Pizza from SPACE?!

Bolillo rolls

Yes, I've made 'em. I made a modification myself and used lard for the fat. After searching many recipes and how to's, mine turned out to be a really good final roll(s).
No mention of the glaze, though. Maybe it was on the end of the recipes I put together?
As in, maybe I didn't pay that much attention? That happens a lot with me, or so I've been told.

I really need to make 'em again. Those suckers are good!

Oh. PS- I went to YouTube (?) to find the correct way to roll and get the pointy ends.

Why am I having a déjà vu.....

Rubbing alcohol scotch

Pre-cooked bacon: Where's the fat gone?

Candles. For the obsessed.

That's all I've got.

Best Kept Secret Steak

Sorry about that. In my defense, I'm stuck with the longest gotam train in east Texas, ever. And on my phone. Let's try this really nice site.

Best Kept Secret Steak

Well, I screwed up. Be right back.

Best Kept Secret Steak

Favorite Kitchen/Food Smell...

" I will go outside just to walk back in and say "WOW" "

That has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Thanks for the laugh!!

Inventor of Fish Sticks Died

Yeah, yeah....peaCe.

Inventor of Fish Sticks Died

RestInPease. So, he's the man that gave parents the easy cheap "kids meal" consisting of fish sticks, mac 'n cheese(yes, that blue box), and canned green beans?

I'm glad my mother never heard of this when I was a youngin'.

The guy will buy and eat 'em when I'm out of town. Yuk! He also laughs at my looks of disgust when I find a bag in the freezer.

Favorite Kitchen/Food Smell...

Easy. Sautéing onion and garlic in butter. The guy has actually asked me what's for dinner with my skillet full of good smells, and I honestly didn't know. I had some shrimp in the freezer so I ran cold water over to thaw and chopped up some herbs. Added more butter and pour over pasta!

Oh, I love the smell of fresh banana bread drenched in butter. I made two loaves this past weekend. And it's gone.

A Big Big Bag of Spinach

DoubleJ, I was thinking ItalianWeddingSoup till MrNick fixed that lil' discrepancy. I now have a new soup to put on my list for next fall.

GoldenPalate, I had a girlfriend(with husband) walk in the kitchen thinking I was making pesto. No, I was pulverizing spinach with olive oil, garlic, shallots, and vinegar to mix in with potato gnocchi I had made. By machine. I know, but it was soooo good. They brought the red snapper and lump crab.

And we eat Chinese TakeOut tonight.......


A Big Big Bag of Spinach

I'm such a pig when it comes to any greens. I'm sure many have heard this story before, so skip it if you wanna. I grew up thinking I hated spinach. My mother would buy GreenGiant(?) creamed spinach for my sister and step-father, and green bean almondine for me and her. ???? Yes, SHE hated spinach, not me, too! But my mother used me as a pawn. Can you imagine a parent doing that ? Ok, I hear you parents laughing.

I'm growing lots in my garden at my Dads place. Simple brown butter with both onion and garlic grated in.

I'm loving everyone's ideas and will use them later for my Dad.

Cheetos Pasta...experiment success.

Laugh. I ate the last of the bag of Cheetos last night for dinner. Along with the burnt cookie dough topping from the boxed brownie mix(I left the broil setting on the toaster oven, again). We thought our Bentley(elderly pup) was dying.

Again, MrNick makes me smile. And we think Bentley just wanted to be hand fed after I gave the lil' shit a bath.

god I love me some Cheetos. Only the fried ones, though.

For those Chinese cuisine lovers-Chow Fun or Chow Mein Noodles?

Yeah, Berzerkeley (and ALL )TheNoodleGuy is only trying to drive traffic from here to his lil' blog.

Quite shameful.....tsk,tsk,tsk.

But, hey NoodleGuy, you can always write a check to SE for AD promotion.....

For those Chinese cuisine lovers-Chow Fun or Chow Mein Noodles?

According to my Birth Certificate, I is a Ms. Now, for the actual "Boo" the bird, it could possibly be a he. My precious white dove has never laid an egg in 6-7 years. Hmmmmm.

Honestly, there's a great lady that usually pulls this info for new posters. I'm a newbie at it. But, I guess you figured that out. Right? Right?

Help a student out :D Take a survey!

Help a student out :D Take a survey!

Yeah, " you knew I was a snake when you picked me up." Google that, Gina.

I have a soft spot for youngin's, so I hope others will help out before SE pulls (I kinda hope they don't) your post.

I'm tired after getting up to let the pups out. This my best for now....

You ask 'please answer some questions about an anti-aphid spray currently in development'.

Which one are you talking about?

Then you ask ' what is the difference between natural, and organic?' You also throw in non-toxic.

Your next link.....

Ok, Gina. You don't list your region. Plus it seems awfully late in the year for this type of research. If I were you, I'd check Agriculture Departments all over the US. Maybe Washington state, down to Southern California, or Arizona. Then hit up North Dakota or Minnesota down to Texas or Louisiana. Finish off with maybe Maine down to South Florida.

