Food Thread: Animal Rights And Hangover Remedies [CBD]
From commenter "Top.Man" comes an exposition on that which plagues the amateur drinker. Professionals like most of us around here know exactly when to stop....right? Hair of the Dog: The Magnificent Bastards
1 oz. brandy
1/2 oz. Rose's lime juice cordial
2 dashes Angostura bitters
4 oz. chilled ginger beer Shake all EXCEPT the ginger beer with ice cubes. Stir in the ginger beer. Pour into a tall glass, garnish with mint (spank your mint first to release the oils). There may actually be something beneficial in this recipe, as some studies suggest that ginger is effective in reducing nausea. Shepheard's was burned by mobs during the 1952 coup that deposed King Farouk. Joe was imprisoned, briefly, on suspicion of being a spy (he wasn't) and then released and exiled. His subsequent journey took him through most of Europe and to various places in the West Indies, ultimately landing at the Marco Polo Club in Manhattan in 1960 where he came up with these variations as alternative hangover cures. The amount of booze is (roughly) the same as in the Suffering Bastard, the differences are the addition of other spirits. Dying Bastard 1/2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. brandy
1/2 oz. bourbon
1/2 oz. Rose's lime juice cordial
2 dashes Angostura bitters
4 oz. chilled ginger beer Dead Bastard 1/2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. brandy
1/2 oz. bourbon
1/2 oz. light Puerto Rican rum (Cruzan or Coruba)
1/2 oz. Rose's lime juice cordial
2 dashes Angostura bitters
4 oz. chilled ginger beer Same prep and garnish as above. Hit Ace's Amazon link and order a copy of Jeff "Beachbum" Berry's Potions Of The Caribbean for more about Joe, the origin of the drink and much, much more. This is a must-have book for anyone interested in the history of craft cocktails. Happy New Year!
• 1.25 tablespoon baking powder
• 1.25 teaspoon salt
• 3.3 ounces sugar
• 1/4 pound unsalted butter cut into the smallest pieces you can manage.
• 1 cup buttermilk or cream (cream is better, but slightly more fattening)
• 1 egg
• 1 pint fresh blueberries (or currents or raspberries or....) dusted in flour and then frozen. (if using raspberries, cut them in half or thirds before dusting with flour and freezing) Toss the blueberries with a bit of flour and then freeze them for a few hours. This will prevent them from breaking up when you mix them into the batter, and the end result will be whole berries distributed through the scones rather than blueberry mush in blue scones. If you use raspberries, cut them into smaller pieces before you dust them with flour and freeze them. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the butter pieces to the flour mixture, and using a pastry blender or your hands (stick them under cold water and then dry them carefully), break up the butter until it resembles sand or small crumbs (A food processor will do a great job). In another bowl, whisk the cream and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Add the frozen blueberries and mix just to incorporate, do not overwork the dough. This is messy, sticky dough. I have found that the best method for portioning is to use a large ice cream scoop. Drop the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet, trying to keep them as tall as possible. This recipe will make eight large scones, but tailor the size to your preference. Sprinkle granulated sugar on them for a nice color and added crispiness. Bake for at least 25-30 minutes or so until tinged with brown. If you make smaller scones they will bake more quickly, so adjust the time accordingly.

Make you own vanilla, 1cup of vodka and 4 -6 vanilla beans and that's it for quality virtually unlimited, soak for a few weeks before using but the longer it sits afterwards the better. Each ingredient can be added as needed down the road.

That kind of testing is indefensible. And not used as much as in the past.
I remember in college having to deliver papers to one of profs who was working in the animal research lab. I walked into a room where they kept the rats. Thousands of them lining the walls of the room in cages. It was something to see....

Now these birds who don't know how to live out in the wild will either starve to death, be killed and eaten by foxes, coyotes, cats, birds of prey or squashed on the roads. Thanks for saving them from a humane end so they can have a possibly bloodier end.

found a new recipe for lamb I'm going to try
Gascony Roast Leg of Lamb with Anchovies and Garlic
Gigot d'agneau en Gasconnade, avec de l'Ail et des Anchois
Instead of just making slits and stuffing the lamb with garlic slivers, the recipe continues to make slits for stuffing anchovies in oil. (Then salt and pepper).
Once the potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic and thyme are roasted under the rack holding the lamb, deglaze the pan with 2 cups dry red wine (whisked with flour), they mash any reserved anchovies into the pan, simmer a few, and serve on the side with the platter of sliced lamb and veggies.
The recipe uses a bone-in leg of lamb. I only have a deboned one at the moment, but may try it with that one, as I have the anchovies in the house.

