
Reduce heat, add pesto.
Drain the noodles, and toss with the pesto and veggies
Serve and enjoy.

Good afternoon,
Usually pizza hand made by me. In it I avoid using much ham, but I do use boiled eggs. People say it looks more like a pie, because of the amount of vegetables I put on top of it, champignon, frozen pea, tomato, onion...the mystery is, how I still keep being skinny :o

Since my sister didn't cook I settled for a sandwich minus the bread using Romaine lettuce,
Miracle whip, pastrami, spicy brown mustard, campfire chicken, provolone cheese, olive pimento loaf, bell pepper, onion, jalapenos salt and pepper. I even managed to get it rolled so I could hold it while eating it.

Tonight I'm making tuna noodle casserole. It's not something I would usually make but my dad really likes it and requested it. I make a white sauce for it so it's not as icky. I love mushrooms but I think that condensed cream of anything soup is nasty and would never cook with them. I also use white albacor tuna and that makes it a little less nasty too.
I can cook all kinds of food and the man asks for tuna casserole. Totally sad.....

Hi folks,
Tonight I decided trying to cook pork fried rice and sweet & sour pork for supper from scratch for the first time. It just might be the last time too as I spent about an hour in prep and 2 1/2 cooking. It was a lot of work. Outside of the fried rice having a bit of a strong ginger taste, supper turned out really good. Even my sister Karen told me it was good (at least 4 times lol) I also made enough to feed an army so come have a bite.
Hugs,
Laurie

Hi Michelle,
I am sure your dinner was healthier than mine. I think I went a little over my carb and calorie intentions especially since I went back for seconds. I'm full now. Not too sure I want to see my blood sugar reading in the morning. But it sure was good.

Well thank you Julia. It wasn't bad for a first attempt. You should show off your work as your meals always sound good. If I didn't know better I'd say you try to out do me. and I do know better Julia You are just a good cook. One of these days I'll have to drop in to sample the competition's bill of fare

Just saw this thread, or I would have posted sooner. Anyway this was Friday nights dinner for the family, (Vegans and those on strict diets look away now!)
Both were made using large pizza pans and a handmade garlic and olive oil dough (from scratch,) and are double sauce and cheese (primarily mozzarella provolone,) with one layer of each under toppings and another over them. Both were cut into 8 slices, (smallest I could go and still have them hold together.)
The first two pics are the Veggie Alfredo: Homemade roasted garlic and Parmesan Alfredo sauce, red and yellow onions, portobello mushrooms, chopped black olives, green bell peppers, mini sweet peppers, diced Roma tomatoes, and fresh basil. Total pie weight was 17 lbs, or over 2 lbs a slice.
(https://i.imgur.com/O8rasxZ.jpg?2) (https://i.imgur.com/VNg1Nk4.jpg?2)
The following pics are a Meaty Supreme: Homemade roasted red pepper and olive oil marinara sauce, thick cut pepperoni, thick cut salami, sauteed Italian sausage medallions, and all of the veggies from the other pizza in smaller portions. Total pie weight was 26 lbs, or just over 3 lbs a slice. At its thickest point (just below the crust,) it measured nearly 2 and a half inches thick, (last pic shows measurement.)

The leftover sauces were served in bowls table-side to dip the crusts in. Both crusts had the taste and texture of garlic bread-sticks soaked in olive oil. No-one, not even my teenage kids, finished more than 1 slice of each pizza. At over 5 lbs of food for the two slices, I would have been amazed if they did. Everyone then started dropping off into food comas. By the end of Saturday breakfast, there were no leftovers.

Yesterdays Lunch and late night Snack time: (Vegetarian friendly)
(https://i.imgur.com/5au5qq5.jpg?1)
Fresh garden salad: Spring mix (romaine, endive and radicchio,) baby spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, green bell pepper, red and yellow onions, baby sweet peppers, scallions (green onions,) celery, diced Roma tomatoes, grape tomatoes; seasoned with garlic salt, lemon pepper, basil, thyme, and rosemary; tossed with a light coating of aged balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil; top with shredded cheese and ranch dressing. All veggies hand chopped immediately prior to serving.
Ended up having a bowl for a mostly guilt free late night snack. No leftovers (again.)

Tonight's Menu: Homemade Chicken Soup from Scratch.
(https://i.imgur.com/vFp6pfo.jpg?1)
Chicken stock (not broth,) cream of celery, Rosemary and sage hand shredded chicken breasts, sweet peas, carrots, celery, yellow onion, scallions, black pepper, minced garlic, seasoned salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper, all slow cooked in the crock pot for several hours, with steamed rice added at the end.
Very little leftovers, though the crock pot was full to the brim.
Hope these meals and images whet your appetites.
HUGS!

