Title: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: Miss Philicia on November 17, 2011, 09:14:12 pm
I thought I'd have a date with Wumpy tonight, even though he's stood me up. So for dinner I'm making hot dogs (though in a nod to NO MOAR CARBS I shunned the buns), tater tots (yummy! perfect treat for 16 year olds named Justin!) and baked beans (I had trouble finding a can opener because the last time I purchased something in a can was a few years ago).

ps: if I don't come out of the trailer park by midnight send Jan to find me

~toodles~ :P

Hope you added some American processed cheese slices to the hot dogs and added an extra layer of salt to the tator tots....

I had a large philly cheese steak sub yesterday for lunch - with all the toppings - and they had to wrap it in three layers of paper and the grease still seeped out. Then I went to Duffy's sports bar earlier tonight and had some breaded chicken wings...

Now, I am watching tv and having a few Coronas.

Happy eating - nutrition is way over-rated --- LOL (just kidding as I don't want to pay for my transgressions and cavalier attitude later)

-Phil (whose stomach is still bloated from the philly, the wings, and 5 or 6 Coronas)

Work, Sister Fire :)

@Phil-A-Tio: no cheese slices like that as I can't bring myself to ever eat "cheese food" and I did put some salt on the tater tots, but alas it was sea salt

And a Philly Cheese Steak in MIA? Clutch the pearls! I know that thing wasn't any good. The key is the bread used and the is Sarcone's bakery on S. 9th St. (http://italianmarketphilly.org/food-shops-takeout/bread/sacrone%E2%80%99s-bakery/)

ps: I forgot that dessert will be a mint Klondike bar and a shot of vodka:)

Can a big bag of Lays potato chips and a family size Wonder bread be far behind?  And don't forget a vat of Gulden's mustard and maybe some Kraft imitation mayo and those triangular packaged cheeses!  And the appetizer would be Campbell's tomato soup and some Ritz crackers.  For dessert some Hostess cupcakes on a platter.  And wash it all down with some Colt 45 malt liquors!  Then strike up a Newport cig.

Cinnamon rolls? From a 2nd rate Texas-based pizza buffet chain no less? How depressingly plebeian.

Miss P enjoyed an almond croissant from Di Bruno's and a cup of Aida's Grand Reserve coffee.

ps: for those concerned, as one hour ago post-podiatrist visit I put a shoe on my left foot for the first time in a month. That said, everything down there still feel very stiff.

I agree. Those cinnamon rolls look slightly mutated. They look like a plate of turds shot out of an 83 year old woman and then sprayed with hot cum, then shoved to Wumpy through some buffet line glass on a nauseating yellow ochre plate.

I do have a Glutino gluten free, dairy free and, most likely taste free, pizza in the freezer. That is as close as I get.

Whats the fun of a hot dog with no bun.  Or, did you slice them, gril fry to crispy edges and pour the baked beans over it.

They had saucisses de vienne (hot dogs) marked down at the last hour at the supermarket tonight.  I really wanted them, but I opted for boneless skinless turkey breast. A meat so bland I always have to find some spicy saucey way to eat it. And I won't even bother until Tuesday, I bet.  It just doesnt motivate me.

Who was I kidding though. A couple meters down the aisle I spied a chuck of pâté en croûte aux morilles at half price, and threw it in my cart, cause so you know I'm getting my porc fat! 

In the fall I go a a kick of lentil, endives and red beets so I'll probably eat that pate sliced, cold. with lentils and endive, all cheap.  That is perfect for sunday lunch.  I'm planting spring bulbs tomorrow, all day.

You gotta get creative,

Our resident Uppity-Yank will love this one...

My mom used to make a dish called Dotty-Dogs when I was a kid, and actually I still make it from time to time.  You make instant potatos using tomato sauce (makes the potatos nice and red and tangy), then you slice hot dogs half-way thu down the middle lengthwise and put the mashed potatos in them, then top with cheese and bake.

mmm-mmm  ;D

I like hot dogs both plain and with buns. It's just that this time I bought "for good kosher Jews" Hebrew National Jumbo Beef Franks (preferred brand, along with Nathan's... I won't buy any others) and they come 4 to a package because of the larger size. Buns are 8 to a package, and since I only indulge in hot dogs maybe twice a year I just figured I'd go without this time.

ps: when I have buns I prefer top-sliced, toasted. And relish is a must! And always resist the urge to buy those hot dogs from street vendors in NYC!

With Kindest Regards,

I have a hankering for some freshly made party mix and think I will muster up some now that I am thinking about em.  I will add pecans to this.  We actually had a good amount this year from a little pecan grove that is out on the farm.  

Today's treat for me was to fix a few hot spiced rums and then finish spraying some pine cones with cinnamon oil mixed in a bit of water.  The pine cones will dry and smell to high heavens for a few weeks.  Warning:  do NOT get cinnamon oil on your skin... burns like a branding iron on a hot July afternoon.

It can be very high in salt, especially the kind you purchase already made.  I was checking to see what all I have and can do a version with wheat chex, corn and rice chex, pecans, and wasabi covered peanuts.  I am craving party food for some reason today... could be the little bit of spiced rum I had just a while ago.  

edited to add:  I dont want to blow my BP up so if I make this it will be a lower salt version.  Our Christmas ham will be ordered soon... Virginia ham of course!

Yes, I know of a butcher who carries it at the 9th Street italian Market (http://italianmarketphilly.org/). I'm sure other butchers might have it there too, there are a handful of them. But this one in particular is where I've had it. If you like regular prosciutto then you'd probably like it -- definitely a richer taste. Now see what you folks are missing by not picking Miss P's city for AMG? DC does not have this fierce Italiano flavor! Trust! I grew up there.

All of this food talk made me dig into the fridge to my cheese purchases I made a week ago and believe it or not had not dived into yet --such self-discipline. So I'm now eating a minute portion of Toma della Rocca. It's an amazing soft, stinky cheese from the Piedmont region of Italy and is mixture of cow's, goat's and sheep's milk. This is some seriously great cheese.

CiCi's in Austin are all owned by the same old guy and he known for keeping his storefronts spotless and shining. I used to go to one on the east side at least twice a month when I was single, but have been only once or twice since cohabitating. The manager recognized me when I came in and had the kitchen throw a mushroom pie in the oven for me immediately. I may have to trek over there one day when I start driving again.

Yes you can get all sorts of it with Swiss, Austrian or Italian pigs.  They say the black forest boar is a scam though.
In Geneva, the government hunts the pigs and only a few butchers get the meat.
Its a guilty pleasure.
I dip figs, dates or dried apricots in MOSTARDA DI FRUTTA syrup then wrap in Prosciutto di Cinghiale on an amber glass plate.  If the fruit in the mustard is really top, then I'll just use it.  Nuke it 2 minutes at least on high power. its best piping hot and the prosciutto, scandale, is cooked!. It floods the aparment with voluptuous aromas.

We're having the office Thanksgiving Party tomorrow - so I will be sure to report on all the goodies I will be ingesting.

I know that there will be ice cream, pumpkin cake of some sort, some Spanish (Cuban) dishes (of course, this is Miami after all) - I will be bringing some fried chicken and may make a late morning run (duck out of work) to go to Chef Creole's and pick up a few orders of their spicy conch fritters (they are the best I have ever had)... we will also have some Puerto Rican culinary delights (as one of my coworkers is from PR and has volunteered to bring some homemade dishes).

I should be napping under my desk most of the afternoon after the lunch time party.

1) because I'm still gimpin' I'm about to cancel my planned Thanksgiving jaunt to the Big Apple. I really don't think I'm up to that much yet, seeing as how it would involve two subways, two commuter trains, and multitudes of stairs and walking at each transfer point, all while lugging my metallic valise. This means that I will have no proper turkey meal, or indeed any company at all. I hope something entertaining is on television other than the latest clip from rawf*ckclub

2) I did, however, manage the trip to the grocery store (in the rain) and during check out the man in front of me was indulging in Wumpette Nutrition™. I'd wager he was around 250 lbs. and the proud purchaser of a 30-pack of hot dogs, a similar size selection of bologna, and a large amount of supermarket brand (fake) cheese singles. I felt so silly with my paltry choices of baby spinach, greek strained yogurt and fresh wild mushroom pasta.

  :(  .  Fly down here .... I will pick you up at the airport and stuff you with a turkey .

Do you promise hot open-face sammiches on Wonder Bread with the left overs? Or even better would be turkey hash on waffles, like my mother does :) Now how fucking Southern is that? You twats always question my Confederate street cred. And I bet you girls didn't have a grandmother who pickled peaches.

ps: I've still yet to have better stuffing than Gran Gran made. It was ovah.

I was just going to offer to fly you down to San Antonio to have Dinner with the family here, but after reaading this I'm reminded it would probably be best not to have a pompous Yankee ass sitting at a lovely southern table.   ;)

Well yeah, duh -- what do you kind folks eat down there anyway? Turkey tacos with beans and sweet potato sauce?

ps: I don't even like turkey all that much, so I picked up a lovely large T-bone :P And if I'm really lucky tomorrow I'll be able to sprinkle klonopin all over it. Can't do that at Granny's now can you?

Now that is definitely Northern. What's next for you I ask? Corned beef and brisket? Lox on a bagel? Gefilte and matzah ball soup? Just don't ask for pickled prepuce because you'll be very disappointed.

Speaking of the Jews -- I put an S.O.S text out to one of The Chosen People that I know to see if his previous Turkey Day invitation is still open, though it means venturing to eat with his disabled sister at the Care Facility where she lives. Last time I met her she kept spitting on me when she talked, which might not be kosher during a holiday begun by Christian fundamentalists.

First plate, Jalapeno Chicken, Sauteed mushrroms, Shrimp and chicken, deep fried eggroll.

Actually mashed potatoes are often made quite incorrectly. Properly done they require the use of a potato ricer and it's the only way I make them! Otherwise the texture is off.

Well fuck. I took off the adhesive bit on the last stitches, the ones removed last Friday (for the first time) to take a shower (also the first fucking full shower) and what do I find -- puss and blood -- not gobs of it but enough to be concerned. So I cleaned it up with some sanitized wipes, put on some band aids, put on two pairs of socks on the foot,  will wear my podiatrist boot and use a cane to this Thanksgiving dinner. I actually tried to call my friend thinking I should just stay home but he's unreachable -- I love how 65 year olds don't keep their cell phones on unless they're going to use them. What's up with that?

I'll see if he can't take me to a pharmacy open on holidays for gauze and an Ace bandage, then hopefully my podiatrist office is open tomorrow. Won't hold my breath on that either.

That said, I walked about 15 blocks today: pastry shop (about to have an almond chocolate croissant with Honduran coffee), post office (tasty Italian muscle queen in line there), Cosmi's Deli for that delish sammich and then back home to do 2 loads of laundry. Nothing like getting those skidmarks out, I say!

You know, my first boyfriend back in college had a shrink that said something like that... well, until he said to break up with me. But fuck that -- I was two-timin' on that kid with a hot, tall big dicked Italian guy anyway. Both of these guys were my first boyfriends and I couldn't remember their names if you paid me. I do know that the first time I had sex it was a three-way with these two guys, and in a freshman dorm room on the floor.

PS: uh, Wumpasaurus, what is in that putrid pasta dish you just made? I'm making pasta myself in an hour or so (you know, Yankee girls eat dinner at 9 PM... prime reservation hour in restaurants too... and we do NOT call it "supper") and I suppose in the interest of nutrition I will gladly post a picture.

All I can add is that if this forum expects me to marry Wumpy then I'm doing all of the cooking -- I can't eat bowls of pasta that look like something street vermin vomited on a paper plate. And I certainly wouldn't ever trust that queen with my clothing for laundry -- I mean I line dry black t-shirts (keeps the color intact!). I hate dusting and vacuuming so I guess he can do that, and he's in charge of chauffeur duties. Majorly.

As far as sex... well, he'll need to hire me young Dominican boys. On his dime.

OK Wumpy -- now you know Miss P and I don't exactly run in the same circles and all -- but she hit the nail on the head about this mess.  I think I actually threw up a little when I saw this photo.  That is some NASTY looking shit and I'm half Irish -- we certainly know nothing about good cooking.

So -- part of you pre-nup should read that Miss P does ALL cooking for the family.  She can even pass on some of her fabulous recipes to your granddaughter.  After all, she'll need to be able to say how wonderful grandma's cooking was.........   ;)

Silly queen -- real tuna doesn't taste like that tuna used from a can! You also obviously never enter a sushi restaurant, so we can't ever date. A $21/lb. tuna isn't like albacore tuna used in canned products, there are many species of tuna. What I bought is probably bluefin tuna. But "ps" I love canned tuna too :) Seriously nothing so pleasurable as a proper tuna melt and some fries, plus a Raspberry Coke (yes, made with Raspberry syrup)

and ps: that was a simple plate of corn tortilla chips with monterrey jack cheese melted on top in the oven... like a cheap version of nachos. I usually cut up jalapenos and sprinkle on it but was out of them.

Nonsense -- even when you grill something like tuna it should still be raw in the middle. If you order it cooked well in a restaurant the waiters scoff behind your back.
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: jkinatl2 on November 29, 2011, 10:37:08 pm
I'll be honest. I can't stand much made with canned tuna. It's really good for you as a source of protein, especially when weight training. It's got oils that are good for the skin, and if you can overlook the occasional flakes of Godzilla I'm sure it's tasty.

I've forced many a can down in my bodyboy days (which were followed by bodyboi days. Which are now supplanted by "I dont want fat pants" days). But I never, ever developed a taste for the stuff. But I still have plenty in the pantry and fridge, which, along with smoothies, are my "treats" after a workout.

I like smoothies, don't get me wrong. But without rum I'm never sure how to garnish.

But have ALWAYS loved me some sushi. A local place offers a sashimi plate for lunch at about ten dollars. A healthy wad of cash for us poors, but once every two months or so. I indulge. Raw tuna, squid, snapper, and beautiful red roe on a pile of sticky rice - with a side of Miso soup and enough wasabi and ginger to knock me out and make my breath smell good while unconscious, and I'm in heaven.

Never been sick from the stuff, thank God/dess. Not even when I had half a dozen CD4 cells.

But that having been said, I LOVE southern cooking. Specifically Cajun and Creole, which I am becoming rather adept at recreating in my shabby one bedroom hovel.

Trick is, as Philly pointed out, portion size. I bought smaller plates - especially bowls - and I've noticed a real difference.

But seriously, raw seafood is the best. Oysters to sushi, the stuff is magic. It's been worth my time on earth to experience those things. Well, and the cool as hell Indian guy with whom I used to spark up and mutually pleasure. But that's a raw food for another plate.

I'm not worried about the safety of sushi -- I simply detest the texture.  There is also probably a bit of it that is all in my mind too -- the thought of eating raw fish (or any raw meat) just doesn't appeal.

Perhaps someday that will change -- I used to hate brussel sprouts once and now love them.

I get that "real" Tuna is different than canned tuna (my ex was always trying to shove Grilled Tuna down my pie hole), but just looking at Tuna I get flashbacks of my babysitter forcing me to eat tuna sandwich then throwing it up and being forced to eat that. Just reading the rest of this thread is making me woosy LOL. I need serious psychotherapy.

However I LOVE Sushi and will eat just about any other fish. Also, Raw Oysters are lovely.

But that having been said, I LOVE southern cooking. Specifically Cajun and Creole, which I am becoming rather adept at recreating in my shabby one bedroom hovel.


I would love to be able to cook real authentic Cajun and Creole. A few years back my neighbor in Austin Who was from deep Louisiana would occasionally cook up a batch of Gumbo, oh it was sinful. Okra, tomatoes, shrimp, crawfish, sausage, and some ingredients she refused to ID.

They all look alike to me ;D  I don't think that is the place.  It's within a couple of blocks of the Roosevelt.  I believe it was downstairs.  But that was so long ago and brain fade is still a reality sometimes.

It really was fresh shrimp.  Jan had no problem with it, she gladly helped me out since she wasn't too excited about the menu.

Wumpy, you are a man after my own heart.

With this in mind I'm going to share with you a authentic Aussie recipe that I invented for tonight's tea (aka as dinner) and which I now name in your honor, the Wumpy Sanger.

Ingredients
6 slices of white supermarket bread
margarine
1 tin of ham (sliced into 9 slices) (you can use spam)
1 tin of pineapple rings
3 slices of cheese
tomato sauce (ketchup)

Directions
Butter 3 slices of bread generously with margarine.
Spread the tomato sauce over the other 3 slices of bread

I was totally on board with this until the Tuna showed up.  :'(

btw, I am having Brown Beans and cornbread tonight. mmmm-mmmm.



Was it gluten free corn bread?

What kind of beans were they? Pinto beans are, of course, a staple in New Mexico, but I also like Anasazi beans and there are, of course, bolita beans, usually seen in northern Mexico, central New Mexico an just a smidgen north of the border in southern Colorado.

I have become a bean connoisseur.

So, what's wrong with grilled tuna? I love it, as long as its either raw or fully cooked. I don't care for the pan seared, raw in the middle type.

By the way, has everyone stocked up on their black eyed peas and collard greens? New Year's Day is fast approaching.

HUGS,

Mark

Oh, yes They were Pinto Beans. They are a staple down here also. I Put Bacon slices and onion in them, along with Season all and fresh garlic. Sometimes If I'm feeling fancy I will throw in a can of Rotel tomatoes towards the end of cook time. and no, sweety the cornbread was not Gluten-free. I can tell you that I use Corn grits instead of corn meal for my cornbread, gives it a better texture :)

Nope, not "on all of the bars". You rarely see them these days - probably a health and safety issue forced on us by EU regulations.

When did you become a vocal Tory Euro-sceptic back bencher? Did you go out and celebrate Cameron giving those German fascists and arrogant Frenchies the finger yesterday?

The only reason those jars of pickled eggs have disappeared is because all of the charming British pubs have been replaced with trendy modernist-style wine bars. Before you know it there won't be anything left in that country except cheap frozen pizzas from Tesco.

Nope, I couldn't give a toss what Camamoron did yesterday. He'll probably change his mind again in a few days anyway.

EU regulations piss me off in some ways, yes, like how we had to bring all our food processing centers etc up to EU regulations, but yet we do not receive a single pence in return as we are not part of the EU. When places in the UK had to do similar upgrades to meet requirements, they got subsidies, grants or other financial help meeting the extra costs of having the work done. We got jack shit. Our companies had to eat the costs.

We also have to accept EU residents as residents here (just like we accept the Brits), but we are not permitted the same access, residential or work rights in the EU and we cannot hold EU passports, unlike people in the UK. It's all take and no give, from the Manx perspective.

There are still plenty of traditional pubs in the UK, and even more so here on the Rock, but you don't see pickled eggs sitting on the bar any more anywhere.

Well duh, if you want good pasta go to a proper pasta shop. You're only a stone's throw from Italy, surely some Italian has set up shop in Zurich or whatever Swiss location you are in.

I am, fortunately, graced with speedy access to Talluto's (http://tallutos.com/), about 7 blocks walk away. Tasty goodness, and when I went to kick it up a notch I head for the lobster raviolli, but probably only once a year because it's pricey.

I've been talking about Five Guys for years... after all it started in DC. The fact that this is your first visit there indicates a severe amount of FAIL.

Speaking of burgers though, after viewing the Comcast Holiday Spectacular (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-uC28fLXZE) on the largest LED display in the world this past Wednesday night, I took a friend to seek out what the local newspaper food critic calls the best burger in the city, at Good Dog (http://www.gooddogbar.com/). Alas, the wait was 30 minutes so we went to 500 Degrees (http://www.yelp.com/biz/500-degrees-philadelphia-3) where they serve a lower cost version of their burgers at expensive Rouge (http://www.rouge98.com/) (eek $16 burgers, though cheaper than the $26 one at Village Whiskey). The 500 Degrees burger will set you back only $8 for a combo, though you can upgrade to things like truffle fries should you wish.

At best it was a toss up with Five Guys, though 500's bun was better. I'm still on a mission for Good Dog.

Uh Darlin you DOUBLE fail. My first visit to 5 Guys was in Fredericksburg Virginia (the Central Park location)back in '05ish, not only that I've patronized this one in SA several times.

btw, I dont remember the Cajun fries last time I went. Had them this time but half way through the cup I was sweating. Suckers are SPICY. I found myself wiping off the red and black seasoning just so I could finish them.

Fuck BK -- I just had a 12" Italian hoagie with all the works: Coppa, Spicy Capicola, Mortadella, Provolone, onion, roasted red peppers, vinaigrette, red chiles, and artichoke hearts. Oh, and two large 4th St Bakery chocolate chip cookies (still too chilly for that tasty gelato that Wumpy scorns out of jealousy)

I'm following this up with a bottle of klonopin, sixty 1mg tablets... and some Boone's Farm (vintage stock Country Kwencher, natch!)

Actually I usually leave off the artichoke myself :)

And the thing about hoagie goodness is how key the bread is -- South Philly is hoagie central for the entire city so we also have the bakeries that supply the top places with daily bread. It's all about this place (http://italianmarketphilly.org/food-shops-takeout/bread/sacrone%E2%80%99s-bakery/). The bakery also runs a deli that makes hoagies around the corner and it's probably the #1 place IMO.

When I lived in Brooklyn for a decade I had a White Castle a mere two blocks from me. The frozen ones taste remarkably like the non-frozen ones. And those also give you diarrhea -- that's why they're called "sliders" you know. They slide down your throat and immediately out your ass.

I'm convinced that they put baby laxative in them, like cheap cut cocaine.

The mascot looks like something out of a Stephen King Book. He wouldnt be so bad if they would get rid of that "I just killed 3 people" face on him. I actually love the whopper and prefer their flame broiling over the others hot stovetop cooking.

oh, btw , has anyone been to a Jack In The Box lately? They now have gotten rid of the front counter help and replaced them with machines. You order your food and pay on the machines and it spits out a receipt and you go and wait for your food. It was quite interesting, although I must say I miss the gum cracking, nail filing, rude and disinterested high schoolers behind the counter. Now if they could only get the machine to roll it's eyes or tell me to go fuck myself it would be perfect.

Mine was twice as expensive for half the slices... what's that tell you? It was outlandish and I doubt I will ever do it again, but I'd read how good it was and wanted to try it. This was farmer's market stuff, not supermarket, and came direct from a farm in York, PA.

I love goat, and have a small bit of it in my freezer. It's quite lean and better for you as meat goes. I've had a bit of it from Latin American places. There's a Mexican place here I go that does a great braised goat with scallions. And whenever I was in San Juan there was a great "jibaro style" (read: country food, or really mountain food) restaurant that I would regularly order stewed goat.

As long as you live somewhere with an ethnically diverse population you should have no problem locating a place to buy it, just won't find it at Walmart.

LOL! holy crap. Mc Nuggets are full of Silicone and Butane? WHY DIDNT someone tell me? ...

Aside from chicken and oil, those “stabilizers and preservatives” are said to include dimethylpolysiloxane, a form of silicone also used in cosmetics. Another additive is tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a form of butane. According to one report, chicken is only about 50 percent of a McNugget; the remainder is a mixture of corn-derived ingredients, sugars and synthetic substances

I must admit that ever since McD's came ot with the new Sweet-Chili dipping sauce I've increased my nugget intake, but not horribly bad only about twice in the past 10 days.

 But no more, I draw the line at Butane in my food ???

When I go to Mc Dees I always get the chicken breast sandwich , the one that's plain with one pickle . I always get the chicken nuggets for my bulldog but even she has been turning her nose up at them lately . Its pretty scary when my dog is reluctant to eat them , made me think twice before I eat them .

Especially frightening for an animal that consider poop a delicacy.  She's warning you.  They don't call them "mans best friend" for nothing.

The ones I've been to in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc are just ok, nothing great.

Other than the various types of local cuisines which are quite diverse and most popular- among foreign foods- Chinese food (Indianised sort), American junk food, Italian (Pizzas, pastas mainly), Pan-Asian (esp. Thai, Malay, Sri Lankan etc), Lebanese, Greek and Continental food (Roasts and baked dishes especially) are quite popular in the big cities.

So, dare to think that Indians are only working in calling center (Yes they are in India) but in the states, these ‘browns’ are in every downtown locations in every cities!

Yeah we're all IT engineers and call centre slumdogs.  ::)

I meant it's a poor cousin- in terms of taste. Indian food has a lot beans too. Lots of it. In fact Rajma Rice is one of the most popular dishes in Northern India.

Well yeah, that's my point. For some reason, I can't imagine there being much of a Mexican immigrant community in India to set up shop and turn our a decent taquería -- and that's a simple starting point.

Kind of like how my knowledge of Indian food is skewed -- I lived in NYC for 15 years and lots of the Indian community in, say Jackson Heights (Queens) is actually Muslim/Bangladeshi so there's no pork, but when I think of Mexican food there's certainly a lot of pork. And as far as beans go they're eaten but I don't see them as "central" to the meal though they are found (refried beans being an exception but are more Northern Mexico/Tex Mex -- not something in the heart of Mexico i.e. Pueblan or Oaxaca, but they are for Caribbean-Spanish cuisine). I also equate Mexican food with the use of corn (as in a tortilla which is central to that food), but I can't fathom corn in Indian cuisine.

Um, yes.  Actually we were talking about Mexican food and central and south American food which the lovely emerald city is lacking. 

Rain town has a superb selection of Indian fare (at least I think, I'm not an expert but it's quite tasty). 

PS, who was talking about call centers?  That has nothing to do with the conversation.

Yeah, Miss P, neither pork nor beef are popular meats for the majority of Indians. Hindus usually don't eat Beef though many do (especially in the state of Kerela and North Eastern Indian States bordering China) and Muslims don't eat Pork. Pork is popular in Goa and Kerela (both states also have sizeable Catholic communities) again. Indian Corn bread (though quite different to Mexican Tortilla) with Mustard leaves curry is a popular dish in Punjab (North India) in the winter season but that's more of a speciality and you're right in that  corn isn't the mainstay cereal in Indian cuisine.     Bangladeshi food is practically the same as the cuisine of the Indian State of Bengal- lots of fish And seafood preparations. Likewise Pakistani cuisine is  virtually the same as North Indian cuisine. The main difference between Indian and Pakistani/Bdeshi cuisines is that in  the latter they lay more stress on Non-veg dishes and don't have a wide range of vegetarian options.    I don't know about the US, but the majority of Indian restaurants in the UK are run by Bangladeshi's so one ends up being served an essentially North Indian dish prepared not just in a Bengali style but also cooked  for an  European Palate - the end product is totally different to standard Indian restaurants in India. Of course one can get authentic stuff too, but you've to know where to look.

I have always loved tea unsweetened and hot sometimes too . My family being southern are hooked on sweet tea so sweet it gives me a sore throat trying to drink it . When I was a kid is was a punishable act to drink the last glass of tea without making another gallon to replace it with . My friends in chicago thought it strange I always had a gallon of tea in the fridge and even stranger it wasn't raspberry or mango flavored , which I detest .

I never sweeten my tea. And I drink it hot more than cold except at the height of summer, though I usually keep a batch of cold in the fridge.

The historical significance, assuming you know who Arne Jacobsen is, is that this was designed for the SAS House (hotel) in Copenhagen in the late 1950's. He designed not only the actual hotel, exterior and interior, but also custom designed all of the furnishings from his famous Swan and Egg chairs all the way down to the cutlery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radisson_Blu_Royal_Hotel,_Copenhagen

If visiting Copenhagen today the hotel has maintained Room 606 in it's only complete original form.

ps: I scored my coffee and tea set in used form at a flea market in Chelsea 20 years ago, with the exception of the matching tray which had to be bought new. Tis one of my very most prized possessions.

I like the handles, as well as the over-all style. Nice score!

Gotta ask, what's that white thing behind the set, the thingy that's on a stainless steel base?

Oh, and I'm jealous. That looks like a proper marble worktop. I'm getting new worktops in my kitchen, but marble they ain't. (They will be black "marble-effect" though, but they won't be anywhere near as shiny as yours.)

Fake marble, maybe, but it's the good stuff, not the matt finish "marble-effect" stuff I'm getting.

Oh, and my rent will be going up quite a bit this April. It always goes up a couple quid each April, but this year it's going to be a substantial amount, closer to ten quid a week than the usual three or four.

My mother's kitchen is getting a total make-over, including some lovely marble top that I picked.  The cabinets were done two weeks ago; then they're doing the counter-tops this week (and the floor a month after).  It will look lovely once it's completed, but for now it is an utter nightmarish mess.

The kitchen at my own place is 100% pedestrian with white formica counters.  So not very.  My landlord is a cheap mofo who only goes for clearance items.

That (along with TGI Friday's) is the epitome of middle-class pedestrianism.  When it comes to Mexican food Chili's is as authentic as Taco Hell, just a tad more expensive (and with nicer tables, I suppose).

There is only one Burger Boy in SA so I think it is family owned, it resides in what used to be a "Whopper Burger". Speaking of Whopper Burger, how bout a little Wump family history... before I was born my 19yo old mother met and fell in love with a guy named F. BAtes, who owned a chain of restaurants called Whopper Burger. They were actually very big here in South Texas. He drove a big El Dorado and flew her all around the US trying to Woo her, but he got drunk one night and slapped her or something and she left him, never looking back. and then met and fell in love with a Long tall rancher at the Houston Stock Show and Rodeo...said rancher would later sire the Wump :)

Yes. Because I'd be driving a NEW Benz and not a 9 yr old Benz if I didnt have to pay $470.mo in child support (recently lowered).


Now, where's that lipid report from you doctor that you promised to have notarized and then scanned for the forum?

about that... the Doc forgot to include that panel in my labs. So it will be another 3 months before we have proof of my beautiful lipid levels due to my Oatmeal/banana/Fish oil regimin.

that being said, I now weigh 175, which is the heaviest I have ever been and almost 30 pounds heavier since quitting smoking..

SO being that swimsuit season is a mere couple months away, there will be some changes afoot, and you will begin to start noticing them right here in this thread as I start doing away with the glutonous meals and start ushering in "lighter and friendlier meals"

Right after I finish these...

Ok,  the geek in me is about to call you out Dennis!  :o If there were three of you (Ray, your husband, and you) and you each at 1/4 of the meal, there wouldn't be 1/2 left, only 1/4. 1 - 3/4 = 1/4.

I just came back from having an early dinner at Fritz & Franz Bierhaus (http://bierhaus.cc/menu.html) in Coral Gables.  Had a couple of two liter Warsteiner Dunkel, Sauerbraten mit Spätzle, and a little bit of Gulaschsuppe.  Nothing fancy like the stuff that Philicia is cooking tonight, but delicious nonetheless.  And the company, a couple of Brazilian friends who are trying to convince me about doing some volunteer work this Summer, was phenomenal.

Lunch - some package of prepared "valentines day salad" that was filled with colorful bits of winter vegetables, to which I added cut up roast chicken, arugula, more beets, and a potato-ham-leek-and-pea stir fry I made the other day.  Rest of last night's mousseux - cheap but delicious CAVA.

Dinner: Mushrooms, Beets and Baby Greens Salad; cacciatorini and La Serena (Spain/Extremadura) raw sheep milk cheese with a vegetarian coagulant.

Actually I just finished cooking the beets and they need to cool down before I cube them. I may just stick them in the fridge and have this to eat tomorrow.

SO INSTEAD I MAY COOK A FROZEN PIZZA. (but it's the though that counts!)

Plus my feet hurt and I'm kind of tired.

You know, Im a little pissed off that Coral Gables Florida has better German restaraunts than my neighbor New BRaunfels, Texas. I used to go to http://www.friesenhausnb.com/lunch.htm but havent been in awhile, but judging by the menu it's lacking.

You need to expand your horizons, dahling.  I love me some Schnitzel, but there's a lot more to German and Austrian food than that.

Fritz & Franz is a really great place, especially during Oktoberfest or whenever there is a football (the real thing, aka soccer by some) game.  I go there more than anything for the beer.  I'm surprised that you don't have anything like it over there.

Speaking of beer, have you ever been to this place (http://www.yardhouse.com/default.aspx)?  There is one location in San Antonio.  They have an infinite selection (and their food is actually pretty good).

Wumpy,

German food in Central Texas seems to be waning.  Walburg is still popular -- surely you must have been to Walburg when you lived in Liberty Hill, or on one of your trips up to Temple?  But Walburg is mostly for drinking beer these days.  Dale's Essenhaus and The Walburg Mercantile have both Americanized their menus (especially Dale's).  But the sauerbraten and spaetzle at The Mercantile is yummy.

Henry

Funny story, I've been there.  I used to date a guy in Austin and he was a big fan of beer (he would turn his nose up at anything that didn't have some crazy name).  So we went there a couple times and bartender tried desperately to find a beer I would drink.  Eventually I settled on something he referred to as "Water".

Outside of your trailer park there is a big wide world, bigger than a double wide even. There are strange lands where people sometimes enjoy refreshing drinks with food, or even just relaxing with good conversations of multi-syllabic words.

In these odd, funny lands (strange lands without mullets, where people don't even talk american) people drink other things than draino pounded down the gullet with a rusty hammer.

Hopefully you will never have your house-arrest anklet off long enough to get as far as meeting them, we'd hate for it to blow your fragile little mind (or put them off their feed). Better you remain blisfully ignorant, with your belly full of budwiser and your head full of meth.

Good luck.

I got the sausage at a place called Di Bruno Brothers, but there are several meat shops either downtown or in the Italian Market in my neighborhood that carry extensive selections of handmade sausage. Like this place (http://www.yelp.com/biz/fiorella-brothers-sausage-philadelphia) for example it's all they do.

Oh, see if this link works (http://www.google.com/maps?layer=c&z=17&sll=39.938849999999995,-75.157017&cid=6918160771593079817&panoid=6xelVppy2f0bsilbHDDuxw&cbp=13,30.53297121430666,,0,0&q=fiorella+brother+philadelphia&ei=CilDT7eTLoq-0QHqg8S0Bw&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=interior-innerspace-image-link&cd=1&resnum=4&sqi=2&ved=0CAgQ2hQoADAD) as you can see the 100-year old interior of the store (click on the inset picture on the right under the map and it will zoom you all the way into the store where you can pan around). This is about 10 blocks from my apartment. Like something from a movie, yet surprisingly not at all touristy. Well, maybe a little on weekends but not at all during the week.

There's another couple similar places right around the corner from the other place and is great too. Where else can you buy wild boar sausage? Check out the list:

http://www.dangelobros.com/sausage.html

You know, my first apartment in NYC was right in Little Italy and I don't recall the food choices being as good as this Italian section of Philly. But I was only in my mid-20's at the time.

Clutch the pearls! A new, trendy/hip Southern/Cajun restaurant is opening up (http://philadelphia.foobooz.com/2012/02/23/rex-1516-to-bring-southern-cooking-to-south-street/) 10 blocks from me.

Comfort foods like stuffed pork roulade, crawfish pot-pie, seitan meatloaf and sweet potato mash are just a few of the anticipated dishes.

... sounds like they're trying to dial down the Paula Deen fat content, no? Seitan meatloaf? Pa-leez.

And before you Southern girls start to read, the chef is from 'Bama ::)

Yes, actually I ate it for this huge festival when I was in Sweden 25 fucking years ago when you were still in diapers. It's a big annual tradition there during part of August, and they consume large amounts of vodka chasers during the whole thing. You've not been around seriously drunk people until you're done this with Swedes. They're quite shocking.

I've also had langoustine in France but I think that's a slightly different species, though similar.

I'm fairly good about trying any type of food.

Dinner was Salad with Campari tomatoes (so sweet), hearts of palm, baby carrots, green olives and some lowfat cheese.

I will be having some Oikos yogurt for dessert in a bit.

All this after having Oatmeal and banana for breakfast and a protein shake for lunch.

I eat Fage and also Chobani, but my very favorite one is Icelandic siggi's (http://skyr.com/) (actually made in Brooklyn) -- Icelandic yogurt is similar to Greek, in that it's a strained yogurt, but Icelandic is even more concentrated and firm. It's harder to find it though as run-of-the-mill supermarkets don't carry it. You can find it at Whole Foods. Their pomegrantate/passion fruit flavor is the bestest of the best.

Hogwash!

First, we all have a 100% risk of death, so you can't really increase that. 
Second, if eating 3oz. of red meat a week truly caused one to die sooner, then we wouldn't have a whole of Americans living past the age of 30.

But it is perhaps the most yummie I have found. They have a wonderful strawberry rhubarb and a honey yogurt that is to die for.

Now, about those steaks - why did you burn them? You know if they don't moo when you bite into them, they are over done.

The retail locator function shows that a store has them on sale for $69 instead of the normal $99.

On another note I believe that after having two beers I deserve to walk over to El Jarocho and have pork tacos.

I don't think that's how that works.  You may be doing it wrong, or perhaps the beers justified the tacos.

Actually now I'm thinking of buying the Vibram FiveFingers (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/Five-Fingers-Flow-Mens.htm). Sure, they're ugly as shit but I figure they'd be really comfy to wear around the house in the summer.


EWWW! Not only are they ugly, but comfortable? Not with the individual toes. I remember when I was a kid and socks with toes were all the rage. I begged my mom to get me a pair and when she finally relented, I only wore them a few times. I hated the damn things. Drove me batshitinsane. (now you know...) She wouldn't buy me anything for ages afterwards - always reminding me about those damn socks.

