@salpico do they ship themselves? I miss real linguica and chorizo.
7 Ways to Reuse a Banana Peel
work a bannana peel into the soil of your plant especially potted for a great way to feed them
you can use the inside of a bannana peel to polish your shoes. Yes this really does work.
birthday cake for a diabetic?
I've used Emerils flourless chocolate cake with good results for diabetics. Yes chocolate has sugar, but there is very little added sugar and no flour to jump glycemic numbers. Dont forget, its not just about "sugar" carbs are even worse. However be warned, the cake I'm talking about is very heavy and rich. The good part of that is a small slice really does satisfy.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 84: Do You Ever Scare Yourself Into Eating Less?
Ed the important thing is you caught the gain before it could undo all the good you've done for yourself. You should be very proud, I know we are.
I have to admit though, I could never resist the siren call of fried clams from sea swirl in mystic. I used to work in mystic and drove back roads just to avoid that place.
Best food for a stomach ache?
I keep a small box of candied ginger in the pantry for emergencies of that nature. seems to really settle things down and the sugar gives you an energy boost. Thats for guests though for SO and I, we get the homemade stuff along with homemade gingerale ;-)
Habanero Help!
I used to dry mine in a dehydrator, just beware and listen to ranger99 gloves are a must!!!!!! I ended up blistered to mid forearm for a week by slicing hab's without gloves. Totally embarrasing when you have to call poison control to find out how to stop the pain.
What bread or cracker do YOU eat with goat cheese?
wow ya'll are so fancy with goat cheese I feel left out. :-( I usually just spread some on black pepper water crackers and add a tiny dab of fig preserves.
What's for Dinner? 08/31
homemade chicken and dumplings (feeling energetic today)
Meatloaf!
ok meatloaf is my shame,I started making a recipe SO adores and wont let me change, 1/3rd beef 1/3 chicken 1/3rd pork raosted garlic humus (8 oz) 1/2 can golden mushroom soup, about 2 tsp worshtechire sauce, palm and a half ful of dehydrated onions and thats it. I use the other half can of soup to coat the top and SO can kill one loaf per sitting. I always feel slightly ashamed when I make it, but I've even made my own "gloden gravy, but the taste isnt right, I think the canned crap has just the perfect amount of salt and goop factor.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 82: Peanut Butter Portion Control
I was never to big on pb till I started making my own, now pb is my main source of protein, peanut, almond and cashew are the best. and there is nothing like cashew butter cookies OMG totally decadent and delicious!
Ed as ever we are very proud of you, the hardest thing in the world is learing to control something you love. Big hurray!
I need help!!!!
I've poached elk kebabs in a beef/chicken stock with fresh herbs, I just wouldnt poach in water though, seems to me you want to add as much flavor as possible. and btw AB had a show he did on poaching that was very informative and he even recomends using an electric skillet, which is the was I've done it for years.
If I could eat anything right now, I'd pick _________.
If I could eat anything right now, hmmm I would love a big thick grilled steak, with fresh grilled sweet corn and lots of butter, a tomato and cucumber salad with fresh blue cheese dressing, and I huge piece of strawberry shortcake with lots of whipped cream. however since none of that is possible I"ll probably have a slice of dry toast. lol
What is your fantasy food business?
I would love to open up a take out place that sells reasonably priced "real meals" not just things like fried chicken dinners. meals with a multiple choice of many types of veggies as well as the meat and starches. Have the menu change every day, and be open for customer suggestions and requests.
Buffalo Chicken Challenge
I just made a recipe they had for an apple coffee cake actually, and its amazing stuff. Never thought I'd be a such a huge fan of a mix anything. I was talking to the owner yesterday when I went up and he said a resteraunt up in chattanoga had just ordered 100 lbs of the pancake mix this week. lol I can also vouch for their plain cornmeal (best ever cornbread!) and all their flours are outstanding as well. As if all that wasnt enough, they are really great people who love what they are doing and work very hard to do things "the right way"
Buffalo Chicken Challenge
@professor Chaos, I get mine from Falls Mill in winchester Tn and its all fresh ground and sooo good, I always made pancakes and waffles from scratch till I found this stuff. only problem I have is the amount of room it takes up in the fridge, because it has all the bran coat on everything, it has to be refrigerated.
Ravioli fillings
our current fav is garlic and onion sauteed down to mush then add some fast cooked summer squash, zucinni, and shh dont tell SO but I also add mushrooms. I dont think I've ever made a meat filled raviole, the veggie/cheese is so much more versatile.
Buffalo Chicken Challenge
I'll probably get shot for this, but I tried and actually like RR's method of using pancake mix. I use a local pancake mix (whole stone ground and very healthy) and just mix it with enough water to make a batter, then I add tobasco chipolte sauce and dip my tenders and fry. For some reason we have become addicted to them. I also take the left over batter and add chopped onion and fry into little pseuo fritter cakes I know so bad but they are sooooooo good!
