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)

If it didn't come out of a drive-thru window, it's not true "Wumpette style", only a sad imitation.

@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.

I had a date with someone who has decent feet and not those hoove things that you have that the doctors keep chopping on. Anyways, Went to Cici's pizza and stuffed myself with Hot cinnamon rolls... (I may have to take 4 fish-oils to counteract the 2 platefulls of rolls)

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

I never knew that Miss P had club-feet, now the word is out :D

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.

One of those cinnamon rolls looks like a chicken wing... are you sure you got what you paid for?
-
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 have to admit, them rolls look kinda scary to me ;D

My neighbor got food poisoning at CiCi's Pizza. He still went back because apparently it is a lot of food for a little money. I have never eaten there.
-
Im seriously thinking about buying a takeout pan of those tonight, I think you can get a pan for $5.99. I know a pan of gooey hot cinnamon rolls is not good for my elevated cholesterol but DAMMIT Ive been so good diet-wise I really need to fall off the wagon, if only for a night.

Miss P I'm glad to see you made it safely out of the Trailer Park, though I must confess I was looking forward to bailing you out of there, if only for the experience.
Will concerning the Cinnamon Rolls, I can only say I'm glad they taste better than they look.. ;)

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'm eating what ever I want to from now on . I ran , I worked out and ate the right foods and my lipids are still sky high so why bother . Last night was fried potato's with fried pork chops . I had a half of apple brown Betty pie and a small bag of chili Frito's before bed .
-
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,
resident Uppity-Yank

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.
-
Party Mix? As in Chex Party Mix? That's very high in salt, or it is when my mother makes it at Christmas. Between that and gorging on salt-cured country ham I return home with elevated blood pressure.
-
Doesn't anyone in here like horse cock, we call it that :D but it's really (Polish or knotwurst, are Hot Links) d'Yum, those are so good with Sauerkraut & Dark-Imported-Beer :P

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.

Did anyone catch Modern Marvels "All About Cold Cuts" last night? They had a segment on how they make Salami. Very interesting. They also showed Carnegie Deli's Pastrami making. The downside to the episode was when they showed how bologna was made...I love bologna (of course) but never really wanted to know how it was made. Its pretty disgusting, Before its cooked its just emulsified meat pieces in a huge vat, it resembles a gooey paste. :-\

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. Santi's not down w/ that. Ferociously anti-carb unless alcohol is involved.

Key is tasty mustard.

I won't bother asking who here eats Prosciutto di Cinghiale.
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.
-

I saw too many reports on television when I lived in NYC about the rodent situation in the warehouses where they store those carts. And how the heated water the hot dogs are cooked in routinely tests for something nasty, can't recall the specifics.

had an amazing Dog from one of those carts on Wall St, or Broad Street, somewhere down in front of the Stock Exchange a couple years ago. It really was fantastic! Stomach survived it, but I do have a cast iron stomach.

OMG, gonna ahve to make this and take it to my Aunties Thurs. Btw, one of the best things about Thanksgiving in the south is how we can turn a perfectly healthy vegetable into a gooey sugary dessert that masquerades as a side dish ;D
"Fluffy sweet potatoes mixed with butter, sugar, and vanilla, and baked with a crunchy pecan streusel topping"
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-potato-casserole-ii-3/detail.aspx

I just cook them sweet-potatos up like mashed potatos, sweet potates are just that, you don't need any of that sugar, and vanilla, I just put low-fat butter on them & serve them up just the way they are..d'yum
Willy, I fear that your gonna up with DIABETES if your not careful with all that sugar intake, you know better than that ;)

Thanksgiving in the south
it's NOT truly a Southern sweet potato casserole dish if it doesn't have a layer of toasted marshmellows on the top.

True that, I kinda miss eating all of that stuff (makes me home sick) pumpkin pie or sweet-potatoe-pie is about as far as I wanna go, and that's without anything else on it not even the whip-cream ??? as I still have horrible GI- disease , so I had to give up all of the fats & sugars, sweets make me very ill now-a-days :-[

pumpkin pie ... not even the whip-cream
poor baby! no whip cream on your punkin pie?!?! :'(

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.
-
I decided to kick off my Thanksgiving celebrations a little early this year. Pumpkin Boston Coffee Cake! 24 oz worth of this stuff, no wonder everyone looks like a sloth up here.

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.

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.

Oh, now this is good fun. The NY Times had a Thanksgiving link two years ago showing the top 50 search terms on Allrecipes.com for recipes, and breaks down geographically. It's a great way to see regional differences.

Thank goodness I live somewhere that doesn't worship those vile green bean casserole's with condensed cream of mushroom soup and fake friend onions. :D , deviled eggs (gross!) or nasty pecan pies (it's all about double layered pumpkin chiffon cheesecake I say!). And notice how low "pie crust" rates in the South -- it's because they use those frozen pie shells. :-[
And such low rankings for corn pudding in the Deep South -- what is wrong with you people?

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.
I hate this crap, I really, really do. What a lame Thanksgiving.

Roasted red bell pepper soup here tonight with a pimiento cheese sandwich. Its been so warm around these parts we did the grill thing this evening. The soup is actually pretty good with a few sauteed shallots and a bit of sour cream in it.

I walked seven blocks for a cheese steak from Cosmi's Deli (the legendary place that tourists don't know about)

I used to have the most lovely feet -- everyone said so during jaunts to Miami as I ran around in my Gucci sandals at the Tides... but alas, no more. I'll just be happy if I can walk with no pain.
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.
-

I like them -- they make them at the fish shop around the corner that I went to this afternoon when I bought tuna -- 3 kinds. They also make Mexican lobster rolls.

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.
-
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.

There is an all you can eat Chinese place near my house that has really good sushi . I will gladly take the ridicule for admitting I eat sushi at an all you can eat place but its really good food there . The sea weed salad is my newest thing to love .
Most of my friends who come to visit are not on a budget like I am and balked at eating there the first time , now I cant get them to go anywhere else . My friend Micheal who is Chinese was the hardest one to convince to try the place but now he is the one that loves the sushi there the most .

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.
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.

I will only eat sushi at an upscale restaurant due to quality control of raw fish. It's really just common sense. Same with raw oysters -- I will not buy them at a dumpy place.

However, a nice cheese steak can be had at a shack.

It wasnt "in the bowl vegetarian noodle restaurant" was it? Soooooooooooo good. Everything is vegetarian but you wouldnt know it because they use fake meat. The fake chicken curry is to scrumptious. If it was this place then you were safe, it wasnt real meat.

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.

Baby steps and all that, and my baby step is eating Quaker Oats and a banana for Breakfast EVERY morning replacing the fried egg and bacon or breakfast tacos I've been eating for the past 30 years. Besides my doc just told me to start with the Fish Oil for now, she didnt say anything about Diet. Yall were the ones that freaked out over my diet :-*
-
PUH-Leaze.
Anyways,
Tonight I made a Chicken and Rice and Peas Casserole :) And yes, Philly those are French Fried Onions on the top ::)
(I'm gonna need to pop another Fish Oil to counteract all the fat in this one)

That is so gross looking. And you're obviously not taking your lipid health in any serious manner, and when you suffer a massive heart attack we shall all dance on your grave.

Now for what Wumpy should be cooking: pan seared Ahi Tuna in garlic, drizzled after resting with blood orange vinegar, rice pilaf with lentils, and a simple salad of raw baby spinach. Drink: water

OK, I'll bite. What's a bottle of Taittinger's doing in that list? I will, however, agree that it's a delightful bottle of Champagne.

Its produced in their California vineyards.
Several French houses have California domaines, its all delicious, and we NEVER see it on shelves in Europe.

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
Top each of the tomato sauced bread slices with the ham, a pineapple ring and cheese slice
Place buttered bread on top of cheese (butter side up)
Place "Wumpy Sangers" butter side down in hot frypan for 2 minutes.
Butter exposed uncooked bread and then turn "Wumpy Sanger" over and cook for further 2 minutes (or until cheese is melted).
Serve with 1.25ltre bottle of coke and sara lee baked cheese cake topped with whipped cream and a crumbled pepermint crisp chocolate bar over the top.
Bon Appetite!

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 :)

I was jonesing yesterday when I was down south and I stopped at a traditional market. They had just put out a stock of freshly grilled mutton ribs.
I like them, but they are so full of cholesterol, I did but look

Oh, they have those horrendous pickled eggs in pubs in the UK sitting up on all of the bars. And they wonder why everyone goes outside and vomits vociferously at closing time.

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.
When was the last time you were here anyway?

A pickled egg with a bag of salted crisps and a bottle of coca-cola was my favourite treat when I was 8.

Rats - tasteless tortellini. Every variety of supermarket tortellini is bland in Switzerland. (Makes note never to buy again.... Mumbles would have been better off with spaghetti and garlic.)

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.

FIVE GUYS :o
Now some of you may gasp in horror at the display below, however I opted out of the cheese or mayo on the burger, only lettuce and mustard and mushrooms. PLUS apparently the fries are fried in peanut oil, which according to their menu has no cholesterol in it?
*burrrrp* Scuse me.

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.

Only in moderation Wumpette, I certainly wouldn't eat that everyday, we would definitely be dancing on your grave ;D

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.

Well, I barreled through the 170 mark before christmas. But since Ive been on crutches for the last week I am sure I have lost a few pounds. (It such a pain in the ass to fix dinner or go to fast food joints while on crutches). but let me go get an official figure...

While we are waiting for an official weigh in figure.....
Good news for phild!!!!
Just saw that Five Guys is opening up about a mile from where I live -

I thought you were around that -- so why did you say you'd blimped up 30 pounds a few months ago? I don't recall any miraculous dieting... quite the contrary. Hence the suspected lying, kind of like with your age.

Naw, we have five guys downtown, down South, up North (where my brother lives) and even up where my mother is - but there were none within 5 miles of my place - this one is like a five minute ride away - if that.
I will have to check out the Alaska Roasting Company this weekend - see what kind of coffee they have going on and see what kind of coal fired pizzas they have.

See this is how rumors get started, you take facts and then start massaging them (kinda like you do to my age) it wasnt 30 pounds it was 19 ::) and I used to weigh around 147ish up until I quit smoking, then ballooned up into the mid 160's.

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.

Oh yeah.... crusty, chewy bread... I don't even need the accoutrements inside the hoagie! :) Texas is a bread wasteland.
Wumpy, are you going to extoll the virtues of Texas Toast? :P I picture you dipping thick slabs of white bread toast into cream gravy.

Oh yes yes yes. Nothing better than a nicely done Texas Toast with butter (not margarine) and placed face down on a skillet till goldn brown, then take that bad boy and run it through some thick peppery cream gravy. uhhhhh, YES!
and actually Dairy Queens Ssteak finger basket with texas toast and gravy is not bad . (I know youve had that Henry )

I wasn't even aware that Dairy Queen was still in existence.

Guille, not for nothing, but the stuff you like to eat is rather deplorable. I bet you're a big fan of Steak n Shake.

Speaking of the ultimate in restaurant nastiness -- did you ever dare eat at a Tad's Steaks in NYC? I'm not even sure if they still exist, but they were there in the late 80's early 90's and one day a friend and I made a big dare to go eat there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUjk8MzBIv8
Oh, and they had wine by the glass on the buffet line covered with shrink wrap -- CLASSY!
-
Also, can I just say O.M.G.! I had two frozen White Castle cheeseburgers five hours ago and ever since have been plagued by the worst Norvir related anal leakage -- skidmarks for days and the most horrendous gas. I finally pushed out two turds that looked like they came out of a corpse.

Hell to the naw; it's always looked too cheap a dive to me. My cousins say it is supposedly good, but I don't trust their taste when it comes to food. Oh, and that pre-served wine with plastic wrap is just tacky and nasty.

ANYone who eats frozen cheeseburgers deserves this, I dont care if they are White Castle. Seriously hon, I thought you were better than that.

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.

Sugar, there's an art to slumming. And you should be impressed that these were purchased at a convenience store which (strangely) next to Lacoste and two stores down from Tiffany's. And Armani is across the street.

Poor BK. They're trying so hard to rescue their failing chain. I fear they won't be around in five years time. The debacle began when they chose that creepy character as their mascot. Too bad, cause out of the three grease-fest chains I think they are not "as bad".

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.

In Santa Fe New Mexico the min-wage is 10 to 12 dollars an hr. now they wanna rise that to 15 to 18 dollars an hr. WAY TO GO Santa Fe, NM, all you other queers in your poor ass States are lagging behind....get with the program ;D

I never eat at BK. At least where I live the clientele at their locations leaves me wanting. Oh, and get this -- there are two BK's downtown within a block of each other.
I used to go to Wendy's but haven't been in years. Once Five Guys opened downtown with two locations it's the only burger I will indulge. Until I discovered this that is... (https://www.facebook.com/500Degrees)

How classy of you. I'm sure you used the imported poppers as you reached the film's dénouement.
-
You want classy girl? I just scored some nitrite-free applewood double-smoked bacon (only 7 slices -- take that Paula Deen!) and free range pastured hen's eggs (thank you, farm-to-table movement).
Dinner, however, will be grilled lamb merguez, roasted potatoes, and arugula with purple carrots and blood orange vinaigrette. And I'll open a bottle of Cataregia Gran Reserva (Tempranillo/Cabernet, Spain)
ps: I skipped that 500degrees cheeseburger and truffle fries for lunch :) I'll have hot water and cigarettes instead -- it's the diet I picked up from Jean Doumanian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Doumanian) when she was a client in the mid-90's :) omg i just name dropped for dayzzzzz

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'm I the only one in here that likes to eat goat meat?
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Factsheets/Goat_from_Farm_to_Table/index.asp

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 ???
-
I detest that mysterious mixture of chicken lips and asses. It doesn't take a degree in biological sciences to see that those "nuggets" ain't made with real chikin.

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 .

Does anyone remember Panchos? It was an all you can eat MExican Food Bufffet tragedy back in the 80's. There were little mexican flags on the tables and anytime you needed more flautas or Sopapillas (the only thing worth ordering there) you would raise the flag up the little flag pole and the waitress woudl come scurrying over. Ahhh memories.

Now I'm craving Mexican, and Seattle sucks for good Mexican food.
Miami sucks as badly in that respect. There are a couple of semi decent places down in Homestead, but nothing worth writing home about. Then there's Rosa Mexicano (http://www.rosamexicano.com/Locations/MiamiFL/tabid/101/Default.aspx) in Brickell, but it was just ok.
Then again we do have some phenomenal Cuban, Colombian, Peruvian, Jamaican, and Nicaraguan places.

The best places to eat in miami are those hole in the walls (no puns please)... Argetinian in South Beach then Colombian near the square yummie and Calle Ocho has really good authentic cuban foods ji ji ji

There are no brown people in Seattle, hence we have crappy options for anything south of the border.

There's even a shop to buy live chickens in Little Mexico, though I think the Vietnamese operate it. The Italians, naturally, don't care for either of them.

Are you kidding? Last time I was in Seattle, half of the high Crop. elevators were filled with Indians/subcontinent aka "browns". Believe it not, it's the same case in every cities in the States. 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!
I always thought Mexican food is a distant poor cousin of refined Indian food.
Why poor? Last time I checked per capita income....
I feel the same way about the Cuban foods. Tasty and very much Indian like except for the 'beans' part and Cuban foods - oh yummy...
-
It's obvious from his wording as well as the context of the conversation that buginme was referring to Latin Americans.
-
I'm sure there's a lot of great Mexican food in New Delhi.
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.
ps: Bangladeshis also used to run most of the porn shops in Times Square before it was Disneyfied :)

Seriously Den? I live in San Antonio, Texas. the Tex Mex Capitol of the world ::)
I also eat about a pound of Sopapillas a week. lol.
You eat a pound of Sopapillas a week, good lord man.........lol ;D can you even shit or are you constipated all the time ;D
New Mexico has a lot of Latino & Native American influence, it's every-where here in Albuquerque, it's in the food and enbeded into the local culture, were almost nothing like Texas accept for all the Cow-pokes here :D
and we certainly don't have any bible-thumpers going door-to-door telling every one how to live their fucking life :) you Texans are a different breed......lol
-
Are you kidding?
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).

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.

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.

shut up trailer park boy -- you don't brew tea in that you only use it for serving
... and let me know when you graduate to brewing your coffee in a Chemex pot

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.)

I think you're looking at my paper towel holder. And please, that's fake marble :) I live in a rental though they just put that counter top and new cabinets in early December. It's why they jacked up my rent.

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.

You poor thing -- that's the kind of place suburban losers go to in the US. That's a fajita and quesadilla place, or rather a small part of their menu. IIRC fajita's aren't even served in Mexico proper -- it's an American bastard child item.

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 :)

Of course next to Nikkis frozen Yogurt was Papa Deans Popcorn (world famous), so I had to step in there and get a couple bags...

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...

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.

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).

I've not been there. But there is a similar place n Austin on 4th street that I use to frequent, however the name escapes me.

