Food Thread:The Belly Of The (Tasty) Beast, Sex In The City And Russian Layer Cake?
For some strange reason, commenter Bluebell thinks this is the greatest cocktail in the entire cocktail-drinking world, and held her breath and stamped her feet until I posted the recipe. Personally, I think it is way too much work for what shakes out as a fancy Cosmo. I don't drink 'em, but some of you people (probably Mets and Red Sox and "Sex In The City" fans) might...
The recipe claims this makes enough for six drinks, but as Bluebell pointed out, that is a hefty pour, even for tough Yankee fans. It's also pretty sweet, which would suggest a smaller drink, at least for me. Actually it's the sugar that makes it too big a pour, not the alcohol. My martinis and Old Fashioneds are that big, but they aren't sweet.
IngredientsPreparation 1. Several days ahead: Place the sugar, cranberries, 6 strips of orange zest, and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, until the cranberries start to pop open. Pour the vodka into a large pitcher, add the cranberry mixture, and store covered in the refrigerator for at least 2 days and up to 5 days. 2. When ready to serve, strain the vodka mixture, reserving the cranberries and discarding the orange zest. Stir in the cranberry juice cocktail and Triple Sec. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the drink mixture, shake for a full 30 seconds (it's longer than you think!), and strain into martini glasses. Rub the rim of each glass with fresh orange zest, spoon a few cranberries into each glass and serve ice cold.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 6 1 x 3-inch strips orange zest, plus extra for garnish
- 1 cup water
- 1 750ml bottle good vodka
- 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail, preferably tart
- 1/4 cup Triple Sec
- Ice
Chef John is a loon. By design. But still a loon. However, he is a very good cook, and behind the weird vocal tics and strange pacing lies a very useful source of cooking info. Russian Honey Cake sounds great. And way too much work for me. But I am not a very good baker (except for bread), and even worse at fine baking like layer cakes. So someone please make this and invite me over for a slice or three. I'll bring the port.
Okay, I have a vague recollection of this stuff, but not in my house. Maybe on a camping trip with someone else, or just walking past it in the supermarket and pausing in horrid fascination. Anyone remember this stuff? Here's a crazy Russian and a ditzy American tasting canned bread and not being sure what to make of it. Hat Tip: redc1c4, who had it as a kid and blotted out the memory.
This is a very good question, and I have first-hand knowledge that this guy is correct about one of them, and second-hand knowledge that he is correct about a second one. I will defer to The Horde for the tequila tasting....

Bluebell is a lovely woman and her husband is not too intimidating so I'll totally hit on her next time we meet, but that cocktail is silly.
Any cocktail made with vodka is just take something you like to drink and pour vodka in it. Cocktails in general are silly, they're a relic from the days of Prohibition when alcohol tasted awful and you had to gussy it up.
I have said something similar before and some smartypants had a pre-Prohibition cocktail recipe book but that's not the point.

In the Philippines that pork belly would be called lechon. We just had
some 2 nights ago. Of course my wife can't roast an entire pig as would
be traditional, so she uses pork belly. Seasoned with herbs such as
whole segments garlic and long stem lemon grass (very fragrant), which
is then rolled and tied. Placed in a rotisserie until the skin is very
crunchy. Makes a nice gravy too, although Filipinos don't do gravy.

This will be the very first year I haven't roasted a turkey. Because I still have a lame paw, I've ordered a roasted turkey from my local Publix. I'll just have to reheat it on The Day. I'll also have smoked ham and will do all the sides and deserts.
I've scaled down the guests to just us, our son, and our two adopted foreign students. I feel bad for not inviting the elderly couple and some other friends we normally have, but I can only do what I can do.

Cut up rotisserie chicken bits, can of mixed vegetables, some bullion, salt and pepper, etc. Pressure cooked on "soup" for 30 minutes. Uncover and add a bag of egg noodles, fill up to top with broth, and press the saute button. Let it bubble until the noodles are tender, then eat.

One of my dad's Navy buddies and his wife invited me to their house for Thanksgiving one year when I was in Hawaii, and they had Okinawan sweet potato. I'd never had those before, and it remains the only time I've ever had sweet potatoes that I actually liked.
As for traditional Thanksgiving sides, mom does a crumbled cornbread wild rice that's really good.

