How to Make Guacamole from Herbivoracious

Why would anyone buy pre-made guacamole in the first place? It is so easy to make and it has to be fresh. Any of Mr Bayliss's recipes are excellent.

Hot Doug's in Chicago: Good Hot Dogs and Good Neighbors in Line

Thanks for the post Ed! We were there in June from St Paul and although it was a weekday and didn't get the duck fat fries everything was fantastic.When you go to Chicago you must go to Hot Doug's, everything in your post is absolutely true.

Your unexpectedly best dish this summer

Tacos al Pastor is Nancy and my favorite thing to eat. We go to Mexico each winter and have it almost everyday. Your right the pineapple makes it. Almost gives it a sweet sour thing.

Your unexpectedly best dish this summer

The rice dish he made on his grilling show where he brings a person on to grill with. We added corn to it. I think the recipe is on the food network website.
The pork thing I made up.
Half a bunch of cilantro,3 serranos, 2 cloves garlc, 3 tomatillos, 1 small onion, juice of 2 limes, a bit of water so it blends. Mix it up and pour over a pork butt in a big zip lock bag. I let is sit overnight in the fridge of course. I grilled it on a charcoal grill so it was brown all over, about 15 minutes turning every few minutes.
Line a crock pot with corn husks put the pork in cover with more corn husks . I cooked it on low for about 8 hours. Let it cool so you can shred it. We took a small amount of the shredded pork mixed with equal amount of the rice dish. Boston lettuce leaves sliced radishes and the onions are the classic Mexican onions with vinegar water oregano and pepper.
I think that covers it.

Your unexpectedly best dish this summer

We made Mr Flay's rice with cilanro pesto and black beans and added fresh corn off the cobb. Did a pork butt in the crock pot that was lined with fresh corn husks. Pork having been marinated over night in a chili, onion cilntro, garlic and lime juice paste then charred on the grill before going in the crock pot. Shredded the pok and mixed with the rice dish and scooped into boston lettuce leaves then topped off with pickled onions and thin sliced radishes. I expected it was going to be good but it was better than that.

Favorite foods eaten at the 'wrong' temperatures?

Chipotle burritos. I can only eat half at a time anyway and the next day right out of the fridge.

Pulled pork??

I use both smoker and slow cooker. Prepare the pork butt with a nice rub and put on the smoker or grill for about 2 to three hours with your favorite wood chips. Wrap it in foil and put in the slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 more hours. You get the benefit of the smoke and the ease of not having to tend the smoker for the whole cooking time.

Favorite Brand of Salad Dressing

Lately it's been Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger. Also Hidden Valley Ranch Light. And sorry SE but the Kraft Ranch is nasty. Had to actually pour a almost full bottle down the drain.

Serious Cocktails: A Sour Subject

Margaitas are my favorite cocktail yet I rarely order them because they will use sour mix and taste terrible. Unless we are in Mexico or in Chicago at Frontera or at home using fresh lime juice I'll stick to beer.

Thanks derosa.. I was not familiar with Mr. Batalis version i'll give it a try.

I'm certainly not telling anyone how to cook. I have always mixed the whole eggs like for scrambled eggs in a lage bowl then add the cooked and drained pasta directly to the eggs while its still very hot. Start mixing together add the bacon or whatever pork you use and parmesan cheese fresh ground black pepper. The hot pasta cooks the eggs and creates the sauce at the same time.
Whatever works for you. That's why I enjoy cooking at home.

derosa if you are not using the egg yolks you're not going to get the correct consistency.

We did a dish with guanciale we got from La Quercia and got similar results to yours. Great pork flavor but too fatty to eat. We picked out the pork and ate the rest though.
Caught an episode of Lidia the other day and she made a dish with guanciale and it didn't even look like the same product we had. Hers looked like really meaty pancetta about half meat half fat. Ours looked like 95 % fat with a few streaks of meat in it.
So I guess in our case we will want to see our guanciale before we buy it next time.

Tabasco... or some other hot sauce?

I am another fan of Crystal liking it better than original Tabasco. I do use some of the other Tabasco varieties for various things especially the chipotle and jalapeno flavors.
