Food Thread: Pork Belly Is God's Way Of Saying He Loves Us And Wants Us To Be Happy
I had a pretty good hanger steak with a red wine reduction that was almost ruined by the addition of truffle oil. Why are people still using it? I think that it is an interesting flavor that has its uses in a few foods, but this indiscriminate use of an artificial ingredient that mimics (poorly) the flavor of truffles has run its course. Just stop!
"Thou shalt not put inane things in good food." it's in the bible! A good bratwurst (or any good sausage) is just fine on its own. I will grudgingly accept a few variations, but when well-meaning people stray this far afield nothing good can come of it.
I had a ginger-based cocktail recently, and it was a revelation. I asked for the recipe, and it specifies a ginger-honey syrup. I found some recipes on the internet, but my first attempt was not particularly redolent of ginger. I think the next time I will blend the ginger to maximize extraction, and then figure out how to filter the water so it isn't a mess of ginger pulp.. Anyone have any thoughts about this? I could use some help. Not having the correct ingredients is cutting into my drinking!
Why yes, I am having lamb tonight! It is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and it is a festive holiday that requires good food, and lamb certainly fits the bill. Boneless leg that i will rub with a parsley/garlic/Rosemary/mustard mash and then grill to medium or, if it is raining, roast in a hot oven. But lamb takes to the grill so well, I might just brave the cold and hunch miserably under an umbrella for the few minutes I need to be in front of the grill. 1st World Problems! I love it!

As for filtering your ginger water, use cheesecloth or muslin, or just a fine strainer, which I'm sure you have in your well-equipped kitchen.

I didn't know that truffle oil was phony. I assumed it was a legit oil infused with real truffles. Remember the truffle butter craze?
My fondest truffle memory is of a pizza in L'Aquila, Italy. It had arugula, asiago cheese and truffles. L'Aquila is a mountain town so the ingredients reflected the locale.

Peel, slice into matchstick pieces, put enough to mostly fill a mason jar. Top off with vodka, loosely cover with lid. Pressurise for 30 min or so.
Works for vanilla beans, almonds, almost anything you want for an alcohol-based extract.

Dad used to call something similar 'Italian Salad'. Marinate green peppers, white onions, and a few pinches of mozzarella in red wine vinegar and olive oil for about 3 hours. Add tomatoes and basil 30mins before serving.

I have been curing and smoking my own bacon for some time (based on the Charcuterie book recipe), but the last time I used Meathead Goldwyn's recipe. What a revelation! Easier and the bacon was awesome. My go to from now on.
When they have bellies again, I'll have to try more variations. And I agree with CBD. I hate five spice powder with pork...or with anything else. But, then, I don't like syrup on French toast either, so I'm apparently an outlier.
On a different tack, I tried some pickle brined chicken breasts today. (Supposedly it's the secret ingredient in Chick-fil-A and has been a recent foodie thing.) Meh. Needed some additional seasoning after cooked. Won't try it again.

I made it up Lizzy and Ben Had.
If you want to shortcut the sauce, Dave's makes a prepared Butternut Squash sauce in the jar. It was too sweet for my taste, but the gorgonzola cuts the sweetness. You can make your own butternut squash sauce, of course labor intensive.
I used a recipe from the CHOW website for that.
Only thing I suggest is getting the dolcelatte instead of regular gorgonzola due to the creaminess.
Boil the pasta, when it's done drain it. add the sauce first, then stir in some chunks of the cheese. Everything should be melty at this point so you can plate it. Then add the toasted walnuts right before serving, if you like some Italian parsley sprinkled on top for a little zest and prettiness.
I like it with whole wheat pasta, which I know is anathema to some. But it works well with penne, farfalle, linguine, fettuccine. Wouldn't go too skinny with the pasta though.

We lived off coldcuts when we returned after Matthew. We lost power with Irma as soon as the storm intensified (transformer blew up near us). I cooked over a two-burner camp stove for four days, didn't attempt to use the charcoal Weber because the charcoal was damp (note to self: bring the charcoal in the house next time).
We're stocked up with whatever we might need in case Florence comes south. Local forecasters are predicting TS-force wind Wed. - Fri., so we may lose power again. We're as ready as we'll ever be.

I have sliced ginger as thin as I could, and then boiled it in simple syrup, extracting a lot of flavor. I thought I was making candied ginger, so I slow-boiled it for a long time to tenderize. It never candied properly, but the syrup was a great ginger flavor--quite strong.

He finally had his dream of buying a small farm property in NW IL. Don't know what my sister will do because he was having so much fun with his little farm.
Anyhoo, bless his heart that he cooked for days after my dad died to make sure that holidays were well-fed with traditional and new cooking stuff. Years ago, he did the deepfried turkey. He also had three grills on his patio (plus the fryer), so that he could do the family entertaining. Bless him for catering to all of us with such joy and humor. He made sure I had brussels sprouts at gatherings.
Still in denial and anger stage, so thanks for letting me vent a little.

Matthew was the worst. Had plenty of rain the two weeks ahead of the storm. Ditches and creeks were full.
Saving grace this time around is that we're pretty dry right now. Maybe the first 6 inches will run off.
Don't see any way we could handle 3-4 feet of rain though. Unimaginable.