Those fivefinger thingies look comfortable otherwise, except for the toes.

Yes, I'm iffy on the toe thing -- and of course they're horribly ugly which is why I'd only wear them in the house. The toe thing especially for me, because I may remind everyone that I've had hammertoes, so they've had incisions and aren't quite normal anymore. But I'll go try a pair on and see how they feel. I need something slipper-wise that I can put orthotics in, and the only slippers I currently have are winter ones with fake furry lining inside.

All of my other slippers have open backs, or whatever you call that, so the orthotics fall out when I walk around.

I was at a friends house and he plopped hs feet up on the table and had these black toe socks on. I remarked about them and he said he got them when he bought his Vibram shoes. So I qizzed him on the shoes and he said he doesnt really like them for jogging and only wears them now for working out at the gym. He also said the socks are about $10-$12 each so plan on buying a couple pair of those.

Anyways..

Blueberries are coming down now ...$2.75 for a container of them. So I am putting them in everything I can including my fat-free Oikos Greek yogurt.

No, it doesn't.  That might be enough to burn off a couple of onion rings (SRSLY though?  Those BK things are godawful).  At this rate you won't be able to seduce them twinks.

And truthfully, is there anything quite as delectable as several hours long congealed General Tso's chicken and a side of dried fried rice?

Plus there's a Domino's Pizza three blocks away where he can pick up dinner and reheat it later. But please make sure and hit the adjoining Dollar Store while waiting for your order.

Yes, I call it "cheap nachos" when I make them, but they're not as cheap as yours I guess :) I only will use white corn chips, freshly grated monterey jack chesse (preferably not studded with red pepper), and then I cut up the jalapeno slices smaller than what is in the jar. Layer in a pyrex dish and bake @ 300F. I'm sure you're a lazy fuck and microwave your nasty store-brand velveeta (a product not allowed in my house).

I think you could handle making them like I do, it's nothing difficult -- just buy slightly better ingredients. Really just the cheese -- a block of Monterey Jack is only $5 I think. I'm sure you paid $3.50 for that pre-shredded fake cheese. Then use white corn chips instead of those darker ones. For some reason I like cutting up the jalapenos because it spreads them to more bites but I guess that's subjective.

And never microwave them!

That is so unbelievably weird. If the urine imparts so many health benefits to the eggs, why not just dip a cup into the boys toilet and drink the piss from there? Cut out the middle man (egg). Gross.

fusilli con sugo di pomodoro e pancetta = fusilli with sugo I gave pomodoro and pancetta, according to http://www.freetranslation.com/ - if you first mistakenly think it's Spanish, as I did.

However, if you wise up and realise it's Italian, you get....

fusilli con sugo di pomodoro e pancetta = fusilli with juice of tomato and bacon.

'Scuse me missy, but I know what pancetta is and yes, it's available in shops here and I buy it now and then as a treat (it's quite tasty - but expensive - stuff imported direct from Italy).

Don't shoot the messenger. I was only reporting - verbatim - how freetranslation.com translated pancetta. The only part of your pretentious fancy-ass food description I was unsure of was sugo di pomodoro.

Yep, those are the ones. It doesn't matter how far up your ass the lesions are - when they are dealt with, most people end up with a sore ass due to the doctor sticking a camera and/or various surgical/medical instruments up there. Well, most people end up with a sore ass to some extent - although yours may be so used to foreign objects that it's just another day for you. :)

Moist toilet tissues or baby wipes are good for a sore ass, regardless of the cause.

Prattle indeed.

I do own and have used a food mill and I have had my anal cavity examined in a medical setting - although I didn't engage in both activities at the same time.

While I haven't had anal dysplasia, I have been internally examined for warts and I've had herpes in my nether regions for years - since back when you were probably forming your first crush in junior high. So don't pull the "lack of experience card" on me, Miss Pee Pee!

Woman offers sex for dollar-menu cheeseburgers (http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/04/03/2728952/woman-offers-sex-for-dollar-menu.html)

A woman was arrested in a prostitution sting — but not before she got two double cheeseburgers off the dollar menu at a McDonald’s.

Christine Faith Baker, 47, was walking on a Southwest Florida street last Friday when she was approached by a detective working in the Manatee County Sheriff Office’s special investigations division, according to a sheriff’s office report.

After the undercover detective invited Baker into his car and the talk turned to sex, she said her fee would be two double cheeseburgers from the dollar menu at McDonald’s, the report states.

The detective bought the burgers for $2.75 and then Baker told him that he could also tip her $40 for her services, according to the report. After Baker gave the detective directions to a vacant lot, Baker was arrested by other agents and charged with prostitution, the report states.

Baker was released from jail on Saturday, according to the sheriff’s office website.

Isn't that entrapment? I thought the sex worker had to approach the cop and offer sex for money up-front. Or is this another one of those Floridian laws like Stand Your Ground where who gives a fuck about justice?

Well, anyway, if it is the Rev as you postulate, I hope someone procures and delivers the bail money so that the Rev's emancipation may be attained in time for the Easter Egg Hunt. ;D

So, to my readers at large I must be emphatic that if you are an intense, snooty cheese lover that you attempt to located what has been my favorite cheese for past 3-4 months (not sure if I've mentioned it previously but whateves... tis one of those items that can't be discussed enough). It's kind of pricey but of such high quality it's worth it, and I've not known a single person to not rave about it once I turned them on to it.

It's called Harbison by Jasper Hills (http://www.cellarsatjasperhill.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102:harbison-by-jasper-hill-farm&catid=30:jasper-hill&Itemid=136), a creamery located in Greensboro, Vermont and a leader in the revival of artisan cheese making in the US. It's a 3-6 week aged pasteurized cow's milk, with a divine bark wrapped bloomy rind.

So everyone needs to locate this superlative cheese and treat your guests at a dinner party preferably paired with Weyerbacher Vergoten or Hair of the Dob Blue dot.

That's plantain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantain), a type of banana that is cooked (often fried), rather than eaten raw.

I was wondering what the purple stuff is in the upper left. It looks like pickled red cabbage with a cilantro leaf on top. Am I close?

I agree that it all looks delicious - including the fried egg on top of the arepa - but what is that black stuff on top of the egg? It looks a little too chunky to be pepper.

WOW  I know I couldn't eat all of that in one setting, I'd have to share that dish with someone else, that's a lotta FOOD on that plate  :o

PS: What's that veg that looks somewhere between a banana and a pineapple?

That's plantain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantain), a type of banana that is cooked (often fried), rather than eaten raw.

I was wondering what the purple stuff is in the upper left. It looks like pickled red cabbage with a cilantro leaf on top. Am I close?


Ann is correct, the traditional dish includes fried maduros (sweet plantains).  In this case, since it is a more refined (i.e. not so authentic) version of the dish they actually used fried yucca.

The purple stuff in this pictar is red cabbage indeed (with some beets quite likely).  And Space, as a good connoisseur of spicy delights, you would love the green stuff on the side called ají picante (made with peppers, onions, chilies, and a few other things).

The "real" version of this dish includes rice, morcilla (blood sausage), two versions of meat (steak and ground beef), and a big slice of avocado.  You top it off with a big bowl of mazamorra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazamorra) con bocadillo (guava paste) for dessert.  Once you finish this 6000 calorie fest you either sleep a big siesta, dance it off, or perhaps have a heart attack (if you're an out of shape Gringa). 

Here's a pic of one that's more authentic...

Dennis, it is all one meal.  I've never seen anyone sharing  :). And, interestingly enough you rarely ever see many overweight colombianas (Sofia Vergara and Shakira claim to love this stuff).  Of course, you only eat it on special occasions, otherwise you end as fit as up a Wumpette.

I thought it might be. You can get pickled cabbage here that has been coloured with beetroot and usually has a few pieces of beetroot in amongst the cabbage, but it's primarily shredded cabbage.

Do I get extra points for identifying the cilantro? If not, I'll just go off into the corner and cry quietly for a moment.

The "real" version of the dish looks yummy too - except for the blood sausage. It's called black pudding here and I just can't stomach it. I suppose it's one of those foods that you have to be brought up with to appreciate.

I don't really mind it.  I've only tried it maybe 2-3 times in my life.

Well you have to cut the sweetness with a lime and a dash of vanilla. mmm-mmmm.

but like I saidd I dont drink the sweet tea everyday. Normally I just boil water on the stove and pour it over 3 Luzziane tea bags in a pitcer and pour it over ice plain, no sugar. I drink that all day long.

One of the joys of being back home in the South (besides the sun, warmth and little-to-no snow) is that tea actually comes sweetened in the restaurants. I'm sorry but adding sugar into cold tea when it arrives at the table just isn't the same thing at all.

Oh woman PLEASE! White Peony Iced Tea? Silly Yank, "Iced Tea" refers to Lipton or Luzziane Tea bags  in a pitcher with boiled water poured over them, steeped for 10 minutes, then poured over ice in a big clear glass, then chugged not sipped, and no pinkies sticking out, you grab that bitch with your whole hand.

You remind me of the time I was in Japan and ordered Iced Tea in the hotel restaraunt...they brought me hot tea with a side cup of ice  ::)

Travel + Leisure Ranks Philadelphia #2 in Burgers (http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-best-burger-cities/3)

Take that, bitches!

Voters may associate the historic city with other comfort foods like cheesesteaks and pizza but it made a huge jump this year with its burgers, up from last year’s No. 22 ranking. Perhaps some thanks is due to celebrity chef Jose Garces, who tops his eight-ounce Angus burgers at Village Whiskey, off Rittenhouse Square, with maple bourbon–glazed cipollini, Rogue blue cheese, or foie gras. New restaurant Hickory Lane is also getting raves for its burger, a blend of filet mignon, short ribs, and brisket.

I've been to the Village Whiskey (http://www.villagewhiskey.com/menu.html) but only for drinks, as this burger costs $26 :( plus $5 for "duck fat" fries

That cream corn looks simply vile, like baby vomit. Is cream corn different than corn pudding? I only know the latter because it's made at our house at Thanksgiving, in homage to our "fake" Southern roots.

And that's not faux cheesecake -- I think it's faux banana cream. Cheesecake is far too Yankee-ish to be served in a hospice down there.

ps: I've now located Paramount Nursing home on google maps and can wave hello :) I swear it's surrounded by rather odd scrubland. Is that the way everything looks down there?

If you go up the road and take a left you'll find Mama Lee's Soul Food. Why don't you pick something up there to take back to Paramount for you mother to eat in her room with you. She'll appreciate the thought. (The smothered pork chop with steamed rice and sweet corn is what I would order! and a dessert of banana pudding)

Ok, here's my check in....Fuck off. 

But for realz, I had to cancel my appt last week  because I didnt get my labs taken in time (actually, I didnt get labs taken at all). So my appt is rescheduled for July 6th or something. I'm getting as bad as Trey arent I.

I still think I should get a pass on my lipid results till next quarter due to the shitty diet I have been eating (of course because of mom), oh and also the fact that I stopped taking Fish oil because I am afraid of it.

Babs please. Ground Sirloin and scratch gravy, I use the drippings from the burger then add flower and hot water all the while whisking, yo ahve to whisk continuously or else your screwed, also add a bit of milk and whisk for about 5 minutes, adding flour or water as needed.  *Heaven from a pan*

Which, given you diet, might actually provided some lower results..........   :-*

I soon found myself in the produce section and after picking up some Valencia Oranges I came across these Apples from New Zealand. Jan is from NZ and she is jsut about the sweetest thing around so I figure these NZ Apples have to be almost as sweet, picked up 2.

OH LOOK! Mexican Coke is on sale, the Mexicans dont screw around with their coke and make it with real sugar not that high fructose corn syrup you get in the states, they also bottle it in thick glass bottles that have made the rounds for 10 years.. I had to pass on these, AMG is in less than a month and I need to be able to fit into my speedo.

I did have to get a pack of Frostie Root Beers, no way could I pas that up. Also next to the Frostie is some Drunk Goat Cheese...that is Goat cheese soaked in red wine. LOVELY! Will go great with my New Zealand Apples...

Remind what the point of fussing over lipid levels are if you're going to go out and gorge on both chicken fried steak and a burger all in the same fucking day? Why don't you just take some Texas crude and stick in an enema every morning?

Do you ever even eat fish? I don't think the subject has come up once over the course of 17 pages of this thread.

I'm sure there was probably something to eat Saturday evening, but I've offically blocked it out.   :o

I do try to watch my diet.  Obviously I blew that in DC (why do you think I had my tests done *before* AMG?).  Exercise helps -- that's the biggest change I can think of since my last lipid panel.  I also think I have good genetics on my Dad's side of the family (from Italy -- Rome), and my doc says that can make a big difference.

At some point I will inherit a very fussy collection of +100 year old china, all enclosed in a rather fierce roll-top secretary/armoire desk.

However, my personal taste is more iittala. But not the fussy iittala, the simple modernist lines like Teema and Kartia. Their Teema line is now 60 years old -- IS THAT FUCKING VINTAGE?

I have a set of 8 extra large dinner plates (simple, white) that are so large I can't close the cabinet door either. So don't think you're special for one minute. And while I can't claim that they were from a dollar store, they are not "label specific" dishes.

Everything else though is iittala :) one coffee cup and saucer will set you back $50. Ah, the things I miss from my days being employed :(

Trust, not as well made -- my ex-roomie in NYC has that Ikea white stuff and while it's OK, it's not as high quality as iittala. You folks will just have to trust me with iittala.

And also don't get me started on the necessities of owning the complete Stelton Cylinda line coffee and tea set in stainless steel or Goran Höngell glassware.

You all should try eating more veggies.  Special thanks to Henry for sharing how simply he cooks corn on the cob.  I tried the old microwave for 3 minutes thingy with the husk on and it turned out fabulous.

I read on-line from a woman who freezes it in the husks and also microwaves it for 5 minutes with excellent results.  I froze an ear yesterday and was totally happy with the results.

So while in Virginia I ate like a king. We went to an all you can eat Seafood restaurant called the Mad Crab, you pay $42 and you can have anything on the menu, as much as you want. I started off with King crab, Blue crab and skrimps. This place was amazing, you dont even have to ask for refills, they just keep brining you shit nonstop. Everytime I came up for air the guy was throwing more crab legs on my plate. I never thought I would ever use the words "STOP bringing me shit" in a restaurant, but I did that night. After I got the waiter to stop with the crab legs I moved on to fried oysters and fried scallops. Had a plate full of those. then downed a half dozen oysters on the half shell. Never made it to the basket of fries and hushpuppies.  I "went big that night" (I thought about you JEff). I shit crab for 2 days. I'm seriously thinking about making a another trip up there in the next month or so just to go to that place again.

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/crab-1.jpg)

While at Tina's I was served Prime Rib with an amazing Au Jus and homemade creamy horseraddish sauce. I've never had a better piece of meat, it melted in my mouth. What you cant tell from the pic is that it was about 3inches thick. Yes, I ate it all, but I never made it over to the potato and green beans.

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/prime.jpg)

Also, a curious observation on DC Chili-dogs...while Wolfter and I were hiking the National Mall I stopped and ordered a "carousel dog" from one of the vendors there.   HAd no idea what it was, but due to the price it looked like it was the best dog on the menu. What I got was a Chili dog with creamy mayo based coleslaw on the top. Weird shit... never heard of that. Not bad though, I ate every bit of it.

Another observation was the Bloody MArys, They are all rimmed with Old Bay Seasoning. *like*

When you enter the shops area it is a couple of shops down on the right across from Le Village Buffet.

We had one of the best buffets experiences ever today-- brunch at The Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. The service was excellent, more like a nice full service restaurant than a buffet. The food was not only interesting but perfectly prepared and cleverly presented. It is tapas style and the chicken wings were served in a tiny little fryer basket, the Chinese dishes in little take out containers, the pasta in tiny sauce pans, etc. There was a huge selection and I had seared salmon with basil and corn succotash, "angry" mac and cheese, asparagus salad with red wine vinaigrette and egg, roasted corn on the cobb with some unusual seasoning. Everything was fresh and interesting. For dessert I had huge strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and mango gelato. It was $22 and included champaign, which I thought was very fair considering the quality of the food.

Speaking of tacos, here is a taco plate I had Sunday afternoon.  So delicious!  And no sour cream (too overpowering).  What's not apparent in the photos are the homemade tortillas, which really make the difference, as well as the seasoning on the chicken.  I'll leave the arguments on "authenticity" to others.  For the record, I had the leftovers for dinner.

1) it has cheese, and it looks like American cheese(food) no less. Mexicans eat queso blanco or queso fresco which are creamy, soft and mile unaged cheeses. But not in a taco, in a proper quesadilla.

2) the addition of lettuce and (plain) tomato isn't authentic either, though tomatoes may be used if in a pico de gallo sauce.

3) refried beans and rice is Tex-Mex, not Mexican (unless you consider the south bank of the Rio Grande to be very Mexican).

4) corn or wheat flour tortilla? are those fried? DISCUSS!

Authentic dictates a soft, heated corn tortilla filled with seasoned meat, with onions, lime juice topped with pico de gallo or salsa verde, topped with fresh chopped cilantro and garnished with sliced radish, cucumber slices or a grilled cambray onion. That thing below is like two steps away from a Taco Hell window.

Given your reaction, I'm sure you'll be equally horrified that I had a Lone Star beer with these tacos.

Actually, my first mother-in-law, who was 100% Mexican, used to make her own tortillas and refried beans.  The tortillas were flour.  They were eaten 3 weeks out of the month; the one week they were not eaten was when she would get her food stamps and buy meat.

Nevertheless, this Mexican family did eat refried beans and flour tortillas.
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: Miss Philicia on August 23, 2012, 08:56:54 am
Betty, do you know which state in Mexico she was raised in? Flour tortillas and refried beans are common in the less populated states along the border but not in the "heartland" of Mexico. This explains the difference between Tex-Mex cuisine and items more common to larger groups of Mexicans -- and something like a burrito is actually derived from food eaten by the Puebloan people in land that doesn't belong to Mexico now, but was previously.

Wheat was brought over by Spain, it's not native to the Americas like corn is, and corn was always the central crop to native peoples and why tortillas were made from this.

So I'm not saying that these things aren't consumed in Mexico, it's just that they're only common in the border states. It's like a Canadian thinking Mexican cuisine is what is found in North Dakota. Go to Mexico City and you won't be eating a burrito with refried beans. You're likely to encounter chicken in a red mole poblano sauce. Now tell me how often one finds that in a restaurant in the US?

OMG, I grew up in Honky tonks listening to that song, drinking my "Roy Rogers" and eating peanuts while watching my mom and dad dance to that. I too danced many a 2 step to that song at the SPJST's, VFW's and Texas Chilympiad's. George Strait covered it and sang it at his concerts as well.  Ah good mems. I think they even played it a time or 2 at Rainbow Cattle Company.

Also didnt Red Steagall sing "Convoy"?

As for Lone Star beer, you aint truly Texan until you've had an iced cold Lone Star down ya! Love it.

Philly, she was born along the border, so maybe that's the reason why they continually ate that.  When her son, my first husband, and I lived together, he would once in a while go to his mom's to eat.  She showed me how to make them, of course this was like 26 years ago.  I remember her putting a very large amount of lard in her refried beans.  And being raised Seventh-Day, I wasn't familiar at all regarding cooking with lard.  I thought it was pretty gross.

My mother-in-law spoke very, very broken English.  When she would get her food stamps, and this was back when they were using paper "dollars," I would have to accompany her, as she didn't understand the total the cashier told her, or the concept of how much to give the cashier.

This is for the Slacker Texas Taco habitués -- an authentic taco, not something that looks like it came out of Old El Paso box (if it lacks lime and cilantro, and uses cheese, lettuce and raw tomato it's a deal breaker).

And yes this was the dinner I just ate. You should have seen the hot, muscular Italian Philly police officer that came in as I was paying.

As far as the Cow eye tacos ang goat head (cabrito Cabesa), I can get those down at the corner out of the back of a food truck. Corn fungus I dunno.

after getting lost from the Metro and trying to find the Hotel, after flying all-day-long...so, I didn't care much for the food, but they did have a fully-stocked -bar  :P

My first stop in Paris was to a McDonald's.  Wumpy would have been proud.  Though in my defense, it was just dead tired and couldn't manage the time and effort of finding an actual restaurant.  I mean the french do all that loooooooong dining stuff (which I love if I have the time).  Here in America, they kind of expect you to move it pretty soon after you're done.

And I don't particulary care for salad bar salads.  Iceburg lettuce sucks.  I like spinach and stuff.  And speaking off veggies...all this talk of cow eyes and goat brains and raccoon butt or whatever the hell else is making me seriously consider going vegetarian again.  I don't eat all that much meat anyway, but I certainly don't get very exotic about it.  I gave up all red meat for about eight years in the 90's.  I looked ever so sleek and lost all body odor for some reason.  I could sweat and not stink at all.  Lost 8 lbs the first month off meat with no other changes.  Then one year on the 4th of July, I smelled the aroma of beef.  I heard the call of the grill.  I decided to try a burger once again.

I ate three.

Clearly us Texans have run out of things to deep-fry at the State Fair.... so we decided to start deep frying our cactus. I think we peaked a couple years ago when we were frying Peanut butter and Twinkies.

Chicken Fried Cactus Bites – Fairgoers will stick with these hand-picked prickly pear cactus pads, thinly sliced, chicken battered and deep fried to perfection. Served with a combination of sweet & spicy secret jalapeno ranch, and agave nectar dipping sauce.

By "fried squash," you mean fried zucchini, correct?  I've not heard of any other kind. 
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: Miss Philicia on September 11, 2012, 01:26:41 pm
Zucchini is a type of squash. What Americans call squash is technically "yellow summer squash" or "straightneck squash", or simply one of innumerable types of squash. They're both in the cucurbita pepo sub-species of the larger squash family.

Aside from that I don't know why one couldn't fry both kinds -- do you really find they taste that different? At most zucchini has a less pronounced flavor.

Growing up in the South (as I did I may remind all of you) my family never over-did it with fried foot. IIRC we only ate fried chicken on Sundays, and probably only once monthly. And it wasn't deep fried, it was fried in a skillet lightly dredged, not with some overwhelming batter coating.

I think my mother and grandmother cooked squash in the skillet with onions, not fried ever but simmered in stock perhaps. Not so sure as it wasn't my favorite thing to eat as a kid. Vegetables in the South are always limp and overcooked. Nasty, especially the green beans which I can't eat to this day.

Oh, and we never ate chicken-fried steak. The closest thing was pork chops with gravy.

Miss P , if your grandma cooked squash in a skillet with onion it was most likely fried squash . It doesn't take much oil to fry squash because the water content is so high already in that vegetable . I make wonderful crispy fried squash and its not that greasy .

I almost choked my buddy once for adding water to my squash I was making , it ruins it .

I did use olive oil last time I made squash , its very good that way . It only takes a few tablespoons of oil to do it right . I fried some for friends last New Years and one of them balked at eating it because he mistook the moisture for grease , once his bf who watched me make it told him how it was done he ate it up and asked for more . He is Canadian and a doctor and hates greasy southern food and what it does to his patients .

Yes, I'm aware zucchini is squash.  I've just never had any other kind of "fried squash."  I do find zucchini tastes different than say, buttercup.  I will grill zucchini, but am not fond of other types of grilled squash.  I just baked one last weekend (acorn), but with real butter, a little brown sugar, and honey.  It was alright, but I'm not a big fan of squash. 
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: mecch on September 12, 2012, 12:23:05 pm
Over the year there must be at least 2 dozen kinds of squash in the market at different times. Some squash has a slime factor I don't enjoy unless its really sauced. Most summer squashes I prefer in sauce or ratatouille or perfectly fried and crisp. Or cakes. Zucchini cake is pretty delish but I guess I prefer carrot.
My italian neighbors always made tons of fried zucchini flowers, they were great.

I don't know how summer squashes can hold up if cut, bagged and refrigerated, it must be pretty dried up. All the juices must be removed before packaging.

I will buy these veges precut:  julienned celery root, diced cooked beets, and sometimes the mixed vege cubes - I think they are intended for soup but i just fry em with whatever is for dinner. 

I go in and out on precut lettuce/salad mixes.  Depends on my energy and commitment.

Was really missing my mom today, as today would have been her 68th birthday  :'(

We had a routine on her birthday, I would take her to her favorite restaraunt and then afterwards go get some scratch -offs  :P

So why should I stop all that??

So I went and gorged myself on Mexican food and margaritas! Had a #1 plate , Enchilada, 2 Tamales (Missp wouldnt even know what a properTamale is) Crispy beef Tacos and rice and beans.

Oh, and a BIG AS YO FACE Margarita (rocks with salt please)
(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/teka.jpg)

2 shots of Lunazul Blanco Tequila in this bad boy (why not?)
(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/teka1.jpg)

After all was said and done, I was feeling much better about everything...
(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/teka2.jpg)

Went and got $10 worth of scratch offs and didnt win a damn thing but it was worth every cent!

I only eat fried chicken maybe twice a year -- I just had the best of my entire life. It's Korean-style, double fried with a coating of green chile, dried fennel and sumac. There are no sides, just the chicken and a little container of seasoned small pickle pieces.

(http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af197/bedstuy65/622028_10151483958133266_481023488_o_zpsd2b8a15d.jpg)

They also make the most amazing donuts in the world -- I had vanilla-lavender and Turkish mocha! :P I had to get there at 11 AM to ensure my order.

Speaking of cocks,

I told Missp earlier that I was going out for some Ribs, but I decided to get the Sausage and brisket...

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/bbq-1.jpg)

and really what good is a BBQ joint if there are not old hubcaps at your table...

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/bbq1.jpg)

To be a true BBQ joint it is necessary to see an open wood fire somehwere on the premises.. Extra credit if there is a 4x4 pickup with mud on the fender (note pic),

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/bbq2.jpg)


and before you wannabe's start clucking about pulled pork remember everyone knows Texas is the undisputed king of BBQ, and the best BBQ place * on this planet is in  Lockhart  (http://www.blacksbbq.com/default.aspx) ...we leave the pulled pork to you unwashed heathens

* the  Saltlick  (http://www.saltlickbbq.com/pages/Driftwood.html) is a very close second.

They actually have three choices: steak, chicken, and veggie.  Surprisingly, they are pretty good and quite filling.  In fact, I had the chicken one for lunch today (after trying the steak) the day I posted about it here for you.  I liked the beef one better as it seems to mix better with the cilantro infused sauce on my taste buds.

But don't get too jazzed over it as Philicia will never speak to you again once it gets out that you sampled one.

On the food front, my mother returned from Portland and was a tad startled by my weight loss.  She went to the store and returned with an entire pound of maple nuts.  I'm not typically a sugar person, but they are my absolute weakness.  I ate the entire thing in 2 days.  That is exactly why I don't buy them.

We trick or treated in the 60's and 70's.  Was it the early 70's all those scare stories started.  We were in a standard, stable, middle middle class track housing suburb. My mom never policed our haul, not once.  I think we sometimes self edited after those rumors. "You going to eat that apple, Bobby, there might be a RAZOR in it!"  There were always a few kids who like stuff you didn't like. THere were always weird families who gave out weird homemade treats and some of us like it and some didn't.  I liked popcorn balls usually. Getting a candy apple or two was always welcome. One lady wrapped hers, they were more convenient - thrown in the pillow case with the rest. We would trade candy to get what we wanted.  I saw 4 german kids doing this with a huge pile of Carnival candy in Cologne.

I was too old for trick or treating when the adults started to get all difficult and complicated and involved and PC or righteous and basically Type A anal control freaks about too much.  THey would designate an "official trick or treat night" that was sometimes NOT Halloween.  Fools. Cause those years, the young ones would go out on both nights.  And people who were NOT control freak adults would give candy on both nights, because how could you refuse a kid who knocks on your door on the actual halloween.

They tried to fuck with "mischief night" as well.

Let it be said, I am 100% against Home Schooling, logical culmination of control freak parents (who act like bratty babies) and dont let their children explore.

Perhaps we were in the wrong part of Philly, but I hated it.  Bill only allowed me to drive for about 10 minutes because I kept running traffics lights.  They were on poles on the side of the roads instead of overhead.  They blended in with all the other lights.

Once we got the apartment that the hospital rented for us, I thought I would be able to relax.  Within 5 minutes I spotted a huge roach and did the age appropriate, drama queen screech and declared we were leaving.  I never returned.

Maybe you were going to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and they they put you up in slummy West Philly? It's a great hospital but I'd not want to reside around it, at least not north of it. South is fine as that's the University of PA which is an Ivy League institution. Why did you have to come all the way here in the first place?

Why did you have to come all the way here in the first place?

Bill was charged with implementing a perpetual inventory system for the medical supplies department.  They expected it'd take about 3 months.  At the time, I worked 4 , 10 hour days which would allow me to come for long weekends.  It was decided that instead, he'd just come home every other weekend. 

Not sure what medical facility/hospital it was, but I'm sure it was pretty close to the west side.  It was kinda scary looking, but then again, any city is if you're from the hills. ;D

I think they will change that early next spring for the Flower Show (http://www.theflowershow.com/home/index.html). Evidently the theme this year is British. The Flower Show is a super Big Deal here, supposedly the largest of its kind in the world and almost 200 years old. I just avoid going downtown that week it's so out of control.

Lame girl, lame. A cannoli must be fresh, and by that I mean specifically the ricotta filling because otherwise it makes the pastry shell soggy! So it's all about an old school shop that only fills the shell per order, like the one I went to.

I only noticed because I noticed his nasty "Nobama" crap in the right-hand side-bar (which he posted back in '08 on election day) and I had to see if he was still of the same mind-set, or if he had abandoned his blog due to lack of real things to complain about where Obama is concerned. But no, he's one rabid ... individual. I'm trying to play nice and not post the real words I'm thinking. People like him scare the shit out of me.

No worries, sweetie. If it wasn't that particular link, it would have been another. I can't remember ever being so worked up about an upcoming election - not even the 1980 election that gave us Reagan. I was out every day on the KSU campus taking part in protests during the election lead-up that year and I thought I was as pissed off then as I ever could be where politics are concerned - boy was I wrong. This election is pissing me off and scaring me in pretty much equal measures and I'd have to lock my laptop in a safe along with my telly and radio and not buy newspapers to avoid shit that gets my blood going where this is concerned. But hell, it's nearly as good as a cardiovascular workout. ;D

I'm with you 100% on this , completely frazzled by this election . I keep telling myself in an attempt to calm myself that a progressive president wont be in office forever but you have read my rants on here about health care in America . I feel that if President Obama can get 4 more years and allow some of benefits of the health care reform to take place perhaps the next republican will not want to repeal whats now popular . I almost hyperventilate at the thought of Romney and Ryan in office .

Yep , they are real . I just got a letter today with the lab results . The doctor commented that she was expecting improvement and I openly mocked her for saying it . It was my belief that since I had given up trying to eat better and was on the same meds for years it would be far worse .

Where do you get this idea that I have a "new" accent? People I know often comment that they're amazed that I've retained my American accent despite being here over twenty years. Now my daughter is another matter. She sounds like a proper little Govic (someone from Peel), but she's been here since she was four. She lost her American accent when she started school.

We have a McDonalds and a KFC here on the Rock, as well as several Subway outlets. While this wasn't true 21 years ago when I first moved here, they did have all the major American fast-food places over in the UK at that time. For the record, I occasionally have a sub, but I never go to the other two places. Ick. Too much grease and cardboard fries.

And yeah, Miss PeePee is right - the Rock Ellan Vannin is in the middle of the Irish Sea, not the North Atlantic. Duh. She even got the Manx Gaelic correct - I guess google is her friend. ;D

Whatever. If my accent has changed it wasn't through a conscious effort on my part. Unlike Madonna.

Besides, you don't actually know if it has changed or not, you never heard me talk before I lived over here and come to think of it, we haven't talked in several years - perhaps your memory is at fault.

Hell, I can't even imitate any type of British accent. Whenever I try, my mates roll their eyes and tell me to give it up.

Maybe you're confusing the use of British turns of phrase with an accent. Try harder, darling.

At least I don't sound like Truman Capote, unlike some I could mention.

As far as my lipid panel, only my triglycerides are of any note. My HDL number is only off by 1 so that's a non-issue, and my total cholesterol number is great. After being on HIV meds for 19 years and 4 months I'd say that's not bad.

My HIV is very international -- I have several strains from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic as well as one each from Mexico and Brazil, and then there's that one that had a Santeria hex from the South Bronx in 1994, along with a live chicken.

I was also gang-banged by eight black men in Judy Garland Park after consuming a #2 White Castle combo and six vodka and sodas. There's now a plaque on a tree commemorating that evening. And I lost count of how many time I lost my apartment keys in a stall at The Bijoux in the East Village. At least they provide free Oreo cookies at the bar.

I mentioned all this to my daughter earlier tonight - she said "that's a hoot! - obviously Miss PeePee never heard your attempts at a Scouse, Scottish, Black Country or East End accent - hilarious!"

You have always been very coherent when we speak , even when you called me after your surgery you did OK . I have to repeat myself for you when you are hanging out the window smoking a cigarette , more so if you are hanging out the window smoking a cigarette and getting dived bombed by bats . You were a wee bit hysterical that night .

Fage (http://www.fageusa.com/) > Dannon

siggi (http://www.skyr.com/) trumps all

POMEGRANATE & PASSION FRUIT (http://www.skyr.com/skyr.html#) siggi trumps all other siggi flavors

And if you mix siggi plain with your bowl of Purely Elizabeth Pumpkin Fig Ancient Grain Granola (http://www.purelyelizabeth.com/PumpkinFigAncientGrainGranolaCereal.htm) you might very well earn 23 gay merit points. I mean really, how often do you find amaranth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_grain) as an ingredient in something?

NOT bad at all....I went out for Margarita's and when I went to order Marg#2, she brought me a Modello Especial to try (for free since I am their best customer).

It's kind of like a Corona but much smoother. needs a lime squeezed in it for sure.

Since this is the food thread, I will mention that my mother asked if I was gonna be around tomorrrow.  I asked why and she said she'd make some home made southern noodles and dumplings.  I didn't even eat this evening in anticipation.  She cooks like once a year, but it sure is good when she does.

So what does tartar taste like? HAs anyone had it like it's shown above? Is it the seasoning that gives it the taste?

And yes, the capers in tartare are key to the taste, but so is the high quality of the beef used.

Never had a bloody steak?  Raw beef tastes pretty good all depends on the quality of the beef just like lots of raw animals.
You eat raw seafood?
Raw fish - sashimi?  Go to a really authentic sushi/sashimi house and you might find beef or horse sashimi. Ive never seen it in Western restaurant in fact but had it at catered affairs.  But in Japan they have it.

Every KIND of food has its appeal and time and place.  I only started to at least try everything when i read Margaret Mead of all people in my teens and she made me feel unsatisfied with the typical suburban white people diet I grew up on.  Cause she wrote about how anthropologists usually have to try to choke down any disgusting shit when they did field work. That was all very early and mid century.   As was my diet in the white suburbs!  Geez for me it was exotic to go eat a jewish friend's house.  I used to rolf at the idea of smoke salmon or gefilte fish.  I can not remember once my family going out to even a chinese restaurant!!!!

Luckily most of us around the world now have so much choice....

I cannot lie, I am going to miss the Ding Dongs terribly. :'(  So chocolately, so creamy. I love to squeeze it until the white filling shoots out:

But seeing as how you have such adventurous tastes, may I suggest you try one of these:

My Miss Lily is a fan of everything.  Especially when cats shit in our yard.  About twice a year she coats her beautiful fur in it. 

I wish I could have captured the stuff my mountain family and friends ate.  Then my mom's 2nd husband was a 2nd generation Italian.  I never knew what was boiling in hot salty water.   ;D

Rosenthal made exact replicas of this typical german paper plate for sausage, in porcelain.  And also exact replicas of this plastic water cooler cup, in a sort of thin pyrex glass.

(http://www.regalzone.com/upload/products/TUMBLERS/7oz%20clear%20water%20cup.jpg)

an ex made off with the plates.  I like mixing gin and tonics for guests in the cups cause I can often see a flash of "WTF he's serving drinks in plastic cups" before everyone smiles about what they really are.

It must have been a very limited series because I've never seen them again. Found them in a Rosenthal outlet deep in the mountains that only lasted a couple of years. 

Usually I actively dislike Swiss and German porcelain, which is piled up in most thrift and "antique" shops in these parts, but they do nice gold and white classics sometimes. 

I got rid of all my English china a few years ago. Kept only classic simple English teapots. 

There is some 100 year old, and even mid-century, extremely psychedelic Swiss majolica that I covet and I stumble over it only 1 or 2 a year for a few francs.   One time I found a mother lode in Biel but the lady knew its worth so it was unaffordable.

here's one for 50 bucks on Etsy. and its damaged!

I don't have a dishwasher either but I'd never, EVER, have a paper plate in my house. Much less a plastic cup. I mean seriously, it's so atrocious I have a hard time even expressing my disdain on the matter.

I used to have a set of these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-10-Arrowhead-RETRO-Ever-Ware-Melamine-Melmac-9-Divided-Cafeteria-Plates-/230711588887?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b77b7817&autorefresh=true) not in melamine, but white china, that I used use for garden parties.

That might make me sad to eat off everyday but it would be fun at a drag dinner.

In my family from the 70's on, breakfast or lunch requiring plates was mostly on paper.  Only dinner was on "real" plates and some of those sets burned my delicate gay teenage retinas...

