Serious Eats: Kimc54's Profile

From my experience, I have cut way down on eating salty snacks and cured meats (hard to do, Frito and bacon lover that I am). Now, when I occasionally eat chips or a piece of bacon, I have noticed how salty they taste to me. Guess the overload of salt had dulled my salty taste sense.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage

Rudy's, San Antonio and outlying areas. Their ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and you get a choice of brisket lean or brisket with some speck.

Next Christmas, I'm going to cook...

A crown roast of pork, but then again, I've been saying that for years....

Foodie gifts? What did you get?

I hit the jackpot - BakeWise and The Secrets of Baking - yahooo!
Also got a box of Enstrom's toffee which was a BIG disappointment - what happened to all the almonds?

Cream of Wheat: Way or No Way?

Way! Was the only hot cereal my kids would eat. Salt, butter and a little sprinkle of brown sugar did it.
PS - I love it with peanut butter melted in it and no sugar.

Know of any pets with food names?

Two cats - one named Hershey (she was a deep, chocolate brown color) and her younger brother - Nestle.
Maybe Truffle for the next one =)

Oh crap, the dog ate the....

Once had a lab who ate an entire bowl of Hershey kisses, foil and all.
He also ate a string of black cat firecrackers that had fallen down from a shelf in the closet. That had to burn coming out.

What made someone "back then" think that this would taste good?

Totally with you KT on the oysters...uggghhh.
As mentioned earlier, when I'm eating it, I wonder what made people want to eat moldy cheese, aka roquefort or blue. And what about awful smelling cheeses?? Thank goodness, my parents introduced my sisters and me to them early on, and now, in my book the stinkier, the better.
Probably need to read up on some cheese making history.

Filet Mignon vs. Skirt Steak: Which is Better?

Definitely skirt steak. Salt and pepper, grill until medium or med rare, cut thin slices across the grain, slap into a soft homemade corn tortilla with a dollop of spicy guacamole and a squeeze of lime. Doesn't come even close to a filet mignon.......