Friday is $5 pizza at Papa Murphy's, you know the take and bake pizza place... So I get a sausage pizza and take most of the sausage off then dress it up with toppings I get at the local grocery
I tend to be somewhat symmetrically minded so my pizzas tend to end up looking like an odd large flower of sorts
So anyway I finished off the pizza last night so now I'm taking the sausage bits that I've stored in the fridge and making a spaghetti ;D

Thanks for the compliment. I have a lot of Italian in my blood and have been to Italy and Sicily. Not serving that dish in a bowl would be sacrilegious. I'm a fair hand at cooking gourmet Italian and Seafood, but the area I excel at is Mexican Cuisine. That's an even bigger portion of my background and have family still in Mexico. Several of our family recipes are over a hundred years old. Much like a proper lasagna, all those specialty cheeses, dairy, and spices drive up the price to do them right. So I don't make them nearly as often as I would like to.
On a side note, we're up to 4 in a row now for tomato based pasta. Let's keep the trend going.

Made Paella for the first time last night but totally forget to get a picture everyone was so hungry. I was expecting leftovers but that didn't happen either. ;D
Fairly simple Paella for practicality and familial taste purposes, with Shrimp, Chorizo, Red Peppers, Onions, and Sweet Peas. Too many people in this house who won't eat certain things to go all out. Mostly I just had saffron someone gave me for Christmas that I still needed to use. Had an amusing moment with my dad, who has been to Spain and had several traditional Paellas so really should know better, who said "I don't know if it was an accident, but the crispy part of the rice is really good". ... Well, yes, that is a key part of Paella! :D

I bought an uber expensive supposedly authentic Manchego a while back that was absolutely amazing, but far too costly for me to ever buy again for anything but holiday type meals (which in general, people around here go for the classics that don't involve gourmet cheese usually unfortunately). But dear lord were those amazing tacos. Homemade tortillas, fresh from the garden everything salsa, pork and chicken slow cooked in mexican beer for hours, fresh Vidalia onions (a good part of living in Georgia!), finished with a bit of this weird volcano salt someone gave me and scorpion black pepper, a touch of lime, topped with the manchego... Well, crap. Now I'm hungry.

Sounds pretty tasty. About the only traditional ingredient that is in just about all Mexican lunch and dinner fare that you're missing is Cilantro. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any Mexican meal recipe other than Tamales that don't include it at some point in the cooking cycle. If you had it in the salsa you cooked the meat in, then I withdraw my protest. ;) LOL

Oh, cilantro was in the salsa in spades! I actually took the chicken (but not the pork) and seared it shredded in a pan, then simmered with the salsa for bit. (The pork was left as a sort of restaurant carnitas style)

I'm a fair hand at cooking gourmet Italian and Seafood, but the area I excel at is Mexican Cuisine. That's an even bigger portion of my background and have family still in Mexico. Several of our family recipes are over a hundred years old.
OMG are you allowed to share any of these family recipes?!?! There is an amazing selection of Mexican grocery stores near me, but I have not been in for lack of a tried and true recipe to use the ingredients in! I was raised in the midwest so mostly grew up eating very Tex Mex style "Mexican" food.

Not the tamales or the enchiladas, except to family. Heck, I'm not even allowed to learn the family Tamales until I'm legally female, either by license designation or post op, strict girls only rule on that one. That's probably the only area that my Mom's side of the family doesn't treat me as just Jenny, yet. The rest yes, but it's tradition that I teach them to you by having you make whatever dish it is with me. Especially since the seasonings are never actually measured, frequent tasting only. LOL

Chimichurri marinated chicken and chorizo fajitas using left over paella ingredients. Ground and browned the chorizo, removed from pan and used the chorizo grease to cook the chicken in. Cooked up rest of the red peppers and some onions (caramelized but with a nice sear) on the side. Sliced chicken when done, added it back to the pan along with the chorizo and the vegetables and let them cook together for a few minutes. Topped with some garlic herb jack cheese slices I needed to use up and tossed it under the broiler to really bubble up the cheese. Served in tortillas with a bit of finishing salt (everything I do has finishing salt now since I have this weird salt collection going). Absolutely fantastic.