Evidently you have never tried a delicious Labskaus (http://germanfood.about.com/od/hamburg/r/Labskaus.htm) or a good Rote Beetesalat (http://www.thegermankitchen.com/index.php/recipes/2009/04/rote-rubensalat-red-beet-salad-recipe/). You would definitely change your mind, Mr. Deutschland.

I suspect you are referring to The Ginger Man. They have moved a couple of blocks and are now on Lavaca St. Or you may have been referring to the Waterloo Brewing Company, which used to be on 4th & Guadalupe Streets, but that was a loooong time ago.

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.
Regards,
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.

The Ginger Man...YES! that was such an awesome place. So many memories .
and oh yes, I've been to Walburg a time or 2. Love that town, wished I had a reason to move there, lol. I actually quite LOVED living in Liberty Hill. It was such a quaint place to get away from the Hubbub of Austin.

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.

Cute quaint little place.
I may have to venture out tomorrow and see if I can find some good Italian handmade sausage down here.

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.

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.

My personal fave from the brands that you can find at any supermarket is Fage (http://www.fageusa.com/).
-
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.

Still need to try the Fage as well.

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.

Lately a lot of the quality but industrial chocolate seems too sweet and cloying to me. Such as Lindt. And I don't like 75% or above, dark, usually.
But I found two different brands of kitchen chocolate - or baking chocolate - that are cheap and taste just right! Anyone else like baking chocolate?
I dont like the baking chocolate. I'd rather chew on my shoe. Also remember that to get the good heart healthy stuff in chocolate it needs to be 70%cocao or above.

After my glutonous day yesterday with the Steak, baked potato, Java Chillers, etc.. I had a healthy day and started off with Oatmeal and low fat milk, and then had a protein shake for lunch.
I also went walking/jogging today, and since I know most of you whales have never been on a walking trail I thought I might take yall along with me :)
It was such a lovely day, with flowers blooming everywhere already (thank you global warming)

They may be just incredibly dirty --they seem to be covered by some yellowish substance (piss? Beer? Egg yolk?).
Still, La Willa needs better walking/running shoes; whatever he's sporting there (are those Adidas shell tops?) don't look like the proper shoes for it.
Ps./ I liked your slutty avatar better than this homie that you're sporting now.

OK, first, try Noosa Yogurt. It is supposedly Aussie style, made in Colorado.
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.
HUGS,
Mark

Wilma needs some Vibram Komodosports (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/Five-Fingers-Komodo-Sport-Mens.htm) dontchathink?
Also, it's all about Pequea Valley Farm peach yogurt! It's such a small outfit here locally in Lancaster that they don't even have a web site. This will just have to do (http://hometownprovisions.net/2011/05/featured-product-pequea-valley-farms-yogurt/)

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. I can't walk barefoot anymore because of my high arch issues, so I need something minimal that will still hold my orthotics in place. 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.

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.

The buffet at China City, 3524 S New Braunfels Ave receives a 94% approval on Urbanspooon (http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/39/1613800/restaurant/South-Side/China-City-Buffet-San-Antonio).

But what really looked great were the hot italian sausages behind the counter, and by that I mean the clerks :) It also looked like they had an open-air market there on 9th street, something like what we would call a farmers market here.

Child please -- I've made many a post about the fabulousness of that street here. In fact I have a garlic and wine sausage in the fridge right now which I'll probably have for dinner :) Those are the fresh ones. You probably saw the salumi cured meats hanging from the ceiling, right? Those are magnificent, and so many different kinds (mortadella, prosciutto and lardo) -- salt cured all of them, so not great for one's cardiovascular health and thus should be eaten sparingly.
I take it one can not find such things in that colony of Northern Mexico where you regrettably live?

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!

But there's not much reason to further the discussion when a Texan and resident of the Isle of Man consider pancetta to be just like English or American bacon simply because it's also made from pork belly.
'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.
Stick that in your food-processor and grind it.

I'm not sure why a simple $20 non-electric kitchen apparatus would be viewed as "pretentious" as opposed to an expensive food processor.
Do you have a banger stuck up your feces-encrusted bunghole today?

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.
Like I said to you earlier - please do KEEP UP!

Unlike you, Miss P has actually had anal dysplasia and had a lesion zapped with a laser. But the beauty of this forum is that folks are free to prattle on and on about things with which they have no direct experience. Like the use of a food mill.

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!

In other, better, news...Here's the beginning of my "Salsa Garden", Tomatoes and Jalapenos. I bought 2 types of Tomatoes, one cherry and one Patio Tomato that does well in a large container. (I have a yard but im too lazy to dig).
Maybe Ill get around to planting them in large pots soon.
Arent they delighful!

No, because I make excellent salsa. I don't have to grow tomatoes because I'm surrounded by farmer's markets instead of dried out, drought stricken sagebrush. When you really want to see God's Country I'll drive you out to Lancaster County (with a rental car, natch).

... must be Rev. Moon
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

Rev doesn't give it up for anything less than a full combo meal. Dollar menu is so passe.

I cannot believe that they're going around saying that I'm 47!! What do I look like, Willy Woompa or somebody? Oh, and LaTrey is partially right: I go for the full combo. They failed to mention the three blow jobs that I had to give in order to get me some chicken nuggets and two apple pies.

Blowjobs are like the handshake of the gay community. "Hi nice to meet you" -> Blowjob.

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.

Hey, that used to be my avvy not too long ago.
Anyways, in honor of the fact that this is topic has now moved to #4 in the top ten (by replies --still a few hundred posts behind a certain "blog") here's a picture of a delicious and "healthy" bandeja paisa. This one is from a so-called "fusion" Colombian restaurant in Brooklyn. Notice the fried arepa and chicharrón. Sadly, they did not include one of its key components, the Spanish chorizo.
I'm sure that Philicia's had it once or twice before while hanging with my cha cha sisters.

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?
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.

The purple stuff on the top left looks like beetroot.
And I'm sure that's freshly ground large peppercorns from one of those fancy pepper mill's on top of the egg.

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...
(http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz42/livebythemoon/ff437ff5.jpg)
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.

ps: sweet tea is vile
May 13th. so prepare to be A-M-A-Z-E-D.
I limit myself to only 1 sweet tea every couple days. Dont wanna get "The Sugars" like Paula now do i ;)
-
If you bought decent loose leaf tea (I recommend Bai Mudan) and brew it yourself you don't need sugar.

Sweet tea was all that was served in my house growing up, and I never liked it. I never understood how nice regular iced tea was until I became Yankee-fied.
-
I think I've had sweet tea once or twice in my life (and only cause I had to be polite); it reminds me too much of a sweet drink that I hated as a child which is made from sugar cane juice.

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.

The problem with some sweet tea is people put SO much sugar in it that it's not really tea with some sugar it becomes syrup with tea flavoring. Lightly sweetened is the way to go.
Iced Tea has no appeal to me after years of having tried it I prefer water.

That's because you have not had my iced tea (http://www.teavivre.com/info/guide-to-making-white-peony-tea/). However, I don't act out Angel Chen's elaborate tea ceremony, but I do own a lovely ASA Selection white ceramic tea set (http://www.asa-selection.com/shop2/index.php?cat=c25_CHAI.html) from Germany.

My mother was from Massachusetts and this is what we had in the house to drink growing up in NC: unsweetened instant iced tea. Nasty. I didn't know what sweet, brewed tea tasted like until I was a teenager.
(http://s.ecrater.com/stores/183263/4cd564ef3bfe9_183263n.jpg)
Growing up we drank water, milk, Kool-aid, instant tea and we were allowed one half glass of orange juice daily, because it was expensive. We were allowed soft drinks at restaurants, not at home.

My Moms Tea is so sweet it gives me an instant sore throat if I drink it .
I tease my mom and step dad about the tea thing by calling them tea Nazis because they only drink one brand and bitch about everyone else tea when in fact what they love is horrid . They once sent me to the store for tea bags and I brought home the wrong brand and my easy going step dad followed me around ranting that I know better and should only buy Tetley tea ... the tea with a T , cant you remember the tea with the T . I laughed at him and he slunk away embarrassed .

The problem with some sweet tea is people put SO much sugar in it that it's not really tea with some sugar it becomes syrup with tea flavoring.
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. There really is nothing better that syrupy sweet tea with a big lemon wedge in it, along with a plate of bbq (pulled pork), slaw, and hush puppies. :P <drool!>

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 ::)

I agree! The proper way to make sweet tea is to add the sugar in while it's steeping

-
The reason Southerners need to suffocate their tea with sugar is because they insist on using shit quality tea. This should surprise absolutely nobody.

Southerns are fanatical about tea ... if the Republicans put a tax on tea the south would be voting Obama next election . We need no Yankee advice about tea down here ya hear !

If you want tea -- taste the damned tea. There is no need for any sweetening of iced tea (either while steeping or when cold). If you want a sweet drink, go make some Kool-aid.
Tea -- straight up -- ice only. Of course, I drink my coffee black too -- no cream, no sugar. I know, I know -- how butch!

I agree on the no sugar part. No need for that crap in my coffee or tea.

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

I was shocked to learn Pizza hut won best pizza in town when I lived in San Diego . Bad food sometimes gets good reviews in tourist city's . I had family visit me in chicago and insist on going to Planet Hollywood or the Hard Rock ... I hated going to those places when there was so much excellent local flavor too be had .

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)

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*
Ohh PS- I failed to mention that I add fresh mushrooms and onions to my gravy.

If there are drippings you aren't using the 96% lean ground beef you should be using considering your lipid issues.

Willy-dear,
You do know that you should fast for 12 hrs prior to a lipid draw right? (Unless, of course, your doctor directs otherwise) If you don't, they will be testing the fat content of your homemade gravy and Sonic Chiller.
Which, given you diet, might actually provided some lower results.......... :-*
Hugs,

Shopping with WillyWump :
I sauntered down to the Central Market on Broadway and picked up a few goodies this afternoon...
Let me begin by saying it's hot as hell today, my car had this but I hear the airport was only 103..and yes, I need gas.
(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/cen4.jpg)
Before shopping I had to stop by their Cafe and I had a lovely Apple Burger. Yes, a burger with Graany Smith apple slices, Feta cheese and Black Angus Beef...TO DIE FOR! I orgasmed 2 times.
(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/cen.jpg)
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..

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.

Of course I've been to the Catfish Parlour. It's "Reel Tasty"!
Secret: Their fried shrimp are even better than their fried catfish. ;)

Their hush puppies are HEAVENLY.
Little know Wump factoid: I was a busboy for the Catfish Parlor way back in high school. Had to wear Overalls and a straw hat. one of my duties was to come in early and roll out the hush puppies. And sometimes the cook would throw us some fresh fried up catfish. ;D

Looks like Burger King has placed Wumpy on their advisory board.

I absolutely agree with Jeff. That looks like Easter Bunny shit. I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole, but I know you had some the other day. Don't play with us.

Do you know who Anthony Bourdain is? He was nursing a hangover and filming part of his Travel Channel show, The Layover, show 4 blocks from my apartment at a Vietnamese soup place (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pho-75-restaurant-philadelphia) :) And he had dinner at a restaurant (http://amisphilly.com/) I went to last year, and filmed at my favorite cheese shop (http://www.dibruno.com/), and at my favorite sandwich place (http://www.paesanosphillystyle.com/). Oh, and he also went to the Chinese place I regularly rave about (http://handynasty.net/) as not being "just any Chinese"... I got it goin' on!

That's just sad. I suspect he ate that way every single meal amirite?
Also, what kind of restaurant has both Cheese Whiz Faux Nachos and California Rolls on the menu?
-
Oh, that was his pre-appetizer at the hotel before dinner. Who knows what he had at dinner? We split up for dinner last night - some (me) went for Asian. Others (Will) went for Italian. If he had more cheese there, at least I hope it was real cheese. ;)

In the interest of full disclosure, here are the results of my lipid tests which I received from my doctor this morning. Total cholesterol is 154, HDL is 57, triglycerides are 57, and LDL is 86. The hand-written numbers are from 6 months ago.
Also in the interest of full disclosure, this is before Jeff, Wumpy and I had our seafood blowout on Sunday afternoon in DC. :-X
Wump, we're still waiting for your test results! :)

that was so damn good. Steamed Skrimps, Mussels, oysters, clams, Calamari, Sausage and potatoes, and the best damn Bloody Marys I have ever had (heavy on horseradish). Oh did I mention we order 2 Entrees each ...the Steamed Seafood Pot and the Fried Shrimp...Lipids be damned!
We got seriously wrecked with seafood. And to top it all off I was in the company of two GORGEOUS menz's ;)

I ate reasonably yet I gained weight while there. Life is so unfair. I'm just fortunate we had kitchenettes in our suites as there wasn't much to eat in DC. Here was my typical dinner. Not sure why I have a pic though?

Although "someone" (who shall remain nameless....) DID eat, not one -- but TWO McDonalds meals while at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The rest of our party had a bit more healthy Boston Market Carver sandwiches -- fresh chicken breast. Granted, there were many options and he DID give away one of his Diet Cokes.

I only had one true meal the entire time there. Thanks to Henry, I was able to eat a fabulous meal at a Mexican restaurant. We found it be accident as it was next door to the liquor store. Most of the other places we visited as groups didn't have a lot of options and the Asian Waiter scared the hell out of me and I only ordered veggies with bean curd sauce.
I'm sure there was probably something to eat Saturday evening, but I've offically blocked it out. :o

Yes, he was rather scary... he scared me into a full Orange Beef entree with hot and sour soup.

You people need to realize that this AMAZING frame I sport requires lots of energy to keep it looking so good. Not only that, but I think I walked like 22 miles that day and prob burned off those 2 meal deals within 30 minutes.

oh yes, I develop a blister on my little toe. Hurt like hell. It kept popping, OUCH. Of course the sick kicks I was sporting were not really hiking shoes, so I paid the price.

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?

My dinner plates come from the dollar store and they are big to accommodate all the slop I eat , they are so big my cabinet door wont close all the way . Hows that for fancy .

I have vintage Correlle.

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.

ANY self-respecting Queen knows that the ONLY vintage China to have is the Royal Crown Derby in the Old Imari pattern.
I long for a set of this.. oh but dont break it, a teacup alone will cost you about $255. An entire dinner set will run you about $8,000...

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.

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.

I'm sure Wumpy knows who Red Steagall is. If not, he loses his Texas cred.
-
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.
-
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.

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.

I was jsut looking at Defontes of Brooklynn yesterday http://www.simplemenu.com/menus/defontesofbrooklyn and thinking about a good sandwich. Where is that one from???
Oh btw, I went to my favorite AUTHENTIC Tex-Mex place run by the Egyptian Today! I am fat and happy right now ;)

This hoagie is in the top 3 I've had in the city over the past 7 years. I can't believe that I'd not gone there until today, even though I've been reading about it for ages. And the topping on the cake is that it's 2 blocks from my pharmacy so I will be going here a lot more often now.
-
That hoagie looks to die for - definitely have to check that place out when I get up to Philly....what is the name of the place?
I went with 24-hour marinated T-bone steak, with olive oil, garlic, parmesan roasted potatoes, and a Japanese vegetable blend....

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.
http://www.kvue.com/news/consumer/167986296.html
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.
-
Well, if there's anything around that could possibly be fried, I'm sure Texas will think of it first.

It's the most versatile mix -- use it on any sauteed vegetable. Also good on grilled chicken or fish, then squirt with fresh lemon.

By "fried squash," you mean fried zucchini, correct? I've not heard of any other kind.
-
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.

Oh yes , you yanks will pay for our fried food sins just like we pay for your cum soaked legs in the air butt flu problem ;) . Its politically incorrect to ask us southerners to give up our fried food because its part of our rich and diverse culture ... and it taste so good it will make you want to slap your mother in law .
-
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.
-

I was still thinking of the "cum soaked legs" you referred to but meant to write "chicken". OBVIOUSLY.
-
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 .
-
No, my mother still makes them too. They never fried vegetables. Maybe the moisture was just from the vegetables.
ps: you lipid panel would be better if you sauteed in olive oil LIKE MISS P DOES
-

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 .

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.
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.
-
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.

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)

I don't eat out that much IMO -- maybe once a week. There are many inexpensive Mexican or Asian places near me.

That's from Taco Bell? How did I miss this rollout? It looks tasty, how was it? Do they have beef?
-W
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.

...and, a couple of weeks ago we ALL knew that miss P. had her issues with #2. ;D

Tacohell twice in one week? Girl, you live in NYC... there's no excuse for this.
ps: I've only been to Tacohell once in my entire fucking life
pps: my double-fried chicken & donuts place just made a spread in Bon Appetit (http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/badaily/2012/10/modern-dining-in-philadelphia.html) saluting the food scene of Killadelphia.

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.

maple nuts.
If these are nuts drenched in Maple then I must have them! Where do you get them?

Btw, since you people say I can't eat at Chic-Fil-A I was forced to go to McDonalds for my Chicken Sandwhich. They have a new Chicken sandwich called Chicken CBO, It is chicken, cheddar, bacon and carmelized onions....and it is DELIGHTFUL!

