Food Thread: Unlabeled Containers...What's In Your Wallet Freezer?
Last week I mentioned cooking lentils, and how good and satisfying they were. But I neglected to explain the entire recipe, and the ingredient I left out is pretty important. Yup. Bacon. I chopped some up and sauteed it for the fat in which to cook the rest of the ingredients, and also because...duh...bacon!
First, I thought CBD stood for Coached by Duffy (Daugherty). Oh well...
There are a few ways to make your own lumpy charcoal. I use a blue enameled roasting pan and put my hardwood scraps in it and put it in the woodstove that I use to heat my house. The wood gas (methane) leaks out of the loose lid and ignites. When no more flames come out of the lid, your charcoal is done.
Another way to do it would be to make a fire in a 55 gallon barrel and you could put your wood scraps in a new paint can, punch a few holes in the lid to allow the wood gas to escape. You'd best do that outside, not in your kitchen...
I use hardwoods like oak, hickory, locust and cherry gleaned from a cabinet shop across the street from my Dad. I probably have a dozen sacks of charcoal for this summer and another couple hundred pounds ready for next winter's cooking in the woodstove.
I have never heard of this stuff, but it sounds like loads of fun. Chili Crisp: Spicy, Salty, Crunchy, Tingly, and Good on Everything. There is a recipe along with the article, so if you can't find the brand in question, you can always make it yourself. But...it sounds like a bit of a chore, so I am going to look for a jar of it before I plunge into homemade.
Biscotti are great with a cup of good coffee. Although come to think of it, they would improve a cup of bad coffee... I have made this a couple of times, but never got 65 pieces out of the recipe. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but they tasted good, so tough.
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 large eggs
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup brandy
- 1 1/2 teaspoons anise extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons aniseed
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with foil. Beat sugar and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Combine brandy, anise extract and vanilla extract in glass measuring cup. Add dry ingredients and brandy mixture alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir in almonds and aniseed.
Form two 2-inch-wide, 13-inch-long strips on each sheet. Moisten fingertips and smooth dough into logs. Bake until golden and firm to touch, about 40 minutes. Transfer sheets to racks and cool completely.
Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Transfer cooled logs to work surface. Using serrated knife, cut logs on diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices on baking sheets. Bake cookies until dry and slightly brown, turning every 10 minutes, about 40 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Store in airtight containers at room temperature.) Makes about 65

38 I had some left over pork roast so I chopped it up and made a sour cream and onion sauce, planning to serve it on brown rice.
I make rice in the rice cooker and then freeze smaller portions in little bags. So I took one of those out to defrost.
Right before dinner, porky stuff all ready, I go to heat up the rice. Damn. It's not rice. It's leftover sauerkraut from about 6 months ago.
Eh. I use it anyway!!! It was quite good!

51 My mysteries are those quart tubs full of . . . some sort of frozen broth.
Generally when I have a roasted chicken or a hambone that I have picked everything off of I will cook the bones down for broth. I save the broth for making rice or cook noodles in them.
I also have some tubs full of pumpkin puree and some full of strawberries. Fortunately I can visually spot the difference there.Posted by: Kindltot at April 15, 2018 04:17 PM (2K6fY)

54 My biggest problem is that I'll cook something and eat part of it and refrigerate the rest. But then I become bored with it and let it sit there for the better part of a week while buying new food. Eventually it weighs on my mind and I steel myself to eat it. There have been a few cases of spoilage where I've had to discard it. Maybe I should use the freezer, but it'd probably fill up lacking the motivation that it will be wasted.Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at April 15, 2018 04:17 PM (/qEW2)

82 I think a comic did a bit about putting leftovers in a container and into the fridge until they are spoiled enough to throw them away. I have a dog so I don't do that a whole lot but some stuff, esp. veggies gets pushed to the back and forgotten and then if I used tupperware etc instead of a throwaway butter container I am bummed.
But my pet peeve is the co-workers who do this when they go out to eat and leave those cartons in the work fridge. For petes sake people if you are not going to eat the rest of that meal within the week just let the restaurant compost it right away instead of fouling the work fridge with the moldy remains that *I* throw away a few weeks later after going " EWWW what is that horrid smell"Posted by: PaleRider, simply irredeemable at April 15, 2018 04:24 PM (84F5k)