Best summer dish?
fresh sliced tomatoes with a light drizzle of very old very expensive balsamic. It was perfect! The balsamic was a gift from a friend that just came back from Italy, and it was obsenely delicious.
Brown rice risotto!
the only rice I ever buy anymore is brown rice and I prefer short grain to long always as well. Brown rice rissotto is a standby at my house. I buy a big bag of rice at my local asian food mart and its perfect! why do people always think you have to buy something called rissotto rice?
Do you like your chowder: thick or thin?
Rhode Island clam chowder only (clear broth) med thin and preferably with lots of clam fritters to dunk!!!
Which is more important, great ingredients or great technique?
if i had to choose i would say great ingredients and the kiss principle (keep it simple stupid) but I think both are important you dont have to have great technique but you do need a basic skill set. and I know making bread or stock isnt basic anymore but in my world it is.
What's your favorite novelty/odd food item?
I like to make "nori sandwiches" sometimes. i put wasabi paste or hot mustard in a nori paper with a very thin slice of cheese and a little roasted garlic, roll it up and I'm in seventh heaven. I also get a craving about once a year for fritos and peanut butter, something about the salty greasy sweet just satisfies a craving. Dont judge me please ;-(
What are you? Recipe Follower or Recipe Deviant
I admit it I'm a deviant too. oh and whats a recipe? ;-)
Roasted Garlic
I'vebeen on a major garlic kick lately. I've started doing it in confit style and did up10 heads the first time, when that was gone in 4 days, I did up 20 heads, I THINK it may last the next week or so. I've convinced so that there is nothing better than a chicken salad sandwich on toast that is thickly smeared with cooked soft sweet yummy garlic. I've also been know to smoosh some on saltine crackers.
Thanksgiving Dinner: "The Letter"
Ok, do you guys have big families? I mean big families. This stuff makes sense if you have foil lids you can't stack in the refrigerator. The no serving spoons is obnoxious and hard to deal with when you got 20 kids bumrushing the fruit salad. And if you've got two turkeys and a ham in the oven there is no way Aunt Julie gets to put her uncooked casserole in oven. My mom is the oldest of seven with spouses, I have 12 cousins, so we had friends, SO's, inlaws relatives, and great relations.
When I was little it was insane . There wasn't enough room for the people let alone the food. You got assignments, specific assignments about was to be brought and how. They always wanted to make sure everybody could have some of everything. They made a special bowl of potato salad cause an uncle was "alergic".
So I'm pretty sure they got phone calls that went a lot like that letter. So I wouldn't bash her. I may print out the letter so I can use it for the next family gatering and use it like a blueprint.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
How do you get a white trash girl to suck your d**k?
Dip it in ranch dressing.
Greek Yogurt - Recommendations?
I stumbled upon this thread and wanted you all to know that Costco now sells Fage!
weird reasons for not trying certain foods?
Growing uo on a farm in KS my brother and I wouldn't eat chicken because we knew them personally.
weird reasons for not trying certain foods?
p.s.- oops I lied...when I was little I wouldn't eat the legs in calamari and other squid/octopus dishes because I thought the suckers would stick to my tongue...
weird reasons for not trying certain foods?
I know a guy who is so put off by milk that he won't eat any dairy products or anything that looks remotely dairy...his reason "it's white"
it seems in my area fish in general is just a big "ew" but I can't get anyone to give me an actual reason why they won't eat it
my father...most confusing of all...refuses to try sushi because it's raw fish yet he swears up and down it can't possibly be raw because "americans have poor immune systems and would just get sick" he fails to acknowledge his own contradiction
as for myself...maybe it's because both of my parents are immigrants or maybe it's because my dad is a chef but I can't remember ever flat out refusing to try any food...well other than anything involving bugs...I was always the kid to try anything from cat/dog treats to leaves to the glazes in art class (which pretty much all taste the same btw)
among friends I have a bit of a reputation as "a foodie" solely because I actually know what's in/goes into foods and how they're prepared...I find it alarming that other people don't know and/or don't care to know
The 20 Dishes you need to know
My personal Top 20:
1. Bacon and Potato Omelette (I'm from germany and can't live without my "Bauernfrüstück")
2. Pasta with a garlic sauce
3. Spaghetti with meatballs
4. Roasted Chicken
5. Kao Pad (I'm also half Thai, and grew up with this dish)
6. Pancakes
7. Steak
8. Pizza
9. Potato Soup
10. A good Sandwich
11. Satay Sticks
12. Mashed Potaoes
13. Meatloaf
14. Gravy
15. Thai Sausages
16. Green Cabbage and Smoked Pork Chop
17. Spareribs
18. Quesadillas
19. Burger with some Fries and Fried Onions
20. Double Mud Chocolate Cake
how to cook goat
This is an old post but I'll mention my idea .Gonna debone the lower end of the back leg trimming the large fat pockets out and marinate it in a mild marinade of olive oil, s&p wine [ lemon juice optional ] garlic and maybe greek oregano for 2-4 hrs in a zip-lock.Then lay it flat and rub salt, pepper, garlic and a few herbs on the meat . Roll it up and tie it then season the outside with the same mixture as inside NOT SKIMPING ON THE GARLIC INSIDE AND OUT. Sear it in a dutch oven then add onions, potatos, carrots and any other roots I have add veggie broth [lo-salt] and 1cup of wine [white I guess] to about 1/2 to 3/4 to top of meat . Then bring to a simmer and transfer to oven and LOW AND SLOW for about 4-6 hrs. any responses?