I'm lucky that my aunt carries them at her diner/bakery in our small town. You can order them online but I'll warn you, they're more addictive than anything other substance I've ever consumed. I had to go an entire day to compensate for the entire pound I ate. I can't imagine the calories I ingested.
Here is a good link to order them.

Maybe not the best snack to eat by the pound:
Ingredients
Sugar, Peanuts, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Maple Syrup, Gelatin, Salt, Sodium Bicarbonate, Artificial Flavor, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (Palm Kernel, Soybean and/or Cottonseed), Soy Lecithin, Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6 , Red 40, Blue 1),

Well if you mom sees that you need some meat on your bones, don't skimp on the calories and don't fast a day after eating a lot of junk like this. Junk is great of course. But eat some rich healthy foods too. (He says, eating pasta in plain old tomato soup with cream and lots of pepper.)

A Zaxby's Chicken opened in Greensboro and a friend invited me to try it out. The first few bites were good but between the fried chicken, french fries and Texas toast I was quickly greased out. About two third through the meal I gave up, threw the rest away and seriously considered a purge.

The grilled chicken sandwich is pretty tasty , but for some reason when I eat there my blood sugar spikes really high even when I eat items that don't useally do that to me , so I pretty much avoid the place .

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

And on that note, can you believe that my parents haven't come to visit me since 2003? 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 said "fresh" darling. It's Buitoni -- I think they advertise on Top Chef. Don't you have that where you live? Their spicy beef and pork is delish too, but I don't buy their sauces I just use olive oil.
There's a newish pizza place around here I need to go try -- specifically it's Mexican pizza so I've been iffy. Anyway, the only place that makes good pizza are places in Brooklyn.

Then I will have a slice of Bitch Cake for dessert. ::)
WIN.

After a very long day at work, I am fixing a chop coated with mayo, mustard, which I made, roasted potatoes and squash, hubbard, the blue type. Much better than a tub of fake "fresh" Buitoni that "just need a toss of Olive Oil." Crap.
I guess I am just being bitchy! Off to watch the latest episode of Revenge in preparation of the possibility you all chose to come West for the Gathering.

btw, I had not ever tasted a Cannoli until this last visit to Virginia. It was one of those frozen ones, but nevertheless it was delish. I would love to try a real homemade one like the one above.

You really need to step out of your comfort zone, sweetie. I had some delish blintzes (http://www.curdnerds.com/files/blintz.jpg) for lunch today: I had one of each: filled with pork, cream cheese, and cherry to offset my awesome veggie rolls since I figured I needed to give those Cantina Bowls a rest.

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.

I was going for Mecca Lecca High Mecca Hiney Ho!’ from Pee wee's playhouse , I was going to take it down but I had been quoted by then .

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 .
Edited to add I like pie .

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 .
Maybe she is fibbing to get even and I'm bout dead .

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.
Said the lady who lives on some God-foresaken cold rock in the middle of the North Atlantic where they probably dont even have Fries ::)
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
So there. :P
-

You're seriously asking this? Your accent is at least 85% altered from anything resembling someone from the Midwest. It's now like a working class version of the UK-Madonna modification manifestation -- the Reinvention Tour! It must be osmosis or something.
-
Isn't it about time for us ALL to post our lipid results? I'll never win the CD4 battle, but I'll kick ass in the wee amount of fat pulsing through my veins.

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.
PLEASE NOTE: you can also see my negative results for both chlamydia and gonorrhea -- I AM A CLEAN TEEN.

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!"

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).

your walltet that everything you left home with? Hope you had a great time.
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.

Bitches I'm back...and as such I give you this from the Bacchanal at Ceasars Palace,
Tiramisu, vanilla bean creme brulee, and I dont even know what the raspberry thingy was...this after gorging on prime rib, crab legs lobster shrimp and duck. amazing. and surprisingly with all the food I ate over 5 days I lost 3 pounds, I think due to all the walking (and good genes)

I mean really, how often do you find amaranth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_grain) as an ingredient in something?
In the 80's it seemed to be in everything at the Park Slope Food Coop. 8)

Has anyone been on Ritalin or similar molecules and noticed keener taste perception?
There is a appetite suppressant effect. But even taking that into account, I seem to reject more things I put in my mouth :o for these defects: "stale" "old" "industrial" "bland" "too salty for no reason" "rubbery" "rancid"

Welcome back. We're still awaiting tales of the city about what happened when you weren't stuffing your face.

I will eat most of the unusual dishes if someone lays out the dough for good wine to either make it delicious or wash it down.
I guess if I had tartare and oysters on a plate, I'd want an oldish chenin blanc?
There are some quiet cafes in small towns around my neck of the woods that will make steak tartare with Herens beef

I'd need a few ounces Of JAck Daniels to get that down.
So what does tartar taste like? HAs anyone had it like it's shown above? Is it the seasoning that gives it the taste?
PS- I jsut demolised 8 of the 12 blueberry muffins I just baked (do not try this at home). I feel like a fat whale :( And I was doing so good since Vegas.
But they sure were good.

I can't believe that you're in your mid-40's and never had steak tartare. Are you afraid of beef carpaccio too?
And yes, the capers in tartare are key to the taste, but so is the high quality of the beef used.

Now that we got the elitist comments from the uppity yank out of the way, anyone else want to comment on their Tartare experience?

I've never eaten it -- nor do I have any strong desire to do so. I suppose if I was with someone who was having it, I might try a taste -- morbid curiousity and all..... I have never had a desire for raw meat (ok, ok, I suppose SOMEONE is going to run with that one, but you know what I mean). Although I have had a little sushi -- but I don't know what all the fuss is about it.

I guess it's no shock that I've never tried that nor will I ever. Hell, I'm in deer country and never eaten venison.

Venison. It's what's for dinner. ;) I'll never understand why people get so freaked out about eating deer. It's isn't so different from eating beef. And I know where my dinner came from -- from field to table. Now *that's* what I call being a locavore. I must take some out of the freezer this weekend.

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....

No, but I will admit that I once ate at the TGI Fridays in Times Square before I saw RENT on Broadway. I spent $75 on 2 burgers and fries with Tea!! Ridiculous! The prices are double just because it's in Times Square. ::)

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!

guests? You have dinner parties, La Meechela? Certainly I would like to be a fly on the wall. Maybe I can sashay over during my week in Lyon next Spring.

I like eating off the simple standard white paper plates - they're good-looking, and time saving as I don't have a dishwasher....
-
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. I'm not sure what happened to them when I moved. They're either still back in my old Brooklyn apartment or I gave them away.

Not sure what I'd collect if I lived in the USA now.
80's Mikasa? :o I'm sure nobody wants it....
(http://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/6555760/il_570xN.336412988.jpg)
That might make me sad to eat off everyday but it would be fun at a drag dinner.
Westmoreland beaded-edge white dinner plates would be cheerful and homey. Didn't Martha Stewart ever make a simple milk glass dinner set. (The NYT said she is now trending again for NYC hipsters?!)
-
I applaud the purist behavior. But an egg sandwich on a simple white paper plate is pretty appetizing.
-
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.
-
Remember in the 80's and early 90's when lots of chinese restaurants in NY had that pink or lilac and black color scheme like 80's Mikasa? And Nagel prints.
I kind of like Nagel

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.

Is that store-brand ketchup on your eggs?
ps: my roasted potatoes are better, as they have garlic and sea salt with ample olive oil all over them while roasting, as well as rosemary.
pps: I'm about to have some lovely left-over gruyere mac & cheese, a grilled pork loin and sautéed bok choy.

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.

You can find that frozen passionfruit pulp at the supermarket (Goya, natch) and I've read it works well as a substitute.

Macarons have been trendy over 5 years here. Might even be fading.
Unfortunately for me, the luxury ones are the only guaranteed fresh and good ones in Switzerland. Local bakeries routinely rip one off.

Here ya go, Wumpmeister. On Anthony Bourdain's The Layover last night the episode was Philadelphia, and in this short clip he can be seen chowing down Phở a mere five blocks from my penthouse:
http://www.travelchannel.com/video/phillys-hangover-cure
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.
(you should also click on the "Tony Sees the 40-pound Colon" clip below that one to get a glimpse of your future)

Every other epy Bourdain is in Philly, that show is slanted.
Since Christmas is right around the corner I have been sampling tamales to decide which brand to order for Christmas Eve Dinner (It's a Texas thang)
Thus far I have tried Tellez, Teka Molino and Delicious (http://delicioustamales.com/) . Normally I go with Delicious but last year they were a bit dry. Rubens (http://www.kens5.com/news/A-holiday-tradition-picking-up-steam-at-Rubens-Tamales-135964783.html) is one of the best, but I havent had their Tamales in years so I need to go get a dozen tomorrow and check them out :P
-

Hey, guess what moron -- this was the very first time ever that Bourdain has done a show in Philly. You're obviously confusing it with some other food show that incessantly shows us only eating cheesesteaks. Bourdain refused to 1) feature a single cheesesteak or 2) utter the word "Rocky"
Please buy a clue before you answer in such an embarrassing way to another of my posts thankuverymuch

Good for you. Something somewhat decent and authentic (at least not from the frozen food section or some taco joint owned and operated by a guy from Morocco). Be careful, girl. Being too adventurous might be hazardous to your taste.
-
Oh, and speaking of Bourdain, you should try his favorite delicacy: Icelandic Hákarl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hákarl). I wouldn't be surprised if Philicia had some during one of her European escapades.

Actually yes, indeed I sampled that delicacy when I was in Iceland and it was absolutely vile. Like eating something soaked in turpentine. Hilarious to see that Bourdain agreed.

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 still havent made it to Rubens, but I I picked up a dozen from El Maracumbe (MissP's fave place, you know the one with the Egyptian owner). I've had Tamales for 3 days in a row now 8)
PS- i also had a fish bowl margarita while I was there. oh yeah baby!
-
yelp reviews of El Maracumbe:
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.

You should probably just stick to some dark corner of a sex club and masturbate into a wet towel. At least you won't have to bother with an enema because goodness knows with what you eat you'd need to douche for several days.

LOL... Seems likely. Maybe I'll send a copy to Philicia as a "White Elephant" Xmas gift.

Anyway, I only use butter on a few items. For cooking I only use olive oil.

I keep a little butter on hand, and usually only use it in my fresh mashed potatoes. Or if I get really wild and crazy i might use it on a Sunday morning on some Biscuits.

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 only use wet-rendered pork fatback for my cookies.

Try Organic Pasture butter! Real butter without the negatives.
Its made from grass fed cows and is full of omega 3's and good fats, its a good thing.

I told her she needed to find a new place to eat as opposed to going to the same dump all of the time, and suggested looking for somewhere serving carbonara or cacio e pepe, to which she replied "I DON'T LIKE ITALIAN FOOD." I questioned this, and she elaborated that it's because "THEY DON'T SERVE MARGARITAS." What a plebeian beverage selection.
I bet she's two-stepping at the Silver Dollar Saloon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CnBTgGxhZM) by this hour. (note: you can actually see Wumpella at the 0.15 mark!)

I had pinto and northern bean soup with cornbread for dinner , it was delish .
I did buy a 5 lb prime rib to make for New Years day , it was from Kansas City Steak company and it better be good for what I paid for it . It was an impulse buy and I am most remorseful at the moment .

Nancy please, I am an accomplished 2 Stepper, evidenced by the worn out soles on my Justin Ropers. There is a new gay country bar here in SA, the name escapes me, but I have been meaning to break out my old ropers and do some doe-si-doeing :P
-
That doesn't look like chicken fried steak, it looks like a beef version of chicken parmigiana, served with fake Mexican side dishes that look like AIDS-induced diarrhea. Then again, what does one expect from an Egyptian in Texas?
And as far as gay two-stepping goes -- just don't. I seriously can't imagine something more petrifying than having to go to such a place. Gives me shivers.
-
Disappointed.
That looks totally VOMITITIOUS. Why won't you try a real Mexican place instead of this third rate Egyptian stuff from a can? There are plenty of them in your "city". I hear Cascabel Mexican Patio is a decent joint.

Me too.
The food chemistry professor in college spent an entire lecture on the horrors of fake butter. She felt ALL the magarines were as criminal as cigarettes, and comparable for the false advertising. I think margarines still get away with advertising as healthy. What a crock.
-
My doctor says butter will kill you.
Agree with Miss P.
Change your doctor darling. Your fake butter is poison.
Also, don't eat fried or scrambled eggs. Boiled eggs are healthy.
-
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.
-
What nutritional difference does it make if an egg is boiled or scrambled?

Easter egg hunts slow down considerably when children try to collect scrambled eggs thus rendering the exercise value null.

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?

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?

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!

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.

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.

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

I don't think I've actually ever had one. And I've only been to Outback once in my life about a decade ago. 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.

What kind of person lives in fucking Florida and doesn't eat seafood? Seriously, move to to North Dakota next time. I'd love some Florida grouper right now. Good eats that is.

Logans steak house meat loaf is nutritious and delicious . Ive had the aids for 30 years and I'm not going to spend the rest of my days counting calories or denying my self simple pleasures that can be found even in the humblest of chain restaurants .

Scary. Will you be going out for an onion blossom at Outback later?
Now, now... not all onion blossom's are created equally....we have an Argentinian restaurant nearby that serves an ash-roasted sweet onion (essentially a blossom, but only quartered) with buttered beets, Fourme d’Ambert blue cheese and toasted walnuts.
I haven't noticed any effect on flatulence production...

I think I may go check this place out later today:
http://flipburgerbar.com/
It is just down the road from me and from what I hear and read (reviews), they have great burgers and their mac and cheese is out of this world....

No side dishes are necessary. Do make sure that it is marinated in Egyptian spices and drenched in bucketloads of delicious "Queso" [sic]. Wash it down with a sissy Margarita.

Is that like one of those turduckan things you Yanks eat these days for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinner?
I can imagine what sort of stuffing would go with a bologump roast. Bet it would be rich in protein.

I have you people know I do not patronize the Egyptians after the latest Gnat situation. To quote Honey BooBoos mom.."COME ON NOW WITH THESE DAMN GNATS!"
My new place is Teka Molino where I can get a $14.99 Don Julio Reposado freshly squeezed lime juice and agave nectar Margarita...*cough* far from Sissy.

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 :()
Wumps,
Are you still eating your oatmeal for breakfast???

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'm actually surprised that you don't feature more barbecue in your diet. I would if I lived down there. Don't you ever spend a day in the Hill Country going to 4-5 different places? I'd be so into doing that.
Of course, that crap you just put up is faux barbecue. We'd expect nothing less from La Wumpella.

Wumpy -- which BBQ place in Lockhart Texas is your favorite? And if you haven't been to Lockhart in the past year, or don't have an opinion, then.... fail!
Personally I think Kreuz's in tops in Lockhart: http://kreuzmarket.com/ (http://kreuzmarket.com/)
Also, puh-leeze don't tell me you like Bill Miller's BBQ.

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)

The wine in the picture is a lovely moscato.
Enjoy :-*

It all looks divine, especially the dulce de leche cannolis...too DIE for.

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.

ps: there's also a place five blocks away that serves Tacos De Cabeza De Res -- I'll let Rev. Moon translate that for the spineless wonders of this fair forum :)
Oh, I think I have an ice cream maker hidden away in a cabinet. I may dig it out and attempt some passion fruit ice cream or sorbet!
pps: having blood orange sorbet for a bedtime snack right now

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.

Oh. If you make that passion fruit sorbet be sure to take pictars. It shall be divine.

I also bought two actual small blood oranges -- tis the season you know! Pricey though at 99 cents each and so tiny. Best used for a salad garnish IMO. I think I'll eat the second one right now though I should really be in bed. :(

Early breakfast... LOVE ANYTHING WITH PASSION FRUIT! OBSESSED! Siggi's acai & mixed berry yogurt, ruby red grapefruit, pain au levain with passion fruit champagne preserves (THEME ftw++) Rev. you must locate these preserves -- they're made by Jews on Israeli kibitzes (http://www.tishbi.com/site/oshra.php?action=cat&cat=3). (Kidding, but they are from Israel)

Kinda looks like my anal opening lately. How much of that did you actually eat and how much did you ahve to trash?
-
Currently just finishing some hot and spicy pork skins. I'm guessing that's gonna place me squarely on Team Wilhelmina.

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've been at a loss lately over making something different - and my brain totally forgot about lentils. Thanks for the inspiration, Miss PeePee. I've got some puy lentils in the cupboard just crying out to be eaten.

My next thing is to get into making farro and barley. I've not even ever had them I don't think. Do you make quinoa?
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 haven't made quinoa in years - another bright idea.
-
I only have tried quinoa in the last few months and I like it . I used a little chicken stock to flavor it with . My friends didn't seem as happy as I was about it though LOL .
I bought a brand that's was prewashed and followed the directions but everyone thought it had a slight bitter taste . I thought it was excellent .