God, you're making me nostalgic for the meals my Mom and Grandma used to make, as well as making me hungry. Unless you have really good non-stick cookware, I don't envy the job you're gonna have cleaning later. Chorizo can be a pain in the butt to get off of pots and pans. Ever think that your salt collection and finishes might have something to do with Spiro salt cravings?

I prefer to use the ground (like hamburger) chorizo over that mushy chub that seems to melt all over. The brat sized links are good too. The brand I can buy is made by Johnsonville.

I like my ground meat really, really, really ground, be it chorizo or hamburger, so the semi-mushy stuff in casings works well for me. I just rapidly chop it with the spatula in the pan and it creates a somewhat granular consistency smaller than the usual ground meat "nuggets". I'm OCD about texture and it helps me avoid mixed bites of gristle/fat and the meat. ;D (It's always a problem for me on pizza, since I love beef on it but only a handful of pizza places grind it as fine as I like, most notably Marco's.)

I've used all sorts. Which type generally depends on the dish. Traditional Corizo con Juevos, for example,is generally made with the mush, beef or pork depending on preference, (beef is usually spicier,) scrambled eggs, cheese and spices; served in a warm buttered tortilla. Salsa, hot sauce, and sour cream being optional. The ground works great for soups and dinner dishes, such as pan fried with rice. And the brats are great cooked as is, sauteed with onions and peppers, possibly cheese, and served on bread or bun. As the mush is the one I use most frequently, and is the messiest, it is the one I was referring to.

Tonight's Budget Friendly Menu for Chili Heads: Creamy Curry Chicken and Mushroom Ramen (Very Spicy)
Total Cost per Bowl approx $2.50
(https://i.imgur.com/4klaWjS.jpg?2)
Homemade Curry Paste: Coriander (Cilantro,) Cumin, Tumeric, Chili Powder, Pureed Habaneros, Pureed Naga Chilies, Garlic, Crushed Red Peppers, and Fenugreek
Maruchan Spicy Chicken Ramen, Cream of Chicken Soup, 1 Chicken Boulion Cube, Eggs (1 per Ramen packet, scrambled in while boiling noodles,) Seasoned Salt, Celery Salt, Garlic, Yellow Onion, Mild Green Chilies, Small Can of Sliced Mushrooms, Lemon Pepper, Parsley, Sage, and a Pinch of Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese, with Flavor Packets and Curry Paste added at the end. 1 TBSP of Mayonnaise per bowl stirred in for extra creaminess. Warning: Not for those with Ulcers, Crohns or Ciliac disease, or other "weak stomach" issues. I grew up eating Habaneros off the vine and this stuff makes me sweat 4 spoonfuls in. Soooooo tasty though. Just have milk and water handy. ;) Be prepared for another satisfying food coma once you eat a whole bowl and wash it down with chosen Beverages.

This Saturday I went to the Asian grocery store and came back with a huge haul! I made kimchi (Korean fermented pickles). I made the traditional nappa cabbage and korean radish. For dinner I did a quick bean paste stew (doenjang jjigae) with shrimp, clams, korean radish, shiitake and enoki mushrooms and chrysanthemum greens in an anchovy stock broth (it's made using dried anchovies, not the kind in a tin). It was great with rice and some fresh kimchi! Plus, now I have a few quarts of extra stock for my other favs like tteokbokki (rice cake snack) and soup. I just tasted the kimchi again last night after letting it sit out for a couple days--it's getting so lovely and sour and fizzy! Yes, it's kind of weird at first if you didn't grow up with kimchi, but it's so delicious. I use a lot of recipes from Maangchi, who has a great YouTube channel and her own website that have really helped me get into Korean food, which is now one of my fav cuisines.

Sorry in advance for nitpicking, just trying to inform. Are aware that unless you are referring to a paste, there is no such thing as red curries. Curry is a spice blend of coriander (cilantro,) cumin, and tumeric, and often containing chili peppers, and occasionally other additional spices. However a "Curry" plant/herb doesn't exist. Sorry, one of my cooking pet peeves and the Autism based OCD won't allow me to not say anything.

Ellie, I absolutely love my Asian grocery store! I could spend the whole day there (but I would need a better coat because it is frigid). Sometimes I see something interesting there that I've never seen before and so I will go back home and try to find a recipe for it.
Laurie, I would LOVE to cook for you!! I know you like spicy food (Ms. Eats Jalapeno Slices Out Of the Jar!!) so you would LOVE korean food!
Last night I made bok choy in a savory sauce, bean sprout soup and sauteed spicy rice cakes (tteokbokki).