I think a Moron 'must have' kitchen item is an infrared thermometer. They're not very expensive. Made a shrimp thing last night: onion, pepper, bacon fat, olive oil, mushrooms, garlic, cheese, pizza sauce, cherry tomatoes, etc, with fan-tailed shrimp over a very modest amount of pasta. To my interpretation -- very Paleo level meal. Keep the pasta boiling time short -- under five minutes to keep glycemic level lower.
Pressed for time, cooked the thawed shrimp in small pot and brought them up only to sous vide 'done' temp -- about 160. Not boiling as usual. Much chewier and flavorful. Fan-tailing the shrimp exposes more flesh area to absorbing delicious juices.
Impossible/dangerous to cook shrimp without proper instrumentation -- which is why infrared probe recommendation. Wife cleaned her plate and scraped the bowl for the last remnants. I snuck a few shrimp from her bowl. She didn't stab me in the wrist with her fork which I considered non-committal.
When I leave the dinner table with puncture wounds to the back of the wrist from a fork I knew the meal was really good. And not to snitch from her plate again.Posted by: Forgot My Nic at April 15, 2018 04:26 PM (LOgQ4)

Now, that may be because the ones his mother made were actually pretty good. She chopped the raisins up into tiny pieces and didn't use too many of them.

114 I'm on a low sodium diet so I crave lots of food items. I found a Spanish type of olive and pickle that is spicey and pretty low in salt but they are hard to come by. So I save the left over pickle juice they come in and right now I have like 6 containers in the freezer. I put a container of it in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, add red pepper flakes. While it is coming to a boil I cut up small cucumbers or persian cucumbers into slices and then pour the boiling liquid over. I leave it on the counter until it cools a bit, then into the fridge it goes. It's best 24 hrs later but I can eat the slices even if it's only 8 hours. It helps satisfy my cravings and add the spice makes up for the disipation that happens with the flavor.Posted by: Slinky Sally at April 15, 2018 04:33 PM (sBDDH)

Posted by: ScoggDog at April 15, 2018 04:21 PM (fiGNd)
Hardwood is more dense and burns longer. Softwood will give a more porous charcoal and burns faster.
The English charcoal burners traditionally used a lot of filbert because it grew fast. Linden and beech and other fast growing softwoods also were used. That was used for making bog iron until techniques to use coal were developed.

My kidneys upon wakening one morning this week felt like someone had punched the ever-living-hell out of them during the entire night. An entire wasted day for me feeling like shit.
We have a 'salad spinner' to wet down lettuce and try to clean it. She never used it. For whatever reason. Perhaps thinking the same people that demand instant citizenship and voting and welfare rights had cleaned it.

158 I like CBD's approach to salad. In the garden we plant leaf lettuce and spinach together in the same containers. Just cut some for a combination, add some scallion or onion and some tomato. Herbal vinargrette is nice but even salt, pepper and lemon juice will do.
If the salad (along with Beano) is the whole meal, I can get rather inclusive: carrots, bell pepper, celery, etc. with the leafy stuff above.

That chili sauce recipe looks great. I never had Sichuan peppercorn until a real Sichuan place opened here a few years ago - it was only recently that you could even import them into the US because of some kind of blight that they were trying to keep out of the country.