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.
Maybe there's some hope for me on Team Phillicia yet. Though I doubt I'm high class enough.

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.
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8074/8402946006_4d248f0002.jpg)
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:

One thing I miss about living in the northeast is being able to get good cannoli. Many moons ago, my sisters used to live in Trenton, and we would go to Italian People's Bakery (http://www.italianpeoplesbakery.com/) where they would fill the cannoli fresh when you ordered them. No soggy shells around these cannoli!

Oh yeah, all of the good places fill the shell to order. The hardcore natives line up at 4 AM Christmas Day just for this, either at Termini or Isgro (https://www.bestcannoli.com/) (also within walking distance, Mitchell). I think I've had more cannoli in Philly than I did when I lived in Little Italy in NYC.

Oh, I just saw it at the hipster foodie shop yesterday (http://greenaislegrocery.com/) (note: a five block walk). I don't think I've ever eaten jerky my entire life. Plus I'm afraid it would mess up the effects of how I apply Androgel to my body every 30 minutes.

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!

We have a most splendid place a mere 3 blocks from my house called subway and they have a choice of 7 breads that are baked on site ... all that for 5 bucks .

NOT
THE
SAME
Wow, so I'm looking at their web site and they started franchising, and there's a fucking Primo Hoagies now in Leesburg, VA where my parents live. I'll have to take them. 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
Primo's also ONLLY uses premium Thumann's all natural (http://www.thumanns.com/allnatural.html) deli meat.
edit: evidently the one in Leesburg has their bread shipped fresh daily from the City of Brotherly Homicide, according to yelp.

You are sending mixed signals here my dear lumpy Wumpy -- "I need to eat better and get ready for Speedo season" -- "I need me some fried shrimp"..............
At least I know where all the weight I have lost went.................. :P

The bread can't possibly be Sarcone's.
And they're definitely not $5
Primo's also ONLLY uses premium Thumann's all natural (http://www.thumanns.com/allnatural.html) deli meat.
edit: evidently the one in Leesburg has their bread shipped fresh daily from the City of Brotherly Homicide, according to yelp.
Do you ever just wake up in the morning and think "Hey, Im just going to open a can of Pork and Beans and not go all "fluff" today"

I'm holding my own. But I get weak occasionally, like this afternoon when I stopped for 2 dozen donut holes
Is your husband aware that you are losing all this weight? (not that you needed too) but does he realize you will be attracting all kinds of fellerz now?.

Maybe it's all of those donuts that are giving you that serious anal warts issue. btw, take a mirror, bend over while naked, spread your love tunnel wide, take a photo and make a thread! Surely we can all diagnose you over the internet.

Oh, are you baking one tomorrow? I may actually make some Colombian coconut pie.

No. I think I'm going to see Rust & Bone (http://sonyclassics.com/rustandbone/) (Matthias Schoenaerts *swoon*) and then follow it up with dinner at Han Dynasty (http://handynasty.net/) aka Handy Nasty.
I can make a very fierce blueberry pie though. I routinely made them for our Central Park summer picnics of the House of Juba, of which I was the father.

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.

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.
-
Is that short for "Mexican"?
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.

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.

Dang Mitchy, how far out do you live? We're only 15 minutes from a grocery store.

Oh, and I bet none of you queens have something like this around the corner from you local Target and Home Depot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oeCrwA04OU

Hey, guess what wolfie -- rumor has it that Spike Mendelsohn has secured a place (http://www.philly.com/philly/food/Spike-Mendelsohn-finds-a-spot-in-Philly.html) to open his first restaurant outside of DC. I should have some delicious gourmet burgers coming to me soon. Plus if it's at that location indicated in the link I'm regularly in that area. Menu looks yummy (http://www.goodstuffeatery.com/menu)

I was a bad boy tonight.
I went to Good Time Charlies (Home of the best Chicken Fried Steak in Texas) http://www.gtcsatx.com/ tonight. HAd a "big as yo face" Chicken Fried, with red peel mashed potatos and Green beens.
But I think my "Nice physique" can absorb it.

Hmmm. Just a random Google search pulled up the 20 Best BBQ restaraunts in America...6 are from Texas. (of course)
http://www.businessinsider.com/the-twenty-best-bbq-joints-in-america-2012-8?op=1
Now I will tip my hat to the Carolina Pulled pork Sandwich with vinegar and Coleslaw on it. But other than that most East coast BBQ is merely mediocre. For realz.

LOL... BROOKLYN: Fette Sau

Add "PHILADELPHIA: Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse" from your list and that means where I live has two, and we're just one city not an entire state of 26 million.
Percy Street BBQ (http://www.percystreet.com/) is mere blocks from me (OK, 15 blocks) and is run by the artisinal double-fried chicken and donuts folks so you know it just rocks.

Without mentioning Memphis and BBQ in the same sentence, the article is meaningless. Seattle? Give me a fucking break.

But since you brought it up even Memphis BBQ is subpar to Texas', although it's miles better than the east coast pig-fest

Oh, so you FAILED (both at trolling and geography). Nuff said.
Actually, while I've liked the BBQ in Texas, I prefer everything I've had in Tennessee better. My favorite BBQ was in Missouri.
And Philicia has a point about that place in Brooklyn. It kicks your Texan flat ass on any given day.

I have agree with Dachs on this one , Memphis BBQ rocks . I forget where we went but my dad would detour 400 miles on a road trip to get at some of that BBQ .

I'm sure pretty much every newish place in Brooklyn kicks ass over Texas since it's become ground zero for foodies. Wumpy has probably never set foot there either, nor does she know that it's been over for Manhattan for a decade.

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? :)

*sigh*
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.

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.

I was going to go to Dreamland Barbeque for a Boston Butt cobb salad but Tim wanted 2 for $4 fish sandwiches from Arbys , so as a proper host I naturally relented to his wishes ... and it was delicious and quick because Arbys is mere blocks for here .

Uh No. However since my mouth is now watering for a Beef N Cheddar I am going to patronize my local Arbys (mere 7 blocks from here) tomorrow and get the Large Beef N Cheddar with large potato cakes. Extra Horsey Sauce please!

7 blocks in the suburbs is about 3 miles, amirite?

Steamed egg with Boars Head Piccollo Prosiutto, Asiago cheese, sliced tomato on an english muffin.

But I have to eat my Oatmeal and Banana every morning.
Now for supper tonight (getting ready to start it in a few Minutes MissP) I am doing quick and easy...Buitonni Spicy Beef and Sausage ravioli with Paul Newmans Sockarooni Sauce! A nice salad will accompany.

Buitonni Spicy Beef and Sausage ravioli
I eat those, but I just toss them is some olive oil instead of drowning them in sauce. I thought you hated all Italian food.
ps: it's 4:30 PM down there -- isn't that early for "supper"?

What kind of Olive Oil do you prefer to use?

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.

I actually believe you. But 147, how do you do it? I've seen you put away a Jamies Taco or two. And I once saw you order 2 entrees at a seafood restaraunt in DC. :P
Mmmm! Wouldn't todays 80 degree weather (suck it yanks) have been perfect for Lockhart BBQ!

Honey's Sit 'n' Eat (http://nakedphilly.com/rittenhouse/rejoice-south-street-west-honeys-is-finally-open/)'s new location opened today, so now I can go have locavore chicken fried steak mere blocks away. (OK, this one is a stretch because it's more than mere blocks, but still kind of walkable.

Honey's Sit 'n' Eat (http://nakedphilly.com/rittenhouse/rejoice-south-street-west-honeys-is-finally-open/)'
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.
-w
-
i must admit that i have never eaten a country fried steak. ::)
-
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.

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.
PS- Can I jsut say I am very upset that one of my favorite 90's Singers, Mindy McCready offed herself today :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpzzY3r_0Ec

i don't ever recall seeing a child at Red House.
but i DO recall seeing a cute bartender butt and hunky young gay guys almost EVERY visit.

Was surprised the Wumpster didn't comment on the menu but after his gluttonous donut day (GDD) I think his sugar level has put him in a trance. ;)

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 ;)

Thanks goodness I have good stuff to snack on -- like Nettle Meadows (http://www.nettlemeadow.com/cheeses.html) Three Sisters cheese. It's a delicious semi-soft wonder containing cow, sheep and goat's milk and similar to the famed La Tur in the Italian Piemonte region.
But of course I intend on trying all 3 flavors ;)

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!

Im chowing down on northern and pinto bean soup / with neck bones , served over steamed rice ... with diet coke with a splash of old forester .

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.

Yes, but I only allow myself to go once a month at most. In other news the rumor is that they are going to open up a stand at Citizens Bank Park for the next baseball season. Not that I ever go but... I'm not sure that this will happen. Can a small, artsy operation like this manage to move to the big leagues?

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 .
Nope, the last time I went was around my birthday a month ago. I don't think that I've eaten out or gotten take out for two weeks from a single place. I know you can't say that.

No , its been awhile since I had fish sticks but I did buy them on sale at Wallmart , mere blocks from my house . If I had a saggy labia house boy like you I could probably eat better . I just ate 30 fishsticks , but they were skinny ones .

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.

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.

Going to Bastrop to fish today(something you would know nothing about).
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.

I'm also saving my money for gourmet meals on my vacation this summer .

You just consumed 1440 calories, 104 g of fat and 5680mg of sodium.
btw, that's the sodium equivalent of eating 5.5 Big Macs, and the fat equivalent of eating 3 of them. Do you really think this is what one should eat if they've been bedridden for a week?

I thought I'd whip up a Vienna Sausage Casserole for you guys when you come to Memphis. What you don't finish I'll pack up for you to take home.

Wow ... I should prolly just eat the fish sticks for dinner and not bother with tater tots .
I cant like Vienna sausage anymore Dachs ... I don't think I will be eating this Banquet crap again either . I really did eat the whole box but I hated it .

Yes Mitch, we have full cream, lite and trim milk.
If I remember right, you have full cream and half and half, I'm assuming half and half is the same as our lite milk.

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

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.
pps: I haven't eaten catfish since 1986.

Its not all you can possibly eat , its what you may want to eat . I like a buffet sometime because of the variety ... and I'm not interested in impressing someone .

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

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 .

I also bet that Wumpy has never had steak au poivre.

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.
-
If you're waiting in line with the elderly what time are you eating supper, 4:00 pm? Oh, and as any good southerner would know, supper is dinner down south. Dinner is lunch.

I was at the Golden Corral with my friend Ron awhile back and he made a catastrophic error in buffet judgemet and allowed a 350 lb woman enough room to stick her arm in between him and his dining partner , she was able to nab the last piece of catfish he was going for .

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 had to act like I left something in the restaurant and run back and slip that girl extra money.

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.

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 .

-
Tim wants to know what kind of horseradish do you buy , is it a brand ? and do you just add mayo .
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 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 have to go easy on all bread because of the diabetes , that's why I like the whole grains and thin slices .

Does it rotate? on a pedestal? This is specifically to make icing the cake easier. It's not for storage or show.

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!
Have you ever made/rolled fondant? I have
-
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.
-

That's a good question . It took me almost two years on insulin to help get my lipids down , so it may take awhile for all I know . I did read today that changing from Atripla to Intelence can reduce TC and TG <30% . I'm hopeful .

I once had an authentic Mexican lunch in Palm Springs a few years ago.
There was about 7 pounds of food on the plate.
It tasted awful.
I do usually like Mexican food, but it has all most likely been "fake".
I make my tacos with ground turkey too. :)

Yeah but my army man parachute never worked. I use to throw him off the roof and inevitably he would plunge to a horrific army man death.
I dont think kids get toys anymore they get little toothpastes and toothbrushes which sucks.

Of course you do. East Haddam is 97.26% white, 0.98% Latino so obviously you have no proper tacos.

btw, I can actually obtain Chemex brewed coffee a mere five blocks away (http://ultimocoffee.wordpress.com/) but that's too far to walk in the morning. I did, however, go a few days ago to purchase two bags of beans.
note: I linked to a coffee demo youtube clip from San Antonio's own Brown Coffee Company (http://browncoffeeco.com/), a place Guilhermina has certainly never been to. I now expect him to drive over there today and taste "real" coffee and report back to us, preferably with photo documentation.

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).
I use a Keurig coffee maker as it is easy, quick, and there is no wasted coffee.
The coffee I drink is Green Mountain Breakfast Blend Decaf.
-
First of all, it is not morning now.
It is if you had insomnia and aren't a sleeping pill junkie.
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/).
Now seriously, Miss P makes the best pot of coffee in the world.

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.

-
Caffeine and insomnia don't seem to go well together.
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 .
I never use gravy on fried food except for chicken fried steak , you have to gravy on that .
-
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. :-\
Ps- that Vietnamese dish looks divine! makes my mouth water.

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.

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.

Ooooooooooooooooh. Lobster roll. Yes, please. Right away, please. Haven't had a good one since Ruby Foo's shut down in Jurassic times. Ex-wife made them great too. But oh, the price was high.

Looks like some tasty baked goods there. All I had this morning was a cup of yogurt and a banana, as I got up at 5:30 AM to go to the gym, and then arrived at work at 7:00 AM for endless meetings until 11:30 AM (trying to name a new product is apparently very difficult for the marketing folks). Barely had time to make a cup of tea at work to go with my yogurt / banana. That's life in the working world.

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 toasted bagel = 400 calories

I'm hoping that he means poached, which of course is above your skill level.
I dont no nothin' bout no egg poachin' I just throw my egg in some bacon grease and fry 'er up.

Too many carbs , I'm a diabetic .
Willy , poached eggs means they are steamed , not stolen from your neighbors hen house .
-
Whats a steamed egg?
sorry, hubby just got home.
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.

I'm quite fond of soft-boiled eggs.

yankee trader seafood.

I would buy them again and yes they were frozen. (Miss P. shudders) :)

My fave store has excellent frozen crab cakes and I buy them now and then . They run my blood sugar up something fierce though .

I've bought Seapak frozen crab cakes. But since I can find non-fronzen ones easily (they also always have them at the gourmet place I go to downtown) I try not to be lazy. Actually I mostly buy them at the gourmet place because it's all about their accompanying dipping sauce.

Crab cakes how fancy!

miss p.,
did you ever check out the daily specials available from Pasta Vita?
(link provided yesterday)
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.
the selection is quite expansive but their prices are very reasonable.
most entrees range from $9-$16 and they are easily big enough for two!
they also specialize in making all of their homemade pastas.
-
It looks good. The gourmet shop I go to and buy cheese has a large prepared food section and I always pick up a thing or two (like their crab cakes!). Do they sell lobster ravioli at that place?
I just got back from Reading Terminal Market where I picked up various goodies like locally raised eggs and Canadian bacon from pastured chemical-free grass eating pigs. Oh, and some fresh cannoli.

um, I really don't know how to respond.
most eggs in CT supermarkets are locally raised.
and "pastured chemical-free grass eating pigs"???
LOL! ::)
I am fully expecting now that I will die 3 days prematurely due to my decision in pork buying. :P
Oh....
You might find this hard to believe but I really have never seen the appeal of cannoli's.
Cannoli= sugar/fat= deduct those extra 3 days of staying alive (and more) from eating pastured chemical-free grass eating pigs. :)
(it's really the filling that is too much for me)
PS- just got a new dishwasher installed today! Yippie! :)

um, I really don't know how to respond.
most eggs in CT supermarkets are locally raised.
Specifically they are from cage-free hens, not industrial produced/factory farm supermarket eggs. No chemicals touch what they eat, etc.

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.
-
I read online that baking powder is still good a year after the printed expiration date. Every other year I throw out old baking powder. The baking soda I use to deodorize the ferret's litter boxes :)
-
omg... I just remembered I have baking soda in my fridge for that purpose. Now I simply lack motivation.
-

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.
Now worship my cupboard!

Her fall was rather a sad one as she scrambled for a paltry bag of shriveled red potatoes in an attempt to deny any responsibility for the instant spuds . The cover up is always the real crime , the fall from grace ... March 28th 2013 , Tater Gate .

Who knows what else Miss P is covering up at the back of that cupboard?
Canned green beans ?

Folgers Crystals ?
Oh, the humanity...
-
The only canned item in there are some chickpeas. I actually don't mind boxed rice mixes but limit that to Goya.
-
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.

It's very sweet. She probably thought the Risotto alla Milanese was very exotic.
-
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.

I'll start...
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 only feel good when the house is clean and well stocked with food and drink . When I went out of town for New Years I noticed a dust bunny on the floor in the hall on my way out and thought about it the whole time I was away ... the first thing I did when I got home was dust mop even before I unpacked .
-
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.
I jsut made myself hungry so I am eating a Garlic Dill.

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?

Why is that potato salad the color of egg salad? Was there egg in it?
The swiss do something I can't stand. They put pineapple in chicken salad....

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

Gravy Master™ I like the sound of that.
I know how roast my bones. 8)

That sounds amazeballs ! I've never heard of such time and effort going into gravy, I'm sure it is good.

Speaking of gravy, did you guys witness that canned gravy at Shoney's?

