What are you cooking today and how?

[gryffynklm]

Crash,Looks good. My wife would like the dairy free almond milk.

[1stimestar]

Aw Crash that's sweet. Looks real good too. We are all a bit sicky right now so I made some moose stew, with potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, celery, hominy, green beans, peas, lentils, dried tomatoes from my garden, and mushrooms. I think that's everything.

After a visit to the Dentist, I'm having filling friendly Pea and Ham soup. Winnie jnr is having braised Pig Cheeks.

I noticed this thread hasn't been updated in a while, so, how bout a bunch of roast beef?

I picked up the 4.18lb top round on sale for about $11. That's a lot of beef for one person! But I felt up to the challenge.

First up, your regular ol' roast beef:

I had that for a couple of dinners and lunches, and was still left with about a pound and a half, so I made Sonoran machaca (AKA "shredded beef":

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3710/11855719715_61e60e59a2_c.jpg

Basically, you crock it with some chile peppers and tomatoes until it shreds, then drain it and fry it, adding back a liquid a little at a time, until it's absorbed. It should be fairly dry, but really flavorful.

Traditionally, it was made with carne seca -- dried beef. So if you have some, maybe give this recipe a whirl.

Some of that went into breakfast (that's artichoke leaf ribs on the bottom):

I was still left with maybe an ounce or two, so I put it on pizza. (no pics)

White sauce is being prepared at home and while mixing the fried onions, garlic and mushroom with the pasta…I added some mushroom soup and it gave a very yummy and a perfect taste to the pasta. served it with garlic cheese bread with some mustard saunce on it.

I meant to post this this weekend but time got away from me. I made corn bread and lazy peach/pear cobbler. I got in a hurry and forgot to add the salt and baking powder to the cornbread but it still turned out really good, moist and sweet!

I was so excited to eat the cobbler I forgot to take pics! I made the cornbread in my size 12 camp oven and stacked my 8qt kitchen oven on top. This was the first time successfully using my two dutch ovens stacked. ( the one on tip is actually a kitchen dutch oven)

[grrlscout]

Finally harvested something from the new garden - two wee little squash blossoms. They made for some nice sausage and cheese rellenos though.

Thanks! I stuffed them with chopped up bratwurst, shredded sharp cheddar, a lil mayo, and some ancho chile. They're dredged in flour and then egg.

[LowKey]

GS, or anyone, can you give a step by step on cooking squash flowers? I haven't been able to make anything out of them that remotely resembles anything I want to eat. And I eat everything. I'm sure it's a simple thing to dredge em and fry em. But I can't make them palatable. And I have a LOT of squash flowers right now. LOL

[grrlscout]

wash them and pluck out the stamina. I like to stuff them with cheese - especially goat cheese.

a good trick is to put them in the freezer for a few minutes while the oil heats up. It should be pretty dang hot but not smoking hot.

You can do a tempura batter - I like to use flour, cornstarch, and club soda. Or just egg. Or in this case, I did flour, and then I used egg and milk.

Pop em in the oil and keep rolling them around until golden brown

Yesterday, for lunch, I had the best BLT in the history of BLT's!
The 'mater was fresh off the vine, and the bacon was some that I cured and smoked myself. That was some good eats!!!:chef:

I'll assume that a sample has been sent to quality control as well as the minister of science just to make certain it's safe.

I like the salmon over quinoa. Healthy and gooder than hell!

Unfortunately, I made 4 portions, and now I'm sick and tired of it! I wonder if it freezes well.

[2dumb2kwit]

I didn't send any samples, but I did send one of the quality control guys a picture of the bacon as it came out of the smoker, to let him know what he was missing. hahaha

By the way....I didn't use pork belly. I used a Boston butt. (The cut of pig....not the quality control guy, that I sent the picture to.) LOL

[2dumb2kwit]

If any one is interested in making this kind of bacon, I highly recommend that you make some. It's extremely easy and taste really good! It was dry cured in the fridge, and smoked on my kettle grill.

Just finished some of the best Salmon Cakes with Cauliflower/Sweet Potato Puree.

The Salmon Cake Recipe.
The recipe doesn't specify, so we used Sockeye Salmon (made a half batch of this):

1-1/4 pounds of salmon after skinning (When processing the salmon it is OK to have some pieces that are larger than 1/4". It is important to avoid overprocessing the fish.

3 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (we used light mayo)
4 teaspoons lemon juice (we went a bit heavier on the lemon juice)
1 scallion, sliced thin
1 small shallot, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1-1/4 pounds skinless salmon fillet cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1. Combine 3 tablespoons panko, parsley, mayo, lemon juice, scallion, shallot, mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne in bowl. Working in 3 batches, pulse salmon in food processor untill coarsely chopped into 1/4 inch pieces, about 2 pulses, transferring each batch to bowl with panko mixture. Gently mix until uniformly combined.

2. Place remaining 3/4 cup panko in pie plate. Using 1/3 cup measure, scoop level amount of salmon mixture and transfer to baking sheet; repeat to make 8 cakes. Carefully coat each cake in bread crumbs, gently patting into disk measuring 2-3/4 inches in diameter and 1 inch high. Return coated cakes to baking sheet.

3. Heat oil in 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon cakes in skillet and cook without moving until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip cakes and cook until second side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer cakes to paper towel lined plate to drain 1 minute. Serve.

