Hey BT and Jeff,

Can I ask you if this (diabetes) came on with the HIv or meds? The reason I ask is because My doc is always concerned about my Blood sugar (even though its always been good).. and Ive never asked her why the big concern.

jsut curious

Trust girl -- you'll be injecting insulin within 12 months. Mark my words.

DO NOT LIE ON THE INTERNET

[Miss Philicia]

Dinner tonight will be black squid ink fettuccine with ramp walnut and mint pesto!

COME AT ME H8TRS!

[mecch]

Geez I want that.  Do you drink with all this fine food or not so much?

[Miss Philicia]

Sometimes I have wine, but usually I just drink water -- HEALTHY!

Though right now I am having a glass of iced Bai Mudan white tea.

ps: I didn't make the ramp pesto -- found it in a local locavore-type shop mere blocks away yesterday.

[WillyWump]

Have you ever considered writing about your city's food scene? Maybe there could be some money in it? You have a lot of info, experience, good taste, and at the base you are open-minded and catholic so I never get a feeling of snobbism or the reverse, dilettantism.  You're a pretty great foodie.

A glass of red is healthy!! At least that's what I tell myself when im uncorking the bottle.

I went on a date once and the guy ordered something with squid ink, turned his mouth blue.   There was no second date.

Actually the place I bought the pasta and ramp pesto is owned by two brothers, one of which is a local food writer.

[Miss Philicia]

Dessert is organic, no-sugar applesauce with cinnamon. And more water.

In case you are wondering prep time for dinner was:

3 minutes to thaw pasta

3 minutes to cook pasta

1 minute to strain pasta

2 minutes to mix in pesto

1 minute to plate the feast

Total time: 10 minutes

SO NO EXCUES FROM YOU BANQUET EATING MICROWAVE QUEERS

Why did the chicken cross the road ? ... it was boredom . Miss P has been preparing to cook some scrawny Yankee chicken for 3 days now . Miss P doesn't need a slow cooker , she is one .   

[mecch]

You've seen the price of a "real" free-range bio local chicken.  Must be cooked with respect. 

[WillyWump]

LMAO!

I read her recipe she sent me, and it seems she wont actually be eating this chicken until next week, Even though she started it today.

Please! It's a ROASTED CHICKEN! knock the beak off and throw it in the oven already

[Miss Philicia]

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.



AND YOU BITCHES CAN JUST SUFFAH AT MY FIERCE 24 HOUR BRINING PROCESS AND GO SNATCH YOURSELF SOME MCNUGGETS AT THE DRIVE THROUGH.

[Jeff G]

It sounds vile .

[WillyWump]

Are you sure all that stuff goes together? Lime infused honey and Fish sauce, etc..?

Are you ok?

[Jeff G]

I think he's just water boarding poultry ... torture .

[bocker3]

So.....   when is the Miss P, Wumpy & Jeff threesome going to take place ---- and will it get posted?? 

[Miss Philicia]

[buginme2]

Fish sauce is actually pretty tasty.  There is a large Vietnamese community in Seattle and all the Vietnamese shops sell these sandwiches on French bread with pork cilantro cucumber and fish sauce.  They are Damn good, and cheap.

[Jeff G]

I love fish sauce .... and clam sauce on my pasta .

[Miss Philicia]

delish: Bánh mì -- and there are many varieties.

Should I assume you adore phở as well? IMO fish sauce isn't really overwhelming at all.

[buginme2]

I do like pho also however, I usually get vegetarian which isn't really authentic. 

There used to be the most awesome Vietnamese shop in the greyhound bus station in downtown Seattle.  You had to step over passed out, piss covered, bums to get to the shop.  But they had the most amazing pho and sandwiches.  During lunch time the line would be out the door with of yuppie executives from amazon.com lined up waiting.  It's closed now, being torn down to build some skyscraper.  Shame.

I'm going over to Little Saigon next week and buying one of these:

This will be an entire new endeavor to drive Jeff and WumpyDumpy up the wall.

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.)

Girl, fish sauce is a must have in my pantry. The girls from Pettycoat Junction would be surprised to know how many restaurants keep it on hand as a staple.

Well now, after that fish sauce faux pas via Zurich let's get things back on track -- I have an HIV doctor appointment in exactly 40 minutes!



Then it's onward to roasting that lovely chicken!

Naw, it's smoking and klonnie -- because my cd4 count just went up to 1714 and 55.3% with total cholesterol at 179 mg/dL

[Miss Philicia]

SAFFAH BITCHES



... and how in the world am I able to concoct such things in a kitchen this size?

[mitch777]

Just WOW.


ps- I would like to see the presentation of the plate after all of your hard work.

[Miss Philicia]

Looks a bit gloppy in a pyrex dish -- my fancy dinnerware that I inherited from my grandmother with large serving platters is back in Virginia. My apologies for not being a fussy Connecticut queen with a gurgling stream and pond.



I'm roasting the potatoes right now so I won't sit down to eat for another hour.

I bought this bottle of wine to go with it all: http://www.chamberswines.com/wine.php?wineid=RGS350_09

[WillyWump]

I'll admit it looks delish, but I'm not sure I would have the patience to wrestle with a chicken for 2 days before I can eat it. Especially when i can trot down to Walmart and get one of those ready baked chickens they have at the checkout line.

On vicodin now so please forgive my critique. (tooth)

Gloppy, yes.
Taste?

Was it worth it?
Total honesty as we KNOW we must not lie on the web.

Dinner is finally served! I must say it's delicious and the blood orange element is the key! Hooray for 24 hour brining!

I hope the rest of you are enjoying your take out from Wendy's, Krystal's and Syeed's Infamous Taco Shack.



I'm even using my linens from Henri Bendel, my iittala wine glasses and my Georg Jensen silverware!

[bocker3]

Your plated meal looks delicious, however that hot mess in the Pyrex dish looked vile.