I think (stressing the word think) it's just any protein in a red curry paste + coconut milk sauce, usually with kaffir lime leaves (though I don't typically bother with them at home and just do a little lime or lemon zest, isn't really practical otherwise). The way that my local thai place does it that I've emulated is simple:
It's very much a "add ingredient to taste" recipe. Sear meat (salmon, shrimp, chicken typically best I think), then mix curry paste to taste with coconut milk in the pan and make sure to spoon it over the meat constantly. Also add the lime leaves/zest, and chop up some red peppers (deseeded or not up to you, amount up to you, etc.) and toss them in in the sauce for added heat if desired. (I grew some "dragon cayenne" peppers that were perfect for this, also have some dried ones from asian market here for out of season). Serve over thai jasmine or another good short or medium grain rice (I pretty much just use short grain sushi rice tossed with some sushisu for everything) and still lightly crisp steamed broccoli (has to be firm enough that the sauce doesn't turn it into mush) or sauteed cabbage. Broccoli and cabbage are amazing at really carrying the flavor of the red curry sauce, and providing a bit of tempering to the heat for when the meat is too much to handle multiple bites of in a row. ;D

Sooooooo, I take it that Roll and Laurie are fellow Chili Heads, to at least some degree? Might have to make you two some of my 5 bean chili. It has four heat levels, all of which are made in a single (large) crock pot over 12 hrs. I usually Use about 4 lbs of meat, mostly ground beef, hot italian sausage, and ground buffalo (when available.) I always use at least 3 oz of chili powder while browning the meat, and the rest in the sauce. The first 3 levels of heat I add Fire Roasted Tomatoes, None in the Highest.
Lists of respective peppers used to make pepper mash for the base by ascending level of Heat:
Green aka Mild (Still hot to non Chili Heads,) - 1 lb of Jalapenos, .25 lbs of Cayenne Peppers, .25 lbs of Serranos, 2 Cans of Diced Green Chilies, 3 Habaneros, 1 Poblano, and 1 Hungarian Wax Pepper- 12 oz total of Chili Powder Used
Red aka Hot - .5 lbs of Jalapenos, .5 lbs of Cayenne Peppers, 1 lb of Serranos, 1 Can of Diced Green Chilies, .25 lb of Habaneros, 1 Poblano, 1 Hungarian Wax Pepper, .25 lb of Roasted Chipotle Peppers and .25 lb of Fatali chilies - 1 lb (16 oz) total Chili Powder Used
Neon (Inedible to most non Chili Heads) - 5 (individual) Jalapenos, .25 lb of Cayenne Peppers, .5 lb of Serranos, 1 lb of Habaneros, .5 lb of Roasted Chipotle Peppers, .5 lb of Fatalii Chilies, .25 lb of Naga Vipers 3 Dried Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Chilies,) and 1 - 6oz bottle of Habanero and Ghost Chili Extract - 1 3 oz lb total of Chili Powder Used
Glow In The Dark (I warn people they shouldn't touch it if they have digestive or heart problems, shouldn't sniff it while steaming hot with sinus issues, and use protective eye wear, respirator, and gloves while making mash) - 1.5 lbs of Habaneros, 3 Roasted Chipotle Peppers, 1 lb of Fatalii Chilies, .5 lb Naga Vipers, .25 lbs of Dried Ghost Chilies, 3 Carolina Reapers, and 1 - 12oz bottle of Carolina Reaper and Ghost Chili Extract - 1 lb 6 oz total Chili Powder
I've never had someone not love the flavors, only whether or not it was too hot for them.

Jenny, that chili sounds wonderful! Sadly, although I love spicy food, it does my stomach no favors and so would probably not be able to stomach more than a couple bites of your hotter varieties. It does seem that the market for extremely hot sauces and ingredients has really exploded--you could be onto something there. I know that I for one love using prepared chili base in a pinch--just add canned beans, tomatoes and cooked ground meat of choice and voila.
Laurie, what did you make for dinner?! It looks amazing!

just made a very early dinner of Philly Cheese Steak with homemade sub rolls. Rolls turned out too crusty and hard for some reason (but I'm a Roll and I'm soft! ... not sure what that means exactly), but still good and I think will make amazing french bread pizza.