Heh. Funny you should say that - you said pretty much the same thing to her in my dream.
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.
I did say it was a vivid dream!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were there (in the dream) because you were from the South.
You were there for one simple reason - you're the Fallen King Queen of Nutrition.
You were telling my friend that you could get primo bones mere blocks from your penthouse apartment in historic Old Philly.
Of course you were there!

Worry not dearest Ann,
We all know Miss P picks and chooses when to pull out her southern roots, so as to best support her position. We all know she hails mere miles from the Capital of the Confederacy. Not too mention spent her formative college years in said Capital and is known to trek back for some southern BBQ.

I had stale cornbread and biscuits , I had chicken and broth and some celery and onions that were going to go bad and some eggs 3 days from expiring ... and its all come together as a huge pan of chicken and cornbread dressing . I can freeze the leftovers . It was the perfect storm of ingredients on hand and a craving for something I love .
-
never heard of eggs in dressing.
is that a southern thang?

I usually only make dressing for thanksgiving even tho it's my favorite part of the meal.
guess the eggs would be used for a binder.
maybe I will try it... soon. :)
my fridge is almost empty tonight.
if the hubster doesn't bring dinner home we will end up having spaghetti and turkey meatballs that I made and are in the freezer.
yum. :-\

I haven't had spaghetti in awhile ... will take care of that this weekend .

YES
That is so wrong. My Mom adds raw egg to her salad dressing, and honestly I find it scary. I add cooked egg to my dressing. I'm originally from the Northeast and my Mom was born in SF, raised in NYC and her parents from Germany. So no, it is not a Southern thang.
-
The egg cooks in the corn meal so I guess its safe .
-
I just had a can of Campbells Chunky chicken Noodle Soup for a late late supper.
It waz goooood.
No crackers though, gotta be sure I can fit in my summer wife beaters ya know. :P
-
Are we talking salad dressing or stuffing for poultry? I'm confused. Real caesar dressing has raw egg.
-
Cornbread sage stuffing like you have at thanksgiving . Some people call it chicken and dressing when you put chicken in it like I did today .
-
Carbonara has raw egg.

Ugh, I'm back to my Margarita and Donut thing, I just cant kick it. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just one or 2 donuts but its normally 8-12, in one sitting. So weird because normally I don't crave the donuts like I do after Ive had a good margarita.
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. But this morning as I got out of the shower and looked in my home mirror I thought to myself who is this fat fuck in my bathroom. :-\

Did you buy your home mirror in a fun house or could it possibly be the effects of margaritas and 8-27 donuts?
Just a thought. ;D

I use a handful of meal in the flour for fish and even porkchops but its just not good on fried chicken .... especially buttermilk chicken that's not supposed to be real crunchy , its a moist crust or don't waste time doing the buttermilk bit .
Miss P ... if you are worried about transfats , don't eat fried food .

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. ;)

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.

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.

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.

Can I have a witness? The massive Tijuana cheeseburger from Rosario's Mexican Pizzeria (one block away!). You can even place your delivery order through facebook! Delish, with a lot of grilled onions and guacamole. AND BACON!

Kaiser rolls for hamburgers are very Philly. They don't use them in DC or NYC, so I don't know why they do here. And they also like to do some light coating on fries, which again they don't do in either DC or NYC.

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.

Oh psych -- another (though non-hipster) Korean double-fried chicken place just opened downtown. And it's on 11th St so right where I often find myself!

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.

That's only because we had just walked the entire National Mall and were only half-way through the Museum of Natural history. I had to refuel this magnificent machine of a body, and it was either that or dried out Boston Market chicken.

So I have a dinner date tonight with an old friend from Austin , and I cant decide between The Lion and Rose Pub (http://www.thelionandrose.com/) or the famous La Fonda On Main (http://www.lafondaonmain.com/) as ourt dinner destination.
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.
hmmm, I hate these decisions.
-
Girl please. Ain't no child gonna put out for your donut-filled colon because you shell out for some second-tier platter of flautas and a bad margarita. The only thing you'll be doing after dinner is yanking out that hidden baggie of coke in your top dresser drawer.

Do you have your ramp season party hat on yet Miss P . please ::)

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.

This isn't that wretched old skool type of inedible vegetarian place, full of dirty, filthy hippies. How dare you. This is about the modern artisanal produce revolution (http://www.philly.com/philly/food/20120226_Vegan_to_please_the_omnivorous.html) popularized by locavore hipsters.
-
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.
An ancient, practically senior citizen now, who enjoyed all 3 as a very YOUNG man, and even worked at one, not to mention that prickly Park Slope Food Coop. WAY before it became insufferable in the new millennium... But yeah, even tastier....

True, and Alice Waters has always been way ahead.
-
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.

I grovelled, in vain, at Jeremiah Tower's feet for a sous-chef post at Stars....
Worked at some restaurants and nightclubs in the Mission, and fed up with SF complications. so fucking complicated......, threw in the towel, went back to NYC and got a job at Credit Suisse / First Boston within mere weeks.
I dunno how it is now, but my experience of SF is that it was a very hard nut to crack. Easy to be marginal and fabulously eccentric, but much harder than NY to be gainfully employed...

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 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.

I buy one thats only 88 cents , its just enough calories for me to take my Intelence with in the morning ... it so revolting you would imagine the packaging machine squats to fill the plate up . Ive grown to like it though .

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...

Is there a problem with oatmeal in the morning?

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.

Also, massive cocks (http://www.citypaper.net/food/In_Season_2013_04_25.html)

I like epoisses and it would have been great with my wine... Thats a fragrant, creamy, olympian's sock, compared to this rank cheese I had. Maybe you would have like it!
-
Coincidentally I was eating it while watching the beginning of Vincent Cassel in La Haine (1995).
You could imagine the Adidas sweats of a racaille from a Paris ghetto might stink somewhere between epoisses and this one. Like change the location to Mulhouse and sub in a real gangster kid 10 steps down the attractiveness scale from Vincent Cassel.

No silly. You take bisquick, add milk, stir. Then throw a package of thawed frozen spinach in there and stir it all up and bake :P
Actually here's the ingredients
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.

I'm on a quest now to find a ramp. I've never had one and am curious if it really does taste like an onion.

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!

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 .

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.

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 .

That makes sense I misunderstood.
Kashi makes some healthy frozen meals. I've had them and they are okay. They may help.

Is that why you eat those triple Wendy's cheeseburgers twice a week? And isn't there breading on fried chicken and chicken fried steak?
Why can't you buy a dozen skinless chicken breasts and grill them all at once, then put them in the freezer or fridge to munch on?

I have to agree. At least a cilantro leaf, some greasy gravy, or a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce would make it look more appetizing. As it is it just looks like she plated some stir-fried testicles.

It's Puerto Rican, Cuban or Dominicana, preferably with Goya Adobo con Pimiento fake spice mix (not that Guilhermina has ever visited those lovely places. She's only been 10 miles over the border of Coahuila state.

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. :)

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.

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.

My doctors think that the combination of meds pushed me over into diabetes . We all are aware that HIV meds can cause or aggravate metabolic conditions . Having had 30 years poz and tons of HIV meds that caused significant lipid and cholesterol problems for me , my docs and I agree my diabetes is a complication from HIV .

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.

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.

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.) :)

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'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.

You would have like this -- it was more of a preserved fruit. It just imparted a bit of flavor and wasn't overwhelming. Like using lemon zest.

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)

Thats very cool .
-
Deep reflection indeed. The pics from Mali and Chad definitely make me thankful for my life.
-
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.
-
That Is very cool.
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.
-
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.
-
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.)
-
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.
NOTHING BEATS SOUTH JERSEY STRAWBERRIES IN SEASON! Season for that just began and I'm going to our fabulous Headhouse Square Farmer's Market tomorrow to score some. Does YOUR farmer's market look like this? (http://southstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/hdr-society-hill.jpg)

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.
Most people don't know about this place because so few visit Baltimore, but it's awesome and very old: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexington_Market

I am please to announce that Border Springs Farm, purveyors of farm fresh grass-fed lamb, and featured on Top Chef (they're actually located in southwestern Virginia) is about to open a stall at Reading Terminal Market. I can't wait to buy some over-priced lamb chops!
-
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.
-
Good point. Some farmer's markets in USA are really strict about who can sell what. I remember Union Square being strict - only farmer's selling their own stuff.

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.

That's because there are 96 other food places closer to you,.. and then there is the cheese.
I will stop on the way to my doc appointment at 5 Guys. (It's about 20 minutes drive but on my route)
They haven't been here long but it was love at first bite. :)

I do like Five Guys and go -- there are two downtown, one of which is a block from my HIV doctor so after a blood draw I sometimes go. I never can eat all of their fries though.
-
I never can eat all of their fries though.
me neither.
when they first opened here (about 2 years ago) they offered 2 sizes of fries.
the "small" was plenty for 2 people.
now they offer 3 sizes and the small is STILL enough for 2. (not so sure that "The Wumps" would agree.) :)

The 5 Guys posts motivated me to check into whether there's one here.
There is!!! It's in a remote part of town I don't go to often (ok, I never go there) but sometime this week I am there!!!!

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..

Yes please! The local gourmet shop with the most awesome cheese counter has just published a book (http://www.philly.com/philly/food/20130516_A_taste_of_Phila__s_cheese_icon.html): Di Bruno Bros.

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 need to figure out a novel way to combine blood oranges and ramps.
ps: Betty! find some blood orange vinegar and it makes a delicious homemade lower fat salad dressing

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.

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.

No, they were 1.99 lb, and I got just under a pound, which was 3 oranges. I think you are seeing the weight

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)
2)The beer is "Palm". One of Kenny's favorites. (me + beer = :P) (taste)
3) Landline?
Yes! I love a landline!
Talking on a cell to me is annoying.
The delay in real time conversation is a quality downgrade. (at least for my fuzzy head)
The smoothest conversations on the telephone are on 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.

well golly!
I always wondered how well it worked.
Still don't quite understand how it works.
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.
Thanks Betty! :)

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 .

As far as steak places go, you do not know true glory until you go to Tad's Steaks (http://midtownlunch.com/2008/08/25/expect-the-worst-from-tads-steaks-and-you-wont-be-disappointed-manhattan-new-york-city-nyc/) in midtown Manhattan.

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 of my childhood friends has been a waitress at Red Lobster for decades. She is a lovely person and spreads joy. I bet her tables get great service.
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 .
-
The last time I ever went to one (as an adult) the steak was like shoe-leather.

There's actually a Ponderosa not to far from where I live. I haven't been there in years, and last time just had the salad bar. I would never get a steak there. I did when I was young, and hadn't yet ventured to finer restaurants.

I've never been to a Ponderosa but have been to a Bonanza.
Yes, they are known for their heavy handed food tenderizer. :P
Is one place any better than the other?

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.
Every time we asked for a vegetarian option at a restaurant, we'd be offered brie on a baguette - after much tut-tutting and grimacing from the wait-staff. The French seem to think vegetarians are aliens from another planet or something.

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.

I had three delicious airplane meals on Lufthansa today -- breakfast, lunch and then kind of a small second pre-landing lunch. Oh, and five glasses of red wine because they don't charge you at all even in economy.

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.
Hope you enjoyed many delicious delicacies and libations.

fresh garlic?

some kind of weird onion....but not Ramps.

Garlic Shoots!
Much like leeks or ropes!
Scapes!
-
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.
-
Ms P also said garlic. It's not difficult to identify based on that last picture. I also use fresh garlic when a recipe includes garlic. Can't beat that taste!

I know betty. Was just wondering if anyone would recognize a garlic "scape".
My guess is that most people have never seen or heard of a garlic scape and with the lackluster number of replies I thought it best to put a quick end to the subject.
(hence the pic of garlic bulbs) :)

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.
I'm rather 'meh' on fiddle but love love love hen of the woods! If you adore mushrooms I can't imagine you not liking them.

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?

I congratulate Willy on making the lowest form of humor du Maurieresque!

it may be healthy and lean. delicious? they have an appetite for tin cans. taste baaaaad.
I lived mere blocks from a Puerto Rican grocery in South Hartford with a fabulous selection of cabrito and other such delicacies.

Not to beat a dead goat or anything BUT I live mere blocks from Uncle Bubba's. I shall be dining there on shrimp and cheese grits later this week.

Too bad Philly doesn't have a Freddys Frozen Custard and Steakburgers (http://www.freddysusa.com/) which I am CERTAIN blows away a Shake Shack. I mean can you really say you are living if you haven't wrapped your gums around a Cracker Jack Concrete from Freddy's? No, you cannot.

we don't have any "chain" restaurants within a 17 minute drive other than a Subway. And Dunkin Doughnuts doesn't count. we eat our burgers at a couple of locally owned joints. much better quality.

I've always wanted to go there. Supposedly the origin of the hamburger. A couple other restaurants have the same claim.
Another well known burger joint is Ted's. Never been there either.

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.
If I ever come up to visit you on the train you're picking me up in New Haven and we're going to that burger place as soon as I arrive. No excuses.

Yalies claim New Haven for the birthplace of the modern hamburger and the modern pizza. Also Frisbee, from pie tins...
Clinton and Bush taught us not to trust Yalies...
But the pizza and the burgers are great in New Haven.

I wonder if Yale is where Clinton developed his..... um...... appetites.

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.
Next time. (or if Miss P. ever comes for a visit)

Yes! Pepe's makes great pizza. People often wait an hour or more outside waiting to get in.
http://www.pepespizzeria.com/
(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.

Spent my summers on the shore and my aunts and uncles would take us out often at glamorously late hours to eat great all the way from Westport to New Haven. By my early teens my groovy uncle took me to progressive rock concerts at New Haven it was wild.

What about Lamb? I swear this just happened to me this morning...
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
anyways Lamb chops sound nice but I like to get mine from the grocery store.

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
-
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.

This reminds me of that scene in Soylent Green where the guy has an extremely rare "real" piece of beef in a society of manufactured foods. Is this on the Horizon for us? Hopefully I'll be 6 feet under before that happens
-
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.
-
If beef becomes unavailable I think I'd opt for this before trying "engineered" fake beef.
These are amazingly good. My mother discovered them a while back.

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. Margarine was a disaster. Maybe "many people" don't think about bizarrely produced "food" but that doesn't make it OK. The trend is increasing consumer knowledge about frankenfoods... You're probably correct, that there will always be a market for this crap but the healthy and eco friendly way forward is to shrink that market, and not end up in the land of Soylent Green and some "World of Tomorrow" instant meal nightmare.

I'm not saying its a good or bad thing , I'm simply saying that we already consume a lot of unappealing crap that we do not think much about from day to day .
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.

But I don't eat any of that junk. A lot of people don't eat that processed food. I never got that crap when I was growing up, either. During the boom in processed food. So its consistent to have a problem with lab grown beef.

Yes but was there ever a "natural" Dorito or Froot Loops? For me the problem is going from a primo, grass fed, breathing, Black Angus cow to Petri Lab dishes under flourescent lights.
-
But I don't eat any of that junk.
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.
Yes but was there ever a "natural" Dorito or Froot Loops? For me the problem is going from a primo, grass fed, breathing, Black Angus cow to Petri Lab dishes under flourescent lights.
Natural fruit loops and Doritos? Do you mean fruit and corn?
So your ok with fluorescent orange food that doesn't exist in nature but you draw the line at meat grown in a lab.

Sorry dear -- that McDonald's burger (or should I say burgers) may have come from a breathing creature, but it was not primo, nor grass fed and CERTAINLY not Black Angus. ;D

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.

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.
-
People with money to spare are all to willing to overspend on alluring "foodstuffs" with dubious claims to health and purity.
They could spin petri beef as the purest and finest.
Think of the hideous consumption of chic "purity" these days.

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?

Yes many people spend too much to eat. Take Gwyneth Paltrow for example. Quite a lot in the hood. And those t shirts cost a pretty penny too.

Oh I love me some Shake N Bake chicken, I like to almost burn it. Never tried the pork.

Just buy some good breadcrumbs , I buy the Italian herbs and parmesan cheese one instead of shakenbake . It taste the same and you get 20 times more for half the price , you can buy plain breadcrumbs and add whatevers .
-
http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/05/how-to-make-your-own-breadcrumbs.html
-
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.

Guess it needs lemon juice. :)
I'm gonna try it and report back.
I don't eat too much honeydew either for the same reason. Maybe dunked in dark chocolate? ;)

yes have had them and make a nice mixed "fruit plate " when you scoop some watermelon, cantelope and pineapple in a bowl

Just two things I have to say on this subject:
1)...I've heard of them but have no idea what they taste like, I suppose it depends on how sweet do you like your melons, personally I have a very sweet tooth...and
2) I can't believe this thread is still going, with 3257 posts that is definitely a record number of posts ever posted in one thread.

I just made fruit salad with peaches, bananas, green grapes, red currents, honeydew, peach and lime juice, brown sugar and Cynar... This is going to be heaven after a day or two in the fridge. Its best a couple of days old actually.
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.