This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated magazine, July & August 2011. It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[Batch]

I had something called a limerick sandwich at Maguires Hill for lunch yesterday. I had a bowl of their potato soup also. It was great.

Grilled Limerick Sandwich
Irish bacon, cheddar cheese, onion and tomato on our own special bread. You can ad a fried egg for .50 more.

So, this morning I made one with American Bacon. Fried the egg in butter while I sliced the red onion. Only had microwave bacon. Buttered the bread. I put the sliced red onion on the bottom peice of bread, then American cheese, then bacon, then the egg, another slice of cheese, and the bread. Tossed the whole concoction in the frying pan till it was golden brown. Wish I had some fresh tomatoes though. That would have made it POP!

If you make this keep your fingers out the way when your eating and don't put none of it on your head. Cause your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get to it!

Olathe Corn

Oh…my..…gawd

This time of year I sit down to an orgasmic feast of Olathe corn on the cob.

This corn, this sweet tricolor corn, comes from a bit west of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

http://i.imgur.com/B4E4WjQ.jpg

It’s my entree.

Actually it’s my Japanese tea ceremony.


The Presenting of;

Enormous ceremonial platter of the polymer
Knife of the butter
Sweet tea of the carafe
Butter of the bovine
Salt of the clumsy girl with the umbrella
Napkin of the middle drawer


Sit

Contemplate

Wait....

For the water of the tap to boil

Contemplate noise of the stomach

Wait

Contem-effing-plate

The preliminary wiping of the drool

The discussion of the ways of the Olathe festival (those bastards of the womb) while waiting

The presenting of the two ears
(or the way of the tongs)…ears ceremoniously laid on the platter of the polymer with the tongs of the lower drawer by the submissive obedient woman of the children


The way of the butter


The rolling of the ears of the corn like the wringer of the washer until the mystery of the disappearance of the butter of the bovine occurs

The discussion of the way of more butter

The shaking of the shaker of salt ceremony follows


The way of the Royal typewriter is enacted

Considering of the way of the wolf arises when
the biting of the own finger of the hand ritual is sometimes interjected into the ceremony of the grunt of the hog

The customary sacrament of the swollen lips and tongue of the mouth of the face begins from the TOO EFFING HOT!! observance, enhanced by the sudden inhale and involuntary lodging of the kernel of the corn in the esophagus of the throat ritual.

The burying of the tongue and lips of the mouth in the carafe of the tea formality ensues


Followed by the inevitable way of the buttered beard of the face

The laying on of the hands and smearing on of the butter of the bovine to the face of the laughing/pointing, now running/screaming woman of the children ritual commences


Culmination of the ceremony is the audible passage of the birth of the walrus, followed by the raising of the one leg demonstration of way of the duck.

Ending with the slumber of the warthog.

[Tokwan]

My recipe has always been very simple....I fry or stir fry what ever I eat with just butter and black pepper....no salt, no sugar no whatever...just plain butter and black pepper...its either chiken with buuetr and black pepper, beef with butter and black pepper..or fish with pepper and black pepper.,.so does my stir firen mixed vegies and eggs...hehehe...Of course I have them with rice or bread...

[Batch]

My sauerkraut is amazing. The best I have ever had.

The bacon could use someone who could slice thinner. I either end up with a very small thin slice or a wedge shaped thin slice, or a thick slice like a thin ham steak. so, I am buying a meat slicer. LOL

I just used my phone and the picks can't do justice. But, the sky was amazing when I finished the smoking. My orb weaver was just starting her web. She is a most beautiful spider.

I tried to get her in the video. But, it was too dark.


http://vid4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/bigcypress/20140816_200711_zps8daa9455.mp4

Here she is tonight. I know most won't care about a little 4 spotted orb weaver. This spider has accommodated the family since she moved in. LOL Actually we are probably a few generations in. The first one rode the ATV's out to big cypress. Then her off spring built a web nightly over the back patio. We evicted her and she built a web over the front gate. Now, she makes a web between the Live Oak and a palm.

[sjj]

Off topic - any thoughts on the newer electric flat top stoves?

[tundrabadger]

We bought a flattop a couple of years back. I have no complaints.....it cooks my food, which is really what I look for in a stove, and is fairly easy to keep clean, which is a major bonus. Now, ours has three sizes of burners, two small ones in the back, plus one large one, and one truly enormous one, which is pretty good for a stock pot or a steamer, but serious overkill for saucepans, kettles and most skillets.

never buy appliances full price, there's always a sale on something somewhere.

[NVRDONE]

My smoker is all confused today. On one side is a leg of lamb with lemon, garlic, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. And on the other is some squirell seasoned easy and roasting away.

[tundrabadger]

Well, that is a well rounded smoker!

[LowKey]

Glass top stoves or flat tops won't take the weight of a fully loaded pressure canner nor a hot water bath canner.
Also, any type of speckleware or enamelware has a good chance of welding itself to the glass top. Enamel is glass. Stove top is glass.
I use a wire spacer when I use my speckleware lobster pot. We have a regular coil electric stovetop in the back room where I do my canning. Just the stove top. No oven. I bought a propane tripod stove for the pressure canner and do that thing outside. Too long a boil in the hot weather. Sometimes do the lobsta out there too.