So plain white paper plates were a relief.

At least my mom had decent taste in drapes.  Or is it curtains. 

She even bought me florescent green plastic aligator skin curtains for my bedroom.  I can't remember where we found those. Monkey Wards?   Wards knocked off a lot of swinging mod designs.   They had lots of knockoff Saarinen.

Actually that large white plate is neither vintage nor particularly expensive. The other stuff is though, but not exorbitantly.

If you drive a Mercedes you shouldn't be so fucking cheap. No twink likes a cheap fag date with shrunken balls and a needle dick. Much less one that eats copious amounts of fake tacos from a drive through.

Of course, since they all seem to easily steal your wallet on a monthly basis I suppose you have no choice but to use paper plates and plastic cups. Maybe that's Meech's issue too. I see a cute marriage between you two in the future.

Ok haterz.

I had 2 eggs left so I went ahead and fried them up for dinner, along with some thick cut bacon and my soon-to-be world famous breakfast potatoes seasoned with Thyme and Lemon Pepper...

And it is Saturday night so I went ahead and stepped it up and used the Leftover Thanksgiving Paper plates  ;) Yes, that is a picture of a Turkey on the plate.

Extra credit- That's a TV tray, and I ate shirtless with shorts and socks on in front of the TV.

You're welcome.

I want one. This is just a miniature 2 ft. tree that I have on my desk. Normally I shun Christmas decor, but my mother shoved it at me at Thanksgiving because she knows I've always wanted a vintage aluminum one. They're expensive if in pristine condition and original box. And yes, a rotating color wheel is simply a must. One day I will procure such things, but I don't have a lot of storage space in my tiny penthouse pied-a-terre.

That hot Jew Bourdain is eating with is the owner of my hipster heaven that makes that double-fried Korean chicken and donuts, though his main place is much more upscale and shown (for a brief second) in this clip.

By the way, this is why Texas isn't really Southern -- no Southerner has tamales for Christmas. I've only ever considered East Texas as resembling anything Southern. Are you telling me they even eat tamales all the way up to the border of Arkansas?

And whatever it is you're eating down there rest assured it's partially fake and not actually eaten anywhere 75 miles deeper past the Mexican border (http://www.tmz.com/2012/12/04/boy-george-mexicans-twitter-ban/).

I don't know what draws people to this place cause the food is bland and there's nothing that I've had that drew me to keep coming here.  I gave it a couple of different chances and I just don't dig it at all.  The prices are cheap and yeah, your food comes out fairly quickly but I guess I'm just not getting it.

...

This is one of those hole-in-the-wall Mexican joints.  The interior is decorated with junk from when they opened back in the 70's and the seats are covered in that plastic stuff that old Jewish women use to wrap their couches.

...

This used to be a pretty good restaurant, but having eaten there this evening after having been away for several months, I was grossly disappointed.  The enchiladas and tortillas were dry, despite the amount of sauce I attempted to soak them in.  The puffy taco was salty, but the flauta wasn't too bad.

I won't be frequenting this establishment much anymore.

I'm sure you must have eaten at StarBurger in Liberty Hill when you lived there.  Sadly, this iconic building has burned down, never to be seen again.

Did you NOT get the memo?  Some of us can get those damn bells all year round so what the hell is this limited shit?  If you lived in a real city you could get some anytime you wanted to as well ::)  Maybe Philicia, The Rev, and me will take up a collection to send you a care package.

I use real butter for a lot of stuff. On my toast I use spray butter, but for recipes I rarely if ever use anything but butter. My exception is making cookies. I actually did an experiment one year and made three batches of cookies - one with shortening, one with margarine, and one with butter. The shortening ones came out the best, but the margarine ones were better, IMHO, than the butter ones. It was ultimately a texture thing.

I questioned this, and she elaborated that it's because "THEY DON'T SERVE MARGARITAS." What a plebeian beverage selection.

Scrambled eggs, made with spray butter to grease the pan, do not give me the horrible egg burps that boiled eggs do. It's rare that I can tolerate a boiled egg, much less a horrific deviled one.

How is scrambling an egg drastically worse than boiling one? I couldn't imagine eating a boiled egg without plenty of salt and pepper, moreso than used on a scrambled egg.

Once in a great while I enjoy a cobb salad. But almost every time, the eggs render me un-kissable for a whole day.

How about moderation? Half a pat of butter instead of a whole one. Salting to taste after cooking instead of during.

If you get a mediocre mojito it can be simply repugnant.  If the mint taste was too overwhelming then the person didn't know how to make it.   Was it made by an Egyptian, Armenian, or some other non-Caribbean national?

Their chili is so good, is practically made me cry.  None of the other sissies I went with was willing to try that "XXX" strength chili. ;)

That's just vulgar. 

I was gonna provide some pictures of my latest experience.  We went for breakfast yesterday as I forgot to eat this weekend.  I think I got a touch of food poisoning as I got sicker than hell last night.  I thought at first it was a bout of the flu, but it disipated after several hours.  I went from continually freezing to sweating profusely.  Perhaps it was an immune response to the flu virus even though I got the shot?

Oh I HATE you ;)

I'm ashamed to say I've only been there once. I must go again!!

Have you ever had the XXX? (chili)
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: Miss Philicia on December 24, 2012, 11:10:14 am

I'm ashamed to say I've only been there once.

That's due to the fact that there's a distinct absence of Egyptians cooking the chili.

Although I'm sure it's old hat now, I've just discovered Man Vs Food.
Damn you yanks have some damn fine places to eat!

Hope I can make it to the states one day (I'm from London), I need to eat some of this shit!

When I watch it, Miss P and Wumpy come to mind. If I needed a good recommendation I'm sure I could call on u guys if I ever make to the USA.

I'd probably trust Miss P's judgment more though.

Anyway just to let u guys and girls here know how much I value this forum. I have barely posted anything but have been reading these forums for a couple of years.

I swear it is thanks to you guys that I found a way out the darkness post diagnosis, and that I am now cautiously optimistic about the future.

I wish you all a Happy New Year.

2012 ended with misery.
I ate leftovers for lunch yesterday that might have been a titch too old and got sick.
Also had/have a sinus infection, strepp throat, and went to bed with a migraine and no dinner. :(
Tummy is at least better today.
Just had a small slice of home made sausage w/pistachios, a steamed egg, and tomato with a drizzle of Compagnia Del Montale balsamic vinegar. Yum!

a drizzle of Compagnia Del Montale balsamic vinegar.

Oh, name dropping vinegars now are we? But do you have Gegenbauer cucumber vinegar? And if you want a good substitute for balsamic, though it's technically not vinegar, find a bottle of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincotto). You can drizzle it on anything from vanilla ice cream to peaches and even roasted pork or grilled meats. Very "hidden charm" of Italy.

My balsamic is Fattoria Estense Balsamic Vinegar Gran Reserva. Yours is much more expensive than mine I think, you whore. Or maybe you're just a sucker and paid too much.

it was a gift from a very good (and wealthy) customer of ours.

i would NEVER spend that kinda $$ on vinegar, no matter how good it is.
btw- we were thinking the same thing about this on ice cream.

Actually my favorite thing for balsamic is as a "finisher" for a really good, high quality grilled rib eye. After you grill the meat let it rest for 4 minutes or so, then sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle the balsamic on it.

But yes, drizzled on a good vanilla gelato with some fresh cut fruit would be lovely. It's so versatile.

I love roast pork -- but you've not had it good until you've had it up in the mountains of Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic by the jíbaros. Where's Rev. Moon to testify! That filthy Spanish-speaking cocksucker.

The one thing I miss most on my restrictive income is the annual foreskin pilgrimage I would take for my birthday :) always alternating from PR to DR. It was always my astute opinion that the DR had the more choice pieces -- very thick, longer foreskin, and super veiny. My mouth water just thinking about it. Or rather The Holland Tunnel quivers and begins the secretion process.

PROTIP: when visiting "the islands" you just buy rounds of beer for a group of drag queens and coax them slowly into pointing out which guys have the largest cocks, and before you know it you're back at the hotel having room service, preferably drizzled with local cocaine like balsamic vinegar in technique. Have you ever licked coke off of a hustler's foreskin, Mitchell? ;D

Joseph resides in London, so I suspect he's going to be most comfy in the US Northeast as it's the most cosmopolitan environment with a sophisticated palate.

All,

I am saddened to report that i got drunk on Happy hour Margaritas and then went by Shipleys Donuts and got a dozen donuts (I told the clerk I didnt care what flavor, just fill the fuckin box up!).

Thus my New Years resolution went down the drain a mere 3 days in :)

But damn these are some good donuts!


PS- I did by some fish oil today so maybe that will help

PPS - I had queso too, so fuck it all!

I'm not even sure I've eaten at Chili's -- maybe once with my brother's family in the late 90's. I've noticed that even they shun such places over the past decade. With so many options these days for locally run eateries why do you folks go to these chain places? So lame.

The Chili's was across the street from my job (at Bayside in Miami) - so I met up with friends for a couple of drinks and happened upon the Southwest egg roll appetizers... quite tasty - and they are filled with spinach (which I usually avoid, but love mixed in an egg roll)

Red Lobster was with some other friends - I don't eat seafood, so I settled for the ranch drizzled southwest chicken pizza....

Of course today, after eating all of the above, I am ingesting copious amounts of Tums - Extra Strength... may have to doube up on my Lopid  ::)    Good thing my next labs aren't drawn until the end of Feb.

Ok,
Was feeling like I might be coming down with some bug today so didn't do diddlysquat other than be here.
Read the first 1/3 of this thread for the first time.
Mucho info, so many lies ;D, dreadful eating habits (mouth watering...sometimes),
dreadful eating habits (oops, am I repeating myself?) (the memory of Wumpellas tomatoes, sauteed onions, and hot dogs on "pasta" will haunt me forever), and 62 variations on what to call Wumpy.

I have come to the conclusion that I need to pay a visit to Miss P. as there must be 4,000 restaurants "within a mere 8 blocks" from her apartment.

On another note...
This thread could be published for a fund raiser! :)
Highly offensive and controversial but P. will need to replace all of her pics that were deleted. (such a dissappointment :()

Tonight, for my dining enjoyment I partook in a lovingly prepared Stir Fry with snap peas, carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, baby corn and chicken stirred in a combination of Sesame, Ginger and Teriyaki Sauce, and topped off with some nice Sriracha Chili sauce. Of course all fat-free.

For dessert I will be having a sweet Cara Cara Orange.

I bet Henry knows the good, hidden gems for BBQ. I seriously love all barbecue. It's hard to find decent places up here but actually two or three have opened in the past year. If a Southerner wants to make good money they more up here and open up such a place. In fact one of the new places ONLY does Texas BBQ and I really need to plan a jaunt to get some.

BLACKS BBQ!! Dont get me wrong Kreuz MArket is tops too, I would take either. Some of the best BBQ you could evah lay a tongue on! Amirite Henry? But no I havent been in the alst year :( Maybe we shoudl road trip?

now, with that being said, I do eat Bill Millers BBQ probably once or twice a month, but thats only out of convenience (there's one on every corner down here). I do like their Beef Poor Boys. But overall it's laughable as a BQQ joint.

I did get an amazing gift pack (see below) from my son for Christmas from a place called "Greens Sausage House" in Zabcikville, Texas (population 40)... and the Jalapeno Cheese Summer sausage was amazing, as were their hot links. So next time I'm in Temple Im going to go try their brisket and sausages.

Dear Guillermina,

Thought I'd share a couple of pictures from my latest wine class with you.  We were pairing a couple of home-made desserts and some fantabulous vinos from Spain, Italy, France, and the U.S. 

The first pictar is a Brazilian rum cake.  On the dish: green apples with organic raw honey, coconut flakes, and sunflower seeds; a dulce de leche dumpling; cream cheese and dulce de leche cannolis; and some delish blue cheese.  No Tastykakes or other over the counter rubbish.

(http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz42/livebythemoon/D1CA2F96-C060-4A60-8126-513EFCF166B8-10893-000008CDF316BE60_zps9b53e408.jpg)

How fucking hard is it to properly cook rice? /GUILHERMINA FAIL+++

ps: tomorrow I am making Mario Batali's Pork Scaloppina Perugina... had to go out and buy 4 fresh anchovies! But dammit I forgot to buy a bottle of white wine so I will need to go out again tomorrow for that! Maybe I'll go see Rust and Bone for the matinee since the good wine shop is five blocks from there.

Dearest Willita... Your Friday lesson in culinary diversity.

Lunch at my favorite Haitian joint (located in South Beach).

(http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz42/livebythemoon/BC78461D-BE07-430A-8EC2-DDF21E9BC258-12491-00000A99A3B5151A_zps5fe9573e.jpg)


The drink is called Grenadya.  It is made with passion fruit.  Delish.

The platter is totally up your alley (as in deep fried).  Known as Plat Fritay (fried platter) it includes: akra (malanga fritters), sweet potato and plantain fries with spicy ti malice, and Taso Kabrit (goat tidbits) with watercress dipping sauce (the green one).

The side dish is Diri Kole (mixed rice and beans).

Right before lunch we had a couple of Haitian mojitos.  For dessert we had Blan Mange, a Kreole take on the usual dessert with a wonderful coconut flavor.

Enjoy.

I cannot believe that you dissed my Haitian 101 lesson.  Evidently you've never had a nice piece of malanga.

And, as noted by Philicia, the cabrito "tidbits" are lean selections.  Oh, but I keep forgetting... Unless it is made with chicken lips and assholes like your beloved PukeDonald's nuggets then you're not interested  >:(

Yum... Tacos de Cabeza de Res... as in, literally, tacos made using meat from the head of the cow (unlike "tacos de ojo", which are not made with eyes).  The cow's head is wrapped in leaves (I believe they use either agave or maguey plants) for additional flavah and it is then BBQ'd.  I'm surprised you've had them. 

Have you ever had puerco asado made in a caja china?  Cubans make the best, usually around Xmas.

I ate all of it -- it was tasty, though admittedly the photo doesn't quite do the dish justice :) It's a breaded, thin pork loin cutlet cooked in olive oil. Then you make a sauce from prosciutto, garlic, capers, white wine, anchovies, sage and a LOT of lemon zest.  I'm sorry that you don't have an appreciation for Umbrian trattoria cooking.

Oh, and I have tons of leftover lentils to eat all week so I'm sure I'll be very sick of them.

I love lentils. I had them on a salad the first time I went to France as a teenager and always liked them -- definitely the best legume IMO. I'll go out today and buy a bunch of stuff to make salads all week and have them with soft-cooked fresh eggs.

I just read an article last night about how western demand has placed that grain right out of the economic reach of the people who primarily subsist on it.  It actually came to me by way of Mother Mark or a link from one of his posts on FB.

I love lentils as well.  I can go to town on stuff like that and hummus.

Add some lemon juice to it as well, and dice up vegetables like raw spinach but only add that in once the quinoa is cooked.

Here is what I had with my coffee this morning -- homemade biscotti, with pistachios, cranberries, and orange.  This recipe replaces some of the flour with cornmeal, so you get a nice crunchy biscotti that's not as hard as a brick.

I'm sorry, Miss P, the butter did not come from an Amish dairy, the flour did not come from wheat that was locally grown and hand-millled, the cranberries were not from a producer-owned bog in Massachusetts and sweetened only with agave, the oranges were not organic, and the pistachios are not from artisan growers in California.

Nonetheless they are quite tasty.   :D

They look delicious. I buy a similar biscotti and Termini Bros. Bakery (http://www.termini.com/) in my neighborhood, and it's the cranberry and pistachio ones that are my favorite. Whenever I go home to my parents I take them a box of a dozen assorted biscotti. They're outrageously expensive and I should learn to make them myself I guess.

Note to Mitchypoo: Termini's is a mere six blocks away!

ps: Guilhermina would probably prefer going to Iannelli's Bakery, also within walking distance:

Just so Mitchypoo knows, the best purveyor of quality seafood (read: they supply to all the 4-star local restaurants) is Ippolito's (http://www.ippolitoseafood.biz/). And it's 2.5 blocks from me :)

Also, there is a variety of quinoa called "Sea Level Quinoa" that is grown at lower elevations suitable for domestic US cultivation, it's just that most people prefer the quality of the Andes variety. I'm sure if you apply yourself and look around you can locate this, and thus save Bolivians from making more money and treating themselves to Big Macs.

In fact, if you squishy feel-good liberals weren't so fucking entitled and lazy you would grow your own Sea Level Quinoa in your gardens.

So I have to go out in 20℉/-6℃ weather (wind chill of 8℉ due to 20mph winds) to have my blood work done. Should I opt for Five Guys after that, or have a sharp Italian hoagie from Primo's?

Or should I pull a Guilhermina and go for $9 blood orange margaritas at El Vez (http://www.elvezrestaurant.com/)? Actually that's too nice (http://www.elvezrestaurant.com/pdf/lunch.pdf) for her tastes... though they disappoint for lack of goat meat option.

Oh, Rev. Moon -- I have located this place called Karina's (within walking distance, Mitchell!) that always has goat stew on their menu. It's a dinner-only place though. I'll have to try it out -- I'm sure it's delish. Speaking of such things, if you're ever in San Juan you should locate La Casita Blanca on 351 Calle Tapia. It's in a rather depressed area, but it's so known that it's one of those places that anyone running for Governor has to be seen eating at. And they have divine rabbit and goat creole-style stews seriously just to die for. Oh, and pigs' trotters!

I went to Primo's for a hoagie after my (nasty) visit to the HIV clinic. For some reason there were a lot of people there and they all needed to bathe. And there was one guy there with THE.MOST.HIDEOUS shirt I've ever seen so I had to send it to Guilhermina from my phone

But first, the sammich -- it was extra delish this time as the peppers were extra spicy. And note the Sarcone's bakery bread. This is why only hoagies from Philly pass the test!

The bread can't possibly be Sarcone's. Other than one in Maryland all the rest are in PA or NJ, so the rest of you suckers can suffer. And they're definitely not $5

Angie was fierce, but Danni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danni_Xtravaganza) was even more fierce. Somehow he became friends with my best friend/roommate right before he took over that house, and she took a series of portraits of him. I have one framed in my apartment. OMG, have I ever shown you the one I have of Angie? It's very legendary, though technically I don't own it. Jose was at one of my after parties and left all of these archival items/photos from the Ganza early days -- I guess he was so high he nodded off and forgot. I'm telling you those children were dropping like flies back in the 90's. I remember Miss Angie rolling up in the Factory the month before she died. Her legs had swollen up so large from some reaction from whatever medication she was on and the hormones she'd done for years they had to prop them up on lounge ashtray the whole night. You know when she died the New York Times wrote an entire article about her on page one of the Style section. I wish I'd saved a copy. I bet it's on line somewhere.

I remember you shared the pictar of Angie with me a while back. That is like a historical document.  Better hold on to it.  Whenever you write your will I want that and all 12" singles from the 1987-1996 era.

I believe this is the NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/1993/04/18/style/paris-has-burned.html) you're referencing.  It's a shame that miss Angie died so young  :(

After she died, and later when it was Twilo, whenever I had a bad trip from drugs I would tell people it was because Angie had been secretly buried under the dance floor near Speaker #1.

The strange thing is that she was 27 when she died so we were about the same age, but she seemed a lot older to me. IIRC either '92 or '93 were the high point numerically in terms of AIDS deaths in NYC.

I believe so. I remember Dorian Corey from PIB (the one who had an actual "skeleton" in her closet) also died in '93.  That was the year when I moved to Miami from NYC and it was pretty shitty down here as well.

Ah yes -- the decaying corpse wrapped in naugahyde stored in the back of her closet.

HEADLINE: Inside Dorian's Closet: Wigs, Feather Boas, Mummified Body

BODY:
When famed drag queen Dorian Corey died earlier this year, he didn't leave any skeletons in the closet. He did, however, leave wigs, sequined dresses, feather boas - and the mummified body of a murder victim.

Friends of Corey found the body in October while rummaging through his Manhattan apartment after he died of AIDS. Two months later, investigators still can't explain how it got there.

"This remains a complete mystery," said Detective Louis Llanes, a police spokesman.

Corey, 56, was a veteran of the drag show circuit and star of the 1991 documentary "Paris Is Burning," which chronicled the lives of female impersonators. He died Aug. 29.

On Oct. 19, friends of Corey went to his fifth-floor apartment in Harlem to look through his expansive wardrobe, police said. They made their grisly discovery after coming across a heavy trunk.

Inside was a male body, tucked into a fetal position and wrapped in imitation leather.

Police soon determined the man died from a gunshot to the back of the head. But the body's dried and shriveled state made finding out who he was and when he died difficult.

Soaking the body in a special solution to loosen up the skin, investigators took a fingerprint they eventually matched with a name: Robert Wells.

Wells, who was last seen by his family in 1968, had a history of trouble with the law, including arrests for rape, burglary and assault, said Sgt. Mark Giffen, who is investigating the case.

Through other tests and evidence found in the trunk, investigators determined Wells was killed about 15 years ago, Giffen said.

But who pulled the trigger remains open to speculation.

A diary recovered from Corey's apartment did not contain a confession or any other clues, Llanes said.

Still, one rumor circulating in the transvestite community points to Corey. He supposedly left a note explaining he killed Wells in self-defense during a break-in, said Chi Chi Valenti, the producer of "Jackie 60," an underground club where Corey often performed.

"This only makes her more legendary," Valenti said of Corey.

Police said they found no note.

I dunno.  The only thing I can recall that impressed me was how she used to work the remake of "Muscles" by Club 69 by mixing it with the Insane Club Mix of Ultra Nate's "Found A Cure" and she would do some crazy long overlay on a looped and sampled portion of Ultra Nate's intro -- and since we both know that was towards the end of her tenure, she had to be pushing 60 by then!  But now that I think about it, I'm sure she wasn't doing it live or it would've been train wreck city.

It takes a special kind of moron to cook ONE potato in an oven for an hour. btw, the key is to wrap the potato in a lightly moist paper towel, and puncture it a few times with a fork.

Not jealous, just finished a large bowl of cornbread and soupbeans myself.  Smothered with ketchup and onions.  WVA style.  The corn meal was home gristed and the beans were grown within the family's organic, naturally composed garden that we pay seasonal farm workers to perform rituals over to keep pests away.

I don't eat a lot of baked potatoes, but they are just as good microwaved as baked.  Five minutes nuked and then placed under the broiler for several minutes makes for a tasty tater.  Oh, and use yogurt instead of sour cream and butter.  Very tasty and a lot healthier and better for those of us who watch our figures as we move into middle age.

I use butter and low fat sour cream, but back when I was a gym bunny I would only use the juice of 1/2 lemon and cracked black pepper on them.

Not at all.  If all the farms had to rely on the local labor force, everyone would experience a huge price increase for produce.  There simply aren't enough people available or willing to reap 1000's of acres of tomatoes (one of the largest producers in the midwest).

There is quite a mix of ethnicity and they are quite welcomed within the small rural communities along the Ohio River.

OH, and I'd have no clue about green cards and such.  I have such grand memories of my summers there.  Donee' was a teenager about my age and I quickly took a rapid interest.  I later learned he was African-Mexican and we became playmates. 

I thought I was tricking him when I suggested swimming in river one evening and he didn't even look shocked when I got naked and jumped in.  He quickly joined in and those are memories that I'll hold dear forever.  We had sex every day that summer, sometimes several times a day.  Lordy, I wish I could locate him again. ;D

Speaking of my ravishing figure, when I was at HEB earlier getting my Pork chops for dinner. I noticed a guy checking me out near the cheese section. Now this is nothing unusual, I deal with this type of situation often. But before I made my way to the checkout I stopped by the mens room to relieve myself. Well guess who pulls up right next to me at the urinals...the same guy. He was a black guy, maybe 25-30, very short, but very built. He unzips and out flops this massive schlong, and he starts playing with it and gets a woody, well of course i am so shocked I cant look away, I even notice that  he has some sort of plastic cock/ball ring on. So I just stood there for a bit until he zipped up and left.  :P

I have never really been faced with this at the urinals, and am unsure what the etiquette dictates in this situation. But it was interesting to say the least.

Funny this was mentioned because just last night I was wondering who watches this anymore. I actually boycotted reality TV up until I became addicted with this show, which I watched from Day One obsessively. But there was all that mayhem when they switched it to Lifetime and didn't they churn out several seasons within one year that last year on Bravo, then there was this huge delay because of some lawsuit and I just gave up.

I'd rather watch Padma.

Speaking of my ravishing figure, when I was at HEB earlier getting my Pork chops for dinner. I noticed a guy checking me out near the cheese section. Now this is nothing unusual, I deal with this type of situation often. But before I made my way to the checkout I stopped by the mens room to relieve myself. Well guess who pulls up right next to me at the urinals...the same guy. He was a black guy, maybe 25-30, very short, but very built. He unzips and out flops this massive schlong, and he starts playing with it and gets a woody, well of course i am so shocked I cant look away, I even notice that  he has some sort of plastic cock/ball ring on. So I just stood there for a bit until he zipped up and left.  :P

I have never really been faced with this at the urinals, and am unsure what the etiquette dictates in this situation. But it was interesting to say the least.

 :P

Well I be damed ... we sent you a birthday presant and you didnt even know what to do with it .

Just curious if any of you get strange looks or comments when you take a pic of your food while in a restaurant?
Was listening to NPR yesterday about this topic.
One guy referred to it as "food porn". :)

Anyway, off to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner.
(Portugese chorico, white bean, and escarole soup)

Note to Miss P.-
(the nearest decent sized grocery store is a mere 17 minute drive each way from my house) :(

How dreadful, darling. I walk 4 blocks to my supermarket. Oh, and I bet you don't have one of these close by either! (http://www.yelp.com/biz/hung-vuong-super-market-philadelphia) (make sure you click through the photos). Or a place to purchase live chickens and rabbits! (http://www.yelp.com/biz/shun-da-live-poultry-philadelphia) Does it get any fresher than watching someone poke your dinner in the neck, drain the blood and then pluck the feathers? :P

My last place in Brooklyn had a supermarket 1/2 block away. I moved there right after the death of Biggie Smalls aka The Notorious B.I.G., and he had once lived around the corner as a kid dealing drugs. So they had a huge framed portrait of him behind the checkout counters that said "We Will Love You 4ever Big Poppa". Anyway, compared to that location I'm roughing it now.

Funny this was mentioned because just last night I was wondering who watches this anymore. I actually boycotted reality TV up until I became addicted with this show, which I watched from Day One obsessively. But there was all that mayhem when they switched it to Lifetime and didn't they churn out several seasons within one year that last year on Bravo, then there was this huge delay because of some lawsuit and I just gave up.

I'd rather watch Padma.

I stopped watching when the pozzies started winning.

I totally have not followed a good diet path these past couple of days.  I forgot to eat yesterday and took a walk which ended up bad.   ;D  Since I've learned to walk again without assistance, I've been doing it as much as possible. 

As I walked past a local hangout, several buddies yelled for me to come join them.  SEVERAL drinks later and after the laughter wore off, I found myself fighting to walk correctly.  Why do I need to periodically remind myself how bad hangovers feel?

Which reminds me, I was 15 minutes late taking my meds, could this cause any problems? :)

When you use photobucket you don't even have to know how to insert coding, it's done for you if you look to the right margin and just click on the part that says "IMG code" -- it's the fourth and last on the list. Then you just come here and paste it.

They have those too -- Maple Bacon (http://philadelphia.foobooz.com/files/2013/01/maple-bacon-donut.jpg), but I think they were out when I went. That's a "fancy" and only served in the morning.

I had an amazing Supper tonight,  I dined at the Famous  Blanco Cafe  (http://www.blancocafe.net/Menu.html) in historic downtown San Antone. MUY AUTHENTICO!

I had the Deluxe Mexican Dinner, which is served in 2 courses..
First was a crispy taco, Bean chalupa piled high with lettuce toms and cheese, and some amazing guacamole...

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/blan_zps6a65cb21.jpg)

Second was Rice and refried beans with 3 Cheese Enchiladas in carne sauce (voted best in SA). Folks it's doesnt get any more real than this...

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/blan1_zps5002cee0.jpg)

Ps- let me just go ahead and nip this now before some uppity yank chimes in...yes they have Chicken Fried Steak on the menu...It's Texas. Deal with it.

God Bless Texas.

ps- I had to pass by the Bus Station on my way to the car, but there were no hustlers out, just a meth head trying to sell a phone to Taxi drivers.

And who was ranting about Tastykakes recently?

anyone ever had these? I sauntered down to my corner store to see if I could maybe get the last Twinkie or Fried Pie, and all the Hostess products were cleared off and these were in their place. I've never seen these before.

One is Butterscotch Krimpits, I mean who can refuse that!

I've just had the Cupcakes and they are very nice.

That Italian gourmet place I go to just started their own private label so I buy that, but before I bought Badia a Coltibuono. Those are extra virgin which I only use to make salad dressings or as a "finisher" on pasta like I described. For cooking I buy something less expensive, non-virgin "Light" from the supermarket.

So if you want something higher quality for selective uses look for the Badia a Coltibuono, or just order it on Amazon.

That menu looks amazing. I give it the WUMP Seal of Approval tm.

I would order the Country Fried Steak Platter with Onion rings and String Bean Casserole for my sides. I'm a little dismayed that there are no Mashed Potatoes as sides. What are you going to dip your Fried Steak in otherwise? 1 Demerit deducted for that. Of course I'm assuming that there is ample cream gravy atop the steak.

Also $15.00 for a Country Fried Steak? Really? MissPeePee you are simply going to have to go and order the above items and take a pic and give us a review. Lipids be damned! You have to do this for the good of this thread and it's fair readers.

Oh wait -- this is country fried as opposed to chicken fried which is good as I was raised on that. If they do it similarly at least for us that meant it wasn't battered heavy it was just dredge in flour. I don't like that really crispy stuff.

I'd need to see what it looks like before committing myself to $15. Oh, and $12.50 for a patty melt? Barbara please. That better be some high quality gruyere cheese on there and LaFrieda ground beef.

It's not a diner in some rundown back road of Middletown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middletown,_Connecticut) sweetie, much less San Antoniofail. Here is a review (http://www.messyandpicky.com/index.php/2010/02/11/honeys-sit-n-eat/) of their original location which I never have gone to because it's on the other side of downtown. These prices are fairly typical for a trendy (though not upscale) place in the central sections of Philadelphia.

This place called Green Eggs Cafe (http://greeneggscafe.com/menu/) is (seriously) mere blocks from me (read: 2) and they have Red Velvet pancakes for $12.

dinner tonight:
home made chicken chili ala mitch.

Roasted chicken (boiled down and hand shredded)
onion
garlic scapes (from my garden)
roasted pablano peppers
jalapeno peppers
fire roasted tomatoes
chicken stock
cumin
chili pepper
oregano
s&p
bay leaf
 
served with toasted taco shells
green onion
cheddar
sour cream
tobasco

best eaten a day or 2 later. :)

Mitch this sounds quite delightful. Can you give us the proportions of the ingredients or do you jsut "eyeball" it?

I had a Flat Iron steak, Fresh mashed potatoes and Corn for dinner, with a fresh LARGE jalapeno. My mouth is burning from the jalapeno so I had to go get a slice of bread with some Butter (smart balance) on it to soothe my tongue. So freakin good though.

Chris bought all three new flavors and brought them home. Cheesy garlic bread is a sure winner. Siracha is a close second (it hurts twice) but the chicken and waffles, while almost authentic, is more than a little gross.

Sweet maple syrup. the tangy eggy waffle taste, and the chicken itself are just too much for one chip. Especially given the artificial chicken taste. Total fail.

The Siracha sounds good, I love that stuff. While I love the Chicken and waffles dish I'm not sure about having it as a chip flavoring. It's kind of like the Buffalo Wing chips, they are not even really close to real buffalo wings.

But of course I intend on trying all 3 flavors  ;)

I was going to roast some pork and drizzle it with vincotto and eat it along with parmesan risotto but it's almost 7 PM and I don't feel like doing much. So I may make cheeseburgers again tonight. I'll make the pork tomorrow.

I like grilled onions, but last night I just used raw bermuda onion, melted sharp cheddar and mayonnaise and mustard. And as far as mustard goes I always buy Maille. Oh, and the bun must be toasted.

Now I know you are going to come at me with some fancy $190 Potato Ricer B.S. ::) but I do it the old fashioned way. Peel the Russets, cut into pieces, boil until jsut starting to get soft. Turn heat off and let sit for 10 minutes.Drain. Add butter (one of the rare times I use real butter), and a scooch of milk. stir and then Whip vigorously until smooth (no electric mixer allowed). *add shredded cheese if desired.

My teriyaki mushrooms are simply Fresh mushrooms cut into slices and sautee in teriyaki sauce. TOO DIE FOR!

When you first told me in PM about them for some reason I thought they were chicken or turkey bones and it didn't make a lot of sense, but I did some googling and see that you must be referring to pork. I can get those at a butcher but I don't think they exist up here at supermarkets. Must be the lack of Piggly Wigglys.

I used to have box seats once a year in the early 90's for Mets games but there wasn't special food. I've had box seats for the US Open (tennis) and basketball. I can't say I was particularly impressed with that food, it was OK.

I think you are going there more than once a month but whos counting .

I can make a better cheese sandwich than that, it looks burnt, and why would you visit a place that sound like Charles Mason should be working there.

Your Cannoli still looks like my brandy snaps.   ;)

It does sound like a Manson Family Diner . I wonder if they give you a check to take to the register or do they carve the bill directly on your belly or forehead .

They write the bill in your own blood on the wall above your table. I think they must use white-boards above the tables for easy cleaning between customers.

Uh, pumpkin, this was not a "box" lol, it was a Private Suite with locks on the doors at the ATT Center.  WITH a private waiter and a hot bartender. did I mention open bar? Although the "open bar"= beer and wine only.  So we ordered a bottle of Crown Royal to compliment the experience.

Here's the view from the suite, looking down onto the common people...

You went to Dallas Nightclub on Burnet Rd.?  You slut.  That's where all the gay "cowboys" went after they left Sundance Cattle Company, or if you were around in the 90s (before the Convention Center expanded) 5th Street Station.  After midnight, Dallas became much less straight, and much more gay.  Funny what liquor does to guys, amirite? ;)

Dallas Nightclub rocked! I chased titties there for years.

Wow. 5th Street Station was the FIRST gay bar i ever went to, what memories. Actually thats wrong I think Nexus, which was a lesbian bar, was the first gay bar I went to. Remember Nexus? I was there the night it changed to Rainbow Cattle Company. Loved Rainbow. Then I found Oilcans.

Interesting how my bar progression reads like drug use...started with a gateway bar and went hardcore, and off the rails.

Unless said fishing involves a large, luxurious yacht (something you would know nothing about) then you're absolutely right -- wouldn't be caught dead doing it. Or hunting. Or camping. Or anything involving prolonged exposure to mosquitos, ants, spiders and assorted creatures that might possibly harm me.

Then again, I didn't make the mistake of impregnating a woman (repeatedly, evidently) so it's not necessary that I do anything more with my life than wear nice shoes (something you would know nothing about) and read tired queens all day on the internet.

But since the fish weren't biting , we met Henry at  Catfish Parlour  (http://catfishparlour.com/) and feasted on Catfish and Shrimp. I had the All You Can Eat Catfish, Henry had All You Can Eat Shrimp.  But Henry is such a petite little lady he had only 1.5 plates of shrimp, I pigged out with 2 plates of catfish and the leftover shrimp.

PS- I Love banquet Salisbury steak

Of course you do. Do you know how to make "ghetto chili" A true classic? Take the Banquet salisbury steak six pack then cook it or heat it or whatever. Then take a blender to the steaks. Mush them up really good. Then put a little bit of the gravy in (not too much) and then add a bit of salsa and it's a great dip for doritos or fritos.

And that's hilarious that you made so much effort to go fishing and didn't catch any fish. Does the ground always look so parched down there? It's basically all dirt. Maybe Gov. Perry needs to pray for some rain with his flock.

ps: why do Southerners fetishize "all you can eat" places? So lame.

Don't beat yourself up over it sweetie , you cant be expected to know all the good paces to eat . If I were asked where you could get a guava nectar enema I wouldn't know , but you would wouldn't you ?

But since the fish weren't biting , we met Henry at  Catfish Parlour  (http://catfishparlour.com/) and feasted on Catfish and Shrimp. I had the All You Can Eat Catfish, Henry had All You Can Eat Shrimp.  But Henry is such a petite little lady he had only 1.5 plates of shrimp, I pigged out with 2 plates of catfish and the leftover shrimp.
...

I am dainty, aren't I? 

The catfish and shrimp were delicious.  We wouldn't expect Miss P to understand any all-you-can-eat concept, so, what-evah.

Did you know that Wumpy worked in this very establishment when he was in high school?

Oh! Oh! I just remembered about this (http://philly.eater.com/archives/2012/10/22/all-you-can-eat-steak-at-garces-trading-company.php)! I still don't think I could eat more than one steak au poivre vert and duck fat fries but I'll take Jose Garces over some sloppy hole that Guilhermina worked at in high school. Naturally it's more than double what one pays at the Catfish Parlor ::)

I dont think I could do all You Can eat Steak.

AYCE Catfish, AYCE Chinese food, AYCE Buffet Sushi - Yes. but not steak. Only 1 steak please.