And the son has the knack of picking out the most expensive thing on the menu. Someone said at church "So are you taking him to Taco Bell? Kids like fast food." I said it would be must cheaper if we could bring him there. The two fast food places he likes are "Five Guys burgers" or Chik-Fil-A and there's no CFA around here

Oh. My. Goodness.
First, really easy to use (and clean). Second, amazing results. Just some salt (no pepper - youngest hates it) and a couple lemon slices. It helps that I already own (and use) a vacuum sealer, but I imagine one could improvise if necessary. The salmon came out perfectly cooked, moist, flavorful, just fantastic.
Downside: it was *not* inexpensive (although MUCH less than for dedicated machines). Wife bought the BlueTooth version, which was on sale, and the app (download from the iTunes store) worked very well. The site has a bunch of recipes and a community forum, but I just used one I found on the Net.
Highly recommend, and major kudos to the morn/ette what recommended it.

As far as the Pioneer Woman, she has a line of lovely products at Walmart. On Thanksgiving morning I needed knives and Walmart was the only thing open, so no Henckels or Wusthof for me. I had never heard of her but picked up a set of her knives, and color me shocked at the quality.

I once worked at an egg ranch. It's the kind of thing they would have
used in a documentary against factory farms. Two hens to a very small
cage. They gave them just enough calcium for the eggs to have hard
shells. When you changed out the houses, it wasn't uncommon for you to
break the chickens leg. Then they were shipped off to make soup. [...]
Posted by: Notsothoreau at January 03, 2016 04:26 PM (Lqy/e)
I dated a lady who worked as a lab tech purifying anti-bodies from hens' eggs. The owner would buy battery chickens about to be butchered and house them. Generally he doubled their living space and fed them up as well as he could since he had to inoculate them to produce anti-bodies, and the longer they did that the more they were worth. He couldn't let them run free since he had to be able to identify which chicken produced which eggs with which antibodies, but he pointed out that they are really stupid to begin with, they always lived in a space the size of a 5 gallon bucket, and they weren't really flexible in how they lived. He said he pretty much had to buy from one local company since the other company used a different watering system, and the chickens from that place would die of thirst because they couldn't figure out how to drink from his waterers.I prefer home raised eggs. But I realize there is a premium cost for that for a reason.

Last night, we made the most fatty fat fat food...
Poutine
I had made a Pot Roast a bit ago, and reserved the broth that it cooked in and turned the broth into the the thick gravy used in poutines. I strained it to remove the chunks of onion, carrots and celery, then added a few flavors typical of some poutine gravies (Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, etc) and thickened it.
I had prepped the potatoes for fries, and soaked them in the fridge all day before drying and double frying to crisp.
We didn't have the typical cheese curds used in poutines, but we had that sticky mozzarella that comes in a ball form which I shredded and added just a touch of Monterey Jack and Cheddar for some flavor bursts.
Poutine
1 - fries
2 - layer of cheese
3 - steaming hot gravy to melt the cheese
oh my
First time I tried making my own, and it turned out amazing.
It's fun when you have leftover something and make it into a completely different type of food.
I had made a lot of pot roast the day I made it, and we shredded some of it one night for nachos, and another for burritos/soft tacos. Fabulous. You just have to tweak spices.
My husband said he probably gained 5-10 pounds while he was home. haha

War: SA vs. Iran -- who wins?
Iran has no air force of any value (and the Saudis have spent many coins on F-15s, F-16s and mercenary pilots), and they can't easily get major ground forces (tanks, large artillery) to the SA peninsula, so an air or ground war is unlikely in the near term.
Terrorism: SA vs. Iran -- who wins?
Iranian-backed operators took over the Kaaba in Mecca many years ago, and SA had to call in French paratroopers to handle the situation. I foresee another attempt, with large numbers of "pilgrims" (and servants, oil field workers, etc.) suddenly "rising up" in many places in SA, particularly Mecca, Jiddah, Medina Riyadh and the oil fields), swamping the Saudi police.
Yes, I'm looking real carefully at oil stocks.