Sooooooo, I take it that Roll and Laurie are fellow Chili Heads, to at least some degree? Might have to make you two some of my 5 bean chili. It has four heat levels, all of which are made in a single (large) crock pot over 12 hrs. I usually Use about 4 lbs of meat, mostly ground beef, hot italian sausage, and ground buffalo (when available.) I always use at least 3 oz of chili powder while browning the meat, and the rest in the sauce. The first 3 levels of heat I add Fire Roasted Tomatoes, None in the Highest.
I'm weird, I'm obsessed with spicy food and adding peppers and hot sauces to everything, but actually not very fond of traditional chilis, which no one around here ever understands. Mostly it's just I am not crazy about beans and tomatoes (unless in non-chunky sauce form ala pizza or smooth salsa ;D). My biggest OCD trait is food texture, and something about beans sets me off. (Except classic baked beans for some reason.)
As a result I usually like to make a facsimile meat only chili that is more or less just a "dry" (just sauceless except for whatever paste the seasonings make with some water) super spicy taco meat. I'm also weird in that I prefer to use ground turkey over beef for it, which drives people nuts as well. :D I like the seasonings and peppers flavors to be the star of the show, and poultry provides more of a blank slate than the red meats.
Anywho, I'm all in on the pepper combo for your hottest! I really need to get more Carolina Reapers, I used to live not too far from where they created them and haven't bought them in a little while. Put it over some perfectly crispy french fries with some good quality cheese... Gah, no, gotta stop thinking about it, today is low calorie day...
Also, funny you mention protective gear. I learned to use that the hard way. A while back now, maybe 7 or 8 years, when i first was growing some cayenne I harvested a huge load of them. If anyone has seen those plants, it gets ridiculous how much they produce for something that you don't need too much of. So I took this batch and was going to run it in bulk through a food processor. I don't remember what my plan was, maybe storage, maybe I was trying to bottle a sauce. Anyway... I grind them up, then go to open the lid with my face looking right over the top. (And remember, even if just cayenne, this was like a hundred of them!) The fumes. Oh god. With the backdraft from taking the lid of the processor off, it sucked it all right into my face. Essentially, I pepper sprayed myself. That was a fun day.

Lol, kewlies. IMO if it doesn't make you sweat, have a runny nose, watery eyes, a full on capsaicin buzz/high, and at least mild discomfort later then it isn't spicy. About the only thing in life where I am definitely a masochist. Though I was more referring to Laurie since someone else in the thread said she likes spicy.

Nothing wrong with a chili that has neither beans nor tomatoes. The only 2 things a chili has to have, by definition, are a protein source and chili peppers, usually at least a small portion of chili powder. That hottest batch has no tomatoes whatsoever, usually. While I agree poultry is more of a blank slate, the chemical makeup of beef and buffalo actually enhance the flavor profile of the peppers, if prepared correctly. It's also why I prefer beef chorizo over pork. And just an fyi, depending on how beans are stored and prepared you can completely change their texture, from semi crunchy mildy undercooked dried beans to a near refried bean texture from overcooked canned ones. I love really thick soups in general, and make all 4 heat levels of my chili thick enough to eat with chopsticks. It's great the next day on hot dogs too. But, each to their own. BTW I'm jealous that you live close enough to the source to buy them regularly. I have to order mine and pay a bunch of shipping costs.

I've been working late this past week so my dad and brother have been ordering out. Last night when I got home instead of ordering some thing my brother actually made stir fry. What a tragedy! It was sooo awful! I Don't know how but most of the rice was over cooked and mushy but some of it was undercooked and crunchy. The only thing I can think of is that he added more rice and it didn't cook it long enough. The vegetables were half raw and for the meat he used cubed ham that I use in soups. Then he drowned all of it in both soy and teriyaki sauce. What made it even more sad is that my brother was soo proud of himself. I couldn't bring myself to tell him it was totally awful. I guess if I ever need to lose weight I can just have Tyler cook for me.

Or, you could teach him the basics. That way he can take care of himself, and someday not scare off a possible S/O with terrible culinary skills. You don't have to be cruel about it, just tell him you have some pointers to make it better. My son used to epically fail, couldn't even make Ramen without burning it. Now he's at least got the basics.

LOL girl that sounds a damn mess!!! My little brother used to do stuff like this, too, but he actually got really into cooking and now is a wonderful cook--there is hope for your brother yet! I'm sorry you had to eat that undercooked rice--that is the WORST. You're a good sport for not crushing his self-confidence.

My sister does that sort of thing as well. I've tried to teach her, and have succeeded on a few points, but she is stubborn. ;D She won't even follow recipes, she'll just start throwing stuff together without any clue what it even does.