I bet Jeff couldn't even do AYCE steak.

I was thinking the same thing wtf wants all you can eat steak . Miss P needs to come south so we can show him how to properly work a buffet ... its important not to get overly excited and start pushin and shovin while going for the choice items when they get put out fresh . Its also bad form to beat the elderly or very young to the head of the line just because you can .

Working a buffet is definitely an art. You can not just approach a Buffet willy-nilly you'll make crucial mistakes if you do.

Regarding the elderly, while it is bad form to cut in front of them It can be acceptable to ask the Old lady in front of you "Is that Wayne Newton over there by the Jello?" and then steal her chicken wings when she turns her head.

Oh yes. That catfish was lost the moment he opened that gap between him and partner. Total loss of focus on his part. Also Improper use of peripheral vision, you have to see these fatties coming and close the gap immedately without delay. He really got schooled on that one.

I used to get some fabulous Spanish Tapas Mussells at a swanky place in Austin called Louies 106, swimming in a fabulous sauce. Henry might remember the Tapas Bar at Louies 106.

I rarely cook anything at home with sauce, Mr. Gravy Enemas. However, I make a fierce 40-garlic roasted chicken that has an excellent sauce. Are you referring to my discussion of Belgian dipping sauces for fries? I'll assume that you're more of a plebe than I thought.

We have it made fresh in jars here, usually in the seafood section.

A big hunk of horseradish fell into the floor at my feet yesterday at the store and now you bring it up . Its a sign from god ... that I should go to arbys and get some packs of horsey sauce .

That stuff has too much mayo mixed in. That's why I buy the jars of fresh stuff so I can do it myself. Plus you should also go buy some onion rolls.

OH yeah ... I saw some onion rolls and almost bought some . I know you hate wallmart but the bread they bake can be really good . Tim wants to know what kind of horseradish do you buy , is it a brand ? and do you just add mayo .

I have never been a condiment person but I love spicy mustard and herbed mayo ... and horseradish .

Whatever brand we have isn't a national brand, but stores down at my parents always carry some kind as well. Just look for jars that say "fresh ground horseradish". Ours is usually at the fresh seafood counter near the prepared shrimp, because people prefer to make their own cocktail sauce because you can make it stronger that way. Yes, I put some mayo on my sandwich too (usually I'm having it with roast beef) but some people just put on horseradish. And it may say "coarse cut" on it like below:

I just got through with a pound of premium roast beef and I sure wish I had thought to buy HR to put on it . I had it on melba thin sliced Jewish rye . I just ate a huge plate of corned beef and now my eyes are closing ... I want everyone to get your binkies and pillows out and lay down for nap time now .

My father really loves horseradish but my mother never had it when I was growing up, so I've begun forcing her to stock it when I'm home. I love rye bread for sandwiches, especially ham sandwiches. I know that "melba thin" stuff but it's almost too thin for me. I get this Jewish brand that they have at the deli here but forget the name.

Do you have kaiser rolls down there? They make really awesome roast beef sandwiches. Slice them and toast them.

I was really meaning tupperware for storage, or a proper cake pedestal (non-rotating, with glass cover) for show.

Mine is for neither storage or show, it's solely to be used when icing and/or decorating the cake. Then you would transfer the cake to something else.

No Im a professional. I use one of those round rotating things you put your spices on (lazy susan?) then I cover a piece of plywood with foil place that on top of the spice thing and put the cake on that and decorate away!

Honestly, this was the first cake that I've made in probably a decade. I used to make them more when I lived in NYC, as I'd sometimes have dinner parties -- larger apartment/kitchen and all that.

I have too many fab bakeries mere blocks away to make such endeavors satisfying, plus now I have an entire cake to eat. I need to pack most of it away in the freezer.

For dinner I had the new Joe's Crab Shack Steamable Mahi Mahi Frozen Dinner...

(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/imagesqtbnANd9GcS-3mh4lUhgi10i8Bap2_zps0b995055.jpg)

I'm not a big fan of Joe's Crab Shack Restaurants because of the way they ruin good seafood, (although their Crab stuffed Jalapenos are the best in the world)

But I saw this frozen dinner package in my grocery store and thought I would give it a try, It was $7 and they had a dollar off coupon, so what the heck.

I was very impressed. Pretty darn good for frozen dinners, and it comes with some decent brown rice. Just pop it in the microwave and it steams itself. The fish was real moist and tasty

Although it says "Meals for 2" I dont see how it could feed 2 people for dinner, I ate the entire 2 servings myself.

I'd probably buy it again.

First of all, it is not morning now.

I drink 1 cup of decaf in the morning (around 6:30 AM, not 12:45 PM).

Keurig coffee maker? Isn't that fake espresso? And decaf? Child... you might as well just drink some water in the morning. Espresso as far as I am concerned is like a taco -- it must be made outside of the home, preferably on a La Marzocco Strada machine (http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/09/ristretto-strada/).

Caffeine and insomnia don't seem to go well together.

And no, the Keurig coffee maker in not an espresso maker.
Did you forget what I do for a living?
It's all wholesale for us.

There ARE very good home espresso makers available but unfortunately the best ones are quite pricey.
We sold a few of them to some wealthy customers.
$2500.00 :o

While I would never consider such a purchase (even at wholesale), there are those who want a good cup of espresso without having to step outside of there mansions.

Which is why I don't drink anything with caffeine late in the day, certainly never in the evening. Two cups of coffee in the morning and that's generally it. I drink a lot of water instead.

I've given up on the issue until I swap out dolutegravir for isentress once it is FDA approved. I figure why start taking sleeping medication if I can do that.

Awesome. I'm now reading that Filthydelphia's Rittenhouse Square is getting a branch of NYC East Village's Luke's Lobster (http://lukeslobster.com/) coming soon. I'll soon be able to decide if their $15 lobster roll is as good as the Oyster House's $26 one. ::)

I think I will now go bathe my pussycat, because it smells, and sashay up to Rittenhouse to see what's available at the Di Bruno cheese counter. Unfortunately I just missed the weekly farmer's market because they close at 2 PM.

Shocking -- how will you survive with no gravy? Why don't you grill your pork chops instead of frying them? In fact, why don't you grill meat more often full stop?

And hopefully I will take some pictures and still post them. I woke late and my phone is taking forever to charge.

I did buy a 15 lb Boston butt to barbecue next week . I will char it good on the outside than take a cleaver to it caveman style . I will have enough to share with the neighbors .

Oh, I was raised on pork chops always having gravy. In fact, other than my mother's meatballs it was the most gravy-fied meal in our house, and she still makes them that way. I do love them like that with white rice. If I have gravy I must have rice.

Do you folks make meatballs with gravy? Whenever I go home it's my "welcome home" meal because it was my favorite as a kid, and it's also the favorite meal my mother makes from both of my nieces who are now college age.

I just grill pork chops with minced garlic and sometimes a dab of Dijon, though lately I've been craving Bún Thịt Nướng

It's not a must to have gravy with fried Pork Chops however if you do not have gravy then you have to have mashed potatoes to dip the pork chop in. THIS IS LAW people.

and what kind of gravy do you have with meatballs? thats very peculiar. :-\

The same generic southern brown gravy that you make with chicken fried steak and/or pork chops. My mother got the meatball thing from my grandmother, and I agree in the Southern context it's not something I've seen outside of our family. They're really delicious though and I can't imagine that you'd not like them. Kind of like Swedish meatballs but larger, and with a Southern twist. Texas is sooooo fake Southern.

http://southernfood.about.com/od/meatballs/r/bl30424h.htm

I've never had mashed potatoes with pork chops in my entire life. That's just so wrong.

We had applesauce with fried pork chops more often than gravy, but maybe that is just too brady bunch.
Yes usually with white rice.
Jeepers all the boring cooking I grew up eating.
My mom didn't like canned gravy so we pretty rarely had gravy with anything as she was too lazy to make it.
When we kids starting cooking the last thing we'd venture was gravy.  Just more bland meals like mom used to make. It wasn't tasteless however... Basic food does taste good enough if its fresh and not overcooked. There's always ketchup, different mustards, and horseradish.  That was about it for the condiments.  No soy sauce. Steak Sauce. Tobasco.  Eek god no!  Spicy?  The horror.  Butter.

No, I recommended what I use: a $24 bottle (17 oz) of Badia a Coltibuono (http://www.amazon.com/Badia-Coltibuono-Extra-Virgin-16-9fl/dp/B000M66G7S/ref=pd_sim_sbs_gro_2). I would never spend $75 on a bottle of anything.

I only use that for drizzling/finishing a dish so it easily last a year -- be sure not to store it near heat, as in not above your cooking area.

I also keep a larger bottle of this (http://www.dibruno.com/db-classico-olive-oil.html) to make salad dressing.

Then I also always have cheap supermarket "Lite" non-extra virgin olive oil to use for sautéing vegetables as it is more tolerant to high heat.

I have no way of knowing what you can find where you live, but for a nicer olive oil I would go with the Badia.

a steamed egg is kinda like a poached egg but far easier to make.

just put a bit of olive oil in a fry pan on low-med heat, wait 10 seconds or so to get the egg starting to turn a bit white.
pour in a couple of tablespoons of water and cover immediately.

it takes about a minute to cook.

this place is great and while it is a 20 minute drive from home, it is a mere block from our store so my hubby picks up din din when I am too lazy/tired to cook.

I went to make my iron skillet corn bread and alas, I do not have any baking soda. I have powder, just not soda. I think I threw it out because it was out of date. Actually now that I look the powder is expired too by two months, though I'm sure I can still use it don't you? Probably should just buy some more anyway.

Who cares. It's all about the BBQ and Mexican food here.
 

Is that why you sent me a text a few days ago to say you were getting pizza? You lie all of the time about absolutely everything. Anyway, if you bothered to click through the list SA was on there, but down at #11 or something which isn't dreadful.

Don't use the baking soda that you use to refresh your fridge. It picks up the odors and retains them and you'll be able to taste it in your cornbread.

No, I'll go buy some proper buttermilk when I get baking soda!

And no Dachs, I'm not lactose intolerant. I buy it because the expiration date is longer and I don't always drink a lot of milk, though you'll notice there's also a container of skim milk that I bought yesterday and it's from a local PA dairy -- got it at the farmer's market.

Here's what Alton Brown taught me.

Use instant mashed potatoes to thicken stews and soups. It not only adds another flavor element (which flour does not) but it also has a higher resistance to sustained heat, which flour does not. Meaning, thicken a stew with flour and it will be fine until the heat causes the molecules to detach, rendering the stew/soup thin again, only ripe with a floury taste. Instant potatoes won't do that as easily. I believe cornstarch is even better tolerated in high and sustained heat, but I rarely keep cornstarch around.

I mean, aside from powdering my fleshlight of course.

No, she knows I like risotto from a package because I've made it for them when I visit. Making it from scratch is a bit labor intensive. I can tell this brand is from Wegman's. The taters I would suspect are a dollar store find.

Wegman's doesn't go further south than northern Virginia but it's a really great supermarket.

That seems all American enough.  The one thing I'd ditch is the Mrs. Butterworth's.....

I have a standard American size fridge here in Switzerland. (not a huge double door one, mind you, just the size of yours and Miss Ps)  Its a size only a family of 4 would buy here, though. Swiss are shocked a single man would have such a thing, let alone one filled with food.  My brother is single in the States and he has a huge fridge and its always packed with food, beer, wine, dozens of condiments.  Its obviously not even a gay or straight thing. I guess just cultural, that Americans are prone to a decent fridge and a ample stock of food around the house....

I like to have condiments. Jars and cans of pickles, olives, antipasti, soups, curries and mangopickles, tinned fishes, soups. jarred and tinned odd things.

 Since the moment I could afford it, a complete bar. Spirituals, mixers, etc. Lots of wine in the cellar, half of which I keep too long unfortunately. Nuts and dried fruits. Baking supplies.  Chocolates.  Grandmothery candies that change with the holidays. Standards like nonpareils, candied almonds, tete du Choco (love the gold and black and red wrappers - looks nice next to a cup of expresso) licorices.  Even if I eat a candied almond only once every other day its cheery to see in simple, reused glass jar. 

Things I do NOT like are hollywood set design "gourmet kitchen" displays of food that seems like it must all be stale and just for show...  Pasta in jars.  Herbs and spices stupidly stored over the stove. All in the same style decorative jars.  Decorative oils... Thats the worst.  I spied a boutique in the trendy new strip in our former industrial quarter, the other day, that is dedicated to "boutique oils" in ridiculous decorative containers....  Its like Hallmark, mixed with Body Shop, mixed with a revolting soap boutique, candle shop or the like, but dedicated to oil and vinegars, and some pasta in decorative jars...  The oils are in big jars with spigots and you choose a decorative little jar and they ceremoniously fill it.  I almost vomited.

One time in the 80s' a friend got a housesit in Greenwich for the summer.  And we all went up there for weekends dragging our pieces of the moment.  It was an old fashioned yankee house, with I guess a pretty classy lady of the house, cause there were cupboards filled with jarred and tinned wonders... I had a fancy cuban American friend who knew exactly what to do however.  He would whip up amazing meals based on basics like plain gelatin, beef bullion, soup crackers, or campbell's tomato soup, and the things in those tins... potted meats or anchovies or jarred muscles or crab meat, or evaporated milk or condensed milk. Marshmallows. Etc.  How did he know how to do all that? There was a good mix of interesting plates and bowls to eat it out of, as well..

I tend to go overboard with the condiments... pickles, olives and such. What you didnt see was the door of the fridge which is packed with several different jars of pickles, Bread n Butter, dills, sweet gherkins. I love to browse in the pickle aisle of my local grocer. I buy a ton of olives also, but they dont last too long because I eat them by the handfuls.

Here is a "winner" recipe just in time for the spring season!
(great for Easter as an opener.)
It tastes like spring. :)

Spring Pea Soup:

Ingredients:

2 tbs. unsalted butter
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 clove chopped garlic
4 cups chicken stock
2 (10 ounce) packages of frozen peas
2/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper

Toppings:

bacon
sour cream or crème fraiche
fresh chopped chives
croutons (preferably homemade with butter and garlic)

Directions:

Heat butter in a large saucepan, add the leeks and onion, and cook over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes until tender.
Add garlic and cook another minute.
Add the chicken stock, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil.
Add the peas and cook for 3 minutes.
Off the heat, add the mint, salt, and pepper.

Puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth.
(you can use a regular blender but you will need to puree in batches)

Serve in bowl with the toppings.

This is so easy and SO delicious!
(tastes nothing at all like split pea soup, although I like that as well) :)

I hope some of you will try this.

(for those of you who are not used to cooking with leeks...
just slice them up and put them in a large bowl of water.
swish them around a bit to get any sand out.
let any sand or dirt settle to the bottom of the bowl and the leeks are ready to use.)

Happy Spring!

PS- I don't see any reason that you couldn't pretty much use the same recipe replacing the peas with broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, or potatoes.

Green and black olives in brine, in jars, pitted, can be pretty tasty and useful. Its very nostalgic delicious...  And I am not going to start seeding and chopping some fine dried olives to throw on a pizza...  Every bar needs some cocktail olives and maybe cherries and hibiscus for the "ladies"
There seem to be NO cheap brands of maraschino cherries here.  :-[
I find candied bright red dried cherries but they won't do.
Red and green maraschino cherries are one of those toxic items that are too frivolously seductive to give up because they're "bad".

Is that for spraying over the bodies of the pathetic twinks you routinely bring home (before they steal your wallet and charge things on your credit cards, that is)?

Somehow I missed that by being focused on your Mrs. Buttersworth. Actually I will use Cool Whip but only because I am single. If I have people over for dinner I whip actual cream, with a few drops of vanilla.

I've never bought spray whipped cream in my entire life though, I can safely say that. Same with (fake) cheese. I bet you like spray cheese don't you?

Happy Easter!   What's on the menu for Easter dinner this year?

My other half is out of town so I am making dinner for myself this evening.  I am making spaghetti and meatballs.   Homemade meatballs (my own recipe ) and homemade sauce, a nice Italian bread that I picked up from the bakery and a nice wine from the Columbia Valley.

After church I went to Shoneys All you can eat buffet.

Today was all about Jesus and Chicken Fried Steak! PRAISE!

We were going to go to Colden Corral's Easter Buffet, but the Baptists beat us there and the line was out the door.

Here we have Chicken Fried, Mashed taters, Turkey, cornbread Dressing onion rings, fake crab salad, potato salad and skrimps  :P (this was round 1 of 3)

I'm as full as a tick

I've finished my famous meatballs and now am working on the gravy (tomato sauce for the spaghetti). 

There was an article in this weeks pacific nw magazine about the bread maker where I got the loaf of bread for this evenings festivities.  It's amazing how much work goes into baking a loaf of bread.  Interesting read though.

Jeff, while the ingredients in meatballs are usually fairly simple to make them is an art.

I'm guessing yellow (not wholegrain) mustard.

Ick. Might be good in ham salad though.

On second thought.... Ick.



I had my evening meal at a mate's house last night and her gravy is to die for.

We had roast beef (just the right shade of pink inside), roasted spuds, roasted honey-glazed parsnips, Yorkshire puddings, broccoli, carrots and green beans. And GRAVY. Marvellous gravy. I can't remember the last time I ate so much food at one sitting. Talk about being "full as a tick"! ;D

She starts her gravy well before starting the main course. She begins with roasting bones which are then made into stock and it goes on from there for hours ... it's not just gravy, it's performance art.

I'm quite certain her gravy would put to shame the gravy you southern-yank chaps make. I had a very vivid (scarily vivid) dream last night about her teaching a "gravy master class" to you lot  so you could learn how to make real gravy.

And I'm not even taking Sustiva. ;D

After she knocked you upside the head with a ladle, she proved you wrong and even you had to admit it. You (and Miss PeePee, Jeff and two others who aren't forum members, but live in the South) were all on your knees worshipping her after you sampled the finished product.

And what's the deal with Target's dressing room mirrors? Yesterday I saw this cute shirt so i decided to try it on and when I took my shirt off in the dressing room I was amazed at how God damned good looking I was as I peered in the mirrors, they are those multi-mirrors that show the front side and back.

Amazingly when I lived in Hartford in the early 90's there was a VERY GOOD (and several other Southerners/Texans agreed with me) barbecue restaurant near downtown.  I can't remember the name, and it was gone the last time I was in town.

there was a great rib place not too far away that only lasted a few years.
guess Connecticut won't tolerate BBQ too long.
it spoils the states reputation. ;)
but I'm still here after all of these years.

But don't overlook Percy St -- worth it alone for this: Byrd Mill Grits surry sausage, fried oysters, pickled red onions as an appetizer

Indeed, they are chartreuse. They are from a line of Martin Margiela sneakers that intentionally do not have laces. There's an elastic band hidden under the tongue that keeps them from not fitting snugly.

It's called FASHION.

In my parts les keums wear their 80 and 90s hip hop sneaker swag with loose laces.  Otherwise, its just spotless new VANS VANS VANS, Lacoste, and more VANS. With impeccable laces.  And, occasionally, Topsiders, which always make me laugh to spot that odd American artifact resurfaced on french trottoirs.

Fuck you all -- I win (http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/04/04/philadelphia-coffee-shop-takes-1-spot-on-americas-best-coffee-list/). And it's mere blocks away! (ok, six blocks)

complete list/slideshow here: http://www.thedailymeal.com/americas-best-coffee-shops-slideshow

1.   Ultimo Coffee (http://ultimocoffee.wordpress.com/) , Philadelphia
We come full circle on our list, from one Philadelphia coffee shop to another. What makes Ultimo tick — and brings in Philadelphians in flocks? Simplicity, and a little bit of love. In the constant battle over which cities have the best coffee culture — East Coast versus West Coast, New York City versus Philadelphia — it frequently boils down to the people behind the counter. And many will argue that Philadelphia, often seen as the underdog to the big cities of the Northeast, is hands-down the winner for the best cup of coffee because the coffee scene there is hardly home to the snobbery that can come with "Third Wave" coffee. Sure, you’ll find pour-over drip coffee and Chemex batches at Ultimo, along with niche coffee roasts (all from Counter Culture Coffee Roaster) and artisanal sandwiches (new from American Sardine Bar). But what you won’t find at Ultimo is an attitude — and that’s exactly what our panelists noted Ultimo so highly for in the customer service and atmosphere categories. In an interview with Counter Culture Coffee, co-owner Aaron Ultimo put it simply: it’s about a good cup of coffee and a good atmosphere in which to enjoy it. "In the end, I love the people in and around the industry, and I love the coffee that I get to drink every day," he said. That, plus the shop’s dedication to educating the public with free cuppings and tastings, makes it worthy of a heavy title. (Bonus points for the craft beer store the Newbold location shares its space with — caffeine to start the day, beer to end it.)


note: sorry, not a single winner from San Antonio or Birmingham = much fail

ps: I actually go here (http://www.elixrcoffee.com/) more than Ultimo, but Ultimo is definitely my second go-to spot. Elixr's owner, Evan, loves me.

Fried Pickles Yall!

Ima make these this weekend...

Dill Pickle Chips
3/4 to 1 cup of beer
2 eggs
1 -2 cups of flour
Cholesterol free oil

Pour oil in a large skillet until the oil is about 1-2 inches up the side of the pan. Heat oil to 350 degrees.

Strain pickles in a small colander.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks and 3/4 cup of the beer. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Whisk in enough flour to form a batter. If the batter is too thick add the remaining beer to thin the batter.

Dip pickles one at a time using tongs into the batter and then place in the heated oil.

Fry pickles for about 2 minutes flipping the pickle after about 1 minute.

Place pickles on a plate lined with paper towel and then season with salt. Serve with Ranch Dressing.

So girls, just got in from my manicure with Jacqui at the hyper-gay Charlie Salon. Then had a lovely cold brew Toddy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_brew) where they employ an 18-hour extraction technique. Thank you Elixr Coffee (http://www.elixrcoffee.com/). I buy coffee beans there and they always give me cards for free drinks, so basically I never pay when I go except for a tip. Deal! Then I had a craving for carnitas so I hoped over to Taqueria El Jarocho and stared at this muscular young Latino guy eating at the table across from me. His tight white t-shirt exposed everything. And he had divine supple lips that would perfect for eating out my ass for hours.

I dont like any coating on my fries.

 Btw, I make the worlds best fries. What's my secret you ask? Well You use fresh cut potatoes and put them in a pot of cold oil and turn the fire on high and cook them till golden brown. That's right cold oil, not hot. surprisingly this makes less greasy fries and also gives it a crisp crust and sinfully moist center.

I don't deep fry at home -- greasy, dirty and messy. I make frozen fries, they taste fine if  you get the nice ones with sea salt, and have zero fat. Oprah told me so a decade ago.

btw, when I say places in Philly use kaiser rolls and dusted fries, it's only the local greasy spoon/diner places that do it. The ones that cater to the odd folks known as native Philadelphians. And trust -- they are odd. I live here, I'm not from here.

The more upscale, nouveau hipster spots that I frequent generally do not indulge in this.

Totally going to get the sweet chili and/or wasabi aioli glazed. NO TRANS FAT! NO CHORESTEROL [sic]

Plus don't you love that they're closed on Saturday but open on Sunday - the reverse of Chick-Fil-A. Oh wait -- that's fucked up. Their half chicken is $11 whereas the fancier hipster Chicken & Donut place I've been obsessed with for the past year is $9, plus you get a free donut.

Since undoubtedly he'll want sex afterwards perhaps I should step it up and go all out at La Fonda. However, If we go to Lion and Rose I can rudely watch the Texas Rangers on their big screen while I feign interest in his boring stories.

Of course the Margaritas are better at La Fonda.

A green onion and/or scallion is not the same as a ramp, silly cow. They look similar because they're from the same "family" but taste all together different. Obviously you've never had anything with a true ramp in it.

Never heard of Ramps. Nor would I celebrate their arrival. Who cares really. Amirite?

Anyways Just got back from the PO after having dropped my Tax return off on time for the first time in at least a decade, and Ive decided to take the rest of the day off and make a celebratory supper.

I will be making  Buttermilk Roast Chicken  (http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/01/buttermilk-roast-chicken/) from Smitten Kitchen (thank you MissP for turning me on to that site) Ive been marinating the chicken in buttermilk brine since yesterday. To accompany this delightful dish I will be preparing Jeff's Rosetto Potatoes from the AMG Cookbook. I am also making a Macaroni Salad from a box (thank you Kraft) and Frozen green beans.

Yall Jelly brahs?

Oh Ps- Henry, we are going  here  (http://austin.eater.com/archives/2013/04/15/p-terrys-by-the-numbers.php) next time I'm up, K? Cause if they are selling 12,000 pounds of meat a week I need to be part of that.

And yet, Chez Panisse and Moosewood (and soon Bloodroot) were all doing this in the early 70s.....  Though there were some dirty hippies around, the food was already pretty good and the "local" valorised.

I remember some REVOLTING vegetarian restaurants in NYC in the 80s. I think the hippies and hippy towns were well in advance of the worldly New Yorkers. 

Not this season, but last, Portlandia had some good gigs about "locavore hipster" a-holes.

I wish we could keep the food, and be rid of the worst of the foodies.  ;D

Also, CHEAPER. 

It should all go All-American and there should be a national, healthy fast food joint thats truly people priced...  Michelle Obama, are you listening? Walmart has FAILED.

Food nazis can suck my dick.
I was tripping on hash in Geneva on Saturday and I wanted to eat. Most restaurants are so overpriced and mediocre I went to McDonald's.  I got a "Mcdeal menu" it was 8 US bucks, two cheeseburgers, fries, a coke, to go. With a coffee. It was PERFECTLY packaged.  A holder inside to keep it all in place, a perfect crisp bag, and there was a napkin, a straw, two ketchups (you pay for them, as you must pay for EVERYTHING in Suisse, 20 cents each), a creamer.

I had to wait 2 minutes while the COOKED the hamburgers. The buns were toasted, perfect.  There was a cute young guy working and there were 5 girls, count them, hanging on his every breath. They seemed to know him and he was masterly working them with McDo corporate hospitality delivered with irony and immense charm and testosterone.  He gave me my bag and I took it to the quai and watched the sun set on the Jet d'eau. 

I dunno if we need a foodie fast food equivalent but if someone could pull it off, it would make godzillions in profit.

For dinner I made Spaghetti with my world famous meat sauce. NOW THAT'S EYE-TALIAN!

For desert I made a lovely Strawberry Trifle with fresh strawberries, blueberries sand bananas. I didn't have a proper Trifle bowl so I had to use a large Tupperware bowl (which I inherited from my mother, thankx mom!). I also forgot to put the crushed pineapple in so I will serve it on the side. Ima take some over to my neighbors after I get through ravishing it. They don't speak english but they love it when I bring surprises for them!

Carry on.

It's truly astonishing what passes for a taco down there. Looks worse than Taco Hell.

On the other hand, I went to Ultimo (#1 in the US for coffee!) and had a macchiato then walked over to Chhaya (http://www.chhayacafe.com/) for organic, grass-fed pastured pork BLT. Note how there are no fries on that menu. Which reminds me they just opened up a branch in the Gayborhood last month.

And please Guilhermina -- 1945? LOL

The oldest theater still in operation in the United States is in Philadelphia -- actually it's the oldest one in the entire English speaking world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walnut_Street_Theatre).

That recipe is also good with rainbow chard. The key is in the breadcrumbs, and you need a good bakery pain au levain or country white.

If times are so rough that you cant get you some ground beef and a Jar of sauce for your onion spaghetti I think I would make me some beans and cornbread and use them onions to chomp on the side .

I eat prepared indian dishes that come in a foil pouch, straight from India, not locally manufactured. They are delicious, about 4 bucks, and with rice or added fresh veges or meat, make a nice meal.
Im pretty wary of the prepared frozen delicious things imported direct from China. But can't resist the frozen dumplings. Which are sadly quite expensive...

Good for you.  I despise Parmesan cheese from a can/plastic jug and only buy wedges from the market then grate it myself.  Thats how mom did it and if its good enough for her, then well.

Is it Parmigiano-Reggiano though?  The "King of cheeses!!"

I didnt know this but the majority of "Parmesan" cheese sold in the US is crap/not really parmesan.  In fact, it is against the law for Kraft to sell their plastic jug o' cheese in Europe.  They take their cheeses very seriously.

Silly redneck, that's just the name of the type of cheese, not a brand. Such fail.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmigiano-Reggiano

It's also regulated by Italian D.O.C. laws like how France does the same with certain wines, so it has to be from three certain Italian provinces to qualify for that name. You can find a similar cheese from outside those regions using the same production method, or you can if you have a specialty store for cheese. Grana Padano, for example, is such a cheese -- it's also Italian and is more widely used than the other within Italy. Same production method, not as over-priced. I would use GP for grating on pasta and save the higher priced PR for eating by itself with wine.

Of course, when I go to the Italian Market mere blocks away I can have the cheese counter grind it professionally to order.

Tonight I unwrapped some kind of smelly mountain cheese I never heard of.  Morbier AG from the French part of the Jura Mountains.  I am very fussy about smelly French cheeses like this, meaning mostly I can't stand them.
http://www.fromagerie-laferte.fr/La-fromagerie-aux-2-AOC/
The rind was vile smelling from the get go.  I cut it off, and said OK, put the cheese on a board and made toast and gave it a chance. Three bites in I threw it all away and sealed the bag and took it outback to the trash. 

Then I ate ordinary French supermarket paté with a glass of Gewürztraminer from Alsace and those two were freaking delicious. 

Some French food you have to wonder who eats it.

I adore really smelly cheese that smells like a combination of sweaty armpits and ripe man-crotch. I've yet to meet one that I couldn't stomach. Can't recall if I've had Morbier but I think I have. Was it smellier than Epoisses or Pont L'Eveque? Epoisses I completely live for.

1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed
1 cup shredded swiss cheese.
1/2 cup onions chopped
1 1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
3/4 cup biquick 1tsp salt
1/4 tst pepper
1/2tsp nutmeg

Mix spinach and cheese and onion in pie dish , beat remaining ingredients until smooth pour into pie dish bake at 400 for approx 30 min.

No, they look like onions but taste more like garlic. I can't imagine that you'd find them for sale where you live. They aren't cultivated and can only be obtained by foraging in the Appalachian mountains. They're only around for maybe six weeks and show up at farmer's markets here, and on menus of the more upscale restaurants. My advice is to plan a jaunt to NYC for next April!

Frozen green beens are good for stir fry.

Fresh green beans are fantastic - so many different ways to eat them.  I use them for dipping into hummus and baba.

Their season is only a few months here.   I don't buy too many unnecessary "flown in" fruits and veges.  Bananas, lemons, etc etc, well, what are you going to do.  But out of season green beans.....

Jeff, what is the difference in the frozen meals that make Banquet "healthier" than Weight Watchers, Healthy Choice, etc?  I'm asking because I usually buy the lower calorie dinners to take to work for lunch.  I would be interested to know the differences.  Lord knows if  I can save money I'm all for it.

I was mainly looking at calories and carbs and found the cheaper meals much better or the same with that criteria  ... the brand I like is Michelinas and I get them at wallmart .

The sodium is probably high but I don't have high blood pressure , these meals have about 280 - 350 calories and about 16 to 25 grams of carbs . Its just enough to make my meds work and not put me to sleep like meals can do to us diabetics .
This link will also show the nutritional info on the dinners .

I don't mean to sound critical but that statement seems counterintuitive.  Blood sugar problems can be a bitch to solve and throw hiv meds on top of it and you could be in for a pickle.   

Do you know how to cook?  Maybe a small chicken breast and some fresh veggies?  You would cut down on the fat, definitely lower your sodium, and would have less an impact on your blood sugar.

Or even a salad with some garbanzos for protein? Some Greek food, a pita, tzaziki sauce and veggies?

$1 frozen meals doesn't sound like a solution if your having blood sugar problems.

I'm an excellent cook and I welcome you question . One of the things all dietetic people must have is a convenient supply of food that we can eat on the run or when we dont feel like like cooking , if you don't have something handy you tend to eat what ever you can find and thats how you run into trouble . I do not wish to cook a 350 cal breakfast everyday and I cant eat sugar or bread at all so a frozen meal works out well sometime ... its not the same for all diabetics but sugar and bread , any kind of bread run my sugar sky high . If you work like Betty does and you a diabetic you simply can not eat out everyday and stay in control .
 
If I don't have a convenient source of food I'm more likely to run get something that's far worse , the frozen meals solve the problem and I can also grab one to go . Its not really even a matter if I like the meals or not , my HIV meds need 350 calories to work and I have to inject insulin that requires me to eat right then and not later .   

Its not uncommon for me to be at a friends house and need a meal right then and they haven't even started dinner or be asked to go somewhere when I need to cook and cant do both .

McDs served burgers on bagels?  Are the bagels any good?  Not sure a burger on a real bagel would be that easy to eat.


It's not a boiger. It's one of them breakfast sammies with that fake and vile porkn'eggs.

I'm with Philicia however; whenever I order from a fast food place it has to be drive-thru.  I carnt stand the idea of hanging out with the pedestrianism of the hoi polloi that frequents those places.


Yall just being mean posting those food pics when you know all I can have from now on is 3 green beans and water ... with lemon in it on the holidays .

It's not a burger -- it's a steak, egg and cheese (and some onions) on a toasted bagel. They've had these for 15 years. I think they started them in the Northeast. Not sure if the second rate citizens in the southern occupied lands have them on the menu.

I hate it when people say diabetes is as bad as HIV , its not , but controlled diabetes is  more of bitch to mange from day to day than controlled HIV , if that makes sense .

Totally agree.  And you're right, I cannot afford to eat out constantly while at the job, so I usually take a frozen meal, unless I've cooked something on the weekend and can take left overs.  Diabetes is a bitch.  But, I manipulate my fast acting insulin, I admit.  If I'm going to eat something very sweet, or full of carbs, I'll inject a bit of the fast acting insulin so my sugar doesn't go up.  And the doctor's office called stating my diabetes labs were excellent.  So it can't be bad (manipulating the insulin).

No its not bad , that's what I do too . On the other hand I have a friend who will eat what ever he wants all the time and swears diabetes is not a problem while injecting massive amounts of insulin . I used to be able to eat things I cant tolerate now  but now that my diabetes has progressed rapidly for whatever reason I'm trying to get ahead of it quickly , so I'm making changes and try and do what you do , moderation .

The older I get the worse the diabetes gets.  I would not start injecting large amounts of insulin just to be able to eat carbs and sugar constantly.  I only do it, for instance, if I"m going out to eat with a friend, and know I'll be eating carbs.  Or the once-in-a-while trip to the local frozen custard business. 

Is your friend overweight?  I'm asking because insulin turns extra sugar into fat.  Since getting older I have put on quite a bit of weight.  Probably due to just what I was posting about.  I am trying to even things out, exercise (which is hard to do with my knees), but it's difficult.  Day to day control of diabetes is a bitch.  But going blind and losing limbs scares me.

Both my friends are significantly overweight ... and one reason why Im making the changes is because another friend of mine who is a doctor told me point blank that the new amount of insulin will make me fat if I continue to eat like I have in the past .

My family and my friends all mean well but the whole day has always revolved around breakfast lunch and dinner and I must break that cycle for me right now . Im not over weight but I know from trying to lose a few pounds while on modest amounts of insulin is challenging , if I let myself get overweight and inject the amount Im injecting now I will never be able to lose a single pound of it .

Im looking at it like this , I should have made these changes before but its not too late to get a grip on it now , so its a good thing .

There are plenty of things I should have changed long ago.  Never too old to make positive changes.  I totally agree.  I'm trying to avoid the horrors of uncontrolled diabetes.  One of my client's mother just passed away due to diabetes.  She had also just had one of her legs amputated.  So getting healthier is always good.  But I do still have the occasional treat.  I'm only human.

My doctor told me that if I continued to smoke while being diabetic, I may as well put a gun to my head.  It took me a long time to quit, and many attempts, but hopefully it still stick this time.

All we can do is try and keep going forward.  Maybe we can support each other while attempting to get healthier.  I have your number, and you have mine. :)

Will, I actually became diabetic while in a coma.  The feeding they were giving me through the feeding tube had an unusually high amount of sugar and caused my pancreas to fail.  It happened way after my HIV diagnosis/meds, something like 12 or 13 years ago (it was a pretty foggy time).   Do you have a famiy history anywhere of diabetes?

Thanks, but you know, shit happens.  Everyone has something to deal with. 

Sometimes diabetes can skip a generation.  I'm talking about your aunt.  It is hereditary usually, so maybe a couple generations before your aunt also had diabetes somewhere?  Not that you would know that.  But, if your aunt is diabetic, even if she was just diagnosed, it could be passed on to you.  I would let your doctor know about that and agree your sugar should be monitored when you get your labs. 

I'm not being a h8er, lol, but from what I've read, and I have followed this thread, you don't eat well?  I wonder if you could get a referral to a dietician or someone who could help in getting a reasonable nutrition plan going?  I know how difficult it is, and I am far from perfect.  But if you can avoid becoming diabetic, it would be a positive thing.

1 minute to strain pasta

2 minutes to mix in pesto

1 minute to plate the feast

Total time: 10 minutes

We are currently on brine #2 which will be finished tomorrow morning, after which I will finally roast the bird and it will be done by noon. The first brine was a basic -- salt, sugar, etc. The second brine is a thai-based brine with southeast Asian fish sauce, fresh ginger, chilis, garlic, lime infused honey and thyme.