SA has better equipment (state of the art American/European export versions) but they're Arabs. Arabs don't do maintenance, it's beneath them. So it's contracted to their Filipino/Indonesian guest workers. When the Iranian Scuds start dropping on the maintenance depots, they'll quit and leave for home unless the Saudis start throwing cash at them in combat bonuses.
Personally, I think the Saudis are fucked if Iran gets froggy and the US doesn't intervene.

Question, can you freeze precooked bacon for crumbles? Not that we
usually leave extra bacon but for things like salads or baked potatoesI
might be willing to spare a tad bit.
Posted by: FCF at January 03, 2016 04:06 PM (kejii)
Yup. Or you can buy pre-crumbled bacon and keep it in the freezer.

My new kitchen gadget, which should arrive in a few days, is a Breville Fast-Slow Pro 6 qt pressure cooker/slow cooker. I had been thinking of getting a pressure cooker when I was living a high altitude, then shelved the idea when we moved to the low lands... but I'm doing a lot of one pot meals these days. This one was recommended by the Serious Eats person. It's a fully automated multi-cooker. You can sear in it, too, as well as pressure or slow cooking. I'll let you know how I like it.

Y-not I've had one for a few weeks, and it's amazing. Now, I haven't put it through all its paces yet, but the fact that it's totally automatic and releases pressure on its own is a new ballgame. My old electric PC/multi-cooker has been semi-retired to the farm.

Thank you very much....it is my pleasure!
And the beans question is a good one, which I cannot answer.
I guess some of the carbohydrate in the beans could break down in the high heat to simpler sugars, and maybe some of the oils could evaporate.
But those are just guesses.
Make a pot of beans and tell us!

Cool! I'm excited about it.
A few years ago I nearly burned the house down with a (defective) multi-cooker/slow-cooker (but not pressure cooker). I'd gotten it b/c it had the sear option, which so few do. But after that bad experience, I'd given up on finding what I wanted until I learned about this.
Posted by: Y-not (@moxiemom) at January 03, 2016 05:00 PM (t5zYU)
my dad wanted to ranch cattle, so my mother indulged him. We started with four angus cows, and ended up with 150. Why 150 you ask? Because my dad was no kind a rancher. He was mid wife to every calf born on the ranch, named them all, raised not a few in the house because mama couldn't/wouldn't feed them, and had a bull that would run across the fields to get his head scratched. He loved those cows like they were his pets-which they were. But I dare any PETA scum to say they were ill-treated, or raised in a poor situation. They weren't. And most of the ranchers we knew were similarly careful with their herds. So I get kinda testy when these animal rightists jerks scream that animals are more deserving of rights that unborn children. Strangely, when you ask them if they are pro aborts when they scream about veganism, they tend to shut up. Or just resort to primal screams.
On a completely different note, for chili: onions, garlic, a bit of green pepper sauteed until tender in a mix of olive oil and butter. Brown ground beef in the vegetable mix, then add chili powder (3-4 tablespoons), 1 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp each of cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper. Stir together, then add 8 oz of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat so that it simmers for 20-30 minutes. If you have some masa, mix 2 tablespoons with 1/4 cup warm water and stir in. Add drained pinto, kidney or black beans (or all three, I've done that a few times) stir, simmer for 5 more minutes, then serve with rice, corn chips, cheese and beer.
Enjoy

I'm going to throw this request out there early in the thread - hoping I get plenty of responses (hint, hint, artisinal):
Its getting cold, finally. I am in the mood for chilli. Who has the best "recipe?"
I have most of the ingredients, I think.
(Like many, i never make stuff like chilli or sgetti sauce the same twice. It's always a little different)
Posted by: Chi at January 03, 2016 04:30 PM (gQfxF)
I don't really do "chili" per se, but I'll take ground beef, chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, and cook them in EVOO with powdered garlic and a blend of california, hot new mexico, and pasilla chili powder, along with cayenne pepper, powdered chili de arbol, and powdered paprika -- with a dash of chipotle if I'm feeling adventuresome. Cover a tortilla with it when cooked, top with cheese.....
Anyway, having a variety of available chili powders allows you to vary the flavor to suit your mood. Pasilla is very earthy and "comfort-food" like, to suit a cold evening; paprika is slightly sweet; the trio of HNM, cayenne, and chili de arbol give a little heat -- good if you're drinking beer.

