What is in that? (besides corn and carrots obviously)

There's different variations, but mine is chicken breasts, cabbage, corn, carrots, stewed toms, onions and near the end I put in big chunks of zucchini. Serve in a bowl with a spoon of rice on top and corn tortillas on the side.

Ps- I put a head of garlic in mine (which I remove when its done), shhhhh don't tell the Mexicans they come unglued over the garlic

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!!" .

ahhhh, good times!

Isn't that in one of those cheap faux dutch ovens from the Dollar Store?

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.

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.

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.

How to drink like a proper Southerner..

Preferably with some white bucks on.

[mecch]

I wore white bucks on Wall Street with seersucker and poplin suits.
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 wore blue suede shoes to see Quentin Crisp on stage at Long Wharf in New Haven in 1978. He was delighted and pointed it out to the entire audience. LOL.

[Miss Philicia]

I much prefer a pair of saddle shoes, and yes I own some. Paired with Gauthier seersucker.

Hmm.. I had a pair of those in 6th grade. Liked them but went with the trend of platform shoes 2 or 3 years later. 5' 11" tall (without the shoes) and 118 lbs. Major laughs in hindsight. Most days now I just wear my comphy slippies.

So it's a battle of sorts between Micky Dee's and Spam for the tripe. Who knew? lol.

[Jeff G]

I had a shake from Mcdees the other day but I cant eat the food there anymore , I can make do if I have too with some pretty nasty food but MD is just disgusting to me these days .

I have kind of lost my apatite in general here lately , not like me at all .

[Habersham]

I'm not afraid of tripe - makes me hungry for some Philadelphia Pepperpot Soup like they served at Wanamakers back in the day.

[Miss Philicia]

It's all about gras-double à la lyonnaise made from the stomach of an ox... famous in Lyon. Or their andouillettes sausage from pork stomach and veal intestines.

How McDonald's and Wal-Mart Became Welfare Queens

[Miss Philicia]

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! 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.

YUM! Throw it in a microwave and slather some sweet/tangy sauce on it and I am totally down!

[mitch777]

So I finally made some cookies the other day. First time in years. Lemon-pistachio.

I had them stacked on a plate on the kitchen counter. Well, this morning I discovered that the cookies were tossed all over the counter and every single nut was gone!

Damned mouse!

[WillyWump]

Damned mouse!

I finally got rid of my mouse. I'm sure he died of Obesity/Mouse Diabetes after eating all my bread and donuts.

I'm gonna miss him. He was a spunky thing, defeating every trap I put out. Even manged to drag himself out of a glue trap. Of course I never tried to poison him but he prolly would have defeated that as well.

[Miss Philicia]

... off to the Rittenhouse Square farmers' market. I wonder what they will have there for mid-November. Probably a lot of turnips and parsnips don't you think?

[Theyer]

In London I have lived with darting mouse for 22 years i have lived in the flat. The flat shares basements with a least 10 other properties. 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. Very expensive infestation.

Turnips +Neaps in Scotland urg. Do like curried cream off  Parsnip Soup though.

[uncertain]

I love Cinnabun!

and celery root. squashes. potatoes. beets. cabbage.  brussel sprouts. endives and leeks (available all year but to me they are winter veges).

I made pot au feu this weekend but added miso to make it extra warming.

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.

Don't you have a homey soul food place (or chinese joint in a black neighbourhood, often enough) with take out ribs, collard greens, mac n cheese, pie? In a styrofoam container. For about the same price as McD?  Real food....  ?

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 like you.

Not only do I like Cinnabun, but I like your tourette style cinnabun outburst in the middle of mouse talk You'll do well here.

[Miss Philicia]

I never go to Cinnabon. Thank goodness we have real bakeries where I live.

In fact, I am pondering walking down to Artisan Boulanger Patissier in a few minutes, the only thing holding me back is that it's 44F right now. Maybe I'll just have a nice bowl of granola.

Then I think I may go see NY Times Critic Pick Blue is the Warmest Color this afternoon (matinee prices!)

Dinner will be grilled lamb chops, a cold pasta salad, and blanched tuscan kale

[uncertain]

Cinnabun is tacky but I took my French friend there in London and he loves his Paris pastries, and he LOVED Cinnabun and now goes to Trafulgar square to have them.  I admit they are a bit trashy but when I used to work in the mall growing up, they were my downfall and about once a year, if in a cinnabun airport I'll have the carmel pican!