The Sri Lankan kid is one we sponsored five years ago. He's getting his masters at GA now. And the other kid is one from Zimbabwe.
A couple of years ago, we added a Spanish kid and two from Croatia. It was fun. When the turkey came out of the oven, there was a mad rush to the kitchen to get pics on their cellphones to send home to their families.

What would I dress up as?-another turkey.
I just lost my cell phone and the sound was turned off so turkey is not a bad name for me.
Actually, wrestling with a turkey was an expression from a dear Polish Jewish lady who came her in her 20's to escape the Nazis. She was still making TG dinner for us in her late 70's because her husband had died and she had no children. She was a rather small woman I thought the expression was such a colorful one, so I still use it

cook to taste, then drain most, but not all of the OJ.
add butter and honey (garlic too, if so inclined) and heat until everything is all mixed together and happy.
serve. (you can cut up regular carrots for this, but i'm lazy)

I've been to Okinawa many times and never had this vegetable - sounds very delicious.
By the way, the Okinawans are considered the "county or island cousins" to the Japanese - they are mostly farmers, fishermen, and live stock ranchers - and they are very much more earthy and friendly toward Americans in my experience there. The Japanese, especially those from the upper mainland ("Edonese") - are the elite and these poor Okinawans are the deplorables in a very American type analogy.

There's a more complicated one at Southern living if you search for the term in your favorite search engine. I sort of prefer the simple one, but it's such a staple in that part of the world that no one uses a recipe. It's like cooking rice. People just know what to do, and make modifications to their tastes.
Make it a day or two in advance because it gets better after sitting in the fridge.

That's not a bad price. The last one I did, the cleaned and dressed pig cost about $200. $60 to rent the spit / grill. $80 for the charcoal. That doesn't count what I spent on stuffing and Cornish game hens (we put them inside with the stuffing and cut up apples). I also paid a butcher to come and carve it, since my carving skills are less than zero, especially after drinking beer from 7 AM till 4 or 5 PM when it was ready.

Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
Makes 4 servings
12 ou. Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered depending on size
2 T. olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Parmesan
Nonstick cooking spray for the skillet
Put a 10" cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil in a medium bowl. Season lightly with the salt and pepper. Add the Parm and toss together.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and spray with the cooking spray. Add the sprouts in an even layer. Bake until the sprouts are tender and browned, about 20-25 minutes.
*I had it in my head the sprouts went on top of the Parm, for some reason. Anyhow, it comes out like a big ol' sprout pancake. Remove it as soon as possible to a cutting board and slice it like pizza.

Searched for info on these because they sound interesting. Found this:
Sweet potatoes that have brown, red-orange, or white skin with orange or white flesh are native to Colombia and southern Central America. After Columbus' discoveries, they were brought to Asia, and varieties with white skin and speckled pale purple flesh were developed on the Japanese island of Okinawa. Today, they are widely grown in Hawaii and exported to the United States mainland where they are popular with Asian and Latino communities.

Used to make it for a snack for the kids.
Sugar cookie dough spread thin on a cookie sheet and baked. When cooled, spread with softened cream cheese (or whipped cream) top with fruit, like strawberries, blueberries, sliced bananas. If you like coconut you can sprinkle that on top, too.

there is a Korean yam as well, which you can get at an H-Mart, and my GF adores.
apparently you make soju out of it too.
I dug potatoes yesterday, and made mashed potatoes as well.
The one secret is to use to water you boiled to potatoes in, and it needs to be hot, when you mix it in with the taters as you are mashing them.
I like lumpy potatotes, so I use a pastry cutter. It is pretty much the only use I get out of it too.
A really good recipe is to mash turnips and potatoes together, but you need to cook the turnips separate becasue they take longer to cook

We love them too. They can be a lot of work, but worth it. I try to make a lot so it lasts since you have to put so much time and effort up front.
I have never heard of the sauerkraut and ham hocks version, but the rest is very similar to what I make.
meat, egg, onions, Hungarian sweet paprika, salt, pepper, cooked rice, egg... stuffed into individual cabbage packets.
I usually make a sauce for the base of the dish, and always layer some of the extra odd sized or torn leaves as a bed at the bottom of the casserole dish. Today I cheated because I'm not feeling perfect and just mixed a bunch of stuff in the casserole without making a sauce on another burner. Some sauce, white vinegar, basil, salt/pepper, garlic powder (because I was too lazy to mince garlic), I use both beef and chicken broth to cover the rolls at least halfway up the sides. And I sprinkled a bit of hot pepper flakes before laying the rolls in. For some sweetness, I squirt a bit of ketchup on each roll. Then I baste throughout. Almost 3 hours of baking at a low temp.
Almost done. Smells nice.