For ginger juice or onion juice, I pulp in the food processor, then lay a
square of fine cheesecloth over a bowl, pour the liquid and pulp over,
gather up the corners and edges to make a little bag, then twist and
twist the top part to put pressure on the pulp, to get all the juice
out. You need good quality cheesecloth for this; the cheap stuff will
just burst.

Our community lost over 4,000 large trees, mostly pines, but also some old magnolias and a few live oaks. Some friends of ours cut some huge pines in two and used equipment to push them aside far enough that we could get to the house. It was shocking to see the devastation, but two years later everything looks new normal.

Some Drudge link I just went to had a map of areas with higher then normal rainfall the past 30 days. Up to a foot. I'm in one of them, but not in the HC path. Plenty of people in VA and NC got the same overage of rainfall, though. A bunch of south to north rainfall this summer. Over and over and over again.
It might get very interesting for some. Hopefully those living under a tree-line, with a recent history of above average rainfall, get out of Dodge.
High winds, heavy rain, saturated soil, and trees still carrying leaves is a really bad combination.

Heard a woman who is part of a group trying to ban horse eating in the US give an interview not to long ago. She claimed that a big reason for not eating horse is that most horses who would be used as food stock is that they receive a large amount of vaccinations and antibiotics in a pretty unregulated way compared to animals that are raised for food in the US.

Summer here in my neck of fly over country has been weird. June was hot. July was even hotter, plus dry. August has been yoyo-ing between hot and cold -- with lots of rain, which is very unusual. Normally, August is very hot and dry as a bone. Today is a little on the cool side which is why Swedish Meatballs. I don't know if it's the weather or not, but we didn't eat our first home grown tomato until the second week of August, and they have been very sparse. XO Sabin hasn't canned but a very few quarts of maters. Looks like we may actually buy canned tomatoes this winter. Yuck!!!

We're well prepared here, but the 100' pines we haven't taken out (we've removed over a dozen) would probably land on the house in strong winds, what with the ground being soaked all summer. I hate evacuating, but it beats the worse case scenario. One guy here died during Irma after sending his wife and kids to safety. A tree fell on the master bedroom and killed him as he slept.

I hope we can have a general emergency prep thread in the next day or so. Might be helpful.

THIS^^^ Here's a tip right off the bat: In the event you lose power or have to evacuate, turn off your ice maker (pre-evacuation) and as soon as your power goes out, if you don't have a generator, empty the ice compartment into a cooler. People have been known to return home and find the area around their refrigerator soaked and ruined (if you have hardwood flooring).

Salt pork is pork belly with curing and a lot of salt. It's awesome, but not the same. It's a great addition to recipes in small quantities (because of the saltiness). I love it in minestrone.
As Votermom says, pork belly is the original product before it is either cured, salted, or smoked. Harder to find.

I remember when Joe Bastardi predicted landfall of HC Sandy a couple hundred miles out. I seem to recall he named the inlet. One I'd been through. He was only off by one inlet further north, one which I'd also ventured through.
He makes his money now with being accurate, not politically correct. He's worth following for the next couple of days.

They're friendly enough the few times I've interacted with them. She has an adult son who has MS and it's really bad. They used to have a van come over and they'd unload him with a ramp. He was in a wheelchair and it looked pretty advanced. I haven't seen the van in some time so I don't know what's going on. I'm not sure he's even there anymore or if he's even alive.
One time I bumped into the guy and he literally brought up global warming within 10 seconds of the conversation.

Let us know what you think of "The Horse's Mouth" when you finish it. I loved it. Read it several times So amusing. I think there are a couple of people where who like that book, and the movie with the great Alec Guinness is very fine too!

It's all local peeps, including the chick running for office who wants free college and all the other free shit.
The local GOPe is running purely on the tax cuts. That's it. Absolutely no support for the Trump agenda. Never mentions the wall or immigration or tariffs or bringing jobs back. Asshole.

Yeah it was an ESL school I was working at. I knew as a Nun she would be Lefty. She immediately went to the rape/incest extreme of a 12 year old girl to try to defend abortion.

Even if they weren't here for political reasons, it's still immoral for them to be here.
It endangers the legal citizens who are here. It's another case of bleeding heart leftists, like this nun, being generous with other people's money. It condones the breaking of laws for economic reasons. It commits all these immoralities when there are other alternatives, but poses the false dichotomy that this is the *only* alternative.
Stupid junk argument. If she cares that much, she should become a missionary to Mexico. That would be one alternative. Otherwise, she's just a hypocrite.

Yup....during the Barack Mugabe reign of terror, a good friend of mine had a small service business doing quite well. He remarked one day how he was doing pretty good and Barack was not so bad and that he was voting for him on the 2nd go around.
I told him he was a fool and he just wasn't on their radar, yet.
I think the biggest success for President Trump is small business people get it and are supporting him no matter what.
People in need of the government handout, well not so much.
Needless to say, that idiot and I are no longer friends.

I wish I lived in a one license plate state so I could put the Gadsden plate on the other end.