Today I made spaghetti sauce. It's been a really good year for Roma tomatoes. I only have 6 plants but have put up maybe 8 quarts of tomato sauce, plus some we just ate when it was done. Might get another couple quarts before frost. One more batch starting to ripen out there. I pre-peel and seed my tomatoes. I don't have a food mill. Dip em in boiling water for about 30 seconds, drop them in cold water and the skins slip right off. The trick with tomato sauce so it doesn't get all watery is to put maybe half a dozen tomatoes in the sauce pan and get them good and bubbly. Then add the rest a few scoops at a time and let them come to a simmer between additions. Works like a charm if you have the time. Threw in some chopped garden onions, some fresh basil, a few onion tops, chives, a squashed garlic clove and some cracked black pepper.

Between simmerings I was stripping corn kernels off the cobs for frozen sweet corn. Boiled them the night before when it was cooler and did them cold. About 2 dozen ears will give you about 6 pints. I have one of these things https://www.lehmans.com/p-4260-corn-stripper.aspx but I don't use their nail method - too messy. I use a really BIG stainless bowl, the one I use to salt 8 pounds of bread and butter pickles over ice and set the ear down into the bowl so all the kernels are caught. It's really fast, but the ears have to be pretty big. No skinny little noodly ones. I only do two dozen at a time. It gets old fast.
Nothing better than sweet corn in the middle of winter!

[crashdive123]

We use mostly cast iron in the kitchen, so a flat top would not work for us.

[tundrabadger]

Just want to throw this out there...I've got an enameled dutch oven and a couple of cast iron skillets that I use on the flat top regularly. I don't want to know what would happen if I dropped them from a decent height, but they haven't caused any problems. They've gotten a lot sturdier since they first came out.

[sjj]

Thanks for the info folks.

[Adventure Wolf]

The local Kroger had a nice soup bone for sale, it looked like it came from a porterhouse. I'm going to boil it in a pot to make broth, strain it to remove the undesirables and then use it to make soup with potatoes, carrots and onions.

[Awanita]

:chef:The wife and I put on a pork tenderloin on the rotisserie and kept it glazed with the jalapeno pepper jelly we put up this year. We had fresh corn on the cob, homemade loaf bread, mashed potatoes and gravy opened a jar of this year’s chow chow. Then we sat down and made fools of ourselves, should have worn a bigger pair of pants to the table lol.
We also like to do a simple caramel cream cheese pie.
2 sticks of cream cheese
1 can of condensed milk
1 graham cracker pie crust.
Boil condensed milk in can, in boiling water for about 2 hours. Then mix caramel from the cooked milk with the cream cheese. Add to pie crust and chill. It is so good.

One would assume you poked a hole in that condensed milk first. :gimp:

Couple weeks at Malaekahana, alternating at different camp sites until my max time was up. Speared around Diamondhead, Waikiki beach, electric beach, Kaimana, Makapu'u. That was my first real spearfishing experience. Didn't know what the heck I was doing. Mostly just small manini and goatfish. Looking back at what I was shooting, this video is embarrassing LOL!

I've come close to moving there several times, and probably still will at some point for 6 months- year while I go to school. Right as I was about to make a move on it, I got a dog, and didn't realize the extremely strict quarantine conditions and cost of bringing her over. So that kind of messed it up.

Cooked some up and cleaned them. Made sushi. Extremely time consuming not only doing the cooking and cleaning, but then having to separate the meat without eating it just to start making rolls. But delicious.

I made some hard tack. I had always wanted to try it and just got a wild hair. So, I am going to make a couple of dishes out of hard tack and fat back. I have a mess of turnip greens I am going to make a dish tomorrow.

[Rick]

I made hardtack last week. Got a bunch in the pantry.

[wilderness medic]

Do you guys use it for camping/hiking, or just to keep stored?

[Rick]

Yes....all of the above.

I took some fresh collard greens and boiled them for a few minutes while I fried some salt pork in my skillet. Once the diced salt pork had cooked good. I added the dice pork to the greens and let that simmer for a few minutes. Usually, I will add sausage to my greens I cook in the field. But, I only had cheddar brats or pepperoni. I slice up some pepperoni and thew it in the cast iron skillet with the oil from the pork After I heated the pepperoni for a minute, I drained the greens and added them to the hot skillet.

I stirred the everything together in the skillet for a couple of minutes on a med heat.

Turned out really good with the smokey flavor from the salt pork.

[Adventure Wolf]

Decided to do something simple tonight. Spaghetti with sauce and cut up Italian sausages. Tossed salad was my side.

[Rollicks]

Red beans and rice, with boiled bacon jerky. Yum. Crash that's a really cool set up you got there.

We are celebrating Thanksgiving this week-end so I spent the day baking pies. Two pumpkin, one each of cherry, lemon and chocolate.

Only five? So you're making everybody else bake their own?

They look scrumptious.

[BornthatWay]

Your pies look delicious, Rick.

[Batch]

I boiled some fresh collards and scrambled 3 eggs with 3 tablespoons of milk and a 1/2 a pinch of salt and a little fresh ground pepper. I out a table spoon of butter in my cast iron skillet and added the eggs and then the drained greens.

While I was letting the eggs rest on the plate and finish cooking. I added a little more butter and threw some sliced squash, zucchini, and onion in the skillet. Browned nicely and poured right out over the eggs. Cracked a little more pepper and added some hot sauce tore it up. Good stuff!