Top Ten Worst Halloween 'Candies'
I disagree about a lot of the candy items mentioned here.
I, for one, LOVE the fun-sized (or mini, if you prefer) candies. It's a tiny bit of something insanely tasty, enough to give pleasure without causing tummy pains. When I was a young'un and I went trick-or-treating, one house gave out mini Clark bars. Yum-o-delish! I polished those off first.
I think the chewy peanut butter kisses taste absolutely divine.
Candy corn, I think is plenty of tasty, as are the candy pumpkins made of candy-corn base. Think little dollops of hardened cake-frosting.
As for apples and raisins, those I didn't mind in the least.
However, some items, I do agree about.
Toothbrushes -- a boring reminder
Religious pamphlets -- disappointing and WEIRD to boot.
Packages of "normal" food -- oh, for crying in Manhattan, what kid wants to receive a can of baked beans or a box of oat bran in his little plastic jack-o-lantern.
One time I received cough drops -- and not the Ludens or Pine Bros or Smith Bros or F&Fs, which are tasty and could pass as hard candy (as can the Ricolas). These were nasty little green pellets that were -- and tasted like -- MEDICATION. Like I said, for crying in Manhattan! For crying in Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco
Oh well. At least I didn't get a ROCK
Top Ten Worst Halloween 'Candies'
If I didn't live in an apartment building with no kids in it I'd be giving out and full sized candy bar AND a red bull to every kid. HAHAHA!!! HALLOWEEN IS FOR KIDS! SUCK IT PARENTS!
Are we Freaks?
You know what I find much stranger than being into food? Being into fantasy basketball.
Condensed milk, ew. What to substitute?
I start eating a lot when I'm doing my college papers in my college days some time ago. And i just love to eat :)

How can you not be a Sandra fan after that. That's more entertaining than any "competition" on foodtv.

Oh you di-int!! Thanks Adam, you really took one for the team.
hot wintertime comfort drinks
Doe's anybody know what a mixed drink called a stinger has in it. I heard its very good for warming the body up.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
A Hole in One!!!! My grandfather used to make these for me when I was a very little girl, visiting him in Lancaster, PA. He was not a golfer. He was first-generation American of Swedish descent, who had grown up in Salt Lake City, Utah.
What Do You Put on Your Biscuit?
I realize this is an old topic but I had to comment. Before I fell victim to a most unpleasant allergy to tomatoes I always enjoyed tomato gravy and biscuits. Now its butter and maple syrup. I also have to agree with many of ya'll....a good plain biscuit is its own type of heaven.
Perfect picnic food
I love everything related to meat.
One of my favorites is chicken wing because it is so easy to make yet
very tasty,with good sauce it is delicacy.
I think nothing compete however good steaks

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I don't put ranch on anything! Gross tasting stuff.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
Amen "omnomnom"! (I'm from Mich, too. Same area)
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I absolutely love ranch on my pizza. Granted, I am a middle-school student (though homeschooled), and got the idea from my (middle school, homeschooled) friends after we started dipping French-Fries in Ranch (that's justified in Mich--here most of the fries are way too greasy or way too dry). We decided to try it on our pizza--and it's great. Only Hidden Valley (tm) works though. Deep dish pizza doesn't need it, fortunately. A group fave for us is cayenne pepper, fresh black pepper, ranch, and tabasco sauce. I agree, if it's good pizza, it doesn't need condiments, but (1) pizza in metro-detroit isn't that good, and (2), it doesn't matter if it needs it--if ya want it, I say put it on unashamedly!
In Gear: Flour Sack Kitchen Towels (An Old-Fashioned Staple for Modern Kitchens)
My girlfriend buys these in bulk from crafting stores and embroiders them for gifts. I received the "Happy Kitchenware" pattern, featuring dancing plates and cuddling spoons. She also found a pattern called "Tropical Babies". It's wonderfully/horrifically un-PC.