I second the water recommendation. Back when I was in college I sometimes drank to excess (To Excess! *clink*) and ended up puking and/or hungover.
Since then I either learned my limits or developed a tolerance; probably a little of both. I can't remember the last time I got sick from drinking. Nowadays I drink a tall glass of water before going to bed and another one when I get up, and I usually don't feel too bad. Maybe take a couple of aspirin in the morning, but I don't usually have to do that.
Posted by: rickl at January 03, 2016 05:05 PM (sdi6R)
For my Cherry Pie, I used a pure pork lard for the crust.
I usually use butter, or a combo of butter and vegetable shortening. I'll never use the veg shortening again.
I can't explain how tasty and flaky it was. I knew the traditional lard was the way to go, but just never looked about for pure animal lard.
My husband actually commented on how good the pie crust was (without knowing I had made any changes to my typical pie crust recipe.) That's how different and good it was.

It's one thing to have a recipe but not have the right implements to prepare it. But what about when you have an implement and you don't know what recipe it's for?
We have a cast iron pan (inherited) with seven indents, but we're not sure what it's for. Hard to web-search, but we thought it might be useful to horde-source. Clue, anyone?

How much smoke does it give off?
Posted by: Y-not
Not dumb at all. I have a screened in porch, and have kept it there, covered with a plastic cover from the manufacturer, for the abnormally warm November and December we just had. I reckon I need to move it into the garage now so the temp extremes don't do anything untoward to it.
As to the smoke, it gives off quite a bit every time I charge it with wood chips. You certainly couldn't keep it inside, but in the garage with the door open would be fine.
The thing I like best is that you can turn it on, program it , and monitor the meat temperature using a remote from inside your house. I have no interest in monitoring a traditional smoker for a full day, so the ability to set it and more or less forget it is a big plus.

The nutella ebelskiver with a cup of good coffee is one of the best things this side of heaven.
Ebelskiver batter:
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
3 tbsp butter, melted and cooled.
filling: preserves/jam, nutella, cocktail sausages, cheese etc
mix dry ingredients together, mix wet ingredients together, then gradually stir into dry ingredients. Heat ebelskiver pan, then coat with oil or cooking spray. Add recommended amount of batter (usually 2-3 tablespoons) to each indent, then add filling of choice. Using a spoon or ebelskiver sticks, turn cakes so that both sides are cooked through (2-3 minutes total) Enjoy

Depends. Who grabs the oil fields first[/ I]
Problem is, IIRC,is that many (most?) of the Saudi wells are in the eastern part of the country. Which is Shia in practice, even if ethnically Arab. Strict Sunni consider Shia to be the next best thing to Kuffar and persecute them .... mmmm.. religiously (see the recent mass execution). Even if the Saudi hold on to the oil fields, they may have internal trouble with their Shia population.

I think I found it in a Williams-Sonoma appetizer book. I couldn't find it online anywhere.
Here it is.
Deviled Eggs with Capers
12 Extra-large hard boiled eggs; cut in half, yolks scooped out
3 Tbl Mayonnaise
1 tsp whole grain mustard (I use the Maille's Old Style)
1 1/ 2 tsp Champagne vinegar
2 Tbl capers, rinsed
1 Tbl finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (Italian)
1 anchovy fillet, soaked for 5 minutes in lukewarm water, drained, patted dry (optional)
Fine sea salt
Scant 1/ 8 tsp cayenne pepper to taste
Throw the yolks and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor, using 1/ 4 tsp salt if using the anchovy, otherwise use 1/ 2 tsp salt. Pipe or spoon into egg white half shells.
*I use the anchovy about half the time. I really like it without too. But, sometimes I'm in the mood for a fishy flavor. It's not overwhelming, because you soak it and dry it before using.

Heh. Chili is a dump and stir thing for me I usually make in a crockpot so who knows. I've been in love with these sauce packets lately (I think they are red fork?) and using that for chili! I'm also the red wine and porcini one for pot roast. Add onion green chili beef beans and some tomato and that's it. Lazy cooking.

Here is what you do:
1) Don't pass out drunk- stop drinking a few hours before bed
2) Stay up as late as you can
3) Drinks lots of water
4) Right before bed take 2-3 ibuprofen

Full stop. You can still eat them. That's okay.
And I think vegetarians believe, wrongly, that they are the center and giver of life. No. When I say grace before meals, it's to humble myself before the divine plan and to thank God that at least for now we are in charge. I also don't go out and look for "cute" bears or lions because I know they will want to kill me.