[Adventure Wolf]

Tonight I made a pizza I assembled from premade parts from the store. I like them slightly more then I like the ones that come frozen.

Today is "plum pudding" baking day. Not UK plum pudding. More of a German thing my mom used to make.
Cherries and raisins have been soaking in bourbon since last weekend.
Cake mix takes 1.5lb of butter, and a dozen eggs, among other things like flour, pecans and nutmeg, including 2 more cups of bourbon, and gets mixed in the extra-extra-large stainless bowl.
Takes about 4 hours to cook the larger loaves, about two for the smaller.
It's cooling on the racks now. Later tonight, once cool, it gets wrapped in bourbon soaked cheesecloth, wrapped in saran wrap then wrapped in tinfoil and put in the bottom drawer of the fridge until Christmas.
Served warm or cold, with or without bourbon hard sauce.
Killer.
(It is NOT fruitcake. This stuff is darn near flammable and doesn't have that nasty citron in it.)
The house smells like a combination brewery/bakery today.
And you know one of these must be sacrificed today, unfinished, but with hard sauce. Quality control is a must you know.

Today, I'll be cooking baby back ribs. I searched the internet for recipes on this and chose the one that I think will taste the best. I can't wait to see how this will turn out. I've been craving for this since last week.

Just polished off 3 bowls of Elk fixed in the crockpot! This is the first time I've had elk, Dad got a cow elk in NM this year.

[LowKey]

Made a batch of split pea soup today using smoked hambones and a bacon-end from the local slaughterhouse (their in-house smoked, thick sliced bacon is phenomenal too!) This is the slaughterhouse that burned down last spring. They've rebuilt and just re-opened in time for the holidays. Excellent!

[MrFixIt]

Country style ribs, lightly seasoned with home made rub, cooked over an open hickory fire on the tripod grill.
And of course the wifey will cook the obligatory collards and black eyed peas.

A chocolate chip muffin in a usgi canteen cup, just put a base layer of small rocks in the bottom of the cup, make a tinfoil pouch , put the muffin mix in and set the pouch on the rocks in the cup and cover the cup with tinfoil. Don't forget to oil the pouch. Let it cook until golden brown. Yum

Slow braised Beef short ribs. Oh my, were they good. Winnie jnr is turning into quite a cook.

[tundrabadger]

Today I'm cooking my wife's favourite dish. Chicken with apples. You brown an onion in some butter or margarine, then add sliced chicken breast and green apples to pan. Well, any apple you want really, but it's best if they are a bit tart. Brings acidity to an otherwise fairly sweet dish. get those about halfway cooked, then drizzle some maple syrup over the top...a few tablespoons will do the job. Add a little mustard powder, maybe some ginger, and continue cooking until it's done. Also works with honey, but I like putting syrup in things, and my wife prefers it that way. Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Great meal for cold weather. Puts heart in you.

[crashdive123]

Salmon pinwheels stuffed with crab meat and steamed broccoli.

[tundrabadger]

Accidentally vegan pumpkin soup.....the recipe calls for cream, which I don't have, so I'm using coconut milk. Should be pretty good. And cornbread. Probably making it in a skillet, but I might do corn muffins instead. See how I feel when I get to that point. Simple, but just the thing for a winter night. Plus, I have a pumpkin that wants eating up.

[Adventure Wolf]

Hamburgers on the grill.

[tundrabadger]

Some kind of italian bread...I don't know what kind specifically, I copied the recipe in to my book as "italian bread recipe that doesn't assume I own a 300 dollar mixer", but it's pretty good. And doesn't assume I own an expensive stand mixer. Also bowtie pasta with a ground chicken sauce, and salad to be determined later.

[Rick]

I've made a lot of bread and never used a mixer. Bread is about the easiest thing in the world to make. It just takes a long time letting it rise a couple of times.

[tundrabadger]

I've made a lot of bread and never used a mixer. Bread is about the easiest thing in the world to make. It just takes a long time letting it rise a couple of times.

See, that's the weird thing...before I found this one, I tried an italian bread recipe that said to use a mixer, which I don't have. So i figured "eh, it's bread"....but it just kind of didn't work. I mean, I wound up with bread at the end, but it wasn't right. Like it took extra measures to make it come together. Which is weird for me, because I bake a lot of bread too. First thing I learned how to bake.


on another topic - hey, medic? Now I want sushi. I hope you're happy.

[Rick]

I wouldn't hand mix a bread that calls for a mixer. There is some fairly exact chemistry going on in bread making with the starches and proteins. I would find a recipe for hand mixing. That's me though.

[tundrabadger]

And that, rick, is exactly what I did the next time I felt like making italian bread. hence recording it as a recipe that doesn't require a mixer in my recipe book. you don't need to tell me there's exact chemistry going on, I discovered that. Not entirely sure why you would want to cook bread using a mixer in general. It seems like it would be kind of like using a bread machine recipe, but without the convenience.

We had leftovers from last night's roast chicken (with stuffing, green beans and broccoli) with some tinned new potatoes and frozen cauliflower sauteed together and served with gravy. I made a risotto for tomorrow so it's ready whenever we're hungry (chicken and stock from last night's roast, some mushrooms and a bit of frozen spinach).

