While watching Every Day Food with my 2 daughters, they got freaked out
whilst she was explaining how to manipulate the chicken cavity and stuff it!
Never in a milion years did I think a cooking program would spark our "talk"
involving humans and their cavities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELP!!!! MOM OF 3 PRE&TEENS!
THANKS MARTHA!!!!!!
NuJoi My daughters saw the same episode of Everyday Food and they
made me switch channels! Something about "stuffing the cavity" freaked them out. Hello, I have to say, I was right there with them. Just the thought of having to get into a "birds and bees" kind of conversation over a chicken breast was quite unconfortable! Smear your herbs, smear away!
Happy B'Day Perky! Love, food, romance. These are all primal needs.
May you have many years of many more!!!
Are Simon Cowell and Gordon Friends? I only ask this because it seems
convenient that their shows aired back to back last night on Fox. Seems to me that Fox is reaching for the reality factor of BRAVO. Gordon and Simon seem genuine; if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen!
They also come across as the real deal. So maybe Gordon took the glitzy
road after proving himself in the restaurant business! There was Rocco
Di Spirito(have no clue how to spell his name) who attempted the same!
How annoying he was!
We are all Gordon (and Simon) fans here. God Bless Hell's Kitchen and
KN! Rock on Gordie!
DiNic's in the Reading Terminal is by far the best roast pork sandwich you will EVER have here in Philly! Or, may I say, probably anywhere! This is our Christmas Eve destination with the family: The Reading Terminal
for a aDiNic's and some great chocolate gifts from Chocolate by Mueller
and amazing sausages from Martins.
When in town, this is a foodies ultimate destination.
Steve's Prince of Steaks up in the Northeast for cheesteaks,
Zorba's for amazing no frills Greek in the Fairmount section, right down the street from Eastern State where it is rumored Willie Sutton escaped from and went down the street to The London Grill for a pint while waiting to be re-arrested!
Wherever you go, it's Philly and it's hard to go wrong!Enjoy
I was hard pressed for the better part of my 18 year marriage to find a recipe my husband liked. I finally was given one last year by a born and bred Irish woman from my kids school. It wasn't his grandmothers's, but
my man said it was the 2nd best he'd ever had.
3 Cups flour
1 Cup sugar
1 tspn salt
3 tspns baking powder
3 eggs
1.5 cups milk
1 cup raisins
Mix flour, salt and baking powder. In seperate bowl,mix sugar, eggs and
milk. Add wet to dry. Lastly add raisins.
Bake @ 400 for 20 min, then reduce the temp. to 375 for 40 min. Total baking time is about 1 hour depending on your oven.
As with all hot bread, best served with "just a touch of butter"
.
@perkymac... Thanks for the info. My sister said some kids do outgrow some things. This poor kid is also allergic to dairy,and poultry. My sis is
trying to be really creative with soy, etc.
thanks for the link. I've passed it on and let's hope it helps some.
I'm guessing you're upstate
@perkymac....That was the ultimate description of scrapple. Just enjoy it!
It's like that ........restaurant that your friends take you to. No knowledge of
anything on the menu, and you're just flying by the seat of our pants.
The poor man's foi gras.
Sit back and enjoy!
How come the American talkshow hosts seem to enjoy being "funny" and talk all kind of nonsense and act stupid when they invite Ramsay over to their show? I just watched 2 different talkshows via SE and they were pretty unbearable - the hosts i mean. Gordon Ramsay was genuinely interested in the cooking and they weren't.
I went to the store today to pick up milk etc. went to the deli counter, and yes, I asked if they had "free range" olive loaf.
I got the look I was expecting, and the comment "Free range? We don't sell stoves here in the grocery store."
I just shook my head, bought the bologna my daughter wanted and left. But not before doing a double take because as I was waiting to be served I was perusing the selection of "loaves": Olive, pickle & pimento, Dutch, Luncheon, Old Fashioned, and one other that made me stop and stare for a second: I thought it said "Pork and BEAN Loaf." It actually said "Pork and BEEF Loaf" but still, I don't think I would have been surprised to see Pork and Bean Loaf. How about you?
@SayWhat.........darlin' you come up with the very best ideas!
Mom loved olive & pimento loaf and put it in our school lunches. I hated them! I still don't care much for pimentos, but had a delicious, salty olive in a martini two years ago and now I want to snack on them!
@PerkyMac: I do hope you are feeling better from your attack of the vapors. Yes, those poor little olives and pimentos. They are better served in Martinis anyway.
I am pretty impressed by the Archer Farms chips...all the flavors I have tried have been good so far. Here in So Cal, Target tends to be less expensive than the supermarkets, but not cheaper than the Walmart Supercenter. The Choxie is good, but I wonder how much longer they will make it because it is always on clearance at my local Target stores.
You must MUST try the Zen Party mix. It is in the section with the nuts and trail mix stuff. I swear they put crack in it because myself and my coworkers have a hard time not eating it when I bring it in.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that PETA will not take up the cause of either the olives or the pimentos that are being slaughtered to ruin perfectly good free range luncheon meat, in order make loaf. Loaf is not their concern and neither are additions that are not members of the animal family.
RIP little olives and pimentos. Your romping in the field days are over.
I need to put a wet towel on my head and take to my bed now.
We have Targets, but no nearby Super Ts. I was skeptical when I saw the Archer Farms Kona coffee, but it's the best priced Kona I'll ever buy, so I picked it up.
Smooth and yummy. I'm impressed.
We have occasionally picked up the odd bits and pieces from Target, but after having noticed items past their sell by date, and bought spoiled perishables.. it's the rare dry goods that I'll buy there.
@dbcurrie - I'm not sure if just the olives are free range. I think I had pictured more the whole "loaf" cavorting you know cause once all that stuff ends up in the grinder and pressed into "loaf" shape, it's kind of hard to set the olives free. And let's not forget its cousin: pimento loaf.
So is that our assignment for the week? Go to your local deli counter and ask for "free-range olive loaf?" Cause I am just the nutcase to do it! Ask people who know me. And when I do they will probably call my DH and say "Hey Kimball, your wife is causing trouble at Kroger store 4567832A asking for weird stuff at the deli counter!"