181 Freezer
Reduced broth, wine, and carmelized onions -> ice cube tray -> ziplock bags. Instant flavor for soup, stews, pasta etc.
Also, I make some herb mixes like cilantro, chopped roasted garlic, chili paste for instant Tex Mex.
Miso paste, hondashi, sesami/ginger paste for Japanese.
Haven't don't it yet but - grated lemongrass, cilantro, garlic chili paste, and ginger for Thai/SE Asian.
Lasagna keeps pretty well in the freezer. I cut it into long rectangles for individual servings. Nuking it works just fine.
For late night ramen adventures i freeze leftover shredded pork and keep in small ziplocks. Cook up your noodles and pop in a wad of the pork. Good times.
Not so good; turkey mushroom rice. Turkey doesn't do well in the freezer - always seems to get that freezer taste real quick.

I'm on a low sodium diet so I crave lots of food items. I found a
Spanish type of olive and pickle that is spicey and pretty low in salt
but they are hard to come by. So I save the left over pickle juice they
come in and right now I have like 6 containers in the freezer. I put a
container of it in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, add red pepper
flakes. While it is coming to a boil I cut up small cucumbers or persian
cucumbers into slices and then pour the boiling liquid over. I leave it
on the counter until it cools a bit, then into the fridge it goes. It's
best 24 hrs later but I can eat the slices even if it's only 8 hours.
It helps satisfy my cravings and add the spice makes up for the
disipation that happens with the flavor.

Look into Pascalization or High Pressure Processing of food. It kills bacteria and such without heating it, by taking it to 50,000 PSI or 3.5 Kilobars
Some foods are processed this way, there is a place out of Gresham Oregon that processes raw hamburger this way for sale.
I was looking into doing a traveling truck with the equipment to go from small farm to small farmstead to sterilize whole milk for farm sales of raw milk so the farmers could keep it on hand a bit longer by avoiding the fast spoilage and vector risk.

Take it from a pro: Hickory shirt and heavy leather gloves, and to be sure, duct tape the cuffs over the leather gloves.
Then, buy a Stihl gas hedge trimmer like the SL94. Use it like your personal 2-stroke Vorpal sword.
Some of the guys use a small chainsaw and get into the middle of the thicket to cut the base canes, but that is not always possible. A machete is not optimal and I have used them a lot, but in the swing you get caught by the thorns and you can't stop before they tear through your delicate skin.
Hand clippers are a good method too, but you wind up clawing up your arms if you don't have a heavy shirt on, but don't get too deep and have some place to stack the cut canes. A good garden rake or a pitch fork is good for doing thatPosted by: Kindltot at April 15, 2018 05:18 PM (2K6fY)

MMMM. The best part of this weekend. Is that the 1.5 feet of snow (and climbing as it's STILL snowing) All our kids sporting events got cancelled etc. It forced us all to slow down, play board games etc. So the 18" plus of global warming, white privilege, albeit annoying as shit and I am sooo over winter, it was a blessing in disguise.

issues the new advice from most doctors and heart specialists is that
unless you are "salt sensitive" it does not hurt to use salt.
When I had
my heart attack I did a test where I ate salty potato chips all
afternoon long and took my BP every hour. It was not effected by the
huge salt intake.

long
term studies have shown that people on a low salt diet actually have
more problems and die sooner than similar patients on a regular diet do.
yet my VA doc tried to tell me i should cut my sodium intake because of hypertension.

Children in this country are both 'going to bed hungry at night' and 'suffering from the epidemic of obesity'. Simultaneously.
Which is why blending into the drapery and writing about ones experiences is the morally high ground. As Jesus recently asked of me:
"You want both the lawn trimmed and the shrubs trimmed?"
I had to WWJD him.

334 Or, if you plan in advance and put in the time and money, there's Bandersnatch's Offshore Sandwiches. They were developed for offshore fishing, but also work well for hikes.
The reason they're good is that they're better the day after they're made, so you do them the night before.
A baguette, or similar crusty bread. Olive oil and balsamico. Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers. Cut into half sandwich sized pieces and wrap tightly in Saran wrap.
Keeps forever. Gets better when the juices mingle. Doesn't get soggy if you start with good bread.Posted by: Bandersnatch at April 15, 2018 06:05 PM (fuK7c)

Venison and fish is always eaten, but store bought chicken will be discovered months or years later. I'm actually making a point of working my way through everything right now so I can begin slowly restocking it.