Tomorrow the chicken will be roasted with preserved blood oranges, rosemary, red onion, olive oil and roasted fingerling red potatoes.

Miss P.,

You are going to love the clay roaster.
It makes the most moist and tender chicken that I have ever eaten.
The only downside is that the skin doesn't get crispy.
(I suppose you could transfer it to another piece of cookware and broil it a few minutes)
Skin =fat, so maybe it's best to enjoy the chicken without it. :( :)

We carried both the Schlemmertopf and Romertopf brands.
The story is that the owners of Romertopf got a divorce and the wife started Schlemmertopf.
She decided to glaze the inside of the bottom half for easier cleaning.
Works just as well as enough moisture is in the lid to do it's job.

We also carry a tajine but not many here in Collectanut seem interested.

Hope your chicken turns out beyond your nightly wild dreams of it this past week.
(love fingerling potatoes.) :)

I threw too much chicken stock in the pot and could have just left it out -- so the skin didn't get crispy. This was more or less a recipe that I made up -- like I took 3 different recipes and improvised. It was still so good that I actually ate two portions and I never do that with food. Next time I make it I will do some adjustments.

But next time I make roasted chicken it will be my 40-garlic roast chicken that has the most amazing sauce (read: NOT GRAVY)

True, but there were also some other countries that are not particularly wealthy that had quite nice spreads and infinitely more healthy than the tables of processed, packaged food other countries have. It's more a reflection on weather conditions for local agriculture. If you have good soil and ample rain if you're poor you can still eat well. Sadly those folks living in arid places are only going have worse times ahead thanks to the fossil fuel fanatics in Texas.

Except I think this American family didn't quite understand the assignment.  Their spread didn't appear like groceries but a collection of trips to fast food places and convenience stores.  Where do these people do their grocery shopping, 7-11? 

I have a hard time thinking this represents the average Americans grocery or diet experience.  If it does, it's sad.  You have to search hard for any fruits or vegetables which appears to be limited to a few tomato's. 



Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: mecch on May 11, 2013, 12:33:16 pm
Wow.

The Turkish and Indian spreads look appetizing.  So many of the countries actually look like food.  The Mexican spread is appetizing but jeez, stop with the soda, your kids are fat.

Look at those huge packages of meat in Australia.

For Europe, the Italian and French spreads don't look gluttonous but maybe with the French one its the angle of the photograph cause there's another table in the background.   Of course there's coffee and cigarettes to factor in.  8)

The Brits and Americans look like packaging not food. Other countries have a lot of packaging but we see some food, like the Kuwaitis.  (Envying their ample cabinet space, though not the color scheme.)

Oh, I think it may be a rather accurate reflection. I think there are a fair number of people who shop at convenience stores regularly. I have a 7-11 near me but I only go maybe once or twice a year when it's really hot and I have a sudden need for a Coke slurpee.

I think those are packs of frozen veges, by the fresh meat.  Also, to the parents credit there is no sugar soda, just some diet coke, and I guess whatever soda they want at McDo.  Gatorade's not good, but boys like it.
For 2 teenage boys, that spread does not look realistic, come to think of it.
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: mecch on May 11, 2013, 01:04:35 pm
Bottled fruit juice is too much sugar, as well, but at least its "fruit-related".

(On second look, I was quite wrong about the Kuwaitis and packaging. Just one long line of prepared dishes in pouches, in boxes.  I eat the Indian version of this.  For a desert country, many families with plenty of money to buy whatever, the Kuwaitis should probably get an award for that healthy spread.)
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: Miss Philicia on May 11, 2013, 01:09:47 pm
btw, note the amount of Coke for the Mexican family. I recently read that Mexico uses more of that per capita than even the US, and naturally it's made an obesity epidemic. And for people that thing the issue in the US is the use of high fructose corn syrup that Coke in Mexico uses cane sugar still.

And yes, fruit juice seems good but it has tons of sugar. I only buy it sparingly and maybe consume one glass per week. And I probably only have one soda per week though it's often Coke Zero. I don't put any sugar in coffee or tea -- zero. Really the only time I have sugar is to lightly sprinkle it on strawberries, and then that's during winter months when they're not local and not as tasty.

Oh please -- we have that too here. Except ours dates back to 1859 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Terminal_Market) so nice try. More tourists visit RTM than Independence Hall. Ours is smaller but it's crammed into the middle of the city and can't expand, yours is on the waterfront. So that's 6.3 million visits versus 10 million for Pike Place but if we were to prorate this for square footage it's probably very comparable.

We also have the year-round 9th St Market which is the oldest continually operating outdoor market (http://italianmarketphilly.org/) in the US. I go there the most because it's mere blocks away (as in 5 blocks) but RTM is only 3 subway stops for me and equally easy. 9th Street was originally all Italian but in the past five years the lower 1/3 section has become completely Mexican. This market is about 7 blocks long I think, but then for a couple blocks east and west there are huge amounts of Vietnamese shops and restaurants.

Our farmer's markets like the one I referenced are strictly mostly seasonal, small and geared towards specific neighborhoods. There are probably 12-15 of them during growing season. RTM like Pike Place is a different concept. And as far as the Northeast goes I'm fairly sure RTM is the largest. There's nothing comparable in NYC operating daily and enclosed and the largest in DC is Eastern Market and it's nowhere as large either. Haymarket Square in Boston I think is their largest but it's all outdoors.

It's hard to see in that picture, but through the arch is where the farmer's market is -- stretches back two or three blocks under a covered shed area. That front structure is actually the oldest firehouse in the US (1804) but the market has been there since 1745.

Isn't the best farmer's market the one near your house, the one where you know the vendors.  I split my shopping between two different cities, where I live and where i work. The one in the big town where I work I prefer because its really the ancient Swiss farmers at some of the stands, grannies and grandpas with big craggy hands.  And fair prices. 

As for spectacular markets, I submit La Boqueria in Barcelona and Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakech. That one in Marrakech is a dream, incredible place to trip, as its half side-show too, and food stalls and restaurants.  Unfortunately I never lived there so never really got that feeling "home".  Also the one in Rome.

Union Square was always nice, and Rue Mouffetarde in Paris when I studied there, and it was cheap! Rue Mouffetard is 100s of years old (the location was built by the romans in fact) and Jemaa el-Fnaa as a market must be at least 500 years old or more.

This is actually the hippest thing in NYC right now. It started as a component of the Brooklyn Flea Market (which, naturally, was mere blocks from my old apartment in Clinton Hill) but so many vendors began participating that they had to make it a separate event, so it's now on the waterfront in DUMBO.

Some of you don't understand the difference between a public market and a farmers market. That's kind of sad. Excusable in Guilhermina's case because she has a diploma from U-TX San Marcos and only shops at Walmart, but bugsy is (supposedly) an urbane, cosmopolitan lawyer, albeit with vague credentials.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_market

Public markets are markets, in public spaces, where independent merchants can sell their products to the public. Typical products sold at public markets include fresh produce, baked goods, locally raised meats and dairy products and various other food items and handcrafted goods. Public markets often emphasize foods, clothing, and artisanal products reflective of the ethnicities in their respective regions. They can also serve as popular venues for public events and busking. Public markets are distinct from farmers' markets in that they often feature imported goods.

Processed chicken got popular about the same time. I like the story of the Chicken Professor.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/16/nyregion/16baker.html

Cornell University hired Dr. Baker in 1957 as a professor and as a liaison to growers and marketers. His mission was to find ways to persuade people to eat more poultry, rather than viewing chickens as just egg-laying machines or Sunday luxuries. He took them to places no bird had been before, including the sausage department.

It was part of a fundamental transformation of the poultry business. It was after World War II that plucked chickens became generally available in supermarkets, and prepackaged chicken parts arrived only in the late 1960's. Now more than 40 percent of chicken sales involve processed meat, like patties and nuggets.
Among the more than 50 chicken products that Dr. Baker and his team of technicians and graduate students developed were chicken baloney, chicken steak, chicken salami, chicken chili, chicken hash, chicken pastrami and chicken ham. He performed similar magic for turkeys and eggs, doing some of the earliest work on frozen omelets.

Part of the magic lay in extracting all the meat from the poultry carcass and reshaping it. In 1982, Forbes magazine credited Dr. Baker with having invented processed chicken in 1963.


_____________

I remember a lot of this stuff arriving.  Anyone remember I Can't Believe They are Peas and I Can't Believe They are Carrots.  They were frozen french fries with pureed vegetables mixed in with the potatoes.

We ate fish on Fridays and we kids didn't like smelly, real fish, so we got fish sticks and tartar sauce.  Yummy.

There is a 5 Guys close to where I live but I've only been there a couple times.  There's a sub restaurant around here that also serves their fries in paper bags, but I can't think of their name for some reason.

I almost bought some blood orange gelato a couple days ago, due to Ms P raging about it, but didn't.  I bought some actual blood oranges a few weeks ago, they were alright.  Seemed sweeter than regular oranges, or a different kind of sweet.

If you can find some Heirloom Navel Oranges grab a couple. I  found some at Whole Foods about a week ago. They're a bit pricey at about $1 a piece but well worth it. the flavor is amazing. I normally turn my nose up at normal Navel oranges and go for a nice CaraCara but the Heirlooms are heavenly.

I like blood oranges too. Check out this purple meat Blood orange I had a year or so ago, beautiful meat but unfortunately it was rather bland..

Re Blood Oranges.

This has produced a long forgotton childhood memory. The village that I was bought up in being 70 miles from London had a small community off London based artsy folk with weekend retreats. These families where a source off fascination to me and often there groceries where akin to jewels from the orient. So one summer day ,I guess I was around 6 , I was offered half an orange , I very politely took it to the Mother who supplied it explaining that it was off , as the colour was wrong. She replied with a , are not the local yokels charming laugh and said they where BLOOD oranges . I took a rather literal understanding off this and hid the orange to show local yokel Friends this incredable find . This led to an older boy explaining about vampires , three off us ate the by now battered and bruised orange cut with appropriate solemnity by the older boy and awaited our fate.

I like CaraCara also.  They just opened up a Whole Foods here, I'll have to take a jaunt over there and see if I can find the Heirloom oranges.  I don't mind paying a higher price for something that's worth it. 

ps: Betty! find some blood orange vinegar and it makes a delicious homemade lower fat salad dressing

Have you made the dressing?  Like put in some honey, things like that? Throw in some strawberries?  It sounds good.  I'm horrible when it comes to salad dressing.  I'm not much of a fresh veggie person and like to drown the salad in bleu cheese; the thick chunky kind. I did actually buy some bleu cheese dressing the other day, made with yogurt.  Haven't tried it yet but I hope it was worth the price.

1) I cut my pineapple with a knife. (would you like a more detailed description? we DO have a gadget that will peel and slice pineapples (in rings! :).) that will most likely be used once and then be buried for eternity in your gadget drawer)

Yes! I love a landline!

You sound like me, always resistant to try something technologically new.  At least you know how to post pictures in your post. 

Truly though, skype is super easy to use.  I had to use it in a class I just finished to present a power point to my professor.  And if I can do it, anyone can.

As Jeff said, the sound is good, no delays, and I do use the webcam when I talk to someone else.  At least when I look presentable.

Both parties would have to be online in order to use it so, if not, do you have to "pre-call" and say "lets Skype"?
Or do you just make the call on Skype in hopes the person you want to talk to is already online?
(I know very few people who would reliably be online during most of the day)
Or... are these silly questions and my presumptions all wrong? ::)

Anyway, at least I learned how to post pictures online.

Skype has an instant messenger feature and gives you the ability to be on Skype with multiple choices of statuses , such as away or offline , invisible .

I love the fact that Skype is designed to be simple and easy to use .

According to their website Golden Corral can "Help Yourself to Happiness."

However, after reviewing their menu and nutritional info it should be rephrased to "Help Yourself to Obesity."

I had the non-pleasure of eating at a Ponderosa once (circa 1994) during a trip to Orlando.  Not only was the food nasty, but we were given some of the worst (and downright racist) customer service I've ever experienced in my life.  All of these crappy chains give "American cuisine" a bad name.

The first all you can eat buffet or "Help yourself to Happinness: (not) was in Spain in the 70's. apparently tourists thought it was Ok to eat like pigs when they were away from home, we didn't go back, but have been to a few better ones since then.

I actually like to be seated at a table and have my food brought to me by a handsome waiter..snobbish?, I don't think so, if you are going to pay for a decent meal might as well get the full service... ;)

BTW, because of the cold snowy morning I got up late, and I'm now sitting at the computer table with a steaming bowl of porridge with honey, made and served to me by my handsome hubby.    ;D

One person's crappy chain is another person's favorite spot.  I bet most huge chains make most of their money on frequent customers and I bet most people frequent chains they genuinely enjoy. Otherwise they wouldn't return, or they'd cook at home.

There were a few years in the 90's I self-styled myself as an artiste.  Nobody was buying that, so I was mostly quite poor.

I could enjoy passing the day on 20 dollars.  I lived in Brooklyn so there were the two subway tickets.  There was a cinemaplex in the pretentiously named hideous World Wide Plaza towers, over on 8th Avenue, just above the peep show stroll. They had 2 buck 2nd run movies. 

I had a just as broke as me friend who lived in a crazy small studio pied à terre decorated like a miniature Regimes. He paid little to no rent, some older queen (maybe the original decorator?) let him stay there. My friend had a huge schlong, and chain smoked.

The little jewel box was covered in "antiqued" mirrors, you know the one's with the gold veins, like Tom Ford used in his movie, A Single Man.  Very Hollywood Regency. And ultra suede leopard print covered custom banquettes/beds along the 3 walls (the forth was the window). 

We would meet on 8th and buy cheap snacks and cheap beer and go to the 2 buck movie in the afternoon.  It was a delight.  Then we might stroll and spend 2 bucks on tokens at the peep shows. Then we would get milk shakes at McDonald's because they were always on special price. 

Then we would go to his pad and screw. 

Everything was kind of seedy but also perfect -- cause for 2 bucks each we enjoyed these diverse experiences and delights.  Including the McDonald's shake which we couldn't really afford but it was worth the 2 bucks on a hot summer evening.

When I was in grad school in Connecticut, my (now ex-) wife and I would go to Ponderosa when we were too poor to eat out anywhere else.

I remember when the first Ponderosa opened in the Cleveland area and we started going occasionally. I'm talking 40-odd years ago. I remember liking their steaks because they were grilled on an open fire. The food seemed good to me, but I was a little kid.

But then within ten years or so (and more outlets opening), the food, service and over-all experience went down the pan. The last time I ever went to one (as an adult) the steak was like shoe-leather.

We had a Bonanza Steak house when I was a kid and they must have used lots of meat tenderizer because my momma used to scream bloody murder for my dad to drive faster to get home before she pooped her pants . Then we would go do it all again the next Friday .

After living in Chicago and San Diego for 10 years I found myself having lunch at the sizzler and took note that what I once thought decent enough food just didn't cut it anymore , but I can always make do with a salad bar when I have too .

That's what we do too. (although Kenny will sometimes order a steak on the rare occasion we eat out.)
He made a steak last night on "the big green egg" and it was perfect!
(I gnawed on a few bites with my back toothers)

modified to add: the steak was served with Stonewall Kitchen's "wasabi ginger sauce". Sounds weird but it actually was a great combo.

Tonight is chicken pasta salad night. Yum.

I spent ten days in France a few years ago - back when I was a lacto-vegetarian (ie dairy products, but no eggs or meat of any sort). If it weren't for cheese, my partner (also lacto-vegetarian) and I would not have had any protein the entire time.

I spent ten days in France a few years ago - back when I was a lacto-vegetarian (ie dairy products, but no eggs or meat of any sort). If it weren't for cheese, my partner (also lacto-vegetarian) and I would not have had any protein the entire time.

Sorry, but it was our truth - it was our experience. Vegetarian options were few and far between. Please understand that we did not go to Paris or any other big cities, we were mainly out in the countryside (in the Loire Valley), staying at small B&Bs and sight-seeing in small towns.

It was also nearly twelve years ago (we were there when 9/11 happened) and maybe things have changed a bit since then.

The Lufthansa flights to Newark however can be shady.  I've experienced a couple terrifying landings...
As for Customs, I wonder what would happen if they catch someone? Confiscation? Fine?  I always bring a load back to family and friends.   Brought cheese a few times, but industrially wrapped.

Scapes!
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: mitch777 on June 11, 2013, 08:19:27 am
we have a winner!
Habersham! :)

The basket full of garlic was my crop from last year.

The "scapes" in the prior pic are basically just the flower stalk that each plant produces.
You want to cut them off when they start to curl like a pig tail and before they bloom to send more energy into bulb growth.

Harvest time is July. Planting time is Sept.-Oct.

The nice thing is is that I chop the scapes into 1/4" pieces and put them in a freezer bag .
They have a mild garlic flavor and are handy to grab without all of the mincing.

Some restaurants put the scapes in salads but I find the raw texture disturbing.
I use them when cooking anything that calls for garlic. :)

Thank you for playing "Name That Thang" and your prizes, um, er....
well, there are no prizes.
I spent the prize money on ingredients to make my turkey garlic chili. :-[

PS- They don't taste anything like leeks.

farmers markets have them, maybe Asian grocers because they're used in some Chinese dishes -- they're like ramps, but ramps get more press because they're the first "green" item of spring. Also in June you can find "green garlic" which is simply immature garlic and looks like an overgrown scallion.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/dining/green-garlic-grassy-and-sweet-is-in-season.html?_r=0

There are also about a dozen varieties of garlics. When I went to the farmers market in France I saw amazing hues of purple garlic.

I'm going to use the scapes in a tuscan kale and apple salad, with a quince vinegar (http://www.bienmanger.com/1F3772_Vinaigre_Coing.html) based vinaigrette, that's a very special one for special needs. Then I'll use some of the rest for a mushroom salad with a basic balsamic dressing. I bet they'd be tasty with some scrambled eggs too. They're rather a bit like ramps-lite 2.0 so I could even make pesto.

Wow, so very....those peas look like they were dumped from a can, the blueberries look like something that might hang in Texas, and I am not talking about a tree, and those things that are supposedly strawberries, well, bless your heart for supporting your local farmers, sad as that might be. Oh the glory of living in Southern California!

That is what local strawberries look like in Germany, France, and Switzerland, too.
I dunno what you think you are getting in Southern California, but i guess its local "industrial" strawberries for the national and international markets.
If I want that kind of strawberry here in Switzerland, the berries come from Spain.  They are cheap. large, succulent looking, and vary i taste from a crunchy lightly sweet "fruit rind" taste, to "strawberry, but not sweet", to "wow, amazing!".   
And buying them puts locals farmers out of business.
And they come with a carbon footprint.
And pesticides....

Bon appetite.

I'm sorry -- but you can't compare the delicate sublime vegetables and fruits from the Amish in Lancaster County or the strawberries of southern New Jersey. Those strawberries in California are over-sized and sold year round at Walmart. U Jellz?

40 miles away and you've never gone. You know that this place is routinely featured on the Food Channel. Combine your day trip with a jaunt to whatever is showing at the Yale Art Gallery and it gives you an excuse to go.

We thought about it when we were in New Haven in February (doc appointment) but had already left the parking garage and they were still cleaning up from the blizzard. Traffic was horrible and on street parking was impossible.

Yes!  Pepe's makes great pizza. People often wait an hour or more outside waiting to get in.

(I've only been there once. Wish it were closer.)
There are SO many pizza joints in Connecticut. Most are pretty good. Maybe that's why I don't see many "chain" pizza restaurants here. The Italians and Greeks have the market pretty well covered.

A friend of mine who is from Dubai and going to school here in SA just texted me earlier and asked me where he could get a Lamb... I thought how cute, he wants a pet Lamb. But after further inquiry it turns out his family is in town and they are looking for a LIVE LAMB to butcher/EAT.  :( He wants it for Friday. I dont really know if he's muslim or if that even comes into play, but apparently they are going to butcher a lamb to eat on friday. I just hope they don't do it on the balcony of his swank Alamo Heights condo...not sure the neighbors would be cotton to that kinda nonsense  ;D

It's a bar where they have 2 singers on pianos on stage facing each other, you send up requests of (mostly bad) songs ad they take turns playing and singing them, the drunk crowd sings along. We requested Bad Bad Leroy Brown among others.

Well anyways, I love a good Saur Kraut (Im 1/4 German), and sometimes I get it in New Braunfels, Tx with a bright red sausage in it and I forget what they call it, but I love it.

Although I can be a rather "bad" german because at home I just pop open a can of Saur Kraut and throw some Hillshire farms smoked sausage in it. My Gran Gran used to make Saur Kraut in her kitchen, she had to ferment it or something. We all failed to get the recipe which was kept up in her thick german noggin, before she died.

Edited to add: I'm such a bad German that I cant even spell it correctly...It's sauerkraut
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: mecch on July 24, 2013, 02:41:18 am
Yeah my grandma was German and she would make the sauerkraut but more often than not with Kielbasa, which is Polish.
Here in switzerland we can buy all different varieties of fresh sauerkraut in the refrigerator section. There is pre-cooked, or raw, which takes awhile to cook, but its cheaper, and theres a kind with beets in it.
I like it and all the sausages too, but I can't eat a whole plate of it.

Fascinating, sign me up.

Current beef production methods not only are unsustainable, but production is pretty much at a max.  This would help the environment, reducing greenhouse gases, improving the health of the people eating it and of course, better for cows.

sounds like a win win win.

If the day comes we can't sustain cheap beef production, wouldn't there be enough real food that we could eat, instead of this beef simulation. Simulated food is for the most part not the answer. 
Beef will still be around it'll just be expensive again even for people in so called rich countries.

I was thinking the same but then I realized 100 years ago people probably would have been freaked out by a box of cake mix . I used to do some work at the NutraSweet plant and the kitchens were all beakers and test tubes with vats of chemicals for ingredients . The people that worked in the test kitchens were in white lab coats and wearing safety goggles , they were chemist , not chefs .   

Many of our food products are manufactured in bizarre ways , we simply don't know or dwell on it . I bet in a 100 years from now you will be ordering a double  ;) .

Aspartame hasn't been a wonderful addition to the grocery cart.

I also do not think that all lab created food products are bad and that in reality these kinds of foods are here to stay .

Many many years ago when I was working in a supermarket,  myself and some of my coworkers were in the stock room secretly eating ice cream sandwiches (the kind with two chocolate cookies on the outside and vanilla ice cream in the middle).   I can't remember the name brand.

A manager suddenly came in so we all flung them away so we would not get caught,  and he was none the wiser.

Several weeks later while reorganizing the stock room I came across the half eaten ice cream sandwiches and much to my amazement they were not only not moldy,  but they hadn't even completely melted (in a room temperature stock room).

I can't imagine the chemical engineering necessary to create a "food" that could do that.

Many eons back I used to stock the dairy isle in one of the major supermarkets in Florida.  After clubbing the night before till early in the AM, one Saturday morning I was so hungry while putting up some Yoplait yogurt.  I popped one open and started eating it.  Sure enough, I hear, "Hey Thomas, how ya doing today?".  I turn around and the store manager is standing right behind me.  I about pissed my pants.

I was a little relieved when he told me, "be sure to pay for that when the store opens".

My friend who used to work produce in a supermarket told me the other day that when eggs came in they would sometime be left days sitting on a pallet in the back without  refrigeration until they were put out . I guess they last a few days from under a chicken to the market without ill effects . I found it disturbing .

Eggs aren't refrigerated in any market in Switzerland.
By habit I put them in my fridge after I buy them. 
But they sit on the shelves unrefrigerated in markets til their sell date, which is weeks after the date they were laid.

I find it a little funny that people have a problem with this.  Yes it's grown in a lab but its still actual beef cells (meat).

We have a problem with this but we don't have a problem eating fluorescent orange Doritos or purple and green fruit loops.  What about cheez whiz? What about the fluorescent yellow/green Mountain Dew.

90% of the American Diet is made in a lab.  At least this is actual beef meat it's just made differently.

I have a problem with all those things (although I'm sure there are many other questionable things I don't have a problem with or haven't given much thought to).

Of course there's always this outlook:

This is why they are refrigerated in the US: http://www.thekitchn.com/is-refrigerating-eggs-necessary-176617

Like the writer, even when I purchase farm fresh eggs from a place like this (http://www.fairfoodphilly.org/our-work/fair-food-farmstand-2/) or a farmers' market I still stick then in the fridge.

Neither do I.  I wasn't speaking of you or anyone else here specifically.  I just find it funny in general some of the comments about this news story.  People have absolutely no problem eating and drinking things like:

High-fructose corn syrup,  citric acid, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, erythorbic acid, gum arabic, calcium disodium, EDTAethylenediaminetetraacetic acid,  brominated vegetable oil, and yellow 5

(The ingredients in a Mountain Dew)

Yet balk at the idea of eating meat grown in a lab.

Junk food(doritos and froot loops) and staples (Meat) are 2 different things wouldn't you say?

and yes, I do draw the line at meat in a Petri dish. You don't have to,  but I do.

M

I'm aware the burgers at Mcdonalds are sub par and not Angus, I wasnt saying they were::) But I buy Grass fed beef as much as I can afford. There just is no comparison Grass/versus grain. Grain fed beef is poorer quality because the cows digestive systems cant process the grain as well as the grass, although still tasty. I just this weekend purchases Angus beef for hamburgers (although not grass fed). Maybe the reason I am so outraged at this is my upbringing where we used to slaughter one of our own cows and have fresh beef for months, right off the land.

This is the first instance of Petri dish beef, They infer it doesnt even taste like beef, "but close". Even if they can improve it I doubt it will ever be as good as the Primo beef we can get off the hoof now. But I can agree that one day Lab grown meat will be th enorm, but hopefully it's about 50-100 years away

On the other hand, if when this becomes a feasible product, and the company brings on a name-brand "gourmet" chef and they develop some sort of final product that is alluring and could only be produced in the lab, i bet there would be a market. I could see it going either way.  Some sort of chic lab grown pâté, a la molecular cuisine, for the well-heeled, or lab grown "soylent" patties for the masses, and real beefburgers for the gated elite.

Brings up the question, If they take stem cells from a living Grass fed Angus cow or, will they get better quality "Petri-beef" than if they used run of the mill grain cattle? I suppose  the nutrients in the cells would be different for each type? And if so, couldn't they add in the better nutrients into the Petri dish and Voila! get Angus Prime from Stockyard cattle?

I never use bread crumbs. I admit they are delicious. But i can deal just in baked whole chicken, with skin, or sauteed skinless chicken, with whatever sauce I fancy that day.  I figure that sauce is better soaked up by rice or noodles.

When I crave bread, I eat it directly. When I crave oil, I dip crusty bread in oil.

A guilty pleasure in the winter is simple melted honey and butter, with light toast for dipping.  So fucking delicious.

I have friends who make delicious veges like breaded sauteed Brussels sprouts or mushrooms.

When I was a kid the Sicilians in my hood made all kinds of breaded fried veges.  I loved those fried zucchini flowers.   Also onion rings. Also breaded fried seafood. I never see these dishes in Switzerland and dont think about making them, maybe I should.

The Sicilians had two kitchens. There was the one in the house, for the mom, all perfect, and there was one for the dad in the basement, garage, or outside on the patio or under the porch.

Homemade breadcrumbs are delicious in a simple pasta dish like this (http://wellvegan.com/recipes/spaghetti-with-parsley-garlic-olive-oil-and-breadcrumbs), though I also add dried pepper flakes and when ramps are in season substitute them for the parsley and garlic. I frequently buy pain de campagne and save the ends in the freezer to make breadcrumbs.

But like you when I make chicken I prefer to roast a whole one, or just grill boneless breasts (though I should say "de-boned" as I remove the bone myself).

I like some melons also but have never heard of the casaba.  The only thing I read in your link that would give me hesitation, was the author saying it isn't as flavorful as other melons.  I don't eat honeydew because I don't think it has much flavor.  If this has less, I wonder what its flavor value would be.

Its raining tonight. This afternoon it was sunny so I washed two vintage (50s) swiss wool blankets and rinsed them xx times, they are clean!, and they are outside on the line. I guess I'll let them get rinsed by the summer rain tonight. They'll smell good in October when summer is gone.

Yep, Rumtopf is preserved fruit. Fruit, sugar, rum, and it marinates for months, but you keep adding new fruit as they come in season.

Today I craved and so ate franks and beans...  Delicious!
All the swiss organic stuff was on sale when I went to the market on Saturday.
I never noticed some of these products before. I bought these organic pastas
penne with amaranth
casarecce with buckwheat
smooth penne with quinoa
shells with spelt
wonder if it will be any good? I've had some pretty gross whole wheat pastas but also some delicious ones.

I have been using a pasta made by Dreamfield and it great for diabetics , I can eat a nice size portion and it doesn't budge my blood sugar . Its not a light as in texture as premium pasta but I love being able to have it and it not wreck my diet . Its also only about $4 a box .

I have lost 16lbs in one month and I'm down to 170 simply by tweaking my diet .

I had dried chamois meat to nibble on today at lunch at a colleague's house.
Its some kind of goat-antelope mix in the Alps.
(http://www.larousse.fr/encyclopedie/data/images/1309575-Chamois_en_troupeau.jpg)

My host said it was wild and had been cured in deepest Switzerland.

It was pretty tender and quite "musky".

We have cerf (red deer) and Chevreuil (not even sure of the translation), and boar, in the local supermarket but I never tried any preparation of chamois. A lot of the other mentioned animals are farm raised....

I have never seen Ibex meat. I see the animal sometimes.  I think its too wonderful looking and would feel quite odd eating it.

Reporting back on the Casaba melon.
Not so good. :P
The flesh was white with a blush of green. (lighter than a honeydew)
The texture was kinda like an overripe cantaloupe. A bit mushy.
It tasted like a mild sweet cucumber.
So, if you like mushy sweet cucumbers this is the melon for you. ;)

It would probably be ok mixed with other fruits but why bother.

Anyone have a recipe for a greenish soup that freezes well?  Split pea or something?

I'm making cannabis oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I prepared the canna butter the other day. 

For some reason, I got a sort of 1 2 3 Jello result this time.  Usually after chilling, there's a nice thick solid green fragrant canna butter on top, and useless water that I chuck. 

(https://www.icmag.com/modules/Tutorials/enjoyingrewards/1178_files/Btr30000.jpg)

But this time I got a thinner butter top.  A pudding-like soapy middle. And then the useless water...  I taked the pudding stuff and it was herby and a bit oily so Im assuming theres some TCH in it.  So i want to use the pudding stuff in some sort of herby soup....

Enjoying delicious (take out) Awadi Lamb Korma from Tiffin (http://www.tiffin.com/) -- mere blocks away at their new Federal Street location! Followed by a bowl of fresh peaches and strawberries, along with a bottle of cold pressed Corsican blend La Colombe Pure Black coffee (http://shop.lacolombe.com/products/pure-black-cold-brew) (made in lovely Filthydelphia no less!).

And yes, at $6 a bottle I only buy this a couple of times a year :) Oh, and ***this just in*** La Colombe is making their own upscale artisanal rum (http://philly.eater.com/archives/2013/06/12/la-colombe-rum-is-ready-for-prime-time.php). Will definitely have to try that out and give out as Christmas prezzies.

No way -- this other hipster coffee place Ultimo (http://ultimocoffee.com/) (which, natch, is mere blocks away) recently won #1 artisanal coffee house for the entire country. I also go to this place (http://www.shottowercoffee.com/) as well -- it's about 10 blocks away. But Elixr is my #1 hangout because it's near a lot of my doctor's offices, and a stone's throw from the Apple store on Walnut.

Oh, and trendy Joe's New York (http://www.joenewyork.com/) just opened a branch here last month. But the all time uber-cool place is this: http://www.bluebottlecoffee.com/ but it's only in NYC and San Francisco.

I think it's similar to swiss chard. Oh, and two bags of coffee beans -- Bolivian and Ethiopian.

No, we've not been on a date. Every time I see him he tells me to call to go out. I met him at a cook-out a year ago and that's when he told me his cock size.

Come to think of it I went out for coffee with another guy last month and he similarly told me twice that his cock was very large. I think my mutual friend Tom must be telling everyone that I am a size queen behind my back. Talk about ruining a lady's reputation.

Now you know that's just not possible.

That's for sure. :)

Anyway, the party was fun and everyone was down to earth. We brought Oliver due to his need for insulin. He tried to say hello to Paco (Jacques' pooch poodle) but Paco was jealous and snubbed him. :(

I was going to post some pics but the camera I bought in Chicago 2 weeks ago broke. (lens stuck open and could not download) ::) Will post after replacement.

The food was delish. Poached salmon and sides for the first coarse and a lamb eggplant dish for round two. Home baked bread from Charlie Vanover. Dessert was poached pears and ice cream with some kind of caramel sauce.  The weather was perfect.

Morley Safer joined in with his yellow tinted glasses. He lives in Chester and has been a customer of ours since year 1. I think he is in his mid 80's. A genuinely nice guy.

Lot's of characters that I have absolutely nothing much in common with and felt a bit out of place but enjoyed the day never the less. :)

I had one in Iceland 7 years ago at a gas station. I think it cost $10. Maybe more.

I won't eat them from those carts in NYC.

As far as the ABQ road trip we'll be stopping for lunch in Pecos, TX at Pody's BBQ (https://www.facebook.com/pages/PODYs-BBQ-/221542461232024) which is fully endorsed in the newly published Prophets of Smoked Meat (part of Anthony Bourdain's publishing line) thankuverymuch!

I was touring Wall Street about 5 years ago with my son, and we happened across one of those carts, and the Pakistani/Iraqi/Arabian guy manning it stopped us and gave us 2 free dogs with all the trimmings! Only after eating it all did I stop and think maybe it wasn't the best thing to accept a free hot dog from the cart run by the arabic man. But We are both still alive today  8) and it was purty darn good

A cart like this (and looks like same guy)

Well I wasnt sure which he was, that's why I used all them. "they all look alike"

To this day I dont know why he gave us free dogs. it was later in the afternoon so perhaps he was getting ready to shut down?

Today I opened a fresh bag of organic washed salad greens, added tomatoes and what not, dressed it, and discovered after a fork or two that there was also shredded thickish plastic in there.  Thicker than the thin plastic bag of the salad.

First time in awhile I've found something gross in my food.

(I know I shouldn't buy washed salad but there haven't been any scares around these parts. And when I buy a head of lettuce I rarely finish it and it takes up a lot of space.)

Now my favorite place which is in my vicinity has begun making them (http://philadelphia.foobooz.com/2013/08/29/you-know-what-this-town-needs-more-cronuts/). I'd been boycotting this trend because it was annoying, like twerking for foodies, but I may give in next visit and try one. Looks too large for me so I may need to force a friend to go with me.

O.M.G.... I'm like *so* there. I was a regular at Les Deux Gamins on Sheridan Square back in the 90's! Long since shuttered however. There's a place in Center City here that does $25 all you can eat steak frites (with choice of Bearnaise, Bordelaise, or Sauce Au Poivre Vert) and the fries are made in duck fat. Deal don't you think?

Well be careful. Im pretty sure they studied ONLY champagne, so it might be really only champagne, or maybe all  méthode champenoise wine. 
That would be champagne, cremant, cava, and franciacorta, and other bubblies that specifically state methode champenoise.

I'm perfectly happy if some bar or restaurant does a mimosa with champagne but most don't, and it can be considered a waste of a good bottle of wine.  Bellini used Prosecco and it might be considered pretentious to make one with champagne.  Cremant and Cavas are about as cheap as Prosecco so perhaps thats the solution.

Move over Chia Seeds...Hemp Hearts have arrived!

So I went to Whole Foods to get me some Peru Mineola Tangelos and a lady had her hemp table set up there and had me try some of these Hemp hearts. They are amazingly good! They taste a bit like sunflower seeds, but very soft. You sprinkle them on salads, in yogurts, on popcorn, or right out of the packet.

Anyways, the lady said they would change my life, so I am waiting patiently for the transformation.

I went to the upper middle class grocery store the other day. It was just convenient for where I was. Usually I go to the middle middle class ones or the discount ones. (There are luxury ones, as well of course. The kind you can only see in Switzerland and Japan and some major cities around the world.  You know a cantalope at 10 bucks that sort of thing.)

Anyhoo, for some reason (amazing weather this summer in Europe? bountiful harvests?) a good chunk of the organic produce was about the same price as the regular stuff, and it all looked succulent.  (Sometimes the organic stuff can look a bit old or withered.) 

Moreover, the produce was priced the same as the middle class grocer, or cheaper.

Maybe because its not a big chain, it could adjust prices faster because of the abundant supply?

Its really frustrating when the "Whole Foods" market is just too overpriced...

I hope the situation is changing fast now as more and more whole foods becomes available and more and more people want to buy it.

This is true. But here you can only find the good fruits at Whole Foods or Central Market. The fruits in the "regular" stores are at best mediocre. I'm willing to pay 2.99 a pound for some decent oranges, it's a guilty pleasure for me  :)

Since I had almost an hour to kill, decided to find something to eat.  Found a former Taco Bell (I think) that was transformed by the new owners into an authentic Mexican fast food restaurant.  It was neat, as it had a Subway store type setup.  You walk towards the register indicating your preferences.