I had 10 medium sized shrimp and a yellow bell pepper, steamed, no fats or oils. Bleh, but I've lost 8 lbs so far!

Thanks. Breakfast this morning (and I normally skip breakfast) an apple.

[roxanwright]

I think I'm going to do some sort of chicken stir fry as we have lots of vegetables in the fridge I need to use up. Hopefully, there's a sachet of sauce somewhere in the cupboards to liven it up with. And chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

Looks like the mail service messed up again. I didn't receive my invitation. What time is dinner? I prefer milk with the cookies.

Chicken thighs in a Knorr Primavera sauce. It's made quite a lot of sauce, along with the chicken juices, so I'll make a veg soup using the leftover sauce. ^Those pics are making me hungry!

Have a 5 pound pork shoulder in the oven due to an insane craving for pulled pork BBQ.

The crave also includes the clear vinegar BBQ sauce I grew up with back in TN/NC, so I had to make up a batch of BBQ sauce, since no one in NKY knows what I am talking about.

These people may be in KY but they cook like Yankees!

[hayshaker]

oh i forgot the cup of cider vinegar

[kyratshooter]

That there recipe was conjured up by someone that never saw NC!!

The old folks in NC would never have ketchup in their sauce and most of them never heard of Worcestershire sauce!

What I made up is a clear to dark vinegar sauce with only a hint of brown sugar and a good kick of cayenne pepper.

You have to boil it to blend everything and then let it rest for 48 hours.

[hayshaker]

it,s a good sauce none the less and even better with sorgum. but then that,s my personal opinion.

[DSJohnson]

KY,
I was sure shocked the first time I ordered some BarBQ when I was stationed at Damnneck. I had never heard of puttin' vinegar in the sauce. Or soaking the meat in the sauce before you cooked it for that matter. Live and learn, live and learn. Kind'a like the first time I eat "on the beach" in the Philippines, but that is a different story.

[Rick]

I add the cider vinegar in the recipe for you.

[Rick]

I must confess that I cheat horribly when it comes to BBQ sauce. I have yet to find anything I like better than Sweet Baby Rays.

[hayshaker]

i,ve done a mustard mop a mayo mop kansas city and memphis. it,s all one,s taste
heck this could turn into the BBQ Wars.pulled pork or beef brisket, hmm i,ll go with the pulled pork thank you.

oh rick you mentioned sweet baby rays that,s so,side chicago iv,e eatin in a few places there cause i,ve live there.
a lot of those lil, mom&pops joints turn out the best bbq you,ll find in the city they still slow cook the meat out back
in the yard just to walk by and smell OH MY.

[tundrabadger]

scalloped potatoes....I greased a pan, and layered it with 1/4 inch slices of potato, plus some diced onion, and thin slices of smoked arctic char. then I made a sauce....2 tablespoons butter, two of potato starch, because I can't use flour for this particular meal, milk and cheese. Poured half of it over the potatoes and such, and then I added another layer of potato and smoked arctic char, which I topped with the rest of the sauce. Baked it at 350 for an hour.


It's waiting for the rest of the meal to be ready now, I tried a bit and it was pretty good. If I do this again I might make more sauce, because I feel like it could benefit from that. Or just ask my sister for our granmother's recipe, which I don't think used cheese. It would work just as well with smoked trout or salmon, or probably thin sliced ham or lean bacon, if you like that sort of thing. I just used the char because I had a nice piece a buddy gave me as a thank you for letting him use our basement while he was in town for a while.

[RangerXanatos]

Made some walnut beer bread then went outside and started a fire using the bow drill. In my dutch oven I fried up some diced potatoes, onions and jalapenos. Added a can of chili beans and a can of chili and called it good. Too bad I'm the only one here to enjoy it.

I still can't quite get to my smoker. Well I can get to it, but can't get the lower door open yet. Still iced in. The only grass I can see is the small patch over the septic tank cover. LOL.

Doing the Easter dinner today
The bread is rising, still gotta boil the pumpkin for pie and thinking about peeling apples for the roast duck. Probably do carrots for a veg. Managed to score a bottle of Farnums Hard Cider last weekend. Hard to do this time of year.

[hayshaker]

low key just throw a big bag of salt over the ice and let it set.

[LowKey]

Nah, can't do that. Might kill the dandelions in my lawn. Spring forage.
Next weekend it'll be freed up enough to use.
Looking forward to a batch of ribs to burn it off on Saturday.
Bought a cut up whole lamb last weekend (40-pounder on the hook) and have a couple boned pepper and garlic roasts waiting in the freezer too.
Usually I can use my grill and smoker all winter but not with 8feet of snow in February alone.
Had bought a new grill to replace the one that got smushed by the roof ice and have been entertaining the neighbors as they drive by, me out there cooking out in the driveway in the snow and sleet and rain the last couple weeks. LOL.

[LowKey]

Easter dinner.
Conventional yeast bread and some sourdough crackers from the sourdough pour-off. The starter is in the jar.
Usually I do two loaves of rosemary sourdough on the weekends but it's an overnight ferment and I forgot to mix it up last night.

And roast duck with apple/raisin/cinnamon stuffing, carrots and pumpkin pudding (was gonna do pie but wimped out on the crust making.)