347 semi-food related: had my twice delayed by food poisoning 'scope a couple of weeks ago. they allegedly gave me fentanyl and midazolam (Versed) prior to starting things.
this year the syringes actually had labels on them but, unlike last time, i was awake, alert and conscious for the ENTIRE procedure, start to finish, instead of just most of it.
got back to recovery and the idiot nurse was you can't leave until you recover from anesthesia.... and OMG your BP is high. no shit you Fing idiot, i was awake for the whole damn thing. i took the auto-BP cuff off and told them they could either release me or get me the AMA form.
she went running for Resident Evil, to get her to help them get me to stay. she came in, laughed at the nurse and told her the only way my BP was going to come down was if they released me.
then she dragged in the doc, who, after talking to RE, told her to let me go.
and, to drag it back on topic, martinis are a clear liquid, as is scotch and water.
which is what i had to drink the night before the procedure, as well as when i got back home.Posted by: redc1c4 at April 15, 2018 06:11 PM (kLwt5)

355 Weasel, I usually do meat, bread and cheese for food. It carries well and goes down easy in a hurry.
I do keep a SAW ammo box (800 5.56 NATO can) with two propane cylinders, a Century one-burner stove and one of those tiny propane lanterns. It all fits in there with not enough room to rattle if you set it right. (a 50 Cal can is smaller, YMMV)
I also keep a gym bag with sauce pan, cups, coffee, sugar, bouillon cubes and some single serve canned foods in the car so that I can make coffee for break.
Hot coffee is a treat in the woods. A cup of hot bouillon is wonderful when you are soaked to the skin and you have a couple of hours left to go.
And having a lantern for when you get stuck over night make everyone much more relaxed.Posted by: Kindltot at April 15, 2018 06:15 PM (2K6fY)

Fat, protein, and salt, the three food groups, right? Sausage is good, like Bander mentioned. Cheese is good, it's got all three too. Same with the crusty sammich suggestion.
When I used to go hiking with my uncle in Vermont, he would bring a little pack with summer sausage, a wedge of cheese like Manchego, a little jar of spicy mustard, maybe two apples, and a carbon Opinel #6. We'd hike up to an overlook or a stream or something, cut a slice of cheese or sausage, dip it in the mustard, and pass the knife back and forth like that. When we sat down, he'd fire up a Trangia with a little espresso pot on it and by the time lunch was done there was a little dixie cup worth of espresso ready.
I mean, it's froofy as hell, but that was just a neat way to kill a half hour out on a mountain and about the best I ever ate on a trail.
Of course, we were just hiking. If I'm burning calories, it's basically the same thing, just less leisurely and more budget-oriented.Posted by: hogmartin at April 15, 2018 06:19 PM (y87Qq)

393 Hello everyone.
So a thread from a few days ago has been occupying my mind, the idea of college students being Food Insecure or something goofy like that.
Well, I went to the grocery store today to put that theory to the test. I bought a package of ramen, some refrigerated grilled chicken, frozen shrimp, green onions, parsley, sriracha, and eggs. Cooked up the ramen, scrambled an egg, and put it in a bowl with some of the chicken and shrimp. Sprinkled the garnish on it and drizzled with sriracha. A decent and filling meal that, by my calculation, cost maybe a buck fifty. Less if I had cooked the chicken myself.
I am left with the opinion that it takes real work and dedication to starve in this country.Posted by: WitchDoktor, AKA VA GOP Sucks at April 15, 2018 06:34 PM (G8hDY)

Ben Had @ 286- The S.C. sauce is mustard based and N.C. sauce is vinegar
based. Being a South Carolinian, I prefer mustard based, but will
certainly eat either one. A top hog, say 180-225 lbs live weight will
yield say 75-120 lbs of bbq. Your pit ready hog is scraped clean of
hair, split from necktie to tail and butterflied, or, spatchcocked for
us morons. No head nor feets. My sister in S.C. just may give me her
recipe for sauce and hash. A whole hog is not a requirement and a
smaller amount can be cooked, but would require a slightly smaller
amount of drinking.