Chi,
here is a basic recipe to start with (that is good by itself) Very fast, and easy, one pot.
http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/2123750-Soup-Chili-Con-Carne
and I would tweak it with/add some or all of these if you want to play around with the flavors and texture
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp oregano
1 /2 tsp cayenne pepper
equal amount of tomato puree (with tomatoes)
(If you use ground beef. And, I usually mix the ground beef with some fatty and lean for more fat flavor. Or, ground chuck.)

I am told that the addition to chili of any of these adulterant foreign substances is a felony under the criminal codes of the State of Texas. Mandatory minimum sentencing applies.
Since I'm not a Texan, yet anyway, my answer to the chili-without-beans or chili-with-beans question is simply "Yes".

I've heard the snootyness about beans in chili, but the truth is that beans are cheap while meat adds delicious flavor (but I can't believe how expensive it is here in TX) so feeding a family cheaply means mixing the two.
My recipe is:
Frozen pre-cooked red, pinto, and black beans (I cook them in the crockpot whenever I havea ham bone)
Pre-cooked ground beef (my mom used ground pork)
A quart jar of my M-i-l's salsa
Cumin and cayenne to taste.
Mix all together and cook on low without scorching (not a lot of liquid in the recipe so, not very long). Flavor is better the next day after "marrying".
I'm pretty sure that recipe would cause chili snobs to cry and swear, but it's inexpensive and tasty.

Amen, when I went out on New Year's Eve, I gave the waitress/bartender a ten dollar bill and told her, "This is your tip to make sure that my big glass of ginger ale is always full.

Mom hated the monkeys, though - nasty, dirty, spiteful, vicious little b*stards. She was quite cheerful, she told us years later -- whenever any of them had to be put down in the course of the studies. And Mom was otherwise the most sentimental animal-lover imaginable.
My daughter and I have started keeping chickens in the back yard -- for the eggs, you see. And we have become quite sentimental about Larry-Bird and the girls. (It turned out that one of the ten-week-old laying pullets we got from a local poultry farm was a rooster... Daughter wanted to name them Larry, Moe and Curly ... or Lorena, Maureen and Carly.) But once you have given them names, they are pets, and unless things really go sideways in the next few years, it will be extremely difficult to eat them when their egg-laying and rooster usefulness is ended.
I know that my farm-raised grandmother would be appalled at how soft-hearted we are about this - but at this point, killing and dressing out any of our chicken-Stooges is just not in the cards. Likely they will live out their chicken lives and be buried in a corner of the back yard, like the other pets.

One main secret to good chili is do this:

Other tricks:
Depending on the quantity of liquid add a beef bouillon cube or two to make the liquid taste better.
Hidden spice: 1 to 2 teaspoons of Colman's Double Superfine Mustard Powder.

We've been cold brewing coffee for a while. It's good, but the toddy is basically the ugliest thing you'll have in your kitchen. Unless your kitchen is made out of stacked canned goods fashioned into cabinets or something.
Anyway, hubby got me a crazy glass cold brew drip coffee system for Christmas. It makes great coffee, and it looks really cool doing it. Sadly, it's sort of huge so it's not really something that can be left out all the time unless you have some space that is a) protected from the dangers of children and pets and also b) not topped by cabinets but it is a very fun way to make coffee.

Next time, if it works, you can use those 15 cents worth of beans for making decent food like ham-hocks and beans.

Chi, we mostly cook on the same basis you do, so no chili recipes here.
As far as hangovers: I always apply aspirin, B vitamins, and a lot of water before going to bed. Gatorade is better. Seems to help.
Tried some amino acid (?)(starts with G ?) a few times, results ambiguous.
Oxygen; when I worked next to a 5000 gallon dewar full of liquid o2, I tried going and breathing from the vent line a few times, seemed to help a little, after 10 minutes or so .... definitely get an oxygen high of a sort ....
Back when I worked across the street from Chicago's best Italian beef place my favorite cure was a beef with hot and sweet and a quart of milk.

Used to get a food and wine magazine and it had articles about New York foodies buying animals for their hobby farms and raising them to eat--obsessing over the feed, feeding them herbs to enhance the meat, making friend with the local butcher to discuss the harvest, planning out how to use every scrap of meat, innards, and what to do with the hide. Bizarre. People who live in those towns surrounding NYC must just shake their heads. I bet they also charge double or triple for the slaughtering and packaging after having to discuss it ad nauseum with Biff and Binky.