Its a sugar and alcohol fest, that's for sure.
Mostly the reason I prefer my quick light version of making fruit salads with aromatic herby alcohols and sugar, but not too much...
-
I thought fruit salad was mixed fruit? Maybe with some fresh mint and chopped almonds.
That stuff looks great but it's preserved fruit.
I've have been trying to preserve my brain in brandy for years but I think it backfired.
-
I like italian and french bitter/sweet liquors, like Suze, Campari, Cynar, etc. These are made with "herbs" and also quite often vegetable roots of various sorts... Was just saying, I splash alcohol and sugar in my fresh fruit salad and let it marinate a bit.
Yep, Rumtopf is preserved fruit. Fruit, sugar, rum, and it marinates for months, but you keep adding new fruit as they come in season.

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

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.

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....

I had a very tasty pastry this morning from Macri's Italian Bakery.

If I eat one of the pastries every Saturday I'll gain about 50 lbs. BTW, when I had the "wedding" with my ex-wife, we got our wedding cake from them.

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.

Then again, their Soho store just developed a special coffee blend with Leonardo DiCaprio (http://shop.lacolombe.com/products/lyon).
>>> special fun fact: Leonardo once bummed a light off of me in 1998, and then asked for directions to Next modeling agency.

Stumptown Cold Brew (http://buy.stumptowncoffee.com/cold-brew) is also delish, and yes I'm sure you should be able to find it at Whole Foods or any gourmet type place.
OH -- WE HAVE VIDEO! http://vimeo.com/65904436
That Elixr Coffee place you always see me hanging out at on facebook makes their own cold brew coffee and it's even tastier than these others, though all of them are worthy. But how can one honestly resist these hipsters (http://www.elixrcoffee.com/about-us/)?

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.

ps: just got back from my long jaunt on tender hooves to the Headhouse Farmers' Market -- it's quite the Sunday event "thing" for the bourgeoisie here. Definitely no offensive body odor at this shindig, unlike those dreary AIDS-y clinics!

I scored some artisanal guanciale to make carbonara as well as red wine bacon, plums, corn, heirloom tomatoes, sourdough bread, scones, goat cheese, garlic, blackberries -- and some leafy greens I'd not ever heard of and now forget what they are called. I think it's similar to swiss chard. Oh, and two bags of coffee beans -- Bolivian and Ethiopian.
I'm going to make a roast chicken in my cast iron dutch oven with some of those ingredients thrown in, but I swear I'm too tired to cook now.

Nice lookin' market P.
We're off to a boules party this afternoon. We went to one a couple of years ago and the food and wine were outstanding. I think there are at least 4 or 5 of the group who are French chefs including Jacques Pepin.
They make a sit down outdoor dinner for about 40 people. I will try to snap a couple of pics.
Gotta go.

Now you know that's just not possible.
btw, I'm thinking of making a date with a Puerto Rican cocksucker to see Blue Jasmine followed by rabbit dry pot style Sichuan. WHADDAYATHINK? My only worry is that he'll expect me to serve up the Holland Tunnel after dinner, and my sciatica will beg to differ. And I know it's a big uncut one down there because he made a point of telling me not once but twice the first time I met him -- so tacky, but alas the information is helpful.

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.

Is there anything better than breakfast for dinner? I just cooked some of that red wine bacon and it was some of the most delicious cured pork I've ever had. Paired it with farm fresh eggs, scrambled lightly with black truffle butter and grated grana padano cheese and a toasted bagel.

I dont know about all that, but I routinely have fried eggs (over easy) smothered in salsa with crisp bacon for dinner, and if it's an extra special evening I bust out the Boxed hash browns. :-*

Um, no. Unless you think hanging with a bunch of 60, 70, 80 year olds tossing metal balls would do it. :)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. :)
Gloria Pepin was telling us to be careful hiring live in help. LOL! She is sweet but has no idea how us lowly people live. ::)

OK, got the camera dilemma fixed.

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)

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.

September 9 - National Steak au Poivre Day
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?
AND IT'S NOT A LAME CHAIN! (http://garcestradingcompany.com/)

Champagne preserves the brain.
I am all for "better living through chemistry" meaning medicine for disease treatment and prevention, and psychotropic medicine for ups and downs of dealing with life.
Thanks for sharing that Mecch, my best mate gets very drunk on Champagne, even murdered my garden gnome after a Champaigne session, but she will be please to hear that her brain cells are still intact and protected from any injuries. ;)

Obviously due, in no small part, to the preservatives in the all the processed food floating around in this thread. Oh, and alcohol too.
I better start filling up with preservatives and alcohol then Ann, I refuse to die before this thread does. ;)

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!
(http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/IwuvPhilly/hemp_zps932fe376.jpg)
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.
-
be careful, I hear it's a gateway drug

Don't tell me all you got at Whole Foods were a lousy bag of overpriced seeds.

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 :)
-
I had to go into the city yesterday for my blood to be drawn. Of course, I got lost so I ended up getting there while they were closed for lunch. Yes, I know how to get there, but a detour messed me up and I ended up on the interstate heading the wrong direction.
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.

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.
-
However, mere blocks away I have the Hung Vuong Supermarket where I can feast on spiked durian, sea cucumbers, pig snouts and live frogs. Walk a couple more blocks east and you can buy live poultry and rabbits.

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.
-
Guss' ?
I must be a zillion years old I remember New York when there were Jews and pickle barrels and fabric shops on Orchard Street and Italians in Little Italy.
-
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:

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!
Plus this is located directly across the street (http://www.capogirogelato.com/) for dessert if you don't want a shake.

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.
-
The best shrimp in the world is Texas Gulf Shrimp, and this was not that.
-
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!

No doubt Wumpy's all-you-can-eat shrimp was from some place that pumps it full of toxins.
-
When I can't afford wild salmon, which is most of the time these days, I buy smoke herring. Its not farmed, its cheap, it tastes like fish and its delicious...
Though the worrywarts tell me its overfished... Ruining eveything.
-
They visited a bio production in Vietnam. Its not just the west that is hip and pc about food production and interested in whole foods, sustainable food production etc etc.
I saw another doc about quality food production in China, which exists, and in demand. We just don't get it... We get the crap.

Red Lobster's shrimp is sourced from the luscious and bountiful shrimp farms of Ecuador (http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/articles/article/4395) <interesting read btw.

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...
-
Anyway, having travelled around, I'm pretty sure every big city these days has a serious restaurant scene. These City Mags make much to do about nothing.
As they say, "It's the Paris of the ....... "
I can't afford the innovative or gastronomic restaurants in Switzerland, let alone to invite twinkies to come dine with me.
I have sticker shock every time I leave the grocery store.

I learned at a pretty young age that I very much enjoy a savory well done cheap meal that I can afford, like the perfect burrito or pizza or chinese joint, than sweating about overpriced trendy stuff, that may be tasty but will cause pain on the monthly budget.
Love it when someone rich pays.
Luxury food. Luxury clothing. All luxury. Its best consumed when there is no worry about the expense.... That's my opinion.

I called them and reported the theft .

Pffft. New Mexicans are always trying to steal our Texan glory ::) You really got to keep an eye on them. But yes the Frito and Frito Pie were invented here in SAN ANTONIO Texas (You're welcome world). Frito Pie is an actual food group here....and now I'm hungry for one.

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.

There's a place here where they put the blue cheese inside the middle of the burger.

OK japanese vintage. My macs are on mid-century regency brass and smoked glass.
Drink my coffee out of classic french tumblers, or mid-century european milk-glass mugs, or arocroc amber. I have a huge collection of arcoroc amber. Also Octime. Black octagon service that seems so Nagel to me. Gemany is the mother lode for this stuff.
Only buy it when its flawless, and after a couple of years it will scratch which renders anything industrial and mid-century hideous and depressing...

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.
If I'm drinking tea (doesn't happen often), I use a smaller white ceramic mug with a cute little bunny rabbit painted on it.
-
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.

Lunch today is a few slices of mortadella and a wedge of Anton's (Germany) Peppered Ass cheese (yes, it's actually called that -- it has peppercorns in the cheese), and some sesame water crackers.
Oh, and a pot of Japanese green sencha fula midori tea.
Later I will be having a manicure.
-
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.
-
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.

ps: I just had seven cocktails at three locations and am now very, very inebriated. So I added two muscle relaxers and a 800mg ibuprofen for extra surprises. Wake me in the morning, Guilhermina!

No, but I assume in my vomit besides all the alcohol there were also remnants of raw oysters, fried snails, and pig tails. Courtesy of alla Spina (http://www.allaspinaphilly.com/index.php/alla_spina_menu)
Then I went to the Dolphin Tavern and then Boots & Saddle -- both two new hipster bars mere blocks away.
ps: I just washed my sheets and shampooed my carpet.
-
I really enjoyed the micro brew bars , never had a Beer in one I disliked . I . love Pigs trotters but have not seen tails. Its good to read about you having a night on the town after all the mechanics.
-
raw oysters, fried snails, and pig tails.
Maybe it wasn't just the cocktails but the lovely combination...
-
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? Oh, and I had the most amazing donut bread pudding with a side of fior di latte gelato for dessert.
-
Well I'm all for such rarified delicacies but all together its sounds heavy and liver challenging. High protein, high fat, + booze.
As an aside I'm jealous as to get any sort of creative spread like that in Switzerland I'd have to go "gastronomic" and shell out at least 200 bucks.
-
btw, this restaurant also has roasted pig's head-for-two glazed in caramelized beer. I need to go back and try that with a more adventurous friend.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Calf,s liver with horseradish butter mashed potatoes------arh.
Soon there will be pheasant ,the first one roasted , with as much yellow fat on it as pos , with potatoes roasted in goose fat the second casseroled with puy lentils /carrots heavy red wine in the sauce for both .

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 ;)

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.

How to drink like a proper Southerner..

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

... 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?

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.

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.
My name is Will.. I am an ice cream addict.

I think Ill just masturbate now.

Oh I adore fresh spinach. I just keep canned goods for those nights I get lazy. Remember I'm a swinging single with a full dance card and don't always have time to cook, unlike you boring, married, wet rags 8)

Oyster roast?
What is this please?
And I am not the only Euro reading this thinking
Oyster roast
Whats dat
K?
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.

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 .
-
Well everything is steamed, technically, but its sort of a baking process.

In the spirit of the upcoming holidays, I broke most of my dieting rules with this deep fried, cheesecake ridden, sugar topped sopapilla. They recently opened mere blocks away and I usually get a simple taco but she talked me into this today even though she couldn't tell me how many calories are in it.

Someone left a box of these in the dining car on my train home tonight. It was clearly unopened but now its open and I'm eating them. Its probably the best confiserie in Switzerland and I couldn't resist.

Texas leads the nation in Deep Fried Turkey Accidents (http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/11/27/this-state-has-most-deep-fried-turkey-accidents/) on Thanksgiving Day.
But before P starts cackling, Pennsylvania comes in 3rd.
Here is an extremely informative PSA on Deep frying a turkey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xPV27MxkF8#t=78

I dunno. I think the US does the best cookies or cookie-like little pastries. Any classic italian pastry shop in the US will do for me. Now if this had been a box of Sprungli pralines..... die and go to heaven.
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.
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g188057-d2344392-Reviews-Parfums_de_Beyrouth-Geneva.html

There truly is something about a whiskey and a nice cigarette, and maybe a deep leather chair.

Well whisky and a cigar, but a cigar takes time and commitment, the good ones are expensive, and day old cigar smell is pretty gross...

Of course I am up way too early.... woke up thinking about how nice a ham biscuit would be this morning. I may just have to cook some Mrs B's biscuits and open up that package of country ham that's been calling my name.

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

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.
ed--spelling as usual
-
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.
Now you want gastronomy, Switzerland, Bavaria and Spain are were the action is. You pay through the nose. Not so fun if in fact its you who is paying...

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 .

When I was prime booty and in Paris I'd set a challenge to get invited to the Opera and one of those belle époque brasseries along the Avenue de l'Opera. I thought it was impossibly nostalgic and glamorous. Sometimes Id fall asleep in the opera and that only made it more decadent since it wasn't on my centime.

OH yeah this was one,

Even when I was poor in NY I would scrounge my coins to go pay for my own oyster soup in Grand Central, especially in winter it was cosy to be down there.
I can't ever remember a big fresh seafood display in NY like was common in Paris. Im sure that must have changed by now?
Imagine what it was like to eat at the original Delmonicos.

Keith McNally places always had them, at least from the mid-90's Balthazar onwards, perhaps Odeon before that. Previous to that I'm sure places like Café des Artistes, Lutèce, Le Cirque, Le Bernardin and Gotham had them.

The Persians definitely used velveeta melted "cheese" on that appalling dish that the Wumpetta seems to find so authentic. It reduces me to tears.
Wilhemina's culinary taste is on a downward spiral. And I won't even comment on his geographic knowledge. Not when he's about to ask someone who probably comes from Monclova about their opinion on the gastronomy of Yucatán :'(

Now, what has any of this got to do with tex-mex?
-
Uh Hello. Egyptian does not equal Iranian. Get your globe out.
As you will note I hyphenated the use in the previous post because I thought they were dual nationals. Like an Egyptian man and a Persian man owned the place jointedly. You've changed your story so many times...
-
The Persians definitely used velveeta melted "cheese" on that appalling dish that the Wumpetta seems to find so authentic. It reduces me to tears.
Wilhemina's culinary taste is on a downward spiral. And I won't even comment on his geographic knowledge. Not when he's about to ask someone who probably comes from Monclova about their opinion on the gastronomy of Yucatán :'(
Sad.
Awe! Look who came out of their hole just to take a jab at me. I feel so special :P

Tonight's dinner is Styker Farm antibiotic-free, (from pasture and forest raised pigs) pulled pork BBQ, guanciale-greased skillet cornbread made from organic, stone-ground coarse cornmeal and buttered with Parma, Italy butter; and a side of Brooklyn Brine maple bourbon pickles -- u jelly?

I've never seen you not eat dinner (sorry, I mean "suppah") later than 5 PM Central Time, like all godly Texans. You might as well freeze those Slovak disasters and head for the BK drive through.

[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...

Also supper in the middle of the summer night, at Newport:

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 . I love chocolate and have bought in Chicago in shops that made it there, I bet that was fancy chocolate and I didn't even know . I hate the waxy kind and love dark as well, no one around here likes dark chocolate like I do .
-
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.

I just made a dark chocolate cake, with dark chocolate frosting (all homemade), with shaved peppermint bark on top.
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.

Mary please, I had an exquisite Cubano, and two specialty drinks: a raspberry chilled daiquiri straight up and a Tormenta (Guyanese Demarara rum with cardamon and fresh mint) all at the newly opened Rosa Blanca Diner (http://philadelphia.rosablancadiner.com) by Iron Chef Jose Garces in the trendy Washington Square neighborhood after my eye doctor appointment, followed by a jaunt to the new branch of DiBruno's around the corner to pick up some take out sushi for dinner, plus a gourmet rice crispy bar and blood orange soda.
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!"
ps: I may need extra klonopin this evening.

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.

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.

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.

I don't go for that pastured and free range meat thing . I want my meat to be on the verge of suicide before the butcher gets to it so I don't feel as guilty .

This bacon is amazing -- nothing like hog from the Amish! It's actually similar in cut to the superlative bacon found in the UK, but with a better curing process.

those dolls are CREEPY
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 agree about marvelling at human diversity.
But it still creeps me out and I think a big part of that is unavoidably imagining what it would be like to be inside all that latex - I wouldn't even want to wear an item of latex clothing, fetish be damned. Makes my skin crawl and makes me feel claustrophobic. ~shudder~

I don't think he will win Top Chef though, but he's done really great to last this long and his restaurant is getting very good reviews. He's kind of adorable too though he get stressed out and bitchy easily, but hey so do I.

Were those baked? Meatballs are browned in an iron skillet. All beef or veal, pork, and beef?
Parmesan? Looks like cheddar cheese. Anyway, you should have used pecorino.
Garlic? Parsley? Pine nuts? And it should go unsaid that your breadcrumbs were homemade.

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.
-
They don't sound dreadful, except for not making your own bread crumbs of course. Were they those kind that are really fine or were they cubes?
Clutch the pearls however -- you don't possess an iron skillet?
ps: if you order meatballs on top of your pasta in Italy they will laugh at you -- they are always separate courses.

I am severely addicted to massive amounts of sunflower seeds that I eat every day . I eat the kind in the shell that is roasted and salted . I have slightly low blood pressure so my doctor says as long as that and my kidney function is OK its not a problem . Its a whole lot of salt but I will have a hard time not eating them when the day comes I cant .
-
I knew you were addicted to those but I always assumed that they were unsalted. I'm amazed you take in that much salt daily.
What about hypertension -- you're not on any Bp meds yet? I went on them at the age of 40 and I've never been a salt addict in my life.