I settled on a vegetarian burrito.  Rice, black beans...etc   Quite different than Americanized Mexican restaurants.  This next part made even the manager laugh.  The youngish employee asked me if I preferred chicken or beef on my vegetarian burrito.  I indicated that either was fine as long as it was the meatless variety.  She asked the manager if they had that.

While not "mere blocks away" there is a Whole Foods ten blocks away and I can't even recall the last time I went. I have too many better options.

Post by: mecch on September 06, 2013, 11:30:13 am
This is true. But here you can only find the good fruits at Whole Foods or Central Market. The fruits in the "regular" stores are at best mediocre. I'm willing to pay 2.99 a pound for some decent oranges, it's a guilty pleasure for me  :)

Im going to go more often to this store thats for sure. I used to go there all the time when I was in a couple thus "two salaries no kids".

The thing is, the produce quality is going down in the middle road two big chains in Switzerland.  Over just a few years its become considerably more pan-european and thus industrial, with the veges sourced wherever they are the cheapest in Europe.  When I first moved here, there were no hard discounters in the grocery business and the mass supermarkets were still locally sourced...

There is some produce you can buy in the cheapest two stores - that are new German chain arrivals - Aldi and Lidl. Its hit or miss and furthermore a certain group of people (middle class and/or politically correct) are shamed not to go there because of the labor practices...  If I ever brought a product to work, for example, some judgmental colleague is going to make a shaming comment and there's some truth to it.  Those jobs are supposed to be the worst of the worst as far as shop work in this country, right now.

Anyone in the US following and or supporting the Fast Food living wage movement??

Whole Foods is the new Walmarts of grocery stores.  Actually there is a battle now because the mayor is in a fight trying to prevent any more whole foods from being built in the city since they are non union and don't pay their employees enough.

Central market is nice but there aren't any in the city you have to drive to the burbs.

The best place for quality (especially produce) are the co-ops.  The main one here is PCC Natural Markets.  They are always filled with local produce.  You have to buy a membership but their quality is beyond pale.

No, I obtained this at a shop in the Italian market. I see on their web site though that nationally they are carried at Whole Foods. I think they started out several years ago as a vendor at the weekly Brooklyn Flea.

I have a bottle of champagne chilling a new cheapo brand I never saw before but I'm not going to drink it and Im not going out tonight cause I have to write something for work.  I just cleaned house for 4 hours and cooked basic pasta while watching a three part BBC documentary on the history of Berlin.  Which was fascinating.

When I was focused on being rail thin in my mid 20's I kept many varieties of pickles in my fridge. Pickles pretty much suck here in Switzerland and being somewhat central Europe I would expect otherwise... I'm sure the USA has the best and maybe only gourmet pickles in the world.

Those little French common cornichons are OK, though definitely not as good as a small batch USA pickle. You need to locate where Jewish people procure their pickles.

Love pickles!
Especially sour garlic dills but pretty much the whole gamut. I've tried some Polish dills that were pretty awful. Too sweet (for a dill pickle) and the "dill" was almost imperceptible.
I have always wanted to go to that great pickle place in NYC that you have mentioned a few times. I suppose I could splurge and order from them online but I would rather have a taste first.

Well yeah, so do I. My first apartment was across the street from Lombardi's Pizza on Spring/Mott and my second was a block west of Orchard. The pickle places were right below Delancey, but Guss closed a few years ago and moved to Brooklyn.

http://www.grubstreet.com/2009/07/guss_pickles_will_leave_lower.html

You've obviously not been to the Lower East Side in the past decade. It's not just gentrified, but hyper-gentrified. I lived there in the early 90's. There were other pickle places though, all barrel-cured over on Essex Street. This one is still there:

http://nymag.com/listings/stores/pickle_guys/

Brooklyn Brine is in Park Slope: http://www.yelp.com/biz/brooklyn-brine-company-new-york

These are big at NYC farmer's markets and have gotten a bit of press, and they also make a bloody mary mix with pickle brine: https://rickspicks.com/

My next visit up there I will go and try these Clinton Hill Pickles (http://www.yelp.com/biz/clinton-hill-pickles-brooklyn) because I heard they are amazing too, plus there's some ownership connection with the last people that ran Guss' (http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2013/03/market-tours-clinton-hill-pickles.html) -- NOT TO MENTION IT'S MERE BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY OLD BROOKLYN APARTMENT WHICH IS WHERE I STILL STAY WHEN I GO UP TO VISIT

They actually just closed one of our two Five Guys located downtown. Isn't that kind of unheard of? It was weird -- this one was always empty while the other one had a lot of foot traffic.

That said, now that we have Shake Shack here (http://www.shakeshack.com/location/philadelphia/) I think I will be switching my loyalties. The burgers are slightly better, slightly less greasy, and the interiors of the actual restaurant are much nicer. Extra credit for serving beer and wine... oh, and onion rings!

Cheeseburgers are OK.  But hamburgs with ketchup, mustard, and pickles.  Or hamburgs with lettuce tomato and fat slices of onion and creamy dressing, like tahini or yoghurt based dressings...  Who wants the cheese then.

The late summer crop of local plums is abundant.  These are the very dark oblong ones. 
Today i had a handful, so sweet, so fruity, and perfect texture.  They tasted like a million bucks, frankly.   Like the best jam. Like the best fruit jellies from the most luxurious old lady sweet shop in Zurich. Like plum gelato from some ancient gelateria on a remote island in the Venice Lagoon.

Do they tell you what kind of shrimp it is.

My mom tells me that Red Lobster does have a fresh fish available but you have to ask which one it is because it changes.

The consumer report TV show investigated shrimp a week or so ago. Travelled to vietnam and showed all the ways shrimp get to us. Bio.  Small farmers. Big producers..  Then tested all the shrimp in swiss groceries.  Dismal results....
I stopped buying farmed shrimp a few years ago because I heard it was iffy.  The tv report confirmed. 
I won't pass it up if its an ingredient in some sort of hors d'oeuvre but basically I figured what I liked most about shrimp was the sauces and what not.  So why not use an ingredient that is less iffy...

Envious of those who live by the sea or bayous and can buy real, fresh shrimp...

On that note, farmed salmon tastes like "salmon flavored mouse" to me. Which is tasty, somewhat... but again, im liking the bread, and the cream, cream cheese, or sauce. wild smoked salmon, you want it on a dry cracker, plain. Yum.

You have to investigate and buy from a place where you know the source. There are some new environmentally sound/sustainable farmed shrimp on the eastern shore of Maryland -- no antibiotics, etc. unlike what comes from Asian and South American farmed shrimp. Of course, some hipsters are raising this shrimp. And I saw it on TV too!

I was deluded! As already recounted here.  Alice Waters told me to take a walk. Stars offerred me a waiter job, which would of course have been a serious and stressful job but not what I wanted.  :-[  I preferred working and partying in the Mission...  Anyway I had my wake up call, without a culinary degree, my liberal arts degree was bupkis and SF started to get me down. I went to NY and got some suits and went to work for Credit Suisse First Boston. Then my boss told me banking was a poor choice and sent me to work in cultural philanthropy.  Then I was poor! So dated rich 30 something bankers who took me to the hot restaurants...

The only picture taken of a Chicago dog was of me trying to eat one. The toppings were falling all over the ground and I ruined one of my favorite shirts with mustard stains. >:(
Some of our lovely group pointed and laughed while others turned their heads away in embarrassment. A moment to remember. :)

When I last visited my in Laws , I had a very good burger with blue cheese and real potatoes ( not peeled ) cut into 3 in chips fried to an appropriate crispy texture with the potato white tasting off potato . The restaurant served as a take away also . The decor was primary Red and white and I think there where numbers in the name .

Also the green salad was not frozen to the point off tastelessness.

It appeared to be more popular with African Americans than White.

Name anyone ?

I am off to Gourmet Burger a London chain started by Australians , not  quite as good as the above and at least 3 times more expensive , but it does not have that why did I eat that reaction/ sensation after half an hour and they do remember to double up the blue cheese.

Good thing I suppose, otherwise your cupboards would be overflowing with baby dishes.



I drink my coffee out of a white ceramic mug with "50 and FAB" emblazoned on it, with its own matching coaster. It was one of last-year's birthday presents. I've decided I'm not having any more birthdays, so I'll still be using it after next Monday.

I admit to having an iittala fetish, and Scandinavian design in general. Remember, when I lived in NYC I worked in a very modernist boutique-style architectural office so the aesthetic rubbed off on me.

Anyway, iittala isn't cheap, but it's also not super expensive either. Plus it's stuff I bought when I was employed. And my plain white dinner plates aren't iittala they're some cheaper stuff.

I guess I should admit to owning the Stelton Arne Jacobsen designed coffee and tea set that retails for around $1500 -- but in my defense some of I bought at a flea market so it was used. Pictures upon request.

The Eames desk was purchased with money my grandmother left me when she passed away eight years ago, admittedly a splurge. When my parents pass away I will inherit my grandmother's massive set of china which I think she inherited from her mother so it's really ancient, plus I'm sure I'll get my mother's china and two silver tea sets and silver utensils etc. I doubt my sister-in-law will want much of it as she already owns tons of stuff from when they got married. I won't know what to do with all of this stuff and I'd feel guilty going to an auction house (or will I?) Maybe my two nieces will want it all.

Do you host dinner parties for 12?  If not, dont feel guilty, sell all that china for the most you can get. Give it to cousins or give it to some "ladyish" friend - Little Britainesque "ladies" included. 

As for silver, its nice to have some silver cutlery. Also silver soup ladles, serving forks, thats fine.  That is already a pain in the ass because it must be polished. I have french restaurant silver plate, those huge forks and huge soup spoons, its weighty, pretty, feels nice in the hand. Not fancy at all.   

Anything silver for serving, platters, tea sets, vases, etc, isn't worth the effort IMO and not what a man wants in his house. I guess if it was especially gorgeous, colonial or art deco but I would try to sell that too.  I figure if someone else is going to enjoy it and use it, its better to put it back into the world in circulation.

This conversation makes me remember some uber 80's stuff I had in NY.  I was bored on my lunch hours and would tour around the back room bargain shelves B. Altman's etc.  I remember this set of cristal stemware that was super Memphis. It dated fast I was embarrassed after 2 years to own. I mean how fast did Memphis bloom and die...

But as they say, everything old is new again. It would be funny to see it still around somewhere.  Also have the habit of abandoning everything when I moved somewhere new. I left all my 80's household and wardrobe in Brooklyn in summer 89 when I dropped everything and spilt in the matter of 3 weeks when i got a scholarship go study in another city.  Then in the 90's I was back in Brooklyn and collected a household of crap again. Next time I left, I put it all on the street in a sidewalk sale and made 2 grand. I was astonished!

Since I like junk shops, thrift stores, stoop and garage sales, not only as a source for my own needs, but just to appreciate what is around, there is an endless supply of interesting crap wherever I go.

Course now more than a decade into Ebay, etc, all this stuff is more easily collectible, or collectible at all, and prices have risen and people make it their jobs comb thrift and flea markets to sell it online.   
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: Miss Philicia on November 01, 2013, 02:57:24 pm
My grandmother's china was so fierce that she NEVER used it. When I was a child I'd get her to pull it out of hiding in the +100 year old secretariat (which I will also inherit) -- the set even has special bowls for oatmeal, aside from the soup ones. And there are many huge serving platters. The decoration is kind of minimal purple floral -- definitely not my style but I was very close with this grandmother that I'd find it hard to sell.

But then I don't see myself living in a place large enough to hold such things and have dinner parties, though back when I had a healthy income I indeed had a lot of dinner parties. My grandmother's "secondary china" I'd have no trouble getting rid of, but my mother may have already auctioned that off. When they sold the farm and auctioned a lot of her stuff off that was when I was in one of my emaciated wasting periods and wasn't up to being in southern Virginia in a house with no air conditioning, so my parents had to do it all which to this day I feel guilty about.

Oh, she also has these amazing silver water goblets and ever since I was a child I liked them so much my grandmother always said they would be mine when she died, and don't you know that my mother took them, saying I could have them after her :) ha ha At least I make her use them when I am home for the holdidays.

She also had a set of amazing pink crystal wine glasses and cordials, and several platters -- very very femme but beautiful, and my sister-in-law got those. However I do have two candle holders from that set. I have a set of art deco looking wine glasses and small relish trays from my grandmother but they are NOT lead crystal, just glass.

Oh, and I have a great +100 year old chest of drawers. Supposedly it's to always be handed down to the oldest girl of each generation, but my mother just stuck in the basement so I took it. I'm not the oldest girl, but I guess sucking cock kind of qualifies me.

Those pig tails were to die for. I'll definitely go back for those. I didn't care for the snails being fried, I would have preferred them the traditional French way. But they do great things at this place unlike I see elsewhere -- can you imagine a mortadella hotdog with cabbage relish?

By rarefied I meant as in acquired tastes.  Oysters.  Really like eating them but they are just below gag producing. Everything is great - the shells, the smell, the animal, opening them, watching the little hairy bits shrink back from the lemon, trying to keep the water, the bubbly I get to drink.  I haven't gagged since I was a kid but there is always a sort of pregag. 
Exactly the same with snails.  (Sea snails are an excection however.)
And any organ meats. Though pigs tail isn't organ meat. I'd say liver pate is the only offal that doesn't come with a pre-gag and that's because its so far far removed in texture and appearance.
Title: Re: Nutrition, Wumpette Style
Post by: Miss Philicia on November 03, 2013, 09:36:45 am
I came to enjoy raw oysters a bit late in life -- not until my 30's. I love them specifically with a mignonette layered over them. I've never had a problem with snails. I'm sure I must have had those the first time I went to France and that was when I was 15.

Offal is hit or miss with me -- I've still not mastered enjoying duck hearts or any kind of liver, except foie gras. But I love things like sweetbreads and bone marrow. And I ate calf's head in France back in May and it was simply one of the best dishes I've ever had.

It sounds delish! Never knew Mexicans had an issue with garlic. Hopefully they will forgive you for your faux pas. :)

I don't think they are against garlic per se, but the lady who used to clean my moms house years ago would start cursing in spanish when my mom put the garlic in, and my mom would start screaming back "I dont understand yooouuu!!" .

Caldo de Pollo is an authentic mexican soup that originated in the hills of interior Mexico and was originally cooked in large beat up old pots over an outdoor wood fire.

Thus, my cheap ass pot is paying homage to the roots of de Caldo.

But afterall what would a silly yank know about such things.

I always enjoy these age old dishes where the economy off the ingredients is matched by the reduced cooking facilities.

Friends in Orkney treat me to "beef " N " broth , which makes the most amazing soup.

I have never made it so this is an eaters deconstruction.

Lump off Boiling Beef
Swede/parsnips,leeks/onions/ pearl barley /
This is prepared in the morning and left on low heat all day. I Guess so all members off the house can be out working.  So come supper time. A pan off boiling Potato , s is put on , the beef is is taken out placed on a draining trivet and the soup is served. This soup is the sort off food that you would dream off after any time spent freezing cold it coats the tube to the stomach with warmth . By the time you finish the soup ,the beef is carved , the potatoes buttered and as many   pickles as your larder has are placed on the table.

It is the best.

In the 80s' this was just a bit winky winky because you'd only see a dozen or so guys in white bucks a day.  It was delicious in anyone under 30.  We all thought it was awful queeny preppy or just douchey straight preppy on a 30+ year old man. In the city... Like bow ties. Under 30, over 50.

I made some the other night. But then I pulled the meat off the bone, chopped it up, and drizzled it with vin cotto which is an ancient Roman version of balsamic -- very Capri!

I encourage everyone to stock this gem! (http://www.amazon.com/Gianni-Calogiuri-Orange-Vincotto-250/dp/B001V707J0) The one I use has a hint of orange, but you can see it comes in the original plain and then other versions. It's a very versatile finisher for grilled and roasted meats and fish.

In Orkney while I am not here the traps go out ,one winter while I was away it took 2 friends 4 days to clean the place and I lost bedding and a one off woollen blanket made by a friend on her loom.

That's kinda gross. Sure its a mouse?  How many nuts could one itty bitty mouse eat? 
Mice on tables and countertops seems possibly dangerous, besides.

I lived on the third floor in an old house in a leafy college town one summer.  there was a rickety fire escape. Left window open figuring why not.  Squirrels came in. A squirrel in the apt is a nasty creature.  Then a family of raccoons - mama and pups.  How raccoons scaled the fire escape?  A+ for effort.

Had a snake on my brick wall in my kitchen in Brooklyn one time. 4th floor.

Well actually the day before I noticed about half of the nuts were eaten. thought it might have been a Kenny Mouse. (don't worry, I didn't eat any. *whew!*) The following morning they were all gone. Disinfected the kitchen.

I know. Gross! The trap is set. Guess they got more adventurous this year. Usually they stay under the sink and chew on plastic bottles or similar goodies. I stuffed steel wool in the tiny opening around the sink drain pipe but they are tricky little devils. Mighty Mouth Mouse. >:(

I ventured out earlier to get some Carpet cleaner and Ben 'n Jerrys Ice Cream.

I lingered at the ice cream case staring at the pint of Ben and Jerrys "Americone Dream", I knew if I bought it I would eat the entire pint in one sitting, there is no will power where Ben n Jerrys is concerned. None.

I picked it up and looked at the calories and put it back in the case and told myself I should just leave the ice cream and go home and drink my Acai Berry Juice instead. ::)

I walked away.

I stood in line and when I finally got to the register the lady in front of me forgot to give the clerk her coupon so the clerk was trying to give her cash( 50 cents) for the coupons...which of course requires a manager...and of course said manager was nowhere to be found. I waited 7 minutes, and became so upset I left line and went back and got my pint of Ben and Jerrys "Americone Dream"

I deserved it.

I ate it all in one sitting.

I feel guilty and ashamed now.

This is why I'd just been to Joseph's Tailors to have two suit pants altered by one size larger -- have a fancy event to go to in early December and must look sharp. Hope I don't go up another size over Thanksgiving when I pick up the pants or I'm screwed.

I ventured over to the coast yesterday to take mother to her dermatologist.  Afterwards we treated ourselves to an oyster roast.  The little shrimping town of Calabash has several small and very reasonable restaurants along the waterfront so we found ourselves there enjoying some local steamed oysters.  I will say that fish sticks were almost a weekly event when we were growing up.  My older brother and I would dip them in ketchup and GO TO TOWN!

My Dear... an oyster roast is when you take fresh oysters (yes... just scooped up from the muddy inlets or creeks), clean them off nicely,  then prepare them for eating.  Roasting can loosely mean steaming them too... kinda all falls in the same category.  Its a common term used in the region where I currently live.  Hot sauces, melted butter, whatever your pleasure is provided to kick them up a bit.  Of course for optimum effect, one would eat them outside on a cool fall or winters day. 

http://www.southernliving.com/food/entertaining/oyster-roast-00417000070927/

I shared a 'half roast' with my brother and ordered a side of shrimp cocktail.  YUM!!!

PS- half roast just means a smaller amount.... does not imply they were cooked any less.  lol

When I lived in Virginia we used to go to clam bakes on the Chesapeake and I used to wonder why they called it a bake because nothing was baked .

I guess it sounds more appetizing than a boil and easier to spell than bouillabaisse .

I don't have much of a sweet tooth these days.  I crave sandwiches from the middle-eastern all-night eateries in the red-light district in Geneva.  Good atmosphere.  My favourite has really fresh and honest ingredients.

So much for the Thanksgiving feast.  I've hosted 2 here and been to 2 but just too swamped at work these days. 
In honor of the holiday I did lessons today about Thanksgiving debunks, American consumer culture, Black Friday, Walmart political economy, clips of South Park Black Friday and Youtube clips of the stampedes, the donate food for Walmart worker bins, Black Friday sales pdfs, (they marvelled at the cheap prices...), and then we started my annual Christmas movie viewings.  Once class opted for Elf and the other for Bad Santa. I LOVE bad Santa because its very rich material and the guys all love the vulgarity and scathing satire.. But it is very very dark and have to be careful not to offend women, and anyone's possible delicate sensitivity, not ready to watch with critical distance. It was made by a Dutch director and is pretty on point. Elf is OK. 
I've done Christmas Story, too.  One class almost said OK for B&W - Christmas in Connecticut or It's Wonderful Life.  That was encouraging...

I/we had a great Thanksgiving this year. Hope you all had fun. Just Kenny, my best friend of over 35 years and myself.

Turkey, sausage cranberry apple sage stuffing, mashed potatoes/gravy, snap peas from our garden, Waldorf salad, cranberry/orange relish, wine and a bit more wine. :)

Watched the end of the Macy's parade and then the Westminster Dog Show. (I was routing for the Schnauzer and even more for the Irish Water Spaniel although the whole spectacle is pathetic in a way.) Here are a bunch of humans passing judgment on how the dogs measure up on the "perfection" scale but the handlers and judges fall far beyond the so called human "perfection" scale. LOL. Still nice to see happy pouches strutting their stuff.

Typing this in bed and going off to a deep and floating slumber............

Happy Thanksgiving one and all! :-*

I had organ meat last night, and not the kind I like.  I gorged on oven baked dressing and later was  told that it had cut up chicken innards in it.  It was actually tasty, but of thought of it is gross.  :P

Other than that, we had a decent turn out and had a great time.  Hosting a dinner for such a large group is tiresome.  Luckily, I was allowed to bring my own holiday spirits since they don't carry cheap white wine.   ;D

Has following MissP's pretentious facebook posts about her snooty dinners got you feeling a bit unworthy?

...Has all her praddling on about Chai Tea infused Maple Syrup, Artisinal Stone Ground Corn Meal or milk from Monk-milked cows got you feeling inadequate?

Dont worry, because here are some revisions to those uppity recipes made just for us normal folk..

I had the BEST ravioli last night.  We went to Bistro 27 - mere blocks from Miss P's alma mater.
They make their own pasta, fresh, on site.  Mine was stuffed with pear and brie and covered in an almond butter sauce.  It was out of this world.

Sid had an amazing duck breast in a fresh strawberry sauce.  He was a bit reluctant about the sauce, but the waiter raved about it, so he tried it.  He was VERY glad he did (I abhor duck myself, so I can't attest to the veracity of his review).

Next time you are in Richmond, Miss P -- be sure to try Bistro27.  On the corner of W. Broad and Adams St.  http://bistrotwentyseven.com/ (http://bistrotwentyseven.com/) 

I'm sure that some of these recipes will be showing up at Shoney's and Golden Corral shortly....   ::)

My lastest eating out find in Clapham does not have a Web presence.
It,s has 20 or less places and only main 4 noodle and dumbling dishes. Its an off shot off an even smaller Cafe with in the wonderful Brixton Market and that little cubby hole is the off shot off the family restaurant in Peking , all selling the same dishes. I had Beef noodle Brothe and it was delicious.The beef fell apart in the mouth and the broth had so many rich flavours , faultless to me. The price with a Small Pot off Green Tea approx $24 /14 quid. And that qualifies as very Good find . I will jot the name down tomorrow . Its opposite Clapham Common Tube north side entrance/exit with the Mini Cab office above.

I would die and go to heaven if there were a NY calibre basic wholesome warming noodle shop in Switzerland.  Ditto - authentic Indian, London calibre.

In another life I would open such joints.  But, would they be a hits?  People are accustomed to their ways. Anything sadder than a dying restaurant that deserves success....

Direly missing:  real meaty succulent sandwiches.

missing: cheap & real: chinese, vietnamese, indian, mexican, bbq, steakhouse, boho vege, polish, ukranian, ethiopian.
I know fair to awful restaurants for some of these cuisines and all grossly overpriced.

color me jealous.

Well at least I have my mid eastern.

Can get a decent fondu anywhere of course.  And average to good french bistrot.

If I am right , you will need a <mincer> to put the cooked Turkey through , then you continue as in any loaf preparation. If your Father is like my relatives in the 65+ bracket meat cannot be cooked enough, and vegetables should be boiled to the moment before they disintergrate, you would get more nourishment from the water the veg is cooked in at some off my relatives tables .

[1905]
Formal dinner at 8PM (p. 6); "Formal luncheon is served as a rule at one, half-past one, or two o'clock--not later than the latter hour, lest it spoil the guest's appetite for dinner." (p. 36-7); "The modern supper is not, as a rule, the first and foremost object of an evening's entertainment, but is usually an adjunct to some other form of festivity, such as a theatre or card party, or reception. Among the exceptions to this are the so-called game, wine, and fish suppers, popular among the "men-folk." Suppers are of various degrees of formality--from the delightfuly informal chafing-dish "spread" to an affair scarcely less elaborate than the formal dinner...there is no variation from the general rules applying to those features of the formal dinner...[no specific time recommended ] (p. 42-43); .....
In America the six-o'clock dinner prevails very generally, and the "Five o'Clock Tea" custom has gained comparitively little foothold; it has been adopted by the leisure clases, and is also popular with the college girl, the bachelor maid, the artist, and the so-called Bohemian circle." (p. 53) ---Consolidated Library of Modern Cooking and Household Recipes, Christine Terhune Herrick [R.J. Bodmer Company:New York] 1905 , Volume 1: The Modern Hostess

In sum, American families in this period could be eating breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner (wealthy, priviledged), supper

So supper is after dinner, after the theatre, opera, or cards :)
Thus, supper clubs...

Mere blocks away (as in two blocks) I've mentioned the newly opened/revamped Boots & Saddle (http://www.bootandsaddlephilly.com/) hipster club, which also has a back room for live performances. However, the front bar area is a separate hopping space that I recently visited last month, but at the time they were not yet offering a food menu. Well, now they are but it's not just some podunk brewbar grub, but top notch offerings that just got a lengthy raving review from our local City Paper (http://citypaper.net/article.php?The-menu-at-the-revamped-Boot-Saddle-is-at-risk-of-outshining-the-booking-18113). I can now hop up the street for a serving of braised beef cheeks rest on smashed celery root... my life is now forever changed. :P

And in other news, eight blocks north it's now been officially revealed (http://www.philly.com/philly/business/20131217_47-story_hotel_condo_building_set_for_South_Broad.html) that the ritziest yet luxury hotel/condo 40 story building will start construction next fall and be completed by 2016 -- this will change that entire area in a huge way.

I pissed my therapist off today by asking if he was "Indian" (due to the large dream catcher hanging on his wall), I was quickly rebuked and informed that "he was native american", and further was informed that there was a big difference between a dot and a feather.

I then asked if he was Commanche, I should have stopped while I was ahead.

anywhooo, I stopped by Popeyes and got me some chicken, and then went by my neighborhood bakery and aquired an oversized Belgian Chocolate Chip Cookie.

I'm attempting to fatten up for winter.

The chocolate "bar" (e.g. counters) at Blondel in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Its mostly just slabs of all different kinds of house made chocolate. They break off pieces and weigh it. 

No fountain required.  No matter what your preference, it all tastes like chocolate, not sugar, fat, and wax.

That looks awesome . I am guessing its better than the Fanny May or Russell Stover chocolate I have had .

Most chocolate feeds the the soul and one's feelings.
Sometimes I just want the double creme milk chocolate because its heaven.

But its the dark chocolate that has the most real cocoa that brings the health benefits.
I've heard that 60% isn't really enough.

For pleasure I can get with 66% up to 80%.  I always buy it with whole nuts inside because I like the mixture and nuts are healthy too.  That's usually 70% dark.

85% an 90% - well I'll eat it but its not a sugar fix thats for sure - you appreciate it the way you enjoy other strong foods and liquids, like espresso, whiskeys, revolting cheeses, dark fermented asian thingies, etc.

Blondel is great. Its so expensive I don't go there very often. They have amazing chocolate dipped fruit. Every swiss city many shops that produce their own chocolate.  But the supermarkets have good mass market brands and some of these are easy to find in the states.   

I buy good mass market stuff and usually on sale. Also I buy the huge bars of it, cause I figured out I am less piggy with a huge bar than a normal bar, which one is tempted to eat entirely. I also very much like huge bars of the good baking chocolate, and I know there is similar in the States, like the 70% Bittersweet Ghirardelli.

Course, I like very sugary candies too, from the real bakeries, like perfect fruit jellies, toffees, caramels, truffles, and such, or macarons.

In the winter I do crave the simple dark chocolate fix mostly everyday just like coffee. 

When I started coming to Switzerland in the 80's and 90's I noticed that many young people in school would have chocolate and bread for a snack.  There is pain au chocolate of course, but many kids would pull out these smallish bars of chocolate and slices of bread and that was the snack in the morning at school. 

Eating habits and what people eat, how they eat, always changing.  I don't see it as much plain bread and chocolate anymore.  Also there was NO take-away coffee until very recently.  Now everyone has a cell phone in one hand and a coffee in the other.

The consumer reports tv show did a report on takeaway coffee and the results were NOT pretty.

Its christmas time and all the supermarkets have their christmas food special promotions. I broke down and bought a big pack of bio smoked Irish salmon because the price was so attractive.  I say broke down because I figured out that I only really enjoy wild smoked salmon, not farmed salmon.  Thankfully, there is one discount supermarket that does stock wild salmon at a reasonable price.  Well, dummy I should have listened to my gut. This bio salmon is mushy... Blech.

I actually enjoy dark chocolate quite often, at least a few times a week. Right now I am working on Ghirardelli Midnight Reverie 86%...

This is NOT your dads Hershey bar! It's a pretty stout taste, and not enjoyable unless you nibble it slowly. I can only do one square in a sitting.  It's rated pretty good for antioxidant flavanols. If I really want to pamper myself I have a bit of Merlot with it  ;)

I've tried I think a 92 or 96% cacao and frankly I could not get it down, even with a heavy wine.

Also, Ms P is correct about seeing the butcher (wasn't that in this thread), to get different cuts of meat.  I shopped at the local (read NOT A CHAIN) supermarket, with locations only in Southwest Michigan and Northcentral Indiana.  I got a nice New York Strip roast from the butcher counter.  Will be cooking it probably after the first of the year.

You are so plebeian it pains me sometimes, even beyond the usual tedious qualities.

Final result, 4 hours -- topping of grated Grana Padano cheese. It was so good I ate TWO servings, which I never do. And my Côtes du Rhône paired perfectly with it (I also used half the bottle in the recipe... not cheap wine for my cooking!) fyi though this takes four hours to make it's perfect for a dinner party. Plus short ribs are a reasonable meat in terms of price though go to a butcher to avoid those measly supermarket ones that have barely any meat on them.

Then I had a run-in with a testy lady at the 8th Street subway token booth and folder her very loudly to GO FUCK HERSELF. That was only the second time I've exploded at a stranger in public, the other being a decade ago in NYC inside of upscale Jefferson Market -- but that time I added "And don't bother with any faggot comment because this fag will read you for filth!"

Questions:  what kind of fork is that?  What is the plate?

Tangent: Knorr.  German masters of dried foods.  I was pretty surprised when I moved to Switzerland how much the Swiss accept dried foods in their daily diet.  I guess it was the antithesis of my foodie coming of age in the late 70's, 80's so I always avoided these products. 

I kept it up here over the years and never buy the Knorr products but about a month ago I saw these really fat pouches of instant one-serving soup being promoted. I couldn't get over how heavy one pouch was - how could all that make one cup of soup?  How could all that dissolve in a big mug of water? Well, it did and it was delicious.  Thick, and real tasting.  Still, probably not healthy. But in a pinch, at work...

Now return visits to shops and I can't find the same product again.  Must not really be launched yet?

Ah so Knorr is German eh? Here's what I used and I see it says "formerly Lipton" although I never remember Lipton having this line of product.

Anywho, I wipped up a bag of this, stirred in some fresh baby spinach and halved cherry tomatoes (Campari of course), and 1 pound of shrimp.

and no Missp I did not get the World Renowned TExas Gulf Shrimp because it was like $17 pound, and why throw the worlds best shrimp into Alfredo? Amirite? So I went with the Frozen bag of $9/pound shrimp.

If the "loaves" are well done, why not? Im sure a lot of these recipes could be updated to 2014 foodie level, or semblance. 
In Switzerland (and much of europe, or just francophonie?) we have tons of different layered and flavoured "patés", and they make one I like its layered "mousses" - very pretty, you put a slice on toast and heaven...

And when was the last time anyone ate something in aspic?  But here in switzerland we have a muffin looking thing. IF it is well done (big IF), the crust is flakey.  Inside there is meat paté and aspic!  The aspic is great but best when its room temperature, of course. Or even slightly melted...

In the early 90s I saw a few times a bagel pervert in the peep show / glory hole booths in Times Square. He was an Hasidic Jew in full regalia, and he'd be bare-assed sitting on the floor, with a brown paper bag of bagels and he'd lick them and rub them on his face and crotch, and say in a very Brooklyn Hasidic accent "Want a bagel?"

No worse than the creep at the Eagle that hung out at the entrance to the men's room with an open can of Coke and would ask hot guys to piss in it so he could have something to drink all night.

Those Time Square places were swarming with Puerto Rican trade, but you'd have to put up with the constant smell of bleach.

There are some Korean places downtown, but Koreatown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreatown,_Philadelphia) is way, way, WAY far away from me on the border of the city and Montgomery County's lower southeast suburbs. I should coax someone with a car to go exploring, but I can't think of one that doesn't have more of a meat & potatoes palate.

There is a Thia place in Montgomery that I love . They have some similar dishes as the link I provided . I like Lek's restaurant because they let you customize any dish you want .

I love the veggie spring rolls, the ones that are not fried . I sometimes get a plate of those with peanut sauce and a big dumpling in broth and call it dinner . It just enough and doesn't make me want to take a nap when I'm done .

How about "The Ten Worst People to take to a restaurant on a date."


That would be the guy that took me to TGIF's Time Square Location on our first date, in his huge Jeep. The restaurant selection on his part was a deal killer to begin with but I thought I'd still get laid, but it only went downhill. He was one of those atrocious people that treat waitresses badly, complained about everything, and then validated himself by leaving a one dollar tip. Once we left the restaurant I said I'd left something at the table, went back inside, apologized to the waitress and tipped her appropriately.

He drove me home and I said "Thanks, bye!" and never called him again.

I dont have many dates recently.  Im going to change that this year and make more effort.
I have this fuck buddy who I also quite like so asked him out to dinner last year.  Just to see whats up.  I still like him after the very awkward date so keeping him as a fuck buddy.
So on the date he was difficult and nonsensical at the restaurant and didn't seem to pick up on any of the normal social negotiations that we go through to make it pleasant for everyone. He wasn't purposely an asshole but at his age one would expect the ability to "make it go smoothly".
Come to think of it, as a fuckbud he's good at doing one or two things but not all that perceptive or spontaneous. 
Regarding the posted list, its silly really because if I were lucky enough to be on a date with a swell guy, I could give a shit he orders garlic or gets sauce on his shirt.

Its all about the vibes and the charm.

If you think those dolls are creepy (I know I do), you'll probably think so-called "living dolls" are even creepier. I watched a documentary (Secrets of the Living Dolls - C4) (http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/secrets-of-the-living-dolls-channel-4--tv-review-9042439.html) last week about them - it was horrifyingly fascinating.

While I would defend those men's right to do what they do, I also defend my right to be creeped out by it. ~shudder~ I suppose I might feel different about it if I knew someone personally who was into the living doll sub-culture, but if I ran into someone on the street or pub in one of those get-ups, it would make me uncomfortable to say the least.

BTW, there didn't seem to be any sexual overtones to what they did, and all the men interviewed were straight and most had partners and families.

I'm sure you will hate my recipe but the mix consisted of veal, pork, beef, hot turkey sausage, garlic, onion, yellow pepper (that you must have mistaken for cheddar), Parmesan, parsley, oregano, olive oil, egg, and store bought bread crumbs, and a titch of water, S & P.

I browned them in a skillet (not cast iron) and then finished them off in the oven.

They were delish.

Best. Yogurt. Ever.

Siggi's, Icelandic style strained yogurt.

It is so Good, first time I've tried it. Its even thicker than the greek yogurt. I can only find it at Whole Foods here. It's $2.19 so a bit more than Dannon Oikos, but so worth it. This is the blueberry which is my fave flavor of yogurt, but I bought the coconut to try also.

It's pretty good, does Siggi's even make a bad flavor? This one leaves a slight heat/fire on your pallette but otherwise you cant taste jalapeno.

Coconut Siggi's is still my fave.

Time for me to get busy tomorrow -- Guilhermina will still be throwing back the same slop at the the Egyptian-Persian Taco Shack while I have my pick of:

La Calaca Feliz: Chiquita Margarita
2321 Fairmount Avenue, Fairmount

Cantina Dos Segundos: Skinny Girl Margarita
921 North 2nd Street, Northern Liberties

Tequilas: Skinny Margarita
1602 Locust Street, Rittenhouse

El Vez: La Flaquita Rita
121 South 13th Street, Center City

Taqueria Feliz: Chiquita Margarita
4410 Main Street, Manayunk

however, my money is on the Ranstead Room, 2013 Ranstead Street -- the elitist speakeasy with no sign on the door or even a web site though there's always yelp (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-ranstead-room-philadelphia), entrance through a back alley... gritty, urban.

I decided to make Cheddar Broccoli Chicken soup today. I saved some small florets to put in at the end but wanted to puree the celery, onions, and most of the broccoli.

Went to grab the immersion blender and the cord was caught on something in the cupboard. Silly me kept tugging. Turned out it was caught on the blade of the mandolin.  :(

Kenny is bringing home a new one.