405 A friend's mom made peanut butter and honey sandwiches for us when I was about 10 years old. It was such a taste sensation to me that I considered asking her to adopt me. Instead I went home and asked my mom to buy honey along with the PB.

430 I mentioned this in a thread last week but I'm repeating it because it's the easiest thing ever: To cook a perfect medium rare eye of round roast, let the meat come to room temperature (takes about an hour). Preheat the oven to 500. Salt and pepper the roast. I put canola oil on it, but Jane D'oh told me that's not necessary. Cook at 500 for 5 minutes for every pound Mine was 2.5 lb. roast and I cooked it at 500 for 13 minutes. Then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in there for 2 hours. Do not open the oven door during that time. Then enjoy. It's so easy a moron (and not the good kind) could make it.Posted by: Donna&&&&&&V sez don't you dare walk the damn pitcher at April 15, 2018 06:48 PM (H80UQ)

Statement from R. Lee Ermey's long time manager, Bill Rogin:
It is with deep sadness that I regret to inform you all that R. Lee
Ermey ("The Gunny") passed away this morning from complications of
pneumonia. He will be greatly missed by all of us. It is a terrible loss
that nobody was prepared for. He has meant so much to so many people.
And, it is extremely difficult to truly quantify all of the great things
this man has selflessly done for, and on behalf of, our many men and
women in uniform. He has also contributed many iconic and indelible
characters on film that will live on forever. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman
of Full Metal Jacket fame was a hard and principled man. The real R. Lee
Ermey was a family man, and a kind and gentle soul. He was generous to
everyone around him. And, he especially cared deeply for others in need.
There is a quote made famous in Full Metal Jacket. It's actually the
Riflemen's Creed. "This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this
one is mine."
There are many Gunny's, but this one was OURS. And,
we will honor his memory with hope and kindness. Please support your
men and women in uniform. That's what he wanted most of all.

That's kind of an important distinction. Most people should be able to ingest some limited amount of e-coli without going into kidney failure. It's everywhere. I don't have to walk five feet.

lots of ways to get compromised besides AIDS. e.coli is hard on the very young and the elderly, because of their weaker immune systems, and kidney issues are often secondary to getting dehydrated from nausea and/or diarrhea.
chemo/radiation therapy is another, as are ant-rejection drugs post transplant.
my partially compromised system is secondary to 3 anaphylactic reactions to cephalosporin antibiotics, triggered by years of low grade exposure to them in the laminar flow hood making them for other people.Posted by: redc1c4 at April 15, 2018 07:09 PM (kLwt5)

519 lots of ways to get compromised besides AIDS. e.coli is hard on the very young and the elderly, because of their weaker immune systems, and kidney issues are often secondary to getting dehydrated from nausea and/or diarrhea.
chemo/radiation therapy is another, as are ant-rejection drugs post transplant.
my partially compromised system is secondary to 3 anaphylactic reactions to cephalosporin antibiotics, triggered by years of low grade exposure to them in the laminar flow hood making them for other people.

I understood almost everything you said. Why can't the media present information with a disclaimer that "Most people who are not immuno-compromised should not have an issue?"

Liverwurst is the opposite - I liked it as a kid, didn't eat it for ages and then bought some 10 years ago. I was looking forward to a nice liverwurst and onion sandwich on rye. I tossed it away after 2 bites.

My go-to saw these days are the baby Homelites like the one pictured in the link. I pick 'em up for ten or twenty dollars each at flea markets and swap meets, tune them up, and they always work great, and do all the cutting I need to do. I also have a number of collector chainsaws.

Just tonight, I had lamb chops (ok, they were goat chops), cut up into little cubes, coated with soy sauce and sesame oil, then mixed with brown rice and some preserved mushrooms in chili oil (https://preview.tinyurl.com/y7sp88g7).