I was a fan from her first appearance on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. She and her bff Hyacinth prepared a thanksgiving dinner v. Bobby. From there, I found her website and enjoyed it (still do now and then). But her tv show now is a needle scratch with the over acting by her and staging of her kids in the show.
But what I really want to do is wash her face and apply proper eye make up on her. She has lovely ginger! hair and cream complexion but the hard eyeliner is not flattering.

True, and I believe that we're going to see it happen within the next year. Iran has Russia's backing and both are losing loads of money from the Saudis dumping oil on the market. There are lots of Shias in the eastern provinces of Saudi Arabia, which just happens to be where most of the oil is.
Iran is going to want to attack, consolidate, and fortify before Obama leaves office. Even if a resolute Republican does win in 2016, they aren't going to risk a nuclear war with Russia.

If it were a good idea to cook beans previously used as pie weights, there would be recipes for chili made with toasted beans.
Old beans are hard to hydrate. Keeping a desiccant in a container of seeds for planting is recommended. Beans are an exception. I expect that oven heat would dry beans out. Unless some other chemical reaction makes up for this, I think you would have to grind beans used as pie weights before cooking.
Does anybody know how they prepare those crunchy chickpea snacks?

What's Reuben ball? It was made up by an old cook we worked w/ yrss ago. It's like a cheese ball but made w/ cream cheese. Add shredded corned beef, swiss cheese and sauerkraut. spread on a cracker and it's delish.

If you can't taste the salt at all, that seems to be a good sign that your body needs it. Ditto if it somehow seems more refreshing and satisfying than plain water, but you can't tell why. The salts are, I think, about retaining the water rather than having it just pass on through.

The line between pets and food is an uncomfortable one, I'll grant.
My farm-raised Grannie Jessie (who kept chickens in her suburban backyard during the Depression for eggs and meat) did tell us that when she was a girl, she and her brother and sister would have to stop going down to the pig-pen in late summer.
Because the pigs were friendly and intelligent and altogether charming ... and on a Pennsylvania farm at the turn of the last century, they were intended to provide hams, cutlets and bacon for the winter.
Being sentimental about animals is a luxury good.
In desperation, anything goes. The family of James Reed, marooned in the high Sierras in 1846 as part of the Donner-Reed party, ate their pet dog.
Early in 1945. the extended family of Americans interned in the Philippines - who were facing starvation -- absolutely revolted when the camp doctor killed their pet dog. They had taken from their own meager rations to keep the dog fed for four years.
The adult children of the elderly couple who had kept the dog in internment were outraged. They couldn't prevent the dog being killed, but they deliberately contaminated the dog's body with disinfectant, so that it couldn't be used to eke out the starvation rations .
Complicated ethically? Yes, certainly.

Do I really need to blind bake the bottom crust?
I usually just throw whatever I have in the pie celery, carrots,
onions, sometimes potato, peas - but how do I make the best "gravy?"
Canned cream-of-whatever soup + 1 egg has been my tradition, but I'm
looking for something better.
A basic bechemel? Help?
Posted by: Chi at January 03, 2016 07:42 PM (gQfxF)
I don't blind bake my crust for pot pie.
As for the "gravy" I use chicken broth (usually I'll boil the chicken used for the pie in water with most of the veg, salt pepper and spices and use that as the broth). I mix 2 Tbsp of cornstarch with about 2 cups of broth then pour that over the meat and veg. It's usually enough to thicken.

We always keep our tree up till Epiphany. We have a very simple tree this year, but I like the lights. Except for really garish displays (Blinking colored lights make me nauseous if I look at them too long) I love Christmas lights and I'm always sorry to see them go because they remind me of the light that shines in the darkness. :^)

Given that ISIS
1. Doesn't have an Air Force, and
2. Doesn't have anti aircraft weaponry
Flying a mission against ISIS is something even a Saudi pilot can handle. The only plane shot down over ISIS territory was shot down by the Turks. Who do their own fighting

If Saudi and Iran could kill each other off without getting the rest of the world involved, it would be wonderful, but it ain't gonna happen.
If Saudi gets destabilized, shit gets real. Hope it holds together long enough until Barky is out. But if Hillary gets it, it's gone anyway.

I cook the carcass of the chicken with sauteed onions and celery and such in the pressure cooker, but I am told simmering it for a long time also works well.
Some of the recipes call to leave a hole in the crust to top off the gravy but I never found that to be needed.
Also, the older recipes are just chicken, gravy and pie crust, no veggies, I like to add veggies though.
Finally, I don't cook with corn starch because I was raised on flour gravy.