To be topped with scallions and croutons. (yes, the croutons are homemade but slightly overcooked. lol)

Oh Good -- a nice, low sodium, kidney friendly meal!!!   ::)

You do know that swimsuit season will never be the same if you end up with a large scar around your abdomen, right!!!

If not for you -- eat better for the adorable little munchkin princess of yours.......  She wants grandma to see her graduate!!

When you want sauce with steak, what sauce?
I had a simple rib eye, home fries, and red wine tonight.  I wanted sauce not catsup. I put on my plate - sweetish tangy german mustard, pretty spicy mango chutney, and whipped butter with wasabi.  I loved the mango chutney - is that weird?`

The only time I find any kind of sauce on a steak acceptable is something like an au poivre, Béarnaise, Bordelaise, but of course those are a fuss to make and best done at a restaurant.

At home what I do with a good quality rib eye is after grilling, let it rest for a few minutes, sprinkle with sea salt and some fresh pepper, then finish by dribbling a good balsamic vinegar on top. This is more of northern Italian way to serve steak.

For skirt/hangar steak which is, of course, a cheaper cut of meat -- but does great with citrusy marinades in a Latin style.

I love a good Horseradish cream sauce on a steak, but it's hard to find a good one, and I've yet to try to make it at home.

But a good steak really doesn't need any sauce.

I do have a bottle of A1 in my fridge though. rarely ever used.

I have been on a blue cheese kick for some reason.  Just crumble some really good blue cheese on a charcoal grilled steak and I am happy!  I don't overcook the meat so the natural juices and the blue cheese with some coarsely ground salt/pepper are really all I do.

Not me.  I do a medium rare for me.  We have a family member who likes them tough and dry and it 'kills' me to watch a good steak burn like it does to meet that requirement.  Hell, I love a good Japanese Steak Tataki but only from a reputable place.

While dining the bells and whistles went off and a monster sized bottle of tequila came down from the ceiling out of what I guess was supposed to look like an ice chamber of sorts. It poured out into a 7' pitcher with lots of bubble action. lol.

That's fairly comparable to what we pay for eggs on the Rock. I think our "10 budget" deals are from Engerland though, rather than anywhere on the EU mainland. Local eggs always cost a bit more than eggs from "across" but I do try to buy local when it comes to food. If we don't support our local farmers and they all go belly-up, we're going to be in big trouble if there's ever a weather or ahem "political" event that cuts us off from the food supply for any length of time. Island life! :)

On another note, the ramsons (what Miss P calls ramps) are out, looking lovely and smelling divine in the glens of the Manx countryside. On sunny days the glens smell fantabulous this time of year because of them. And they're delish too! :D  :P <- that's me licking my chops, not sticking my tongue out at you!

Miss P, my ex wants to know if he can sell you a box or two of Manx Ramps. He can next-day-air them to you. Oh, and after viewing that photo of you cooking scallops the other day, he wants to know if you ever clean your pans. The scallops looked lovely, if a little over-cooked - but were they Manx scallops? (They are sold in the US in pricey, high-end foodie establishments of the type you frequent.) Manx scallops are the best. Any real seafood foodie will tell you that. Before you come in all guns blazing, you do know I'm teasing you, right?

The best queenies (basically small scallops) I've ever eaten came from the Sound of Gigha, which is a tiny stretch of water on the west coast of Scotland. Very sweet and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Next to impossible to catch though, and we only caught enough to feed two people. Caught a load of scallops that day though, which is what we were after anyway.

PS - queenies themselves aren't "next to impossible to catch", just ones in the Sound of Gigha when you're working scallop gear. Queenies are usually fished in nets, but if you put a net down in the Sound of Gigha it would come back aboard ripped to shreds.

1) Ramps season in the Northeast will be delayed this year due to the colder weather -- they'll probably not start showing up for three more weeks. Let me know if you'd like my delicious ramp pasta recipe!

2) My scallops were not over-cooked -- usually I don't do this, but this time I lightly dusted them in breadcrumbs. And the pan is a commercial-kitchen grade small sautee that is dark metal on both sides. I can't remember where they were from -- the wholesaler  that supplies all the top restaurants in the city is located a few blocks from me and has a retail front too, and they label all of their seafood by origin and date of catch. They had four kinds of scallops that day.

3) I'm sure Manx scallops are delicious since you sit in that cold Irish Sea

4) Please note that P. magellanicus is found on the continental shelf of the northwest Atlantic from the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence south to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina -- as the crow flies I am only 60 miles from the ocean, ensuring fresh seafood at all times.

This.  If nobody buys the Swiss farms' production, its curtains. But all the big chains are no longer pushing the Swiss goods cause the consumer vote with their purses to buy the big business produce designed to compete across Europe.  Don't get me started on the disastrous carbon footprints represented in the produce aisles, these days.

How much is a free-range farm laid egg where you live? Say, at the farmer's market.

I dont care much for organic vs regular, if theres a big price difference. The price of some organic stuff has come down, like its a few dimes more for organic milk vs regular. But the cows can't be pumped fill with crap like in some countries, so the "regular" milk is pretty wholesome and tasty and I dont drink all that much anyway.

Good price! You eat eggs? Buy the organic? I buy them if I'm ambitious and boil up a 1/2 dozen for hard-boiled eggs for sandwiches. OR sometimes to scramble. 

(I read somewhere that hard-boiled eggs are completely cholesterol neutral as the cooking is done in shell with no oxidation, or something like that.  As soon as eggs are fried, supposedly, it changes the nutrition profile...  Don't know if this is true....)

For baking I buy ordinary eggs.

Heres some unscientific summary of egg consumption:
http://www.livestrong.com/article/544479-nutrition-of-boiled-eggs-vs-fried-eggs/

But I'm sure I read some sort of food fanatic conspiracy theory type thing about the oxidation issue.

I ate half of a porterhouse Saturday night.  I fell into peer pressure as it was our men's banquet.  You can't refuse to eat in front of 64 beer drinking men that you spent every Monday with all winter.  :)

I took a moment to reflect on the living creature that died so I could eat something so delicious.  I took the other half home since I couldn't throw that poor creature's fine parts out.

I found myself obsessed this week with a pretty crude sandwich sold in the train station.  Swiss make shitty sandwiches as a firm rule. Miserly. 
This one is half a stick of crusty white plain french bread, with boiled egg, low grade but tasty enough ham, pickle, iceberg lettuce, and a lot of mayonnaise. I am impressed, in my sandwich siberia, by this sandwich that offers fair bang for the buck (franc).
Alas I can't keep eating it as I see its flaws, but it was fun while it lasted...

Oh, speaking of gadgets, I got some supplemental pay doing a replacement and splurged on a tiny macbook pro retina 12".  I carefully compared getting a tablet, a macbook air, a big 15" or this 12".  It was a bit pricey but really it seems mac prices have fallen a lot.
This machine is brilliant..... The screen isn't as bright as my old macbook.  But its a wonderful screen, a pleasure to read on it and watch stuff while commuting, and its so damn fast.  Nothing makes it hiccup.

I found a two morel mushrooms growing in our vegetable garden last year. Weird. Unfortunately they were past their prime so I left them in hopes of spores producing more. 

One of our neighbors came to ask me if she could pick some mushrooms that she spotted in our yard a few years ago. I told her go ahead as I am too timid to trust myself in knowing what is what. Her husband is a "witch doctor" and has travelled a lot in South America somewhere with tribal folks. Guess they know there shrooms.

Ramps, never tried them but I understand they have a flavor akin to something between an onion and garlic.

i know one of the northern universities about ten years ago spread truffle spores down the appalachians, and they really took hold here in the lower southern hills. hawgs and dawgs can find em, some people make money collecting them. i had sliced black truffle on pork (spelled french like) chops one time, they told me after that was about $50 bucks worth of mushroom, blew my mind. it is good stuff, i can see why richies like it so much, the exclusivity of it.

and i have thought about mushroom farming. took a few extension classes at UGA back when i was a proud member of the FFA (wearing dickies overalls of course)

really as far as the name differences of ramps, i think its mostly generational and geographical what they call it and minor variations in taste ramps/leeks/spring onion some tastes more onion some more garlic

my granny used to make a poke salad, mostly poke greens, with ramps, a couple sliced sugar beets from the garden, chicory/endive, goat cheese, hardboiled egg, whatever mushrooms she found. she had this bag she carried, always came back with plenty of stuff, the salad would always be a little different depending on what she found. she'd throw berries in there black and blue. goat cheese. cucumbers soaked in vinigar. she liked adding purple radish CEO in for color. and chicken scraps. and real buttermilk dressing. its was great to eat lunch on a hot summer day

My granny used to make us poke salad with egg . She never called it going to the grocery store when she went once a month, she called it going for staples and she didn't buy her staples, she said she traded with this or that merchant although she used money like everyone else .

She would take one of her 8 kids or grand kids for the 45 mile one way trip to do her trading and come back with a truck load of things like big bags of flour, cornmeal and coffee and tea . The rest of what they ate was from the garden and put up stuff for the winter . If my brother and I were there we would never ask to go with her because it was a treat for whoever got to go trading with her because they got to stop at Dairy Queen for ice cream . My brother and I got things all the time that they never got to enjoy and were pretty amused at how excited my Aunts were to be able to " go to town " . They lived about 70 miles from us but it felt like a different world there when we visited .

I was very close to her and when I moved to Chicago I made a point of coming back to Alabama at least once a year just sit on the porch with her and shell some peas, it kept me grounded in ways that's hard to describe . I met a guy in Chicago with family in the same area and we dated for many years . It was an added bonus to be with a guy I could take there with me to sit on that porch a few days and shell peas and visit with granny and not be bored. One year I was broke and out of work and David knew it was that time of year for my visit so he took it upon his self to get us there and seemed to be just as happy to go as I did .

My granny used to fry a pound of bacon every day.  She slurped up most of the grease with bread and ate that for breakfast.  She'd leave enough lard to do the rest of the day's cooking.  Always grossed me out to watch her gulp up all that bacon.

Hell, she might have lived to be 100 instead of dying at 94 had she eaten better.

Are you folks discussing real lard, or Crisco -- or do you mean just any shortening? My grandmother, mother and yes -- even Miss P. -- maintained(s) used bacon grease in a proper grease container. You know, with the fit strainer thingie at the top.

I don't fry anything -- ANYTHING -- in my apartment so I do not have Crisco and would only use real lard for baking, but living alone I don't bake I go to bakeries. I only remember my mother and grandmother using Crisco as shortening. Though I'm sure my grandmother may have used rendered pig fat aka lard back when my grandfather was alive and smoked his own pigs. There was also a "slop bucket" on the rear enclosed porch next to the kitchen.

Oh, and I even shelled beans on a front porch annually... country boy that I am.

I'm not sure of the difference between lard and bacon grease.  I thought they were the same.  Granny had a metal container that had LARD written on it.  It had a strainer of sorts that fit under the lid and strain out part of the pig.

It was properly displayed on the stove top.  Always makes you wonder since you obviously use the lard from the top, what about the bottom portion?  Granny's lard in the bottom was probably there since they built the new house in 1955.  YUCK

And we always called green beans snap beans.  I would go to granny's every summer as soon as school let out.  I loved being down there and hated leaving.  I was actually kinda happy when our house burnt to the ground and I got to spend a year living with her. 

That's probably also when I learned to not really enjoy eating meat.  I never knew what was actually cooking and seeing my uncle bring her some freshly shot rabbits or squirrels bothered me beyond belief.  And then to suddenly see some of my favorite farms animals gone was crushing.  Playing with them one day and supposed to eat them the next????  I think not.

OK folks, the verdict is in and i must now attempt this:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/15/dining/15crus.html?_r=0

The author suggests a combination of 70% butter and 30% leaf lard ("high-end" lard from around a pig's kidneys). She says that leaf lard is available at Flying Pigs Farm stand at the Union Square and Grand Army Plaza Greenmarkets on Saturday and by mail order. 

I'm betting that I can locate a source here, probably at Reading Terminal Market from one of the Amish stands.

edit: evidently "leaf lard" can be obtained at A. Esposito's butcher mere blocks away at the Italian Market

http://www.espositosmeats.com

It's at the other end of the block from Cappuccios Meats where I buy dry aged steaks when I'm feeling flush with money, plus they have the best fresh italian sausages in the city. Esposito is known more for pork -- they'll slow roast an entire suckling pig for you with advanced order.

We live in dire world where basic ancient foodstuffs like lard are now only something arcane, possibly fancy, foodie, etc.   I mean come on dudes, its LARD.

Margarine and vegetable shortening are such freaky products from a hellish agrochemical culture of the mid 20th century. I know they date to at least wwII but I think, from my experience growing up, processed food really surged in the 60s and 70s. 

Speaking of Soylent Green, I saw Snowpiercer last weekend.  I don't think it came out yet in the states?  Every damn star seems to be in this Korean production. Its kinda of like The 5th Element - when France decided it could make a global blockbuster and filmed in English.  Also, style similarities - what is a global blockbuster like when its not a Hollywood product?

Anyway, in a very near dystopian future, the world is frozen and the last remnants of humanity live on a super train that is a self-sustaining bio-dome of sorts, which travels around the globe continuously, taking a year for each lap. 

The steerage passengers eat a gelatinous protein bar that isn't made from people, or shit, but just as disgusting.  Also one dude has the last remaining Camel cigarettes.

We live in dire world where basic ancient foodstuffs like lard are now only something arcane, possibly fancy, foodie, etc.   I mean come on dudes, its LARD.

Margarine and vegetable shortening are such freaky products from a hellish agrochemical culture of the mid 20th century. I know they date to at least wwII but I think, from my experience growing up, processed food really surged in the 60s and 70s. 

Speaking of Soylent Green, I saw Snowpiercer last weekend.  I don't think it came out yet in the states?  Every damn star seems to be in this Korean production. Its kinda of like The 5th Element - when France decided it could make a global blockbuster and filmed in English.  Also, style similarities - what is a global blockbuster like when its not a Hollywood product?

Anyway, in a very near dystopian future, the world is frozen and the last remnants of humanity live on a super train that is a self-sustaining bio-dome of sorts, which travels around the globe continuously, taking a year for each lap. 

The steerage passengers eat a gelatinous protein bar that isn't made from people, or shit, but just as disgusting.  Also one dude has the last remaining Camel cigarettes.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706620/

Processed food began to surge after air-conditioned warehouses became a reality and commercial freezers were readily available.  Then came the TV dinner, canned you name it and a smattering of frozen things that continues to grow.  The difference between Montreal markets and US markets could not be more apparent.  There is little processed food here as much of it is made the day it is consumed.  We market every other day or so, because so much of our food is fresh.  Our fridges are also smaller, because you don't freeze much stuff and unless you feed a large family, you don't need the space since you are buying food every other day or so.

As to our future, I believe that the real wars have yet to come and they will be over one object: Water.

Indeed fat surrounding the kidney,s is much prized the time I asked for it at Moan,s Clapham Common , http://moen.co.uk/ (http://moen.co.uk/)I was told  a] there was a waiting list  B] and I wish I could remember the exact words because the butcher was clearly a loss to diplomacy that my weekly or weakly expenditure would not get me near the list , so with as much dignity as I could muster I added some posh sausages to the bill , unable to think off a way to remind him that I did buy, pheasant ,partridge ,wood pidgin and grouse.

 But as some ole skinny lesser Ariosto was paying off her culminated bill for the month £750 while agreeing with her friend that yes it was "such fun sometimes to do one,s own shopping' I just agreeably left .

There was a period late 80,s into the 90,s when if you knew ought about real cooking you could get stock bones, fats and a conversation from the butcher pleased to find someone who knew about all this. Moan,s even plucked the pheasants I bought back from visits to parent,s . And you could buy goose fat at a price whereby a mortgage repayment did not have to be delayed.

I rec'd a very thoughtful gift in the mail today from Hopey.  Assorted homemade truffles!!!!  Already ate 2 on the way home from retrieving the mail.  Now I only have to fix a lite, very lite dinner.


Greg I say this with love but it was only a week ago when you where rightly worried that you had dropped below 140 pounds. Leave all this crap calorie counting to the neurotic urbanites its compilled by and for. In fact ban yourself from ever considering bloody calories ever again . If you intend to be a vegetarian buy a good wholefood cookbook which will explain minor and major proteins and then eat eat eat for the love off it and the health it brings.

If you have access to fresh food buy it, get a bread maker and buy flour on line , find good cheese / fresh eggs milk cream fish and enjoy them . Chocs are treats not in anyway an influence on what should be a good meal.

Your regular posts about your eating are bonkers and do your health no good at all. Get on and do something proper about it.

As I say with exasperated love.

Thanks Michael.  I really appreciate the concern.  It has gotten better and I'm continuing to work on it.  Unfortunately, I simply don't enjoy food to the degree that others do.  My diet is actually pretty decent except during stressful times.  That's when my ridiculousness kicks in.

Being able to address it here has actually assisted quite a bit.  These are some deep seated, long term issues that I'm finally addressing. 

OH, and I did post in another thread that I had some deep fried French fries today and I had some steak just a couple of weeks ago....so I call that progress.   ;D

Post by: zach on April 15, 2014, 11:42:32 pm
put here simply because we talk here, and its about nutrition. apologies to ms p and wumpy, i realize this isn't in the spirit of the thread.

wolf, in another thread you displayed unique incite into the choice of words that a poster was using. although i hadn't seen it myself, when you pointed it out, it became crystal clear. without saying it in so many words, you let him know that you understand, he has an eating disorder. you handled acknowledging that very delicately and with alot of empathy. i want to commend you for that. i hope he took stock in what you said, and knows how to read between the lines.

you hinted you have had your own eating disorder, or maybe i misunderstood. i hope that is in your past man. even with my personal experience with someone that has it, you saw what i didn't. my sister struggled with, and i think still does, her relationship with food. at first, i thought it was a control thing, we had a rough early childhood, she had no control over many things that were happening around her, to her, so she controlled the only thing she could, what went in her mouth. later though, i think it became a body image thing, that was when the purging started. i hated that.

i just wanted to say, i saw what you did there, and it was a good thing. and it brought up some things i sort of let go long ago.

maybe when i can drive i'll go visit sissy, take her out for a great salad lunch, beets, arugala, mushrooms and goat cheese. something fine, but light. with a raspberry dressing

be well.

that's hardcore dude, I simply fill an empty bottle about 3/4 full and partially freeze it.  When I'm ready for whatever daily trek I'm on, I fill it the rest of the way and am ready to go.  Although, I don't take it along any longer on my 25+ mile bike rides as I had an incident a couple of years ago.  I was the furthest point from home when I decided it was time for a beverage.  It was such a beautiful area and before I knew it, I had finished huge amounts of wine.

I made it to within a mile of the house before I veered off the road and over a mountain side.  Luckily, I didn't lose my phone as I had to call my brother to come rescue me else I'd still be laying 60 feet down that embankment.  :)  So now, I only take it along when hiking.

Thank you Greg, I have been worried about it. I have my own issues and that influenced my reply to you greatly , if for what ever reason eating is a problem I know that its only dealt with by discipline and diligence though not off course the discipline and diligence that is such a feature off restrictive eating.  Like Zack I have noticed off late a far more encouraging attitude from you and the post kind off was a shock back to the place you had been working so hard on moving on from.
All the best and again thank you for your responce.

Its an abbreviation as the said apples name is.

Cox,s Orange Pippin.  It is a relatively young apple

It is the apple that raised yours truly , for Americans it would be thought small , notable rustic Peel firm crisp flesh , first taste tart then the mouth floods with a rich sweetness.   Excellent with a slice of Cheddar from the round mature of course and some real ale.,from a Cellar not a Fridge the ale that is.

McDonalds gives it the college try to source nationally, and this being tiny switzeland, that is just about the same as locally.  All they need now is to buy bio.

CLUTCH THE PEARLS! TACO BELL IS GOING UPSCALE! (http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-taco-bell-test-fast-casual-restaurant-us-taco-co-huntington-beach-20140424,0,6972782.story?track=rss#axzz300Ia9Hma)

Taco Bell plans to test a new fast-casual restaurant in Huntington Beach called U.S. Taco Co. and Urban Tap Room, slated to open in the next couple of months. Like Taco Bell, there will be tacos on the menu, but that's about as similar as the two concepts get. 

The menu at U.S. Taco Co. features fancier, fusion-style tacos, but don't expect to see any Doritos shells. There's a spin on the Philly cheesesteak with a "Brotherly Love" taco made with a flour tortilla, carne asada steak, grilled peppers and onions, roasted poblano queso, cotija cheese and cilantro and a Southern "Winner Winner" taco with a flour tortilla, home-style crispy chicken, "SOB" Southern gravy, roasted corn pico de gallo, jalapeno and cilantro.

“A year ago, we conducted an extensive study on our consumer segmentation and identified a separate consumer group that simply was not going to visit quick service restaurants, at all," Jeff Jenkins, Taco Bell senior brand manager, said in a statement. "The result is U.S. Taco, a new concept sit-down restaurant that offers the best fusion of American-inspired flavors in tacos, fries and shakes for that emerging demographic of edgy foodies looking for a unique dining experience.”

Did they really need an extensive survey? lol.

I've had my fair share of fast food but only have eaten at TB 3 times in my life. Twice more than necessary.

I've only gone once, and that was only to humor my grandmother when I took her out for a day of shopping.

a new concept sit-down restaurant that offers the best fusion of American-inspired flavors in tacos, fries and shakes for that emerging demographic of edgy foodies looking for a unique dining experience

I meant they are no longer using paper plates for people who dine in .

White Castle are one of the oldest chain burgers with a unique small square bun and a sliver of ground beef with holes in it to grill onions in while the beef cooks . They are served with a single pickle slice and mustard on them .

In my neck of the woods, they were referred to as 'Gut Bombs' or 'Slyders'...both anatomically correct. One term's origin was immediately self-evident. The other became so about 8 hours later. They're addictive. Of course, to keep up with the times they've now bastardized the brand with mini-chicken and mini-fish versions. When they come out with the mini-vegan I will stop going.

Miss P used to live 800 feet (~0.2 mi or a 4 minute walk) from a White Castle) in Brooklyn for five years, and then the five years before that I was 0.4 mi/8 min walk from another one.

I've eaten a lot of White Castle.

Filthy no longer has them so I have to resort to buying them in the frozen food section and pairing them with the requisite crinkle cut frozen fries.

The 50 Best Restaurants - for those who enjoy lists of this sort, or restaurants like these:
http://www.theworlds50best.com/list/1-50-winners

Not being a foodie, my most memorable restaurant meals were not at the highest restaurant gastronomiques I've been too. Have had some great meals at the gourmet ones but also some really poisonous ones - anytime the money became an issue or with snobs, or equally awkward, bores.

Whats nice about a truly world class restaurant is that the restaurant itself and the staff and food are always impeccable.  Its the pretentious, trendy, overpriced restaurants that can be horrible because the restaurant itself serves up bad energy.

We get shrimp from the fish markets at the beach here in SC.  Fresh Atlantic shrimp are available daily during the summer.  If you go to places like Red Lobster or other restaurant chains, you are likely to get imported shrimp that are not as fresh.  I like the smaller 40/50 count ones because they are more tender than those bigger ones.  Prawns... NEVER!

I inadvertently tasted shrimp for the first and last time ever in Seattle.  I saw an authentic Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant from my hotel room.  Our dearest Jan reluctantly agreed to join me.

It was so authentic that we were the only non Vietnamese people in there.  No one spoke English and we simply ordered by looking at pictures and pointing.  Christ, they didn't even serve coffee, soda or tea.  Simply bitter tasting liquids.

I ended up ordering some sort of wrapped contraption.  The very first bite grossed me out.  I opened up this wrap and Jan had to inform me that it was shrimp.  My meal was immediately over.  Jan did at least pick it out and eat it though.

Vegetarian to them meant no beef, pork and chicken.  But they regularly serve bait.  :o

Calamari is IMO over rated . and I have had it as fresh as possible . Always rubber bands with a fishy hint , one off the food stuffs that I get bored with before I have finished masticating .Though using the black ink has escaped me so I cannot comment .

Post by: Miss Philicia on June 13, 2014, 10:50:17 am
Calimari is specifically fried squid, isn't it -- or for English speakers it is though it's merely (I think) the plural form of squid in Italian. Grilled squid is delicious as is grilled octopus, and both are superb in a ceviche. In fact I much prefer them in those preparations than frying -- if I want fried I need an Italian fritto mist di mare -- squid, smelt, shrimp, scallops, sardines, anchovies. And the coating is not heavy, the best being made with Japanese panko and served with aïoli.

I'll eat any seafood if I'm by the sea and the stuff is FRESH.  Its hard to know especially on holiday what restaurants are going to be honest, and can't afford the known gastronomic ones, etc etc.

I was spoiled a century ago in the 80s when I could have rich older dates take me to Bernardin and Aquavit and with the wine you die and go to heaven on fragrant fish and seafood. 

Routinely I eat more smoked fish then fresh fish because I can't be organised to go get fresh, really fresh, and cook it that day. 

I buy oysters and mussels in season because they are alive and the price is reasonable: oysters of course require no labour and mussels are super easy to prepare.

I will never forget the first time someone handed me a plate of shrimp with the heads still on them.  I nearly died.  Plus, the power went out in the restaurant.  I was not about to try to navigate that nightmare in the dark.  That whole platter went uneaten.

Oh, I actually hate meatloaf.  I remember being forced to eat it as a child, and covering it in ketchup.  I've tried, through my adult years, to make it tasteful and pleasant to consume, but cannot do so.   

I do love pot roast also, and am not bad at making this.  I got a New York Strip roast around Christmas time, fresh from a local market, and cooked it in the crock all day (with proper spices etc.). It was extremely tasty and tender (though it did cost quite a bit).

I would love to have this product and have been wanting to check it out so thanks for the link . I read the Faq about whats in it and I am afraid its too high in carbs for a diabetic and am a little disappointed in that .

I love the idea of only eating a home cooked meal as a treat every now and then and having this no fuss product for my daily needs . I am probably the lone person around here that likes this idea ... but I really do .

This dude gave it decent reviews, and EXTENSIVE testing of his body on it.

As a tangential subject, the Culture Gab Fest discussed the need for Home Ec to return to education, because women are still stuck with the homemaking, and both women and men could use more knowledge about cooking, nutrition, personal finance, managing a home, etc etc etc.

http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/culturegabfest/2014/06/slate_s_culture_gabfest_on_obvious_child_young_adult_literature_and_home.html

The most useful things I learned in HS were driver ed, typing and how to write well. In college it was nutrition, a department that existed from the time there was a home ec school for the young ladies!  In Jr. High, Shop was great and boys didn't take Home Ec yet.

It seems they let boys take it for a few years, then just axed it from most schools in the country.  Pity.  Slate suggests they rename it Life Hacking and "bro it up" so boys can deal with it.  I have no problem with schools teaching all these basic and important skills for managing ones life with some real science and expertise thrown in to support.  Many parents don't have the time or knowledge to impart all that we could know.

I went through a period recently where I was not feeling well and didn't feel like cooking so I began eating as little as I possibly could . I lost 22 lbs and noticed some huge benefits from eating a restricted diet . I was using almost no insulin and felt much more alert and less sluggish ... many other benefits as well . I try to eat to live through the week and then treat myself on the weekends . I have found that the portion size my body wants is now less than half of what I used to consume and when bad food is offered I eat very little of it because I know it will just make me sick and tired feeling and who wants that .

TAMPA, Fla. – Local, state and federal investigators were all trying to figure out how LSD got into a Walmart steak that sent a 9-months-pregnant Florida woman, her boyfriend and her two daughters to the hospital.

All four were doing fine after the incident Monday night.

Make that five; while being treated at the hospital, Jessica Rosado gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

It is scary.  When I was at the ASO, I went to a training on bath salts and that fake pot they sell at gas stations.  The person who talked was a pharmaceutical doctor and some of the things he told us were awful.

But the really scary drug is that krokodil.  That eats skin off.  It's a cheap drug that is supposed to mimic a heroin high, so people who cannot afford heroin often buy krokodil.

I suspect though have no proof that death under influence is far less than alcohol and traditional drug deaths .

it is a chemical, something like JWH-18 but there are others. simply chemical analogues to thc. they mix it with acetone, spray it onto a smokable leafy stuff, damania, then let the acetone evap off.

it will get you high, absolutely no question. it is completely untested. most of what we have in the united states is cooked in russia and china.

reliable reports are that it is sketchy at best, and the buzz is not worth it all. sometimes, seems to be mixed far more potent than is safe. kids are freaking out bad. those appear like fringe results.

personally, i used it for a few months. end up smoking more fake in a day than real weed. also ended up spending more than real within a couple weeks. i had a few experiences that were far too powerful. wouldn't do it again, but i don't believe much of the fear mongering about it either.

bath salts, krokodil, all very bad things. big problem is, all of it is from the same sources.

on that note, imma go twist a spliff of fine medicinal cannabis, and take my nightly pharma meds

It's very typical and should appear on any Vietnamese menu in the "Rice Vermicelli" section as "Vermicelli w/grilled pork". It comes with a small bowl of fish sauce which sounds gross but it is not -- I don't find it fishy really, more a slight sweet taste -- and you pour it over the whole dish and mix everything up with your chop sticks.

the tp... come in handy after eating that dish?

I don't get diarrhea from Vietnamese food. It never has that heavy sauce like most Chinese dishes. It's always very light and tropical.

OK, I just took a few days to read through this entire thread, and I have to say I found it very amusing, especially the food sparing between the OP (Ms. P) and the subject (Will). I also found Theyer amusing when asking questions like "U jellz - is that a type of pudding?" and something else he questioned about y'alls lingo, but it slips my mind.

Some of your pictures looked very appetizing, well others failed miserably, but it was really neat to go from 2011 to present in one thread, and indeed it was Ms. P who first mentioned Siggi's Yogurt being the absolute best toward the beginning of the thread.

Anyway just wanted to be a part of this impressive thread and add my two cents...and San Antonio is an awesome place to live!!!

I had such a craving for the sauce!!!!  Now Im going to go get some chinese frozen dumplings to steam and eat it with the nuoc cham. I wonder if that is culinary sacrilege?

I crave the sauces!!!!

I'm always craving mexican green sauce and will make haphazard burritos just to eat it.

Some indians have a similar green sauce - I crave with punjabi bhatura type bread and this chopped salad bhel puri.

El Monterrey!  Mitch - how worldly!   ;D

Out in this neck of the woods we have these 'food carts'.  This is something new to me!  Back in the barrio of Milwaukee we had the Taco Trucks and that was about the extent of the portable international cuisine. 

Here, though, they're everywhere and each one seems to have a niche. Burgers - check. Russian delicacies - check.  Some dubious wrap of unknown origin - check.  The last night driving past a group of them, one of these modified Airstream campers advertised "Lithuanian". For the European sect on here, you may know what Lithuanian 'treats' are there may be some fabulous signature Lithuanian dish that I would salivate over - but for the most part I have no clue.  The purveyor looked suspiciously Latin in descent and for all I know he could have put Haggis on a plate and told me Bon Appetit! 

Mitch - I'm with you.  Give me El Monterrey and a yogurt whose expiration date is at least somewhere in 2014 and I'm good to go!

There were a number of polish deli late night coffee shops in NY when I was a young and a scenester.  There were Lithuanian joints here and there in Brooklyn and I don't recall it being very different... dumplings, goulash, crepes, potato pancakes, cabbage.

We arrived all sweaty and in shorts after walking a few hours through a park in 95 degree heat and humidity. More on that later.

I've only had catfish a few times before but this was the best! First time eating turnip greens. Loved them. More flavor than spinach. Cornbread was to die for.

Yum, yum, and yum!

I think food trucks are awesome. There is a huge market for them. Lunch, is awesome, money is almost too easy in some locations. I know guys that do a daily run of subdivisions under construction, then go park in an office area in the city.

Where I live in Florida the city had just started cracking down on trucks parking the lots at the beaches. A governmental problem easily solved with a new tax.

My 20 yr old son has worked in food service since his first summer job. Currently he's working for a large theme park, he's the manager for their food carts. He's got a fleet of nearly 50 of them. Sandwiches, hot dogs, ice cream. His department brings in more revenue than the parks ticket sales.

He manages more people than I ever have. I'm impressed, he was kind of awkward when he was little.

He wrote a business plan for a class in college. Outlined five food trucks. Had it so well planned out that I was trying to hand him the money to do it. I mean of course he made an "A" but I wanted to see him make it happen. Not only did he non't take the money, but says the day he graduates he plans on never working food again. I smiled. The money is put away, waiting on whatever he wants to do with it.

When I was his age I financed several cross country road trips by selling grilled cheese sandwiches and veggie burritos. Best days of my life, hands down. And I bet that Jody is the only one here that gets that. Love you man, glad we saw each other, helped me know I'm not the only one in the lot.

I joked with my son that I should do it, and let him be the boss. You heard it here first folks, remember this day. I'm gonna be rich.

Dan; If bacon is your thing, check out this SE restaurant that started as a food cart, they have a big sign in 60 watt light bulbs that spells PIG OUT:


www.lardosandwiches.com

Zack; the vast majority of the food carts in Portland are stationary -- we now have several pods around town where 5 - 10 carts are co-located in a parking lot.  There is no doubt this is a huge business opportunity. I think the formula is to have a simple menu with fresh ingredients that serves quick.

Holy crap, kinda panicked for a couple of days after stepping on them for the first day.  I had gained about 10 lbs and considered reverting back to extreme diet mode.  After about the 3rd of 4th day, I noticed that the scale was already off.  In the move, the little adjustment wheel had turned enough to add 10 lbs.  Thank goodness!!!

I know this isn't "Nutrition, Wolfie Style", but anyways.  :)  Since I lost a couple of lbs during my frightful week, I decided to have a loaded baked potato.  Smothered in sour cream and all.

Also, has anyone switched to coconut milk?  I recently did and really like the taste and it's a lot healthier than regular milk.

Dan; If bacon is your thing, check out this SE restaurant that started as a food cart, they have a big sign in 60 watt light bulbs that spells PIG OUT:


And now I have a new place to check out!  Thanks!  I'm not certain if 'bacon' is my thing but it's certainly a different diet out here compared to the Midwest.  Vegan-this, Vegan-that, Soy milk, Organic eggs to name a few. It seems every place I go things are slathered in sprouts and carrots!  I grew up on a farm with real carnivores. We left eggs hanging in a basket beside the stove, didn't have a microwave, cooked *gasp* game meat and we didn't die from it! While I don't dismiss the occasional sprout or vegetable as a main dish and I am not what would be considered a huge carnivore..........there are times that you JUST WANT MEAT.

My understanding is that coconut milk is really high in fat, but it does taste good.

..........there are times that you JUST WANT MEAT.

Ok, here are two more places to check out....

Ohh Looky! My Beans have sprouted (I planted them late). My squash is about played out thank god, I've had squash every way possible I think. The Okry is going good, and thats more Okry sprouting up. YOU CANNOT HAVE TOO MUCH OKRY amirite?

Do you like my cinder blocks MissP? They were holding up a Chevy but the city made me haul it off so they are getting a second life in the garden.

I always thought it was in the same class as 'greens' and was a weed.  Huh - go figure.  Learn something new everyday. As for pickling, isn't that what you do to things that are normally inedible to begin with?

I'm finally somewhat rested and getting caught up with everything so I thought I would post some pics.

Breakfast with Jeff

Day 1: He tried the first day with the egg and bacon frozen burritos. He knew it really didn't go over too well so it was fresh eggs etc. from that point forward. lol.

Day 2: Never one to leave a guest go hungry, the dear cooked 8 (yes 8) sausage patties and then fried 4 eggs in the sausage drippings. They looked a bit "browned" but actually tasted very good. We didn't eat all of the sausage but our cholesterol took a hit anyway. Hey, it's vacation so it doesn't count.

Day 3: Jeff tackled poached eggs, 2 apiece in a non-stick egg poaching pan along with melted cheese on an english muffin. It was a success.

Day 4: Thought it was time I cooked him breakfast. It was a repeat of the morning before but I poached the eggs in a saucepan instead. The leftover sausages came to mind but alas there was only one left.  ??? When I sliced the cheese the knife handle snapped off. This boy needs some decent equipment!

Anyway here's pics from Day 2 and Day 4.

Let's be clear -- that article is about instant ramen noodles, not fresh ones you'd obtain in a proper Japanese-style ramen restaurant. So if you are referring to any that you ate at Cheu Noodle Bar (http://cheunoodlebar.com) I can assure you that they didn't come out of a box from Walmart.

Ramen, when fresh, is really just a Chinese wheat noodle (miàn). In Japan they are called ramen, in Korea they are called jajangmyeon, in Vietnam they are called hủ tiếu

Like any processed, packaged food INSTANT ramen (or any instant noodle product) is crammed full of salt as well as the chemical Tertiary-butyl hydroquinone -- a bi-product of butane. One should also note that the study focused on South Korean women eating 2 or more servings of instant ramen each week.

Yes, I was referring to the instant noodles. The authentic ones were good. I noticed that you had no family history comment about lobsters. Had hoped to hear about an Uncle who headed into the cold north country of Maine and found his fame and fortune designing the ideal lobster trap.

Oh well, neither one of us were very hungry last night so we ate about half of the three Lobsterteers and will repeat it tonight.

Lobster... oh, how do I feel. I'm quite neutral on lobster. Certainly do not hate it, but it's also not something I order in a restaurant or purchase to cook.