All the kids and grand-kids came over for a late breakfast. I made biscuits and sausage gravy, cheesy hash brown potatoes, scrambled eggs, little smokeys, and bacon. Then off to the mother-in-laws for ham, turkey and taco salad, potato casserole, deviled eggs, broccoli salad, 3 bean salad, string bean casserole and what not. Then to my daughter's for roast goat, ox tail stew, king crab and lobster.

We got home a half hour ago. I asked the wife what's for dinner. ;) I'd have a plate of left over biscuits and sausage gravy. But, if your from the south you know you better off asking for some Easter bunny than left over biscuits and sausage gravy!

[tundrabadger]

My dad and his wife are in town for a a few days, she has a conference. So I'm barbecuing! chicken breasts were on sale, so I got a big pack of those. Would have prefered thighs, but I buy whatever meat is cheapest and adapt my plans accordingly. I was going to use saucem but instead I'm doing a rub, ingredients still to be determined. I've made a sweet potato salad to go with

5 sweet potatoes, chopped and boiled
1/3 cup or so mayo...use more for regular potatoes, I used sweet potatoes because....sweet potatoes. Also my stepmother has gone paleo, and for some reason sweet potatoes are okay, but regular potatoes aren;t. Mayo probably isn't either, but there isn't that much
1 clove garlic, minced (I used a big one, because while I've heard the phrase "too much garlic", I don't fully comprehend it)
1/2 tsp mustard powder
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 apple, chopped up.

it's got zip!

Also marinating some red pepper in a little balsamic, going to grill that too, and if I can actually convince myself to leave the house, there's a good brewery near here, and I've got an empty growler.

should be a good feed.

Shot with .22 revolver because it was friendly I did not need a rifle (his name was Thumper, friend of Bambi), then used a knife to cut its throat (sometimes they flop over in shock with a minor injury, poorly placed neck shot, then few minutes later run off, so I always run over put boot/knee on head and cut throat and hang to let bleed out, my personal preference for all game.)

I removed entrails and fur almost immediately (fur in hot Texas summer is useless, falls apart), these come out/off very easily when warm, cut fur around head and feet (or completely remove) and pull off fur, this is about as easy or easier than a catfish. Not necessary, but I cut up into hams, shoulders, inside and outside back-straps so it will cook faster and completely to reduce chance of muscle parasites. Also threw away/bury organs which have most parasites, but these are great for fishing or baiting traps, taste good but very important to cook very well. Flank and rib meet is also good but I had about 16 oz + bone which was more than I needed and no ice chest (I don’t like car camping much.)

10778
Lay meat out on wax/butcher paper to save on cleanup
10779
10780
Cooked it looks about same but quinoa swells up some

Used meat tenderizer (has salt), garlic, and dried basil (there was not any rosemary or sage near me). Grilled (braised) on bottom of Dutch oven both sides to brown the meat and add flavor. Then added fresh, raw carrots (don’t need refrigeration), quinoa, 10 oz can of Ro-Tel, refilled with water (did not have Chicken broth, which would have been better). Slow cooked on medium heat for about an hour, with wood/coals on top and bottom. It was good, not overly gamey. Tastes much better than grocery store chicken. Time for a nap in hammock.

Instead of quinoa, I also like rice: brown, regular or instant, or sweet potato, Idaho, new potatoes, instant potatoes, many other root crops that do not require refrigeration (wild smilax), many different noodles fast or slow cooking. Many different types of tomatoes, tomatillo and chilly peppers canned, dried or fresh. I like mustard greens or spinach but these do not last long without an ice chest so better if you can find tips of greenbriar or something similar to add green (cover all the chakras). I am not big fan of cheese or dairy but many forms of powdered for that that do not required refrig. Many herbs and spices, I like dried onions, hot or mild peppers, pre-mix in small craft store Ziploc bags cut corner and sprinkle on meat etc., Knorr Pasta and Rice Sides have paper bags already mixed and ready to go just rip open dump in pot add water mix and cook, just add your wild game or meat you brought from grocery store. I rarely use Mountain House or Backpackers Pantry etc., unless camping in area were burn ban prevents me from using wood in my tiny wood stove, i.e. must carry in all my fuel.

BTW I keep small dutch oven stashed by hut/cabin on private ranch land so I don't need to carry it in every time but I can cook this just fine in an aluminum or Titanium 1 liter/quart pot as well but not as easy to slow cook without cast iron.

[BENESSE]

TMI in the first paragraph. Thumper, friend of Bambi? Really? How's that germane to the recipe...unless it's your idea of injecting some humor to cooking.
I guess it DOES take all kinds...

Winnie left two cakes in the bear proof container up there at Cumberland Gap. I found them after everyone was gone but the Natertot family.

Not wishing for anything to go to waste I sent one cake home with Nate and took the other, I believe it was apple, home with me.

I put that thing in the freezer and ate one piece a month for the next six months just to keep spreading the memory of how good it tasted!

Sorry you can not return Winnie, we need another good hurricane!

It keeps the excitement level up.

[Davidlastink]

My Slowcooked "Dry" stew. ( dry because I add no extra liquid)

Add in carmalized onions, peppers, small red potatoes (1/4'rd). Season and brown Beef (although pork and even chicken drumsticks work) and then add and mix in. leave on low and cook for 6+ hours, the longer you cook the more the meat falls apart, had one batch become a very thick meaty gravy like dish after about 12 hours.

