Where do you put condiment sauce on your burger.
I always cut my burgers in half...I usually only eat half.

Serious Eats, duh! :D
The family that eats together...What's for dinner 10/25 Sunday??
My darling hubby cooked tonight! It doesn't happen often! He baked chicken leg quarters in BBQ sauce, roasted some broccoli and cauliflower and made his specialty box (deluxe) mac and cheese. His mother always made the box stuff, he never had homemade mac and cheese til he met me...I've tried to teach him, but he likes the box every now and then. Everything was delicious!
Where do you put condiment sauce on your burger.
I love to dip my burgers! I put a light coating of mayo on the top bun, then dip the burger in ketchup as I go. And I have to have mayo and ketchup on the side to dip my fries in.
The Cooking Channel to replace Fine Living
Taste is my favorite cooking series of all time. (Good Eats is a very close second) I loved how he focused on one ingredient and actually educated *gasp* us pretty thoroughly on it. I miss that show so bad!
Give some lovin' to your oven! Dinner Thursday 10/8?
@ec_washington, it was! The pork took on a nice sweet flavor from the brine. Chorizo tacos sound good to me!
Dinner Tonight: Enchiladas Especiales Tacuba Style
I think these will be tomorrow night's dinner, but with leftover pork from tonight!
What's your favorite food when drunk?
White freakin' Castle! Heaven when drunk. I also like greasy, fried foods, things you can dip in ketchup, pancakes, bready things. We have a place down here open only in the summer season that has amazing wings and is open 24 hours, so that gets a lot of drunken trips too!
Give some lovin' to your oven! Dinner Thursday 10/8?
I'm roasting apple cider-brined pork tenderloins, with an apple cider pan sauce, Brussels sprouts, cous cous and and probably a salad.
Gadgets: Progressive International Folding Mandoline Slicer
I have a Benriner and love it. It's plastic and freestanding, sharp as anything and dangerous as heck (lol). Cost about 25 bucks and I can plow through 5lbs of potatoes for a gratin in just a couple of minutes...makes beautiful julienne too.
I also have the Oxo mandoline, a big bulky job and it SUCKS. 80 bucks and it just doesn't seem sharp enough...it's almost impossible to push a potato through. The concept is great, but execution is terrible.
What's for dinner tonight? 10/7
Chicken cacciatore over orrichete (sp?). It was oooooh so good, the hubby had three bowls!
Eric Ripert's Fish Burger with Saffron Aioli
*sigh* I have such a crush on him! lol
le bernardin recipe search
I just checked his book, On The Line, and it wasn't in there. Try his website at www.aveceric.com maybe you can email him if it's not on there!
What's for dinner tonight - 9/30
Sausage and roasted pepper fritatta, roasted asparagus and home fried potatoes. So yummy!!
Dinner Tonight: Baked Ziti
Maybe not cholesterol friendly, but oh so yummy! :D
Dinner Tonight: Baked Ziti
I'm making this tonight. I browned a couple of hot Italian sausages out of their casings and sauteed some diced onions before I added the garlic and tomatoes. I used crushed tomatoes instead of the whole, seems to have worked well. The taste that I've had of it is quite delicious, I think this will be my go-to baked ziti method from now on! It's definitely not too much liquid, it cooks up nice and al dente...just be sure to stir often, as the macaroni gets stuck to the bottom of the skillet (I didn't use non-stick).

Woohoo Chiff! Congrats! I'm actually going to have to go buy a copy...now I know what to do with my lovely little farmer's market potatoes!
Entertainment Chef Milt Drewer's YouTube Video, Rachael Ray
@blankplate, that's exactly what he did. lol
Fries: Coated or Naked as the Day They Were Cut?
No coatings! Blech! I will send fries back and ask for a different side if they're coated.
Salted fries...love all shapes...sometimes ketchup, sometimes mayo, sometimes malt vinegar, sometimes chili, cheese and ranch dressing (bestill my clogged arteries), but nothing is better than fresh fries from the frites trucks in Belguim. They come with mayo or this white cheese sauce (to die for) in a little paper boat and a plastic pick thingy to eat them with. I'd go back to Belgium right now just for these if I could!

I'm an Aussie who misses weekly Sunday lamb roasts (so much more expensive over here and more of a hunt to get the right quality). However, when I do cook up a lamb roast I am 100% for simplicity - garlic and rosemary and lots of roasted veggies in the same pan to absorb the juices. I also like some simple jus or gravy from the juices at the end.
Cook the Book: 'How to Roast a Lamb'
I used to make candied ginger and use the syrup for ginger ale. Then we made ground lamb patties with chopped candied ginger and mint leaves mixed in one night. Mmm...gotta do that again.