LOL girl that sounds a damn mess!!! My little brother used to do stuff like this, too, but he actually got really into cooking and now is a wonderful cook--there is hope for your brother yet! I'm sorry you had to eat that undercooked rice--that is the WORST. You're a good sport for not crushing his self-confidence.
Yeah, I just couldn't hurt his feelings like that. Plus he was trying to be sweet since he knows I totally love stir-fry. He's gotten a little better at cooking than he was. Once he boiled spaghetti until it actually disentigated and there was just a pot of starchy gooey water. He was waiting for the noodles to absorb the water like rice does. That one I totally had to laugh at.

OMG I bet you did. I literally laughed out loud reading it. That only works (waiting for rice like absorption) if you add just enough water to barely submerge the noodles. Hard to do with longer noodles like spaghetti. I prefer my macaroni a little waterlogged, it's bigger, softer, and more filling. The softness helps with my hypersensitivity issues. But I only make it that way if I'm the only one eating it.

Tonight I'm having my most frequent main meal, four slices of wholewheat toast around two slices of mature cheddar cheese. Has to be mature to be tasted through the toast. Also having a glass of tropical fruit juice. Plain but pretty healthy, I think. If only I could stick to that.

I can't make it any spicier than this if the wife is eating. She has Crohns disease, so even this low of a heat level caused her abdominal pain, but in her words: "God dammit, I both love and hate you right now. I am sooo gonna pay for it, but dear god is it worth it." I had to add 3 Tbsp of ghost chili and habanero hot sauce to my bowls.

I like spicy food too but I literally bit off more than I could chew when I once bought a fruiting chili plant. I plucked off a nice ripe, red little chili and bit into it. It felt like it was corroding my mouth, and water didn't seem to help. My mouth didn't recover for at least a day, so perhaps I am really a spice wimp too.
Tonight I'll have mature cheddar cheese on toasted wholewheat bread again. Why? Well, for one thing I like it but also ...
Mother Teresa arrived in Heaven, where God himself welcomed her and invited her to dine with Him. While He prepared their supper, Mother Teresa looked down from Heaven into Hell. Millions of lost souls were feasting on every kind of meat and drinking fine wines. When God brought their dinner to the table, Mother Teresa was surprised to see that it was just bread and cheese.
"Those damned souls are feasting on fine foods and wine while I, having led a good life, am going to eat bread and cheese" said Mother Teresa. "I'm not complaining but I don't understand."
God shrugged sadly and replied "It doesn't pay to cook for two".
It doesn't pay to cook for one, either.

Then again, maybe not. Do you have any idea exactly what breed of chili it was. Chilies range from around 1000 Scoville (Jalapenos are 2000-7000) to over 2 million (the Carolina Reaper.) While I grew up in a Mexican household eating my Grandmas Jalapenos, Serranos and Habaneros off the vine, I won't go any hotter unless its mixed in a dish. I ate a Ghost chili (Bhut Jolokia/Naga Jolokia) once, and have eating a Reaper on my bucket list, but otherwise, I'm not up for that much burn on the way in or the way out. Ghost chilies up through the Reaper can actually leave blisters. Nagas look very similar to standard run of the mill chilies, but heat wise are in between Habaneros and Ghost chilies. If the pepper you ate was into 6 figures or more on the Scoville scale, then you definitely aren't a spice wimp for the reaction.

It was a Cayenne pepper. I just Googled it and it is no more than 50 000 on the Scoville scale and regarded as "fairly mild".
I did swallow it, as I was with people and didn't want to spit it out.
Actually, it could have been a peri peri chili (African birdseye chili), which looks similar to me, and I was in South Africa at the time. If so, it might have been up to 175 000 on the scale. I can't know for sure now, though.

Yeah, Cayennes average closer to 7500, but in rare cases get close to 50k. They're the main ingredient in Tobasco and other common hot sauces. Sounds more like it was the Peri Peri from your reaction.
While inherently basic on a Ph test, capsaicin acts more like an acid. It is neutralized by buffer bases much faster than if you use a mild acid (like beer or soda.) Cheese, bread, milk, and other dairy products drastically reduce the perceived heat. I won't touch peppers in the 6 or 7 figures on the Scoville without some dairy handy. Just make sure its not Habanero cheddar. LOL

The Thai Dragon Cayenne I grow tend to come in at like 50k to 100k I believe. Without knowing the specific type it can be hard to say since Cayenne is probably one of the most variable in heat, since it is such a common pepper there are tons of slight variations in a large range, all lumped side by side with no explanation at Lowes or wherever.
I know I can eat one straight up, but it is absolutely not fun, not fun at all.
They need a new scale in my opinion, the entire Scoville system isn't very informative. The hottest peppers at 1 million to 2 million are not literally 20-40 times hotter than Cayenne at 50k for instance, and most people won't have any clue what the numbers actually mean. Even at the same tier, other factors can make the heat vary wildly. Scotch Bonnet and Habanero are roughly the same scoville units (considered same tier and are closely related), but Scotch Bonnet is way, way hotter than Habanero to me.