Good luck, my young friend. It would nice to hear how your research turns out.

PS- I kinda melt when I see a ladybug on my Turks Cap.

Premium White Rum

Geez, it always cost me ++$25++ for just Bacardi, and Malibu Coconut with diet Coke. And later mix Malibu coconut rum and pineapple juice, and a few cherries.

I miss Will Gordon. HE would understand.

Tipping from a server's point of view.

Whoa, deja vu. I knew I had just read something along the same lines.....
http://mobile.seriouseats.com/talk/2013/04/tipping-my-latest-conundrum.html

I have hit upon many places like this. If I'm getting take out at the counter, $2 in the jar. If it's an order/and pay at the front and they (he/she) brings my lunch/dinner to my/our table and handles refills and basically *waits* the table, 15%..+ if they trip my shit being nice. No *Waits* on table, 1$. My friends are on their own, but usually follow my lead.

I have learned over the past years that if you are nice to them, and treat them with the respect they DESERVE, you will always have a ever so happy dining experience.

I'm also the one that hates buying coffee (and only does so while traveling), and will bring my own along with my insulated water jug. I feel as if I pass these monies along to those who are deserving.

PS- My happy ass has never, ever, stepped foot in a Starbucks!

Storing Knives

Magnetic strip here, too. Like Klseiverd, tilted on the outside of my cabinet. May be I have a fear of someone seeing the dam things and using on me. My mother had her strip on the righthand side of the kitchen window over the sink from the 60's thru the 80's.

What is that block I've seen that has the dark quicksand looking stuff?

I don't worry about blocks, as I'm OCD in my kitchen. My cheapO's do time there. You know, for the guy when I'm far, far, away......

PS- CloroxCleanUp is really my best friend. Shhhhhh!

How do you like your potato salad?

I've made this all my life.
Fry up a pound of smoked bacon. Chop up and reserve fat.
Boil eggs, slosh in pot to crack under cold water. Add ice if needed.
Boil chopped red potatoes.
Chop up Claussen pickles, small white onion, and a bunch of green onions.
Mix Sour Cream, Mayo, and squirts of yellow, spicy, Dijon mustard with other ingredients. Including at least half the bacon fat. Lots of fresh cracked pepper. I always salt the potato water, so check after.

When potatoes are done (firm but cooked) mix all together while still hot/warm.

Must be made the day before. I couldn't stress this fact enough.

Pork Blood Popsicles?

Control of counterfeit foods

SE, why are you allowing these spammers?

I need a kid friendly French dish?

My little friend (12) in the neighborhood and I talked about her French class. I think it's her 3rd class. I suggested that we (my guidance) make a French dish that we could cook the night before and take to school in my crock pot. I'm thinking about the recipe for preserved lemon chicken that I just love. I'll find it and link back. There's only 7 kids in her class.

Any other Serious ideas?

Furnishing a New Kitchen

My father just bought a house. I will be stocking the kitchen and have found myself overwhelmed. I also have Sunday's ads everywhere!!
Does anyone know of an online printout that lists possible needs?
I've got maybe 4-5 weeks before he returns from Canada. This will be his winter home.

Where is BitchinFixin's

SE, I'll understand if you pull this. But, she is missing and I'm aware of the earthquakes around about Modena, Italy. I believe her uncle is Onepercent. I would be so happy to hear all is well, for her and her husband. And, her parents in Oregon.

I really enjoyed her food thoughts from Italy.

Anyone ever cook with lemon leaves?

I'm wanting to make the Spicy Shrimp Soup that Nick Kindelsperger posted in April, and the guy is having trouble finding lemongrass. However, I have a lemon tree with very fragrant leaves.

The recipe calls for 4 stalks of lemongrass. And yes, I always have lemons.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Pomfret Help!!!!

Well I purchased a whole, uncleaned frozen pomfret at my Asian market on a whim and now I gotta figure out how to cook this thing and I want to find out if there are going to be a ton... More

Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup with Lime and Ginger

The end result is a soup that's as fortifying as the best chicken noodle, but with a bit of kick from its sour/sweet/pungent flavor profile. With nothing but a single burner, a chicken, and a few vegetables, you can pull together a good soup in about an hour. The first key is to make extracting flavor and gelatin from the chicken bones as easy as possible. This means chopping the carcass into very fine pieces. More

Chocolate Pudding Pie in a Samoas Cookie Crust

To truly maximize how many Samoas you can stuff into your mouth in one serving, you've simply got to crush them up and form them into a cookie pie crust. Using the same method as making a graham cracker crust, the Samoas cookie crust is the definition of decadence: sticky, crispy, and caramelly, it gets even crazier when you fill it with a rich, creamy chocolate pudding filling studded with extra coconut, and top it off with a billowy cloud of whipped cream.

How to Make Fresh Pasta

This primer from expert pasta-making chef Anna Klinger of Al Di La in Brooklyn can help get you started or put you back on track, and inspire you to make this recipe for casunsiei (beet and ricotta ravioli).