However, I do know how to quickly disassemble one table side from my years as a waiter in college in an upscale restaurant.

SHAMEFUL  ;D  we have a Cici's pizza  next to a very large trailer-park, and when I went to that place I wasn't very impressed w/ their menu, in fact I got sick the next day, and never returned to the place  ???
I think that Cici's pizza  has moved to another location, and where it used to be is now a Golden Corral

Golden Coral is nasty here in Montana. My husband had diarrhea as soon as he finished eating. My daughter is not HIV positive like her dad and I. So it let us know the food was bad when she had the same reaction less than half an hour of walking out the restaurant doors. We will never eat at any Golden Coral location again.
Cici's Pizza looks ok on tv. When we walked in my daughter, then fifteen, did not want to eat there do to the filth and looks of the food. We walked out as the food looked like it had been reheated.
We do like Outback, iHop, Del Taco, and Sweet Tomatoes. There is no Sweet Tomatoes in Montana, but we loved it in Nevada. They are a part of Soup Plantation and I even liked that one too.

I normally don't like any type of chain restaurants, but Subway is actually my favorite quick "go to" place.  That's my most favorite places to get a quick salad on the go.  Sometimes I do it as a veggie sub if I'm in a hurry.  I wrongly assumed and learned something yesterday.  I always get it on flatbread assuming it had the least calories.  Nope, actually has the most at 210 for a 6" bun.

And for those who like really hot, they've introduced this fiery Asian hot sauce that'll clear your sinuses in mere seconds.

They can't be very good if you are willing to toss them. I certainly never toss the version of beans (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/red-beans-and-rice-recipe2.html) that I make -- they make tidy, large, one-serving dinners for my freezer. Then again, there's no McCormick Season*All...

The Delaware Valley, specifically the area around Kennett Square, is the mushroom capital of the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennett_Square,_Pennsylvania). This town is about 30 miles west of the city, so we always have mushrooms in the markets. Plus I'm sure they supply all the tops end restaurants from DC to NYC.

Dinner last night:

First coarse- Split lobster tails stuffed with an herby egg salad, fresh tomatoes on the side

Second coarse- Roasted chicken and potatoes cooked in duck fat

Third coarse- Beautiful bread served warm with a crust to die for and some sort of cheese.

Fourth coarse- A simple lightly dressed salad

Fifth coarse- (I was getting to tired so we missed this) Blueberry sorbet with roasted pears

All courtesy of our dear French chef friend Claude. An outdoor feast for 50. Proper linens, plates, and silverware. Fresh flowers on every table. It all sounds pretentious but it wasn't. A down to earth, fun, and funny crowd.

The key is having the poussin butterflied. All I had to do was sear it in an iron skillet for a few minutes on each side in olive oil -- they I put the hot skillet in a pre-warmed 325F oven and it was easily done in 20 minutes. Tiny birds cook quickly and like squab you do NOT want it dried out. Meat thermometer should read 165-170F and it will get to 180F while letting it rest before plating.

Miss P is currently preparing a dry aged rib eye with roasted red potatoes w/greek basil and sautéed rapine w/garlic. This will be paired with a 2010 Domaine de Marcoux Lirac Lorentine. For dessert there will be fromage blanc with fresh raspberries.

Sautéed rapine w/garlic is definitely my favorite vegetable dish -- you Southern girls don't eat that. One must be exposed to Yankee-Italians to know its pleasures, though due to its odd bitterness a bit of an acquired taste.

Here in Filthydelphia they even throw it on roast pork and provolone sandwiches. Divine. Much better than the infamous cheese steaks.

I knew I forgot something at the store today ... pork roast . I have been craving a pork roast slow simmered in sour kraut . I bought a huge 5 lbs of homemade Kraut the other day much to the horror of my friends . My Grandma used to make this and my aunt and Granny and I were the only ones who liked it so it was our thing to share .

I don't make roasts until the weather cools -- heats up my apartment too much, and I refuse to use a crock pot.

init: rapini is also known as broccoli rabe, and the Chinese also use it evidently -- but it's very Italian. It's related to the turnip family, but it looks more like a mix of kale with small heads of broccoli. But it tastes like neither since it has a slight bitterness to it, which is why one usually sautés it in olive oil with minced garlic to offset that a bit. It's very easy to make.

Um, no. I just can't eat that kind of volume of food in one sitting.

Today:

8 AM- One cup of decaf coffee.
8:30AM- 1 steamed egg over 1/2 english muffin w/cheese.
10:45AM- 1/2 large porkchop(leftover from last nights dinner) and a slice of a "sad and vile" melon.
1PM- tuna pasta salad.
2:30PM- snack of fruit or maybe a chocolate chip cookie.
7PM- Not sure what's for dinner yet but it won't be a huge slab of red meat.
9:30PM- Snack of yogurt, cheese and crackers, or maybe a bowl of cheerios.  :)

There are plenty of yoghurts that:

have no live cultures whatsoever
are full of fat
are full of sugar

Might as well eat ice cream rather than certain yoghurts

It's all those gin & tonics filling you up! Don't forget, Granny... I've seen you in action.

That said, it's rare I can eat what I showed you on that plate but I actually ate every last bit last night. But I'd not eaten much the rest of the day in preparation for it. Usually with a large steak I eat half of it and save the rest for leftovers. But this was a VERY EXPENSIVE (don't ask) dry aged steak so I didn't think it wise to nuke half of it the next day. I only buy a dry aged steak once a year... maybe twice.

I hate gin and tonic as well. Vodka is my preference. Granny needed unwind after my lengthy drive and after the long walk the following day.  8)

Today's listed menu is quite typical for me. I probably eat as much or more than you do even though you are 30 pounds heavier than me. You are constantly filling up on some fancy coffee or nibbling on charcuterie and stinky cheese.

Can't say as though I blame you for eating that pricey steak in one sitting. Treats like that are to be devoured.

Just be rest assured that I eat well and that I will continue to caterwaul.

Sounds absolutely delosh. (as he heaves)

Fortunately I have dinner plans with The Latin. God knows what it will entail.

Last month he was out and invited me to join him for dinner.
Met at Pei Wei, fast food restaurant Asian crap. I purposely stalled at the cash register giving him more than enough time to get his wallet out and pay.
He had $1 in it. I Paid.

Last week we planned dinner. (I like white table cloths and proper service).
I pick him up, he's wearin flip flops, shorts and sleeveless t shirt.

San Diego restaurants are pertty casual. It wasn't till we were approaching restaurant that I started to worry if they may had a dress code.

They did, but wasn't the shorts and flip flops but the sleeveless shirt they had an issue with. Either we sit in the corner near the bar or they would lend him a shirt. We sat by the bar.

So tonight I am totally at his mercy. Crap knows where we'll end up.

I'm sure she doesn't want me ordering in this manner though.  I was very specific about it being extra, extra well done.  Then when it was done, chop it into small pieces and continue cooking it.  Smothered with swiss cheese and A1 sauce completed the transition.

Oh please, this thread will most likely outlive most of us. It has taken on a mind of its own.

Since we are talking about meat (steak), I've noticed lately that I've developed a (hopefully temporary) distaste for steak. Mind you I live in South Texas and I am accustomed to eating steak a couple times a week. But seriously the last 3 steaks, Ribeyes, have made me nauseated. I am not even craving it anymore. Weird.

I HAVE HOWEVER, fallen head over heels in love with Olive Garden's Salad. Last week I ordered 4 take out salads from them. Just the plain old house salad they serve.

People actually eat at Olive Garden?

 :)  All I can tell you is "Olive Garden "  is packed,  down here between 12:00 and and 2:00 in the afternoon.  It is almost impossible to find a parking spot. We drive past it everyday, and when we do Ed and I look at each other and wonder, what the appeal is or what's going on, that they are always packed Monday through Friday in this time slot ! 

I've also got to say, it's been about 15 years since I was in an Olive garden, but we may have to check it out again, to see just exactly, what's going on in this place that draws such a crowd !

EDITED TO ADD:  Maybe it's the senior special's,  if there is a bargain. we will find it !

What got me started on my OG salad crush was the other night some friends brought dinner over from Olive Garden, and so I ordered the Lasagna, I mean how can you fuck up lasagna right? Well it was horrible, It looked like they just mixed everything together in a big industrial sized pot. Isnt lasagan supposed to be layered? But anyways, with the lasagana came their salad, and holy shit it was good.

I took a break from their salad tonight and I am eating a Dole bagged Ceasar Salad with some Buitonni Raviolis. You jellz p?

I happen to love OG's salad.  My mother and I went there often for their soup and salad lunch special. 

I eat salads everyday and one of the best places is Subway.  They are huge and I get 3 dinner salads out of one.  Additionally, you can order it up with spinach instead of lettuce.  I use a little italian dressing and add vinegar to it.  Heat it up and pour over your spinach salad.  Delicious I tell ya.

I won't bore you all with the ghastly details of what that hamburger did to my digestive tract.  I hit the toilet so often that I thought I returned to 1988.

I've yet to be but few places that can make a salad better than anything I can make at home. Miss P is an expert at whipping up her own salad dressings from scratch, with her collection of about 8 specialized vinegars (blood orange, passion fruit, raspberry, shallot, cucumber, quince, orange vincotto, Alsatian melter and of course aged Modena balsamic)

Now that I'm expanding my horizons (and waist line), I did a spicey chicken salad from Wendy's yesterday.  I was quite surprised how good it was.  I don't typically visit fast food restaurants and was impressed with their selection of healthier options.

I've already gained 4 lbs since Greg and I have been back together.  Eating more than once a day seems strange and foreign and it actually makes me hungrier by doing so.

OH, and I'm quite awesome at whipping up salads myself.  Being my main staple of life, I've had lots of time to perfect them.  ;)

There are some beans, like butter beans or large Lima that will cook apart if you soak them .

I know most people soak beans but my grandma didn't and she was the best cook ever so no one in our family ever soaks beans . I learned yesterday why my granny could cook so good . At 13 she was already a seasoned worker in the cotton fields but when her momma had another baby she had a choice to come out of the field and take care of the baby and cook when her mama went back out in the fields . She cooked breakfast and supper for 18 men and women and a whole bunch of kids from the time she was 13 up till she marred and had 9 kids of her own to feed ... plus the neighborhood . She learned to cook real fast and real good so she would never have to pick cotton again, and she never did . 

I had to take my aunt the have surgery yesterday and I asked her why granny could cook so good and why she always cooked so much and this is what I learned . We judge every soul food dish we make by the standard of was it almost as good as granny's .

Post by: Miss Philicia on November 05, 2014, 09:41:54 am
Actually one of the keys to this recipe was not just soaking the beans for two days, but doing so with rosemary and garlic cloves so the beans were doubly infused with flavor.

How dare one question proper Tuscan technique!

I find whatever liquid I cook my beans in gets into the bean just fine . I know lots of recipes and even the directions on bag say to soak or quick soak ... just never found it helpful for necessary to do so .

No, they came out al dente. Now I will divide them up and freeze them in small portions, because what one does to eat this dish is you pan fry the beans quickly in olive oil and panko (http://www.chow.com/food-news/54616/how-is-panko-different-from-breadcrumbs/).

Quick question for you all; Do most of you naturally pick "fat free" items when they're available?  I've changed my behavior somewhat when shopping as I don't study every nutritional label but some things just seem normal.  Greg is already fretting about me constantly calorie counting so I'm trying to be more closeted about it but I simply don't understand not choosing a fat free or reduced fat item if it's available.

Sweetie, he's fretting about your calorie counting because according to your body type and eating habits it's not necessary.

But as for your question, there are some items that I buy reduced fat but not a lot of -- mayonnaise I always by "Light" and though I usually make my salad dressings from scratch, I usually keep one commercial brand on hand if I am lazy and I always buy that in "Light" form. But that is really it.

I get more out of portion control than the actual items I purchase.

If its a package of some industrial or processed food, and marked "FAT FREE!" as a kind of advertising, it may be free of fat and filled with other garbage, such as too much sugar, salt, additives, low vitamins, no fiber, whatever.

"Fat Free" isn't much of a nutritional guide its PR.

If one needs to cut fat down, buy real food, whole foods low in fat.
One does't lose weight usually by eating "fat free".  One may not even improve cholesterol, or whatever.  If its "fat free" processed food, its not helping.

Fat free items are usually also lower in sodium and sugars.  I honestly can't think of how fiber would play into this "fat" equation.  Besides, I probably get too much fiber anyways.

i intentionally get full fat milk, real butter, best cuts of meat, etc

and still i look wasted

When I left the hospital after my last major illness (you and I had very similar experiences and numbers), my doctor ordered me to eat a high calorie, high fat diet to get my weight up.  I had to wear sweat pants under my 27" waste jeans to fill them out and I definitely looked like a dead man walking. 

At my next appt, he took one look at me and said I could stop that diet now...lol  I was shocked how quickly I plumped up.

The other Greg is on vacation and we'll be spending the next 9 days together.  Up to this point, we've eaten out quite a bit.  OH lordy, we did some actual food shopping which was an adventure.  Everything he asked if I had at home, the answer was always "of course not".

I reluctantly agreed to let him bring bacon into my home and I'm still worried about that awful grease smell.  I sure hope the exhaust vent stops that odor from permeating the entire place.  Luckily, I don't typically eat breakfast or lunch so I can let him enjoy it all by himself while I guzzle a couple of pots of coffee. 

After an hour of grocery shopping, we only arrived at a couple of meals and will actually be sitting down to work on a menu and schedule.  I also now have sugar and salt in the house.  2 staples I never use.  I flavor everything with jalapenos.  OH, and we picked up a toaster also.  Perhaps this is what domestic bliss entails?

Greg, you don't eat breakfast or lunch? That's not good.  But we all have our particular eating habits.  I have to have salt.  My blood pressure is low so I use it quite a bit.  But I like different spices also.  A few months ago I saw garlic pepper and had to try it. It was delish. 

Good luck trying to make out a schedule and menu with another adult who is used to a certain way of eating.  I've learned to buy the food I am used to, and my housemate does the same.  We do eat a couple suppers and breakfasts together that we make here, but otherwise we eat separate. 

Of course, we're not coupled either.

I've also made no comment yet today about him finding my ash tray stash.  They're all cleaned and stacked on a dish towell on the counter.  Lordy, Wolfie never was really good at compromising.  But I'm a learnin.  Guess I should get rid of the "My way or the highway" mindset.

I went to St. Martin's Day, a peasant harvest festival in the Jura Mountains. 
My feast was in a big old swiss farm house with about 8 tables of feasting groups. It was 9 courses of everything pig (just butchered of course).  Washed down with red wine and shots of plum eau de vie.
I liked everything except the particularly picturesque  :P white innards in gelatin. Ate a few bites of that to be polite.

For Willie https://www.yahoo.com/food/cracklin-cornbread-recipe-103229461831.html

My cornbread has no flour and no sugar. It has the tang of good buttermilk and a little smoke from Allan Benton’s smokehouse bacon. You’ve got to cook the cornbread just before you want to eat it, in a black skillet, with plenty of smoking-hot grease. That is the secret to a golden, crunchy exterior. Use very high heat, so hot that the batter screeches as it hits the pan. It’s a deceptively simple process, but practice makes perfect, which may be why many Southerners make cornbread every single day.

I use which ever I am in the mood for … I prefer cracklings , bacon seems to loose its flavor when baked in the bread . I get excellent crackling’s that are made by my aunts and cousins . They sent me a fresh batch the other day .

Liver Cornbread Dog Treats

Ingredients:

A box of cornbread mix
1 lb of pureed beef liver
1 clove of garlic
1 whole egg (beaten).


To make: use the pureed beef liver in place of the milk for the cornbread mix. Add chopped garlic and mix in the egg. Spread into a lightly greased shallow pan or cookie sheet and bake according to package directions - however, watch carefully as it will likely take less time to bake. Cool the treats before breaking or cutting into pieces.

Variations: you can substitute chicken livers, ground chicken, or ground turkey in place of the beef liver if you prefer.

To puree the liver or meat, just cut into pieces and process in the blender.

I went buy a small ham for me to eat Christmas and wanted the Kentucky Legend brand but ended up with a publix brand because it was a faction of the cost and 10 times bigger but I just couldn't eat more than a few bites of it and gave the rest away . My friends had a honey baked ham for new years and it was excellent . My new med cymbalta has kind of put me off some meat for some reason. Cymbalta is the cure for fried chicken craving for me also .

Amongst snobbish foodies evidently this is the best ham money can buy:

http://www.newsomscountryham.com

Check out those prices too -- $69.99 for 1/2 ham! Makes me want to order one just to know if it's all that.

I'm really not a honey baked ham type of gal. I'll eat it of course but I just feel like proper cured pork needs to be salty. Same reason I love all of those cured Italian and French salumi. It's a sin that these items are not healthy.

That reminds me I have pork "filet mignon" en croute leftover to eat. Its pretty salty but tasty cause they put a stuffing/pate like mix in the croute with the pork.

Its about time for me to have the winter dishes I will eat only once each winter. 
One is papet vaudois which is a very disgustingly greasy but tasty cured smoked sausage that is low simmered for an hour then scraped out of its hard casing over a mush of slimey leeks and potatoes.  Its both tasty and a bit vomit inducing.
Another is civet de cerf with is deer stew in a goupy sauce.
Another is civet de chervreuille which is specifically roe deer stew.

There are lots of dishes I crave all winter but a few I just eat to participate in local tradition.

Don't they sell small tasty off the bone "hams" in filet that you can simmer for an hour and voila?  They have really small ones here - good for two meals for one person.

If I get ambitous I'll buy all the cured sausages from each canton, one a week, and simmer them. wash them. cool them. peel them. and fry them. With a hash brown thats called "roesti".

So...I love coming up with new stuff, and by the way this one is Atkins friendly as well, should that be your thing. I call it the "Poor Man's Rouladen"

1 lb of hamburger
1/2 lb of sausage or squeeze the sausage out of the casing of 5 bratwursts
2 eggs
1 personal bag of pork rhines (crushed like bread crumbs)
1 tbsp. of Worchester sauce
1 tbsp. of Dijon mustard
1 pack of Lipton Onion soup mix
additional garlic if desired

mix all that together and place a cup like center in a (PAMed) muffin pan, then include a scoop of the center filling

4 oz of soften cream cheese
1 tbsp. of Dijon mustard
1/2 tbsp. of dill relish
2 tbsps. of bacon bits
1/4 cup of minced canned mushrooms
Salt/pepper/garlic

After scooping in the center, make a topping like a cupcake out of the meat mixture
and bake for 35 min. at 325.

Optional topper:

2 tbsps. of sour cream
1/2 tbsp. of Dijon mustard
optional garlic

Bake for another 5 minutes...

Turned out fantastic in my opinion, happy eating!

I made fried pork chops and I battered them with spicy pork rinds that had been through a food processor, served with mac and cheese and field peas .

Ugh, you may as well just shove a stick of butter up your Carotid artery. What IS it about you Southerners and Macaroni & Cheese? At least our Midwestern pickled turkey gizzards are a rarified delicacy and not something you can pick up at Applebee's.

I have canned "chicken" chow mein, and you have this^ and brag about it. Not cool, NOT cool man.

Ps- what are "field peas" you are starting to sound like MissP

Peas and snaps are field peas … tiny little brown peas with green bean snaps . I read about the pork rind batter and tried it tonight … everyone enjoyed it, it has a texture like panko .

Dried salted strips of fish. Deadly at the bar....or four hours later. Also a requirement for any wedding to throw a couple under the get-a-way car's seat. They usually have to sell the car because that smell ain't coming out.

Thank you Willy! I do have to agree with Miss P, though about Chinese in a can...EW!  Ranks up there with SPAM as she said, which is also EW!

And I have to say Mac and Cheese is one of my absolute favorites, the only time it was wrong was when I was in Lafayette, LA, I was at a grocery store just getting some food for the evening on one of my travels, and they used the banana pudding spoon to scoop it up, nothing worse then expecting the lovely taste of mac and cheese and tasting bananas...GROSS!

As for the exotic bar food Dan0...EW!  I'll stick with sliders and fries, the bar food of America!  ;D

Travel + Leisure Calls Philadelphia “America’s Next Great Food City”

http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/the-best-new-restaurants/9

This unsung destination has blossomed into one of the U.S.’s most exciting restaurant cities—Portland East?—with a fierce indie spirit and world-class kitchen talent. Peter Serpico, a veteran of New York City's Momofuku Ko, wowed us at his namesake Serpico with asparagus in garlicky pecorino broth and the now-famous pig’s head with burnt-onion mustard. If it’s comfort food you’re after, Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook (whose Zahav and Federal Donuts revitalized Sanson Street) opened two adjacent places, both equally worthy of attention. Inspired by the hummusiyas of Israel, the color-splashed Dizengoff is where earthy chickpea purées reach the stratosphere—especially when topped with heirloom zucchini and za’atar. Next door at Abe Fisher, co-chef Yehuda Sichel spins deliciously irreverent riffs on the foods of the Jewish diaspora (“borscht” is a beet tartare garnished with jewel-like trout roe). Another New York transplant, Eli Kulp (formerly of Torrisi), made sparks with his remake of the Fork three years ago. High Street on Market is its relaxed, more experimental sibling—the artisanal breads and the caraway-rye rigatoni with pastrami ragù are reasons alone to go to Philly.

These are Tomatoes (both cherry and beefsteak) and the tall ones are Brussel Sprouts. Not pictured are the Bell Peppers and Cantalope.

in about 4 weeks these will all go into the garden. I will then sow directly into soil the Okra, Jalapenos, Green Beans and Squash :)

I had never heard of this restaurant until yesterday.  There are several through out the country (including Dallas)

http://rodiziogrill.com/columbus/

Since I was attending with Greg's family, I had to pretend to somewhat enjoy it.  So you spend $35.00 for your meal but have no choice in how anything is prepared.  I was prepared to actually sample some of the meats until the waiter indicated they only prepare things medium rare.  They bring big slabs of raw meat to your table and slice it right onto your plate.

If forced to eat things like this, it must be cooked extra well done so I continually and politely refused each offering.  I did make a 2nd trip to the salad bar though.  And a 2nd glass of white zin @ $9.00 a glass.

So my $65.00 meal consisted of salad and wine.     :(

If anyone cares, Miss P held her 50th birthday dinner at the current hottest ticket in NYC -- which took two months to score a reservation (and is now booked until May). And wouldn't you know a mere three days before my dinner the restaurant received it's first New York Times review (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/04/dining/restaurant-review-cosme-in-the-flatiron-district.html) and obtained a stellar three stars.

#win

Not sure if it says so but currently the chef, Enrique Olvera, is rated #17 in the entire world, and has the #3 best restaurant in Latin America (http://www.theworlds50best.com/latinamerica/en/the-list/1-10/Pujol.html) (Pujol, Mexico City). And yes, he was actually there that night and my friend that was eating with me went up and introduced herself, since she owns a Spanish restaurant in the same neighborhood. Naturally Señor Olvera had already dined there (and I ate at her restaurant the night before that so I kind of had two birthdays).

Oh, and I also now know what a $500 bottle of wine tastes like.  :P

I had an "El Ninja" cocktail: Union Mezcal, Beefeater Gin, Cocchi Americano Vermouth, shiso shrub, ginger, lime, dehydrated pineapple

from the menu (http://www.cosmenyc.com/menu/menu.pdf) our table ordered (the restaurant serves small plates meant for sharing):

Uni tostada, chicharron, raw hamachi, octobpus cocktail, cobia al pastor, mushroom &  squash barbacoa and the duck carnitas for two (which easily feed three with leftovers) all served with the most amazing tortillas made from 3 kinds of corn from Mexico you've ever tasted.

This is the duck

(http://i57.tinypic.com/20sek1s.jpg)

Dessert was this incredible husk meringue With corn mousse and also another one I forget because the dessert menu isn't on line -- it was a chocolate ganache with some kind of ice cream.

I usually don't make a fuss for birthdays but this year I was determined to do so, mostly because the last "something-0" birthday where I had a good time was when I turned 30 and went to Puerto Rico with a group of friends. 40 sucked in terms of going out.

Plus since I'm walking slightly better (been on my target dose of 30mg of methadone now for two weeks) it just seemed possible to enjoy myself. I even walked three miles (with several breaks) last Wednesday which is the most I've done in two years. :D From the World Trade Center all the way up to Chelsea.

Here's a "pre-birthday" picture meaning the dinner out the night before my birthday at my friend's restaurant, Casa Mono (http://casamononyc.com).

Please people, please...do not crowd the computer screen...this is merely a delicious Ramen Burger.  The noodles were sauteed in teriyaki sauce and were soft but held together like a bun. Inside is a little lettuce and green onions.

It was DELIGHTFUL. Got this from the little Hawaiian Grille that opened up down the street.

I love almond milk,
Most brands have more calcium and less carbs than skim milk !

Would you know if it had more calcium than full fat milk ?
Skimmed milk is an insult to the cow , IMHO.

Maybe there's no need to worry about what we eat anyway

Warren Buffett has some pretty questionable eating habits (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/02/27/warren-buffett-has-some-pretty-questionable-eating-habits/?tid=sm_fb)

Warren Buffet drinks his first Coke of the day for breakfast. The second comes sometime not too long after. And the third he downs before heading out from work.

But that's not all: He actually has another two once he's home.

And he does it every day.

"I’m one quarter Coca-Cola," Warren Buffett told Fortune magazine this week. "If I eat 2700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it everyday."

That's nearly 200 grams of sugar in soda alone, or roughly 8 times what the World Health Organization recommends anyone eat in total each day.

And it's not as though Buffett stops there. He also loves potato chips (Utz potato sticks, in particular), which he washes down with soda. And he has a soft spot for ice cream, which he admittedly eats for breakfast from time to time, too.

"I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old," he told Fortune.

If that all sounds crazy, well, it should, because Buffett, who turns 85 in August, is a remarkable outlier.

Most people don't live until their mid-80s to begin with (life expectancy in this country is just over 78), much less when they subsist on the sort of dietary regimen Buffett seems to have.

Yes, some people might eat a less-than-ideal bucket of foods and be fine, but the consensus opinion among nutrition scientists is that things like soda, chips, and ice cream are indulgences, not everyday nourishment. They are, after all, linked to long-term weight gain.

Even small amounts of consistent soda consumption are associated with serious long-term risks of disease. Drinking just a single can of soda a day makes one 27 percent more likely to become obese, according to the California Center for Public Health Advocacy.

A diet like Buffett's should have serious repercussions. But Buffett has beaten the odds, it seems, not only in his financial investments but also in his long-term health, considering his pretty questionable eating habits.

Much like the crowds of fan-boy investors who mimic the famous thinker's every investment, and then see poorer results, anyone copying his daily food intake should probably expect the same.

OK,
Been on a diet since after the holidays ,
Lost almost 20 lbs . That was with being really careful with everything I ate.
Not getting much exercise with all the snow and icy roads,no long walks
With my dogs this past month hasn't helped.

Anyway I gained back 5 this week , wasn't being that bad really , just ate what
I wanted when out to breakfast, and splurged at my favorite Italian joint
They make their own pasta,and the carbonara with seared scallops is yummy !
Of course there were apps and drinks involved too.

If I can't do that without repercussions then Fuck It ,I'm just going to get Fat !
I might even go down the corner and get a clam roll with extra tarter taboot !

We had their thin crust pepperoni pizza w/ rosemary and garlic and bought the chicken w/artichokes and olives dinner to go. Best around and a bargain to boot. All fresh ingredients. He even makes his own pepperoni. Yum!

Wumpy's Garden is almost ready! I had to go buy a couple extra cinderblocks cause the neighbor borrowed a few to put his car up on.

I gotta hurry and get Betty and Marks Okry in!

Oh btw, anyone know what that plant is in there? I though it might be Brussel Sprouts that was leftover from last year and survived the winter, but not sure now. LOL. I guess Ill wait and see if anything grows on it.

Anyway... looking forward to the Okry! I don't even want to know what you will be using as fertilizer.

That plant looks like a cabbage to me but if you didn't plant cabbage it must be Brussel Sprouts.

Some of these snake oil potions might actually work.  In the 80's, it was believed that consuming small amounts of iodine would boost your immune system.  I actually did it for a while and I survived.

So within my circle, that's about a 1% success rate.   :o

I think mixing it with copious amount of white wine boosted it even further.

After he got my air working, he was anxious to discuss my woodworking skills.  I'm just young enough that I was working shirtless when he showed up.  I offered him a beer and he said cool since I was his last call of the evening.

Hopefully I will have some organic nutrition later this year.  My first garden at the new place.  If it does well, I'll probably turn this entire side yard into a garden next year.  I detest Cilantro so I've always made my own salsa as I eat it on pretty much on everything.  With my mother's illness last year, I didn't can any and have run out.  The previous year, I did about 60 pints.

For Ted's sake....let me bring this thread back to the surface where it belongs!  :-*


Ok, so I was in Houston last week, and ate at the best Mexican restaurant ever, (I used to eat there all the time when I lived in Houston), yes I am talking about GRINGO'S!  And I had their Pollo el Dorado, OMG...so good...Grilled chicken breast with a chipotle sauce that included mushrooms, onions, and andouie sausage, topped with some baby spinach.

Now boys and girls, you know this soul loves to cook, and try to recreate, did so last night, and I must say, my taste buds were fairly spot on.  I even made the avocado/sour cream sauce they put out with chips. *snaps*

Happy Eating, Wumpette Style!

I made Stuffed clams the other day.
Starts with shucking the clams . Separate the juice from the meat.
Sauté ground linguisa, onion ,red bell pepper in butter.
Add the clam juice and simmer 15 minutes.
Turn off heat , add bread crumbs ( I make my own from stale bread )
and ground raw clams. Use only enough bread to keep the mix firm,
and lots of clams ! Stuff the shells.
I usually make a huge batch , because they can be a big pain in the ass.
I wrap them in tin foil and freeze.
Take them out when you want some apps or a snack,
bake at 350 frozen about 45 minutes-1 hour.
Top with a butter pat and some hot sauce , and a Sam Adams ....Yum

It was in December of 2013 that I decided to visit David in Philadelphia for a few days and the weather was cold and wet most of the time. My intentions were to simply get to know him better and seeing the sights were secondary.

Well, That wasn't his plan at all as it turned out.

He wanted to show me everything he could that he loved about the city despite the weather, despite his painful feet. I kept telling him that I didn't arrive for a tour but he insisted on it and he actually tired us both out!

We did get to know each other better during the visit but since we are talking about food here....

David made sure that we go to some of his favorite places as well as a new restaurant that met up to his expectations.

He had a way of talking to the staff wherever we ate. He would mention the people he knew or had heard of in the restaurant business in NY and the conversation would go on forever. It wasn't about name dropping, it was about the food. He was in his element. We even got a free hors d'oeuvres one night due to his schmoozing with the cute waiter.

No trip would be complete for him (and me) if he didn't bring me to eat the chicken at Federal Donuts that he loved. He was right. Yum!

Now onto Di Bruno Brothers....

Cheeses and cured meats beyond description. I think he lived on them. It was a fascinating place and he rolled his eyes a time or two when I wasn't impressed by a sample. lol.

I won't even go into the coffee and tea places as this is getting long.

Anyway, he went out of his way to be the tour guide the entire trip.

Memories to be cherished.

Andouille sausage , peppers, onions ,celery Cajun spices and extra thyme.
Some chicken gizzards and a thigh for good luck. No tasso ,
so a chopped up hunk of ham worked , with
some more cayenne and of course rice. red beans on the side.
Have to admit I am partial to Gulf shrimp , but scallops worked.
And no neck bones to be found on the Cape......lol      country ribs it was !

There was always a cast iron skillet of bacon grease on gma's stove.  She fried bacon several times per day.  When the bacon was gone and you were hungry, then simply remove the moldy part of the bread and dip the good parts in the grease and enjoy.

I used to love this grease over a fresh salad until my pipes all became clogged.  :)

As it's was the Holidays and being that we can't get them in Ireland and all the Dutch ex-pats seem to love them I spend New years eve cooking "Oliebollen & Apple beignets"

Ollie-bollen, or (Oliebollen) is a dutch pastry similar to a doughnut. It typically is a deep fried pastry filled with raisins and dusted with powdered sugar.

Starting the new year off correctly.  Had my first cheeseburger today.  Not sure when I last had one.  I was doing much needed shopping today when my stomach was hurting and then I couldn't remember when I last ate. 

I happened to be by White Castle so I quickly pulled in the drive through and ordered a jalapeno cheeseburger.  I pretty much crammed it all in at once.  (insert jokes here).  Now I'll probably suffer from additional heart disease.

We had so much fun talking about random stuff, things that brought us to the forum...the fact that he likes to use "OK" a lot to respond to private texts, many laughs were shared a virtual friendship blossomed into physical friendship!

one of my favorite neighborhoods in atlanta is called cabbagetown. shotgun shacks built as mill housing for the fulton cotton mill, the area has become hipster and trendy. long abandoned, the mill is now loft condos.

mere steps away, through the krog tunnel, under the railroad tracks, past the graffiti, is the krog street market.

and here my foodie quest for the season was rewarded (and appropriately named)

at the cockentrice... yes, you read right. it even feels good to say... cockentrice

surprisingly, cock was not on the menu (i asked)

a farm to table, organic free range everything, hand raised and ethically killed... it was all too pretentious for this old hippie... my sandals were victim to some fierce side eye by men with rugged lumbersexual beards and skinny jeans.

i silently suffered their disapproving gaze, i held fast, i was on a holy mission from god, for ramps

my lunch

fried quail on a bed of spring ramps and vegetables, trotter bacon with apple gastrique and cornbread croutons... paired with a locally craft brewed eventide ipa

nah, that was a half quail... pretty meager bird... but half a gamecock is better than no cock at all

the bacon though, it was awesome... from the spotted trotter charcuterie shop, the coolest butcher in atlanta

all in all, the place was just ostentatious enough

hope it would meet MsP's approval, i'm gonna make it thing, a city walk to find ramps every spring

I don't know about anyone else but I have been off the grill almost the entire summer.
my poor boyfriend didn't know what he was getting into when I moved in 8 months ago. My last late partner and I had a great pool (26ft above-ground) and a huge grill (dual burners on the side). I got used to grilling out nearly every meal, which was easier than you think since that partner was addicted to hamburgers, hotdogs and grilled chicken.

Now with the new partner, I got us set up with a 15ft above ground and a grill big enough to grill a dozen burgers. This summer I learned how great turkey burgers are although I had never eaten one before. The only sad grilling issue is that since I "might" be allergic to pineapple my shish kabobs just don't seem to be as good. :( (I've been through a battery of tests that show nothing; but after having three "incidents" and being rushed to the hospital once, I'm not tempting fate)

We had a good friend die of AIDS/cancer earlier this spring and I really miss his "food porn" on facebook. He used to post recipes of the yummiest looking stuff! I think a piece of our friend passed on to my partner though as he started posting the food porn now. LOL So I've been working through the best of the postings. The pizza cake (layers of crust, pepperoni, sauce and cheese) was pretty good; but the reuben casserole was more than delish! Next up is the orange creamsicle bundt cake later this week.  <droooool  :P >

We finally got a farmer's market in our area about 3 years ago.  It started out small and only offered a small variety.  It became successful so it's gotten bigger each year.  They're only open on Wednesdays.

I could not believe the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables they now offer.  And it was packed with people.  Being in the farming belt, I'm surprised this never happened before.  I used to drive about 10 miles to our nearest one.

My newest food addiction this year is a fruit medley salad with feta cheese.  Never thought of feta and fruits combined but it's most excellent with a low cal raspberry vinegarette dressing.

thank you wolfie, i love seeing this thread pop back up

i went camping last weekend, had to get away from the shit for a couple days

just a short jaunt (about a mile) around the corner from my tent, i found the trendiest little market/rotted log

farm to table?! puhleese ... philly ain't got shit on this localvore, i forage for my gourmet fungi... found this log covered in chicken of the wood, also pretty sure i found chanterelles but without an ID book i wasn't sure so i didn't pick those

took some back to camp, sauteed it with olive oil, dehydrated snow peas, and onions

it paired well with fresh caught rainbow trout and a sweetwater IPA

chicken of the wood... it really does taste like chicken, same consistency too... kinda like tofu though, it'll take the taste of whatever you cook it with

Whoo...I'm impressed, that sounds delicious. Fresh caught rainbow trout taboot  ;)
I really need to get one of those mushroom books , I have seen those chicken shrooms before and never thought of eating them.

Someone gave me fresh some eggplants the other day.  I made eggplant and tomato sauce with meatballs. I know... it sounds weird but it was delicious.
The whole thing was simple and fairly quick.

The sauce was just 2 large cans of whole plum tomatoes gushed by hand, a can of water, lots of garlic, onion , olive oil and 1 large eggplant cut in 1" cubes. Salt, pepper and basil. Simmer about 20-30 minutes.

Meatballs are 1 pound of meat ( combo beef and pork ) 1 egg, 1/2 cup each parm cheese , bread crumbs, minced onion, season with salt , pepper and parsley.
Mix by hand and roll into small balls.
Drop into simmering sauce raw a few at a time . Cook another 30 minutes
Serve over a wide flat pasta.  Good Fall supper last night   :)

Spring has come to the hills in full force

Walking today with the dogs, spotted some chanterelles trying to start

And ramps just setting to leaf
