Free For All Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Tonight, my mom's potato & corn chowder, with some extra stuff. I cook a couple pieces of chopped bacon in the pot and then saute onions & garlic, then the potatoes go in with some chicken stock. Later I add the corn, and also asparagus, fresh shrimp, scallops, clams and some Old Bay and other seasonings (definitely some hot sauce). And some milk, of course. Served with some crusty kalamata olive bread. Yum! Thanks mom! Your son misses you! Edited February 28, 2009 by Free For All Quote
Free For All Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Slow cooked a beef roast overnight in broth, onion soup mix & seasonings, then chopped it up and put it back in the slow cooker w/some BBQ sauce. It's smelling mighty good! Will eat it on a bun w/sour pickles. Quote

catesta Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I made Texas style chili yesterday. I may have gone with a little too much heat and had to tone it down for leftovers today. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 What's your technique for toning it down? I've never been able to do so successfully. I made Texas style chili yesterday. I may have gone with a little too much heat and had to tone it down for leftovers today. Quote

I may have gone with a little too much heat and had to tone it down for leftovers today. I was going to add some tomato sauce, but the flavors were deep so I wasn't afraid to dilute it with just plain water. I then mixed some additional masa flour with a little warm water to thicken it back up. We'll see later if I was successful or not. Quote

DukeCity Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 My wife has a gift for being able to "reverse engineer" various dishes. We'll have something at a restaurant that we really dig, and she'll be able to recreate it, often to a ridiculous degree of accuracy. She did it again last night. A soup that we had at a Mexican place a while back; Chicken with a bunch of different veggies, tortilla chips "melted" in, some cilantro and a dollop of guacamole. Uncanny!!! Had leftovers tonight and it tasted even better. Quote
Free For All Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Pizza and a tossed salad. Decided to do the pizza differently tonight. Used a deep-dish pan (actually just a cake pan) and put the mozzerella on the bottom, then sausage, black olives, sauce and parmesan & seasoning. Kind of a Chicago-style attempt. It sure has a different flavor when you do it that way- the melted cheese at the bottom is great. Quote

Brownian Motion Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 I made up a recipe for an herb bread the other day. It came out great. Herb Bread 2 cups bread flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried rosemary 1/2 tsp celery seed 1 tsp black pepper 2 tbs olive oil 2 tbs brown sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp yeast At least 1 1/4 cups water, probably more. Add oil and all dry ingredients to bread machine mixing bowl. Add cup of water and begin the dough cycle. Continue to slowly add water until dough reaches proper consistency. After 20 to 30 minutes of kneading let rise for an hour, knead again for 5 minutes. Empty dough onto buttered cookie sheet, butter your hands, and shape dough into 3 or 4 small loaves. Let rise until loaves double in size. Bake at 415 for 25 minutes. Quote

catesta Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Wednesday night, I made Pollo alla Cacciatora con Melanzane served with some panelle. Last night we went out to try a little Mediterranean Tapas restaurant down the block that was having a soft grand opening. Free Sangria! Started off with a salad of goat cheese, apples, walnuts, and lettuce the guy had growing right in the back of the restaurant. He made some kind of hazelnut infused olive oil to drip over it. And for the tapas...., wood fire oven seared scallops served over a bed of some kind of dandelion that tasted like a cross between mint and basil. Also had the beef satay with peanut and a spicy dipping sauce. Last was the fingerling potatoes. Quote
catesta Posted April 26, 2009 Report Posted April 26, 2009 Salmon brushed with olive oil, seasoned with rosemary, black pepper, lemon juice and white wine. Wrapped in foil cooked for about 10 minutes. Served with julienned carrots ,zucchini, and imported piselli and mashed potatoes. Quote