Doesn't hurt that it helps with metabolism, immune system, digestion, and has mild estrogenic properties. Capsaicin is also great for the skin and gives one of the best and safest completely legal "Highs" you can get. Works great on breaking through a depression cycle. It's only downside is that it can aggravate, but not cause, a preexisting digestive disorder. I would think that more M2F's would become chili heads if they did the dietary research.

Only exploded 1 lime in the microwave in the process of cooking it ;D (Was attempting to microwave for a short time to help release more juices, remembered it was still in after 30 secs when I heard a loud POP from the microwave; funny enough, the hole in the lime was a great size through which to squeeze much of the lime juice, so it turned out being like one of those plastic limes filled with lime juice extract, only a real lime)

Sounds very tasty, depending on how you did the tofu and what kind you used. Never heard of using potatoes in a Thai curry. Didn't think they grew there. But if it works, it works.

I've been making a sausage/pasta dish using dry sausages. I started with Daniele brand Abruzzese sausage but my store stopped carrying it. Any hard, dry salami type sausage will work, even pepperoni but it has a lot of that red pepperoni grease.
Start by cutting your sausage into thick slices, then cut the slices into half moons. I find that to be a nice size. Put them in a single layer in a big pan with olive oil and butter and start it on medium heat. No need to move them around, you want the bottoms to take on some colour. Add your seasonings. (I used black pepper, parsley, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.) As they cook, peel and chop an onion and throw it in. Then peel and crush a couple cloves of garlic and put that in. Garlic should only get one minute in a hot pan so it won't burn. By now the meat should have a beautiful colour on the bottom.
There are two options at this point. You can add spaghetti cooked the old-fashioned way to the meat and toss them together to deglaze the pan and coat the pasta with the butter sauce. Or you can do the water absorption (like rice) trick, which is my preferred method. I added a quart of water to deglaze the pan, then some rigatoni , stirred it up and brought it to a boil with the cover on. Then you just wait for it to boil off the water, let it sit covered for a few minutes, and serve.

I had Taco Tuesday as well! 6 soft shell shredded chicken tacos at a place here that just makes the best tacos I've ever had. I copied their recipe through trial and error and make some modifications when I feel like it (I think I mentioned a variation in this thread already actually). I have been trying to eat a bit more daintily of late, but that goes out the window when its taco time.
Devlyn, great call on the new avatar. Panda pimp is my hero. Also, red pepperoni grease is simply called liquid heaven. (Pepperoni, hamburger pizza with the beef finally ground and placed on top of the pepperonis, frying in that grease while baking... oh god. So delicious.)

Jenny, yes you got me hungry. Even for midrats. That is a meal and not a feral animal.
At least is is not a repeat of your sky high pizza.
I had large boiled shrimp and a baked potatoes. Simple but so good.

LOL, if you noticed I didn't use tomato either. I suck at traditional roux though. And that gumbo is the only way I can stomach quinoa as well. I know it's good for me, but don't care for the taste or texture. In the gumbo on a slow cook with the spices, can't even tell it's there until it settles in your tummy and you really feel full.

Fav cold weather soup? Anything spicy: Chili, Gumbo, or even homemade Chicken and Rice or Tomato Soup with some spices and cayenne. As long as its thick, hearty, filling, and clears my sinuses then great.

Brownie-cookie. :D Just toss brownie batter and cookie dough of choice alternated in the slow cooker until done to your liking. Gotta really watch the edges, and how it turns out is heavily dependent on your slow cooker.
Anyway, tonight i made my crawifsh etouffee. It was okay-ish, used a crawfish stock that overpowered the other flavors, should have stuck with chicken broth or water.

Thank you. I plan out what I'm going to make for the week and make some of it ahead of time. If I didn't cook my dad and brother would live on pizza and junk food. The totally sad part about that is that even if they did eat junk they wouldn't gain any weight. Sigh.....so unfair.

Curry is super easy, it's almost impossible even for inexperienced cooks to mess up so you'll be fine since you know your way around a kitchen for sure. (Only thing to be aware of is using the right type of curry for the dish, like with any spice.)