You can add a can o' tomater sauce if you want, and sugar at the end. I have set and forget this recipe many a times just have to know your cooker as it can scorth near the top. I tend to mix every two hours or so if I'm home.

[tundrabadger]

Had a week and change of those scary "we don't have much in the house, and how can we combine what we have into something edible?" meals. Now that we have ingredients, I'm making a proper meal. I've got chicken thighs that I just put in the slowcooker...I love my slowcooker. Largely for the way it cooks chicken thighs. I've got them in there with plenty of garlic, honey, sesame oil, ginger and onion powder, and a little vegetable stock. I'm making sweet potatoes to go with, and some oat bread, plus a green salad of some kind. Should make for a good feed.

[Adventure Wolf]

So tonight I made soup out of some soup bones I bought from the local butcher, potatoes, beans, cabbage, carrots, and onions. It was good, and easy to make in a hurry. For a side I baked some biscuits and made corn on the cob.

[Tami/TX]

On Friday, I picked up a whole frozen chicken (on sale). Put into the other half's beer cooler. Yesterday, I started up the grill (the 1/2 barrel type) with mesquite wood. I then headed to the garden. Picked herbs, sunchokes and some small onions. Then went and rounded up the previously home harvested garlic and bigger onions and some bought carrots (mine bolted and turned woody FAST this year, but alas, we just planted more) and potatoes. Grabbed up the cast iron chicken fryer. STUFFED the chicken with the herbs (Rosemary, Thyme & Oregano), small onions and garlic and settled it into the dry fryer. Put in onions, carrots, potatoes & sunchokes and covered with an inverted cast iron skillet. Set into the grill and lowered the lid (fire was on one side, dinner on the other). Kept the grill between 300 & 400 F.

Tonight........ Chicken Enchilada Casserole out of left over chicken, to be cooked in the SOLAR oven should cloud cover leave.

Sunday? Chicken soup.

And the two of us will have a lot still left!

[hunter63]

Sounds good,
Best part of chicken ...or turkey.......Is the homemade soup with what's left.

Kinda wish some times DW would just skip the big meal....go straight to the soup.

Yes..... The soup can be yummy! Sadly, we are clouded over, no solar oven...... Instead, using home made charcoal to do dinner. Yes, I have means of cooking with propane and electric, but prefer to use and practice other ways!

Grilled chicken on a toasted pita with lettuce and tomato.

[tundrabadger]

Today I'm roasting a chicken... I just plain don't feel like dealing with my roasting pan, which I only have the one, and it's better suited for a big turkey dinner than a little roast chicken for the two of us, so I'm going to use a cast iron skillet and an aluminum foil tent, which makes for a pretty good chicken anyhow. I'm going to use a little amchur powder so it will be tender, haven't settled on seasonings yet, but I'm feeling like ginger, and maybe some turmeric just for the heck of it.


making some challah to go with, because why not, probably mashed potatoes, and some kind of vegetable side to be determined...maybe I'll just roast some carrots with the chicken.

[Fixit]

Tonight is fresh collard greens with hog jowl,potatoes and cornmeal dumplings .

I cooked a half ham last weekend and have been eating from that for the entire week.

Last night I threw the bone into the slow cooker with a pound of pintos, a big onion and a couple of garlic cloves. Had beans for Sunday dinner.

I have another big batch to do tomorrow night as well.

[tundrabadger]

Sometimes the whole "buy what's one sale" thing can work out to create something pretty cool. In our most recent trips to the grocery store, tinned salmon, avocados and sweet potatoes have all been on a good sale, and here I am on a sunday, with this avocado that was dirt cheap but wants eating up. So I'm throwing together a batch of my basic white bread.....it's a nice, plain downhome recipe, and after 22 years, I've got it pretty much down pat. (Fun fact, when I was 10 and we first moved north, store bought bread was prohibitively expensive, and unlike most people, my mother wasn't happy just eating bannock or buying a bread machine. She was however perfectly content to teach me how to bake, and then tell me that making our bread was my job.) When that's done, I'm going to crack open a tin of salmon, and mix it with some mashed avocado, which should work out kind of like mayo in a regular salmon salad, but more avocadoey, and a little pepper and lemon juice. Use that with my bread to make some sandwiches, served with a side of sweet potato homefries and a salad, and it ought to be a meal worth eating.

[kyratshooter]

I just over-did it!

I woke late this morning and just finished breakfast after sitting and consuming half a pot of coffee.

I made a big omelet with diced potatoes, peppers and onions and two cheeses.

And there was bacon.

I think I covered all the major food groups for breakfast so I am good for the day.

[tundrabadger]

Yet another episode of "TB loves his crock pot" today...it's cold, it's rainy, and it's either leftovers or bologna sandwiches for lunch at work tomorrow, so conditions are ripe a really substantial dinner. So I've got a whole bunch of chicken thighs in the crock pot with some broth, some grated onion, paprika and gravy powder, which should make for a nice thick stew kind of a situation. I've got some rustic white bread on the rise...the recipe is literally called that, it isn't my fault. To go with as well I got one of those odd purple cauliflowers off the "reduced for quick sale" shelf at the grocery store. it wants eating up before it either melts or discovers fire, so I'm roasting it, and I will quite probably make some mashed potatoes because apparently I love starch. Who knew?