His comment? "This isn't tool use."
The next slide was of the space shuttle.
His comment? "THIS is tool use."
he was worng, of course. Lower animals use tools all the time - in the same ways that humans use them. The point is not whether lower animals use tools or not but whether that makes one bit of difference. It doesn't. Friggin dung beetles form shit into balls so that they can roll them home. If 1000 humans were given shovels (clearly tools) and told to transport snow a long way from one point to another the great bulk of the humans would pick the snow up in shovels. A few would make snowballs and roll them to the destination ... but probably not too many. Does this mean that dung beetles are more human than the idiot humans who used the tool - the shovel - to make the task as difficult as possible? No. It just means that a good number of humans are idiots who can't solve a simple problem that dung beetles have. But that is no argument that medical experiments should be performed on those humans instead of the dung beetles, just because they failed the "roll test".
There are ants that farm. Big deal. When they're proud my house they still get exterminated with RAID (assuming, of course, that I lived around these ants). The ants can farm there little hearts out in ant heaven.

As a native Texan I will say that chili is what you want it to be. Personally I don't like beans in it, but with a bunch of kids I appreciate the stretching ability.
Secret ingredient. Tequila. Depends on how much you're making, but a shot per gallon should work. Remember to put the tequila in the chili too.

here is my favorite chili recipe (if this doesn't work then Chi will do the barrel for me
)
CHILE VERDE CON CARNE (BEEF GREEN CHILI)
adapted from The Homesick Texan
**NOTE: You can use 2-16oz jars of a good quality Salsa Verde in place of the chili's and tomatillo's and cut ½ -1 cup of broth. This also allows you to pick your heat level on the spicy scale**
Ingredients:
1 lb roasted Hatch chiles with skins removed (can sub a can of roasted chili's)
3 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes or ground
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 tablespoon bacon grease or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
12 oz Shiner Bock
½ lbs fresh tomatillos, husks removed and roughly chopped (again, you can used canned or a jar of salsa verde)
1 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons masa harina (this is corn flour for tortilla's, can sub fine corn meal)
freshly squeezed lime juice to taste
Sour cream, for serving
Cilantro, for serving
Warm tortillas, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving
Sprinkle the beef with the salt and pepper. Heat the bacon grease or oil on medium-low in a large heavy pot, such as a Dutch oven, and then working in batches brown the beef on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
Once the beef has been browned, leaving the heat on medium-low, add the onions to the pot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. If you use ground beef, drain the fat first. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Pour the chicken broth and beer into the pot, and then scrap the bottom of the pot to incorporate all the cooked bits into the broth. Add the chopped chiles, the cooked beef, the tomatillos, half of the chopped cilantro, cumin, oregano, and allspice to the pot.
Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to low and simmer uncovered for 3-4 hours or until the beef is fork tender. At this time, add the remaining cilantro and then taste and adjust seasonings. Mix the masa harina with 1/4 cup of water and then stir into the pot until well combined. Continue to cook for 30 more minutes and then add the lime juice. Serve warm with sour cream, cilantro, warm tortillas and/or tortilla chips.

but then we have to decide.. how long do we do this? She'll get another
and another. I knew these fucking UTI's would be the death of her.
Posted by: jewells45 at January 03, 2016 09:33 PM (5fvBZ)<<<
My grandmother went through something similar in Sept. She's fought UTIs for several years. In Sept her psychiatrist made an adjustment to one of her meds, a couple weeks later, she just went off the wall one afternoon. Seeing things, having conversations with herself (in her voice, and speaking for whoever she thought she heard in her head). She was admitted to a geriatric psych unit for three weeks (though they were absolutely no help), had adjustments to her meds, and though the hallucinations stopped, she's been diagnosed with vascular dementia, has real problems with her memory, and is no where close to where she was before the hospitalization.

It's been tricky. Right now I'm the one watching out for her, as she can't be left alone, and it would kill her to take her out of her house.
She's never been a strong woman when it comes to things like this, so when she gets hit with another UTI (she's been diagnosed with 3 since the incident in Sept) she seems to regress a bit further. We're worried she'll have another perfect storm of UTI, meds, and dementia that'll force our hand and leave me unable to handle the care anymore.
I'll be thinking of you and your mom though, and keep hope for the best for the both of you.