I will have to try some curry recipes. Actually I have never had curry before so I don't even know if I like it. Tonight I made cheddar, provalone and bacon stuffed chicken breasts , green beans with onions and mushrooms.

I will have to try some curry recipes. Actually I have never had curry before so I don't even know if I like it. Tonight I made cheddar, provalone and bacon stuffed chicken breasts , green beans with onions and mushrooms.
I recommend starting with a premade curry sauce in a jar then to get a basic idea of the taste, many are not really comparable to anything else and you may find it difficult to judge while cooking without reference. I highly recommend starting with Korma, it's a good robust flavor that is easy to love even if you are unfamiliar with the general flavor of curries.
Quick, super simple recipe:
1 Jar Korma (I use Sharwood brand)
1 lb shrimp
Broccoli
Pineapple
Cashews
Ginger
Garlic
Sesame Oil
Jasmine or a good short grain rice
Naan
Par steam the broccoli a little bit and set aside. Put oil in the pan, add fresh ginger and garlic to taste (I like a lot) and do the usual release the flavors routine. Put in shrimp, get it nice and coated in the seasoned oil, and cook until mostly done. Remove excess water in the pan so you can get a bit of a sear on it if you want, I hate having random shrimp water in my pan. Add in the broccoli and jar of sauce and toss to coat well. Let cook for just a minute to heat the sauce and finish the broccoli off. Add cashews and pineapple chunks, using pineapple juice to thin the sauce a bit (I often put a lot of extra juice and just cook out the moisture, concentrating the flavor). Let flavors combine for a few minutes. Serve over the rice and naan, topped with a few more cashews (so they are nice and crunchy) and a bit of finishing salt. NEVER FORGET THE NAAN! :D
Also, in my opinion, don't try to ever be too traditional. Even if a particular recipe doesn't call for pineapple or cashews, if you like pineapple and cashews add them. If it is meant for fish, shrimp works just as well. Curry as a generic dish is very free form by its nature and isn't just one thing, so even if you deviate from one recipe you just stumble into another perfectly legitimate recipe. Other good starting dishes are Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala.
And again, NEVER FORGET THE NAAN! Mmmm.... naan....
Moving out of India/Pakistan, Thai curries are also really good. Choochee salmon is amazing, I think I've mentioned it before in this thread. I fell in love with it at a local Thai place and cook it whenever I find salmon on sale.

Ethnic/international most likely. In the stores I go to at least. Also, my step-mother uses a lot of mango chutney with it, at least on the naan, but I'm not crazy about it. Might be something you'd like though to give a try.

There was a dish we liked at a local Chinese restaurant, Grand Marnier Shrimp which was a variation of Crispy Shrimp with Honey Walnuts. Tonight it mutated to near unrecognizability.
The shrimp became chicken. The batter became tempura batter because I do a pretty good one. The mayonnaise remained mayonnaise. The sweetened condensed milk became coconut milk. The Grand Marnier became sweet tea bourbon. The walnuts became pecans and were not glazed. Green beans were added just because.
Oddly it was still recognizably a variation of the original.
P.S: no measurements. We cook by eye and taste.

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.
They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

Thank you. I plan out what I'm going to make for the week and make some of it ahead of time. If I didn't cook my dad and brother would live on pizza and junk food. The totally sad part about that is that even if they did eat junk they wouldn't gain any weight. Sigh.....so unfair.

Home made cheese enchiladas!
Cooking used to be a horrible experience for me. My wife always ridiculed me and complained about my technique and then would turn around and yell at me for not wanting to cook for her.
She gave me my freedom about 18 months ago and I have rediscovered my love of cooking. I like to make casseroles and slow cooker meals on my days off. I freeze them in single serving size portions so I always have something I can reheat when I get home from work, no matter how late at night.

I make the green bean casserole for my brother. He totally has to have it for thanksgiving. Ewww. Oh, and a can of jelled cranberries since no one likes homemade cranberry sauce. And for dessert I made pumpkin and Dutch apple pie. I made 2 of each. When you have a lot of people 1 pie doesn't go very far and you end up giving everyone like really stingy slices. I don't know how it was because I haven't eaten it yet. Lol.

I've been invited to dinner at the home of a magnificent chef, the same wonderful person who filled my freezer with delicious soups and chili when I first came home from the hospital after my recent surgery. She's opened her new home to several friends for this Thanksgiving, which I thought was a wondeful gesture.