[WalkingTree]

A thread for what I'm cooking today? How funny. Just got finished with some cooking - my 'survival staple to last for about 2 weeks in one shot' batch.

Can't say what it's called though. I never try to make a certain dish or type of food, and I never use any recipe. I just cook. Pick things for vitamins and protein and carb, or whatever...and some herbs and spices and blah blah blah. And the next time, I'll do something different again. Every time is a half-experiment. I almost never make the same exact thing twice. (even the measurements below I had to guess at or figure out afterwards in order to post it here.)

Today was ground beef - 2.25 lbs. (93%/7%) probably should've gotten 90%/10-%.
3 Red bell peppers diced, with the seeds.
About 2 1/2 cups red cabbage 'diced'.
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes (thought they was diced, didn't want crushed).
Large macaroni (yuck) to soak up water (never drain (waste) anything) - 24 oz.
About 30 soft corn tortillas, cut up into 1-inch squares.
Garlic - the 'wet' keep in refrigerator kind - 1 tablespoon ? (all I had left)
Dry pico de gallo mix - 2 tablespoons ?
Black pepper - 1 tablespoon ?
Some liquid hickory smoke - Wright's (actual, and only, smoke)

Mixed dry macaroni with tomatoes in sauce pan, put stove on very-low, and stirred occasionally.
Knead together by hand beef, pico de gallo, black pepper, smoke, and garlic.
Some sesame seed oil in baking pan, beef in pan, no cover, broil (top element) in oven on low until beef about 2/3 done.
Red cabbage and red bell peppers on top of beef, cover with foil, set 370 degrees (now bottom element), timer for about 20 minutes.
When done, empty beef into big mixing bowl(s), drain/separate all liquid and add to tomatoes (if I use macaroni I try to make them very under-done (too much macaroni versus the water) so after it sits in everything else when I'm done, it doesn't get mushy.)
Corn tortilla pieces in same pan, broil on low, taking out and stirring every 5 or 10 minutes, until they get a very slight 'tan', but not crisp at all.
Mix everything together in big mixing bowls, then put in smaller containers to go in fridge.
For a primary daily meal in addition to anything else I'll occasionally have, scoop some out and heat in toaster oven uncovered (no, not a microwave). Yum.

[madmax]

Steamed yellow squash and onions. Stir fried chicken and zucchini. Chocolate cookies.

So Mrs Badger, and I'm choosing to call her at the moment is on a liquid diet for the next six weeks. But I still have to eat....now, I'm generally the cook, so that isn't the problem. The challenge is not cooking anything that she likes, because I love her and I don't want her to be more upset than necessary. Hence today's dinner, which I am chooising to call the sandwich of the damned.

Creamed tuna and frozen peas on toast. Which is easy as hell (another challenge is that cooking for one is *really uninteresting*, and I don't want to devote much time to it), and surprisingly good. You just have to make a roux, yeah? Flour and butter in a sauce pan, mix them together over medium heat, add milk, whisk til thickened, toss in a can of flaked tuna and what I think was 3/4 of a cup of peas...which you should really pre cook in the microwave. pinch of mustard, little garlic powder, salt and pepper. let it cool a tetch before making your sandwich. Could have been improved with some green onions, but I didn't have any.

[kyratshooter]

I cook for one every meal. It just means I eat leftovers a lot.

I had fried salmon cakes and lima beans tonight. I was not very inspired.

That is what I will have tomorrow night too.

[randyt]

I thought you had bannock.

One of my favorites is pinto beans and corn cakes. I make my corn cakes from 50/50 wheat flour and corn meal with a egg, water and a bit of baking powder. I mix it loose and make a corn flapjack in a frying pan. A little fresh chopped onion on the beans and I'm ready to go.

[tundrabadger]

Who was that for?

[randyt]

[kyratshooter]

Man shall not live by bread alone.

Got to have some beans, tatters and meat now and then.

I still have 3/4 of a dutch oven full of bannock in the fridge. French toast in the morning! Sandwiches for lunch and buttered bannock with the pinto beans I have in the slow cooker and the left over salmon for supper.

[Batch]

I made something for Breakfast Sunday that my family liked.

Took canned country biscuits (you can make your own). Put that in the bottom of a greased casserole dish cut in little squares like 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Then 1lb Jimmy Dean's sausage cooked and spread on top of the dough. Then 6 eggs set up for scramble with milk and what not just like you like them. Pour that mix over the sausage and dough. Then some shredded cheddar. Then some country gravy on top.

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. My daughter says she needs more gravy to put on top and some would cut back on the eggs a little. But, real tasty just as it was.

Broccoli, carrots and mashed cauliflower too.

Pretty much what we had the other day. The best part.........meatloaf sammiches with the left overs.

[kyratshooter]

One of my late wife's favorite meals was left over meat loaf sandwiches on toasted bread with spiced, baked potato wedges.

When the boys were in the Marine Corps we developed a tradition that on their arrival home on leave or from deployments the first meal they got was meat loaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans.

I have been forced to drop the potatoes from the menu, but the meat loaf is as good as it ever was.

[madmax]

Man I haven't had a meatloaf sandwich in years. That's on the list for this summer. We won't have elec. so I'll have to learn to bake it in a DO. No problem.

I'm eating left over shrimp etouffee right now.