I do not have hypertension or any history of heart disease . I actually took a bag of the seeds just to show my endocrinologist how much salt I was getting and she told me what I shared .
-
I have low BP also, always have. When I was in the hospital, it got down to 75/40. I have also been told I should eat a lot of salt, I really don't, but when I get labs, my sodium level is always a little low.

I like this in the winter especially, and its good to snack on along with trail mix when out for a long walk. For trail mix I like salted nuts mixed in with unsalted nuts and dried fruit of course.
In winter I crave dried figs (but not TOO dried.. still kinda moist and succulent). Must be a mineral in them or something

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.

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)

No bush meat. Lots of veggies (they are big on eggplant - YUCK!), soups, lamb, beef, chicken. Nothing too exotic actually.". Though it is a safari company that, despite employing Tanzanians (at above average wages...), still caters to Americans.

Its a fountain of flowing cheddar cheese for tempura . The cheddar fountain at golden corral has a sign warning parents to keep the kids out of it as well at the chocolate fountain ...

i don't think real cheese is legal in the united states, you can't sell it at least. now there was nasty stuff they made me eat in france, had mites on it. and in switzerland i asked if they had swiss cheese, didn't get a laugh.
the real question is, how long does cheese last? doesn't it just become another type of cheese?

I usually LOVE the corny show "The Neighbors". Its about aliens who live in suburbia next to couple who have moved "up" from Bayonnne. (Moving on up...)
Anyway the latest episode was god awful. They were hosting an "Oscars Party" and the alien neighbours tried to be nice by surprising them with fancy fixings. Carrot Top and Erik Estrada were there.

i don't think real cheese is legal in the united states, you can't sell it at least.
I'm not sure what you're attempting to say here, but of course "real cheese" is made in the US -- quite excellent ones too if you know where to buy them.
http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/blogs/editor/2013/05/great-american-artisanal-cheeses-to-eat-now.html
But it's true, what most American purchase if vile, processed cheese full of emulsifiers, saturated vegetable fats and food coloring.
-
ms p, in the same way that this forum has a few running gags and topics that are repeatedly poked fun at, ask a long distance backpacker how long it takes cheese to rot. all i really did was bring something in here i knew yall probably wouldn't get.

ALERT!
I just got back from Golden Corral....AND THE CHEESE FOUNTAIN WAS DOWN. So I had to double up on The Chocolate Fountain, which was was going like crazy... I had to elbow my way through the small gathering of 6-14y/o's but I made I finally made it to the liquid chocolately goodness.
I voiced my dismay to the powers that be, but to no avail.

I would write an angry email to corporate if I were you . Let them know how it made you feel when the cheese fountain was down and maybe explain that you have an incurable illness and can never get back the time you spent standing there in utter shock and heartbroken over the incident .

The Swiss call it fondue and it doesn't need to squirt out of a fountain. :)
A fondue restaurant reeks.. Some places have a special room you have to go to, to order melted cheese dishes.
If real cheese was squirting hotly through a fountain, all the diners might easily throw up.

I had some friends in Rockford Illinois who own a fondue restaurant . I would go to the bar and have drinks but I never had the fondue there because the place reeked really bad .

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.
-
When you want sauce with steak, what sauce?
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.

Do you Southerners still cook your steaks well done like dried up leather?
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.
This weekend coming up will be grilling weather here but not sure what will end up on it yet.
-

I ran some errands today and decided to pop into the Mohegan Sun Casino for a rare appearance. Not much gambling but I had a blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich and a margarita at Jimmy Buffet's.
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.

yeah swiss butter, swiss chocolate, and swiss eggs.
Got to think twice before I buy swiss eggs, one of the staples that doesn't bother to compete with European price points.
-
6 organic free range swiss eggs = 5.40 USD
6 non-organic swiss eggs, raised on ground not cages = 3.85 USD
10 budget imported (usually German) eggs, raised on ground not cages = 2.70 USD

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.
Bonus point: I know you don't have any delicious Cape May Salt Oysters where you live

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.

And yes, shop local.
-
Yikes! $10.80 a dozen? Are they gold plated?
well, they are organic. And raised in yards, maybe in view of the Alps, even :o so....
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.
-
I can get the in Philly for ~$4-5/dozen @ Reading Terminal Market
-
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.
-

They are about $4-5/dz here as well in the grocery stores. No decent farmer's market nearby.
We get our eggs from our neighbor. Free-range organic and they have a view of the Connecticut River. :)

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 can process music and video and play 1080p and surf dozens of flash sites even... No heat. Nothing. Its like the electronics aren't there at all. Its just a portal.

Until the week when my choc bill was $45 and that is not sustainable .

Here, the local governments pay for offices and specialists - where you can go check your wild mushroom haul to make sure they're safe.
Supposedly in the Jura Mountains one can forage for psychedelic mushrooms but I don't know anyone who knows how to do this. :(

You can pick Liberty Caps on Douglas Head - I forget if it's in the spring or autumn though. Sometimes you can find them in the west of the Rock too, but Douglas Head is famous for them.

liberty caps... 5g... say hello to the old gods and make up a couple new ones
around here we have a species commonly called golden teachers thats related
seriously, black bear are known to eat them and crash out for days at a time

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.

Oh, good grief. These high falutin' "ramps" are just spring onions.

I just grilled a choice fat rib eye medium rare and extended my pinkie while eating it so it was fine dining in front of the TV . I put my 3 dollar wallmart t-shirt on in case I drip grease ... its the classy thing to do . I usually reserve that shirt for fine fried chicken dining in front of the tv but took a walk on the wild side used it for steak .

yall yuppies pay good money for hen of the woods huh? i've found growths that are big enough to wrap both arms around... was always taught they are best when a little less than watermelon sized though.
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)
tim, some call them wild leeks too

Do yours taste like garlic, yes or no?
so if the two of you have plentiful access to ramps and hen of the woods you have no excuse for begging off poor
-
i ate an apple today.
-
I put lipstick on my weeds and call them Ramps.
-
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
-
Your granny and her poke salad sound divine. ;D
-
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.

I think I lost a year just reading that! Maybe she and Wumpy have a secret. Maybe it was the apple he ate yesterday?
-
I thought it strange how my granny would cut tomato's in chunks and serve it covered in bacon gravy . I didn't care for then but now I love it every now and then .
-
this is something i try not to think about too often, but she kept a tin of lard on the counter, reused it for god knows how long, made the absolute best green beans with that lard. i have no idea why, but when she was done cooking, she'd let it cool, then later warm it up to pour it back into the tin

My grandmother was a great country women running an acre =chickens=pig. She taught my Mother all her skills.
Lard bowl was a feature off my boyhood larder , when ever lard was used it was strained through a piece off muslin into the yard bowl. Waste not want not .
-
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.
-
im talking real lard... i even just fucked up and googled a picture of it, can't believe they still sell it, and in the same paint can i remember... armour 100% pure lard, 4lb net weight
pardon while i go vomit
i learned very young to not ask my granny any questions about the food i liked to eat, i wasn't really ready for the truth
-
I used to have ask allot of questions before dinner at granny's house to make sure I wasn't eating tripe or chitlins .
-
Speaking of tripe and lard -- you just have to know how to go about it (http://www.leparfait.com/recipe/french-tripes-a-la-lyonnaise_419) correctly.
I'm sure I can score lard easily at the numerous butcher shops at the Italian market. Tripe too.
-
Tripe is nasty .
-
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.
-
I do not understand the love off Tripe , My Mothers brothers and sisters loved tripe cooked in milk and onions , shudder , same reaction in posh rest, in Normandy shudder and gag . When my in-laws served me grits we narrowly avoided an international incident .
I was taking about PIG lard in the UK it is sold in 8 oz and 1lb blocks covered in grease proof paper which was also saved to grease pans . Crisco is unknown in UK , unless someone has a Tee SHirt with it on.
-

nonsense (http://www.skyhi.me.uk/lube/cream-grease/crisco)... it has quite a fan club in certain quarters

Lard is pork fat.
Crisco has always been vegetable fat. Its so mixed and whipped and hydrogenated it contains "fat" substances unknown in nature.
Lard aka Saindoux is found so easily here. Not so in the USA?

Can you actually buy lard? Not sure I've even seen it in a store. That, and I don't use it.
-

Yes, I know I've seen it around both upscale places like DiBruno's and at butcher shops. I don't think I've seen it in common supermarkets yet.
Oh, and little Mexican grocery shops carry it.
-
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.

ms p, dining with the amish, that completes some sort of perv fantasy of mine

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.

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.

this may seem like a no brainer, but a warning to all
after a cup of wine, and two lorazapams, dont take the shiny new knife, and the pretty new cutting board, at midnight, and chop potatoes with mushrooms for a late night snack
you'll get infected aidsey blood everywhere
luckily, i got the shiny new knife sharpener too. so sharp i didn't feel a thing. but damn the tip of thumb is gone, in the pan now, frying up with the taters. mmmm

Damn Zach sorry about your thumb . I hate when I cut myself cooking, doesn't happen much but its always before I add the onions or lemon to something .

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.

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
-
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.

she is in st louis, i kind of hate it there, but she married that guy so.
i don't run out, ever. i keep spares in the closet. people joke that i have a white trash wine cellar in my hall closet. my newest thing is a modified bladder for backpacking, with a hose routed around the shoulder strap, and a bite valve that dangles at my mouth for easy access. the bladder fits perfect in the side pocket of my pack. i'm brilliant i guess, worked out how to drink and hike. and my hiking staff is a bamboo pole, the top section i've modified to be a pipe, can add water and make it a bubbler. i think creativity is important.

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.

Excellent when toting up your carbon"Food Miles" at the end off the week , do they have an open stand pipe Ala Vichy and many others throughout Europe .
Staying with Lady Jane near Rhonda , Spain water collecting took up as long as you wanted it to. As each public spring was famous for something or other. So you returned home with 2 lt plastic bottles labelled San Lois---FARTS.,
Lorca rd---itchy skin. And so on. Plus lots off gossip collected en route. Bliss.

How long do you think it will take you?
There was quite the craze for Orange Box labells when I was a laddie in the sixties , they intrigued me , could not work out how the colours where dark and bright at the same time , lots off Spanish ladies but they mostly had USA another confusion for a 8 year old.

Some smarty pants franchiser should cut a deal with corporate to do local, sustainable, bio if possible, fast food.
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.
Why do I think people would be happy to spend the extra franc or two to stuff their kids full of politically-correct, real tasting versions of McDo?

Not sure about locally sourced but there are some healthy fast food chains like www.veggiegrill.com
There is also a Mexican fast food chain here that uses locally produced food.

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.
This actually looks pretty good. I would give them another shot but doubt Connecticut will be seeing this new concept any time soon.

What are "real plates" and what are they using now make believe plates ? A trough ? Miss P links are very helpful in these threads to the population who are not American , I do not expect you to do it Jeff enough work MODing the thing just credit where its due.
I remember Miss p saying that he has a stash off White Castle are they Gourmet Burgers ?
I do love all this detail. Now the anti -bees are finished appetite has returned and I would enjoy a good blue cheese burger NOW.

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.

So, my home made sauerkraut turned out scrumptious! We had it last night with corned beef and potato salad. It had more crunch than the canned/jarred version.
I'm sure you were all wondering. lol.
ps- it's high on the list for foods containing probiotics. :)
-
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.

Michael, yes, there are farmer's markets across the US. We have quite a few where I live, which may be a surprise to some, but there are several farms in this area. We always get a huge influx of migrant workers later in the summer.

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
-
That was probably a Vietnamese summer roll with peanut sauce -- divine!
And they most certainly have coffee in a Vietnamese restaurant, it's just served over ice -- espresso shot or two with condensed milk as a sweetener. Also divine!
Now, how 'bout some boiled shrimp with Old Bay seasoning?

Shrimp is for seafood lightweights -- seriously, if you can't stomach it what other seafood do you eat? Frozen fish sticks with tartar sauce?

Now, shall we move on to octopus, squid and raw sea urchin?

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 .
-
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.

boiled crawfish, gator tail steaks, and a few raw oysters
and a lot of tabasco
-
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).

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 .

very good Jeff. I hope that U can overcome the Insulin injections in the long run if You stay on strict diet. It is not easy, I know that :)

Seriously? This video clip was a little too eerie. All that was missing was the perfectly coifed blonde women in spandex mini-skirt uniforms with a couple of Morlock and Eloi thrown in for dramatic effect. Adds new meaning to 'Drink your juice, Shelby!'

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 .
Don't be switching over to a cucumber and banana diet lest you get made fun of ;D
OH, and I did eat some egg noodles with some real butter topped with pepper last night. Lipids be damned, I so miss that meal. Used to have it a couple of times per month.

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.

That's some scary shit. I've read reports of people eating peoples' faces and such under the influence of bath salts. Wonder if that butcher who recently ate the girl was doing them? That girl graduated from the same highschool I attended for a while. OH, and John Holmes also graduated from there.

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.

They sell fake pot at gas stations . This is a intersting piece off world news. The world if 'legal ' highs is big here with sudden enthusiasms And tragedies hitting the press in shock horror fashion. 22 Summer music festivals are no longer selling stall space to sellers. So that saves the sellers quite a bit when they park up outside.
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 made a vietnamese dinner yesterday - homemade nuoc cham dipping sauce, fried spring rolls (bought frozen at the asian shop) and a beef lemongrasss noodle salad type thing.
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.
The other day I was at a couscous party and everything was succulent and i couldn't get enough of the harissa.....

Just had the most fabulous El Monterey egg and bacon frozen/microwaved burrito.

I treat my company right ... I made breakfast for two in one 1 min and 30 sec. I do have plans for lunch at a nice place to make up for the breakfast .
-
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.
Its all good when you're drunk/stoned and hungry.... And affordable.
-
mecch;
These food trucks are not your father's polish restaurant.....the competition is so fierce that they really have to do something different to stand out. While DanO is dismissing these carts now, he will be critiquing Miss P's tastes, and espousing the virtues of these epicurean delights on wheels before the year is out.

LOL - I'm not dismissing them, I'm just saying that they could put whip cream on a turnip and tell me it's an authentic Finnish treat traditionally served at a wedding and I wouldn't know the difference. I've had some very GOOD snackage at some....some very BAD snackage at others. I'm not certain if it was bad because I am not accustomed to palate-orgies or it was bad because it was just plain BAD.
-
We had lunch here ...http://www.surinwest.com . I had the thai whip cream turnip roll .
-
ahhhh...the whip cream turnip roll, it is a very traditional roll that is served by the Southern Thai on very special occasions to drive Northern Thai
guests spirits away.
-
I've eaten Haggis. Since then, I my stomach has no fear of anything and that would include the savory whipped-cream turnip roll. Sometimes, there is not enough hot sauce to sufficiently kill the mere thought of some things in your mouth.
-
Anyone ever try a plumcot?
75% plum and 25% apricot... I find they're delightfully sweet but not too sweet like a regular plulm would be.

Lunch yesterday at The Bright Star.
Lots of well dressed after church crowd. Busy place. Waitstaff formally attired.
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've been told "Bless your heart" 3 times so far. My, these southerners are so sweet.

I have finally found a Portland Food Cart that has redeemed my opinion. I passed up the one which advertised "Guam Food" and another that had something related to "Bangkok Laotian".....which made no sense...and just kept following the small crowd that looked like a feeding hoard from The Walking Dead. I figured these Rubinesque diners MUST know where the good eats are! Then, I found it:

Heaven. The operator claimed to be vegan. Only in Portland!!
And on the menu they have MAN BAIT LOLLIPOPS. Well, ok, get you some!!!!

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.
-
I did a 30 day challenge after a member here (can't remember who) made a comment about being tethered to your weight scale. I thought it would be a great test and went from stepping on them a couple of times per day to having them hidden away for the entire 30 days.
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.
-

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.

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?

* Pickled Turkey Gizzards
* Pickled (raw) fish

Pickling is a good way to cut the slime of zucchini and okra.

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.

Thank you mr wump, trying to get back but quickly brain fogged though totally free off pain and anxiety thanks to lovely dovely Pregabelin and increased steroid consumption.
Not at all sure I have the correct spelling for Pregabelin but that's how it's sounds.
It has achieved what gallons off hydro morph failed to do, in just two little pills.I love it and will fright to keep it.

Say it aint so ... Ramen Noodles are bad for you ? https://www.yahoo.com/health/why-ramen-noodles-could-cut-your-life-short-94747327572.html

I've only had Ramen noodles once and that was just last year. Had to at least try it.
McD's is probably getting prepared for being forced or shamed into paying $10/hr wages. Get rid of the cashiers so the CEO can keep raking in millions feeding people slop.
Meanwhile...
This is what's for dinner tonight! First time this summer and on sale for $5.99/lb. :)

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.

sounds, um, tasty.

I don't like most seafood ,however I always wanted to try lobster but never could bring myself to pay the price for one just to try, Waiting on someone to ask me out that likes lobster just so I can try without paying for something I really might not like!

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.

I'm on my third night of beans people. My cat won't even sleep with me now.
I guess I will toss them after dinner tonight.

