wings, beer, football
Cook the Book: 'The Occasional Vegetarian'
sauteed broccoli, crispy garlic, tossed with penne, pine nuts, olive oil and topped with parm.
Giveaway: Frank Sinatra's New Best of the Best Album and DVD
Strangers in the Night Doobeedoobeedoo! (Summer Wind is a close second).
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife
I love my Japanese Yanagi Knife. I use fir sushi of course and smoked salmon. It's insanely sharp and beautiful.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Filet Mignon Roast from Pat LaFrieda Meats
Ribeye or short ribs - both nice and fatty, both beefy mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: The Sriracha Lover's Ultimate Gift Pack
Mixed with mayo and roasted red peppers for a quick sauce for crab cakes.
Vessel for no-knead bread? Christmas list
I use a 3.5 qt. cheapy dutch oven I bought at Meijer with a drawer pull for the handle. I like the smaller dutch oven because the loaf rises up instead of out giving a taller loaf, which I like more for sandwiches. I always preheat (following Lahey). The Dutch oven is of cours a multi-takser.
Having said all that, I think as long as you have a lage enough container with a lid to trap steam for a crispy crust, you'll be OK.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
My first homemade bacon hot and smokey straight from the Webber. Sticky, salty, sweet and porky - OMG! It was one of finest food moments in my life.
Do You Spike Your Eggnog? With What?
Bourbon (Meyers Rum or Brandy in a pinch) with a fresh shaving of nutmeg.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Quercia's Cured Meat Experience
straight or with mellon. wrapped around asparagus is about the only way I will eat asparagus - but the the proscioutto to asparagus ratio must be very high!
Cook the Book: 'Cooking Without Borders'
I'm on the fence.
Survey: What Topping Combination Repulses You the Most?
Any combo that starts with mushrooms is a no go for me. Do like Pinapple and ham. Worst I've seen is the Tuna Pizza - Water packed Tuna blended with Mayonnaise, Pickles, Onions, Celery, Tomatoes & Mozzarella Cheese that is served at local place that otherwise makes a decent pie. Mexican pizzas have always been pretty disgusting in my book. Second the revulsion to dessert pies.
Preserved: Tomato Jam
OK, I made some a few months back. It's wonderful stuff, but aside from biscuits, what do I do with it?
Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Old Overholt Rye
I fond it a bit thin and lifeless. Does not make the best Manhattan. I'll stick with Beam Rye if I'm drinking on the cheap.
The Cider Press: 3 Michigan Cideries You Should Know
We just had a bottle of the Tandem Cider Smackintosh a a few nights ago. It is so bright and appley - it tastes like that first bite of a fresh picked macintosh -Autumn in a bottle! I'll second on the Perry from Uncle John's as well - nice.
SE Staff Picks: What's Your Favorite Taco Filling?
Easily Carnita's with a big squeeze of lime, cilantro, salsa and a wee bit of crema.
Cook the Book: 'The Japanese Grill'
Lamb chops, burgers and quite a bit of fish. Just got a Weber smoker, so that may get a littel more attenion for a while.
Sauced: Chimichurri Sauce
I love Chimichurri. Like a previous poster, I favor Sherry vinegar. I just made some for some lamb chops and added a bit of mint and subed cilantro for oregano - wonderful.
Father's Day Giveaway: Win a Two-Pound Cowboy Chop
A well marble Ribeye.
Can you explain the Success of Little Debbie snacks?
I can only speak to one LD snack and that is the supremely sinful Oatmeal cream pies. I litterally could go to town on a whole box. They are now forbidden in the pantry :(
Our Favorite Fried Chicken in America
I Third the Bon Ton in KY. Worth the wait! Spicy, crispy and perfect