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.

-
That looks delicious but also the presentation looks like an alien creature.
-
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.
-
That really does look good! Only wish we had a better selection of mushrooms here. It's button, porto's, and occasionally, well, I forget the third one. Oops. :)

2 chicken tenders; 1.5 oz. of roast turkey; 1.5 oz. of ham; 1 slice of Swiss cheese; 1.5 oz. of corned beef; 1.5 oz. brisket; 1.5 oz. of Angus steak; 1 slice of cheddar cheese; 1.5 oz. roast beef and 3 half-strips of bacon.
What is a "half strip" of bacon?
Wow, 2 entire slices of cheese. What gluttony!
That is a very creative photo if it is supposed to be just the above ingredient.
Remove the chicken patties and you have 9oz of deli meat. Large, but NOT that pile. I guess nobody ever ate a sandwich at a NY italian or jewish deli. jeez.

Looks wonderful . I had roast beef and rice .
-
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 .
-
Looks good Ms P Even though I have no clue what rapine is. so will google . I had fried chicken and slaw
-
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.

Hence your perpetual fatigue and caterwauling of same.
Ehh, gym 3-4 times a week !
Run 8-10 miles on days off gym.
My fatigue is from fatigue.

Great my yard needs mowed care to come do that for me next? palm springs is far away from redneck hell. on second thought nm about the yard bit far for you to travel

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. :)

All yoghurt does not equal healthy.
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

Um, no. I just can't eat that kind of volume of food in one sitting.
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.

Oh, we have enough poor children here to chomp on. No need to go out of state! Got to eat or be eaten. I do worry a bit about my right-winged psycho wealthy neighbors at times licking their lips when they see me though.

lol. I'm sure you have many other similar synonyms for that as you can caterwaul yourself at times. ;)

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.

We can't let this thread die especially now that I've become a carnivore. In my depressive state last night, I ordered a fat ladden, high calorie cheeseburger. Bonnie already started to write down my typical salad order and seemed shocked. :)
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.

:) 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. ;)

btw, and can already tell Mario to fuck himself on portions of this recipe -- they require far more than 30 minutes to get to a properly soft texture. I'm already at one hour and they are nowhere near done yet.

Beans soaked and cooked at home always seem to take much longer.
Pressure cooking, perhaps?
-
I don't believe in soaking beans no matter what a cook book or recipe call for, you just put them on and cook them . I make great beans .
-
Some people soak white rice for 30 minutes before cooking.
-
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 .
-
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 .
Now your fancy smansy dish may call for mushy over cooked beans and that's OK too .
-
I was told if you soak beans first they won't give you gas. .

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/). I bet you Southern queens don't use panko.

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.

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.
-
i intentionally get full fat milk, real butter, best cuts of meat, etc
and still i look wasted
-
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.

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.

Have you tried going to one of those bodybuilder type stores and buying protein shake powder and adding two of those per day to your nutrition intake? I did that religiously when I had HIV wasting and gained the weight back -- took a couple of years but I was very disciplined about it.

Straight from Wolfie's kitchen, another beautiful salad. I even sauteed the diced up chicken after boiling it.

Like I'm so sure Southern girls use veal stock, red wine and diced shallots to make to make one of the five mother sauces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espagnole_sauce) of classic French Escoffier cuisine.
-
So u used green onions and french wine to fry the chops in? Got it lol
-
i first learned about mother sauces from a girl in new orleans, sous chef at the palace cafe. she also taught me which forks to use when. mémé knew all that, but said i was a heathen, so i ate at the picnic table on the porch.

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?
-
wolfie is a happy house bitch now
dress sexy when you cook your man dinner, they like that
-
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.
-
Thought some of you might like some new idea's on things to cook this winter (http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag419/bonnie_smith6/63707_319676564883832_8611929191530909512_n_zpsac204f59.png) :P
-
I guess I can't complain about the grease smell any longer. I'm not even sure if I really smelled it or just knew it was there. When I made mention of it, he said it obviously doesn't smell as bad as cigarette smoke......OOPS. thought I was being really sneaky by smoking in the guest bathroom and blowing it straight into the exhaust vent. :)
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.
-
I have 10 lbs of pig-n-kraut on the stove and a pot of butter beans as well . Its a good thing this stuff freezes well, its allot of food for one person .
-
I love sauerkraut and pork shoulder , two of my neighbors like it also,
made it early in the Fall. have to cook it when I 'm home alone ,
I don't think it stinks ! always have it with potato dumplings .
Separate the pork after and you can have pull pork sandwiches
with lime or Barbeque sauce.

Well, being naked is always good....not on fuzzy recliners with built in cup holders. outer space might be a good thing !!

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.
-
And use stone ground non-commercial cornmeal
Proper "cracklin" needs real pork cracklings not bacon #recipefail
-

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 .
-
Corn bread scmornd bread. This topic comes up every single year but nobody sends me a mere morsel. :'(

Sounds good , love cornbread !
think buttermilk is key in most southern recipes
especially fried chicken !
bacon fat and lard (if you can get it ) mixture a must !!!

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.

These are leftovers from the Christmas ham my mother cooked. I think she mentioned that it was from Kentucky but she's not loyal to any particular brand. It was an extra tasty one this year. I could eat it every day but then my blood pressure would sky rocket.

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.
-
I want to try that too . When I tried the K L brand the first time I was not expecting much because its an off the bone ham, but its salty and good . The honey baked ham we had was salty as well except on the edgers where the sugar was .
-
So much ham talk. It reminds me of Melissa McCarthy on SNL.
ps- I like Kentucky Legend as well and it goes on sale here sometimes for $3.99 lb.
-
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".
-
Forget pork. I'm moving on to merguez (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merguez) and left-over Gouda potato gratin for dinner, and one last serving of panettone bread pudding with orange Gran Marnier sauce.
-
not my favourite liquor but met a bartender at a party that was serving average cremants so he mixed several "champagne" cocktails with grand marnier and they were great for the season.
-
I never drink Gran Marnier but it worked very well in this sauce. This is the recipe if anyone is interested -- it was a huge hit with my parents:

-
My dad always like these country hams. I think they are way to salty for my taste but he swore these were the best. Miller's Country Hams in Dresden, TN
-
I've trained my mother to soak the ham for three days instead of two. It does help draw out a bit extra salt. And then of course she does the slow cooking in the oven overnight.
-
Yep dad said you are suppose to soak them. but never said how long I only bought them for him never like them like I said to much salt!
-
Got a Kentucky Legend on sale today
They are salty , but that's Ham !
I like them because you put a slice into a hot skillet and is not floating in water
-
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!

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.

Oh Look! Wumpy's Garden 'o PlentyTM is coming in nicely.
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'm having to double my garden size this year (Yes MissP that means more cinderblocks)

-
I tried growing brussel sprouts here once. The cabbage worms destroyed them.
I'm not sure if anyone ever planted okra here. Never saw no seeds, plantets. no not'in.
Your June must be our August. :P Maybe I'll just move down there! :-\

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
-
Happy Birthday. So what did yo eat and what wine did you drink?
-
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.
(http://i60.tinypic.com/33f51fm.jpg)
-
Impressive. The husk merinque is so original. And what was the 500 buck wine?
-
Happy Belated Birthday Miss P .
-
Happy birthday, David. 50 in huge, at least IMO. Glad you had a nice time.
-
Happy Birthday MsP I stopped having birthdays at 29 . lol however my oldest daughter said that I couldn't say that anymore. because now she would be older then me... Ha well it worked for a few years
-
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).

Actually no, but I get enough dairy from cheese. Almond milk keeps really long and as it's from nuts has other good things in it. I think it tastes perfectly fine.

I love almond milk,
Most brands have more calcium and less carbs than skim milk !

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.

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 !

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.

I thought you might say that. lol. Your "pizza stamp of approval" means as much to me. :)
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.
btw- Our return flight has a 3 hour layover in Houston. Gonna come see us?

Willy,
Ever figure out what that big green ball in your garden is ?
Had steamers and hot crusty bread for supper...Yum !
No sand in them ,unusual for winter.
Cocktails ,fiends and a fire...doesn't get much better !
-
I gotta hurry and get Betty and Marks Okry in!
Yes, please do! Memphis will be here before you know it!
-
Kind of looks like cabbage to me but hard to tell for sure from pics. You should have a contest see who can guess it and you buy the winner a drink in memphis
-
Looks like a cabbage to me too
Willy said he had Brussel sprouts there last year,
I've seen them on the stalks in the grocery store,
But never have seen them grow. So I'm guessing Brussels Sprouts !

Congratulations on those results. The key to success is allowing and forgiving occasional hiccups so I vote no to the clam roll and yes to continuing your diet! Again congrats.

Thank Mecch,
Still haven't lost the 5 lbs I gained back, but haven't gained any more either.
Didn't have the clam roll by the way !

i'm so glad you asked! for the low low price of $19.99 USD (conveniently billed to your credit card, renews automatically, cancel anytime) you too can enjoy the benefits of this organic, naturopathic, nutroceutical, alternative, holistic herbal program delivered straight to your door. all natural so you know it's safe! like pizza, but without the judgement
after a six month cleanse with this diet, you'll be ready for the beck protocol device by dr bob beck, self electrocution to treat everything under the sun. drink an 8 ounce glass of colloidal silver, then shock yourself into a healthy new life. all in the comfort and privacy of your own home!

;D just instigating is all folks... not that i'm proud, but it ain't beneath me
all the conversation about alternative treatments, just wanted to draw a foolish caricature
bananas, garlic, black seed, tumeric, silver water... c'mon folks, don't let yourself be sold false hope
that green shit in the bottle, that really is treatment a few a posters have been babbling about... freedom of speech and all, so let em preach i guess... but i figure a picture is worth a thousand words
the beck protocol... thats a real scam too... seriously, shock yourself to heal yourself
all just snake oil to me, and yeah, i'm a bit of an ass about it, i know i piss off the powers that be with my behavior
-
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.
-
I purified my blood with lots of Vodka in the 80s,
Think it worked for me too.

That actually reminded me, I was a gin freak back then! My wino stage did happen til the 90's after discovering gin got me drunk too quickly. I dilute my wine with cranberry juice so it qualifies as a meal. :)

It was common knowledge amongst bartenders back then,
Bad girls drink Gin ! LOL
Blast from the past...
I still drink vodka , and still beleive it keeps my blood pure...

Have we usurped this thread into a "nutrition, Wolfette style" thread? OOPSY.

Wolfie...
I'm am teasing a particular member, I figured since nutrition went to drinking, perfect opportunity!! LOL

Alright my lovelies... The whole almond milk thing spurged me on to mixing it with something... Smirnoff whipped cream vodka... It's fucking like a vanilla shake!

I had pickled pigs feet today out of a jar at the counter of a convenience store....thats kinda fancy right?

The red ones out of the big jar ?

Nothing like spicy guacamole with pork rinds for breakfast, talk about fancy!

I had an aunt who worked at a convenience store and I once saw a customer change his mind when my aunt went into a fit or gagging just short of a full on puke when she was trying to fish a couple of pigs feet out for him ... he told her never mind and had a sausage biscuit instead .

My aunt still gags at the slightest provocation and when I was young making her puke was my daily goal when I was around . A turnip green in my nostril worked very well .

Picture this ...
Eight of my regular bar fly queens demanding Bloody Marys
before I was set up and open on New Year's Day ,
I obliged them, 8 Bloody Marys with tampons ,
String hanging over the side of the glass for dunking ..
Barfarama...!

No Vodka wasted...all just mix
My co worker was pissed when she went looking for her tampons though !
It was all worth it.

Thought I would reply to this thread as it was inching too close to the bottom...
Y'all, I've decided to quit drinking, made a couple stupid decisions because of it, so...no more fancy White Russians...no more beers...no more rumalades...
Tis the soberlife for me! :-[
* I had quick drinking before...LMAO
-
see that was your mistake
don't drink quick
shine is for slow sippin
-
after the first couple, they do go down a little quicker :o
-
I quit drinking last night.
But I will start again at 5
-
I quit drinking last night too. I kept trying to leave the club but people kept forcing shots of jager on me. Finally made it home around midnight only to have to be to work at 4:00 am. Not a fun day so I'm celebrating this evening. First time having a bowl of icecream in like forever. :)
I'm meant to be a wino, not a hard hitting shots guys.
-
Went out for dinner with a friend for her birthday last night,
Cucumber martini , well two before dinner ,yummy !
Everything went awry when we got back to her house
and drank many slippery nipples ....
Good thing we live next door !!!

Wolf: I would have pegged you for a wino too based on what I've read in your threads...
Bubba: Merely by your name I associate a possible illegal moonshiner...LOL :-* same for Zach...LMAO :-* :-*

What if it's Jager in a box?? ;D

What if it's Jager in a box?? ;D
do they have that? :) Well, it's kinda a nutrition thingy but I flirted shamelessly with my hvac guy today. He has to return with a part that I need. He recognized that I overheard him say "I love you". He quickly told me how often his mother bothers him. :)
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

Tonight I had a three pound lobster, an ear of corn ,
And thee shots of tequila for Tony 2 s Birthday ;D

When Miss P was here in July it was all about the food … I would finish my meal before he could get his photographed and online on FB . Don’t let his food snob talk fool you, he seemed quite happy with the waffle house on our road trip.

In honor of Miss P, I'd like to point out that Ramps are in season.

I'm having some real Mexican food and drinking tequila.
I raise my glass to the one whose wit gave life to this thread. Those were the days.

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.
-
I just took my evening meds with a delicious meal. Rum and Eggnog...I think that qualifies as a meal. Sure has enough calories to be considered so.

Thank You M
Don't worry it had all the other suspect things as well.
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 !
Only thing missing was Grannys foot soaking pot to cook it in..

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. :)
-
I remember bacon fat in a coffee can next to granny's sink .
Made the best fried green tomatoes , and fried chicken... Yummm
-
My mom and brother used to take bread, spread with butter and sugar, and dip it into hot bacon grease and eat it....I'm sure it's tasty, but couldn't bring myself to indulge in it... :-X

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.
-
Only one ???
I thought they came by the bag ...LOL
-
Starting the new year off correctly.
I used my "new" kitchen (the one I got by moving in with my boyfriend) to cook up a big ol' ham, a soup pot full of black-eyed peas and a mess of collard greens. I'm expecting to be healthy and wealthy this year!

Goodness gracious, I'm fortunate that I only had 1. I forgot the after effects of those damn things. Even yet this morning. :)

Well my dear people,
I just want you to know Mr. Wumpette had nutrition Heidi style yesterday, and enjoyed his first Greek Gyro, yes...I was surprised my damnself that he had never eaten Greek. 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!
To say that that will be the last of our dining pleasure..."clutch the pearls!" Miss P.
"Hell nah!" Wumpie

Now THAT sounds like a recipe for a good time......LOL

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
(http://i.imgur.com/TC0sT0l.jpg)
-
That looks yummy !
Did you eat half the chicken before you took the picture ?
-
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
-
Zach... You would have made Miss P proud with that find.
I have never had wild ramps but I walk through the woods with my dogs and will start looking for them. The meal had my mouth watering .
I still would have asked for the other half of my little chicken...lol
-
Are ramps the same as wild onions? I guess we keep it too simple in these parts. :)
-
They have flat slender leaves , so they maybe the same.
-
yeah, wild onions, leeks, ramps.. same same. maybe some regional differences
to me it was always kind of a hillbilly thing... i'm not really sure when the foodies adopted them as cuisine
-

I took a moment to "google" and discovered that ramps are what we call wild onions. My grandma had an area on the riverbank that had massive amounts of them and she cooked with them. I thought she was just cheap and now I discover she was a gourmet chef.
-

I assumed it was a hilljack thing also. Thinking it's time we cultivate the family farm into an upscale leeky farm.

I'm going to look for some I love leek/onions.

I don't know about anyone else but I have been off the grill almost the entire
summer. Also lots fish / shellfish and fresh corn on the cob...yum :)
Happy summer it will be gone before you know it :o
-
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.

Had a buddy call me this morning asking if I wanted some peppers. He brought over a huge box full. Many different varities that I'll cute and freeze in small baggies.

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
(http://i.imgur.com/8Oy3o15.jpg)
-
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 :)
-
I wish I could show David a pic of the new White Castle veggie burger. Coming at the end of the cycle that is. A great concept but they failed.
I worked this evening after having 2 of them and was constantly running to the toilet only to discover it was gas.......but hey, as they say; you can't trust a fart at our age. :)

-
hello had set apart down at the most recent hour at the store this evening. I truly needed them, yet I decided on boneless skinless turkey bosom. A meat so tasteless I generally need to locate some fiery saucey approach to eat it. Also, I won't significantly trouble until Tuesday.

Ramps are in season now. Get em while they're fresh.

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

Oh man I miss wild ramps, and eating them by the handful!!!
I sure am ready for Spring. it wasn't a particularly bad winter in Boston, but it feels like it's been never-ending!