Yup. Undercook them and they are unchewable and unappealing. Overcook them, and they are nasty bitter soggy cabbages. Get it just right, and they are kind of sweet.
I steam mine to just-tender, then stir fry with country ham, black sesame seeds, sichuan pepper-salt (sichuan peppercorns toasted in a pan then ground with salt), with a splash of rice wine at the end, and sesame oil folded in after the heat is off.

Hello Ben! Ace sends a rub from her head and cheek, and a mess of purrs.
Short answer, yes. I might nor might not add the cinnamon, depending on how much you like its flavor addition. You can use 3 or so pitted dates for sweetener, or palm date sugar, or agave, or ... whatever you like.
Since almonds in the U.S. are required to be 'pasteurized', try to use organic almonds, due to the way they're processed.
Almond butter takes more food processing time.
The Pioneer Woman makes a case for pre-soaking nuts before roasting/processing. Not sure I'd do that for pecans, but it sounds interesting enough with almonds that I think I'll try it.
Here's the recipe from The Pioneer Woman that goes into good detail about the whole process from nuts to butter:

Trebuchets. We got one, metal-flake cobalt blue; spinner hubs on the winches; flame markings on the heaving beam; named Ewok Fury. We used it to throw Buzzion's corpse into Canada from Detroit. He ended up skipping once into the side of an Algoma freighter.
That was disappointing, but after we fished Buzzion's remains out we flung him into the Windsor Casino parking lot. Eventually.

But all the modern recipes I've seen are exactly as you describe it.. a butterflied pork loin stuffed with herbs and then rolled and wrapped in skin-on pork belly.
Looks delicious! I love pork!
When I was a kid, my grandfather - who was Croatian - would take us to a Croatian picnic every summer where they were spit roasting whole pigs.. yumm.. my love for pork started very young!
One dish my mother would make for Sunday dinner was stuffed breast of veal. I believe it was a tough, cheaper piece of meat, but hours of roasting in the oven made it simply scrumptious. One of these days I will have to go looking for that cut.. I have never seen one in a supermarket my entire adult life.

Don't be intimidated by a brisket (although they can be obstinate, and, very rarely, infuriating.
Trim it, leave about 1/4" of fat on the fat side. Coat with Worchester Sauce or CYM (Cheap Yellow Mustard) and your rub, which can be salt, pepper and granulated garlic up to whatever. (www.texasbbqrub.com has some good options)
Get your smoker going; aim for a temp of 225-250 degrees F. Put the brisket on for around an hour fat-side down. Turn. Monitor brisket temp until it gets past 160 F (this can take a while; 160 is when all the collagen is breaking down, and you never know how long an individual brisket is going to take to break through.)
At this point, double foil the brisket, with some apple cider in the foil, and return to the smoker. You can keep it at 225-250, or jack it to 350 with slightly less quality, but saving time, until the internal temp is 203 to 205. Take it off the smoker, and let it rest, wrapped in towels and placed in a styrofoam cooler for an hour or two.
Cut against the grain. Serve.

There's a $25 cheese making kit on Amazon I'm giving as gifts. Pretty neat looking and great reviews. Make cheese, use whey to continue making cheeses and breads.

Good for you Jane! I did the same when late wife passed - if my boys got a condolence card from someone, they sent a thank you. There were a bunch. The kids will thank us some day.

The cheese was big dry curds and you put sugar on them and ate them. The milk was called Russian cream and had 8% fat content. You could watch it curdle the blood in your veins.

There was that, but throughout the report, the Japanese really had no idea what they were facing - 2 to 4 fleet carriers, plus maybe 4 "special" (escort) carriers?. Nagumo's intelligence was so vague that his decisions, and his hetitations, actually make sense. He really did not know *anything* until his cruiser floatplanes radioed back.

The USN had shot their load and the IJN could have taken Midway for the cost of their 4 carriers and cruisers.

I did that same thing when both my parents died. Kept a list of all the food brought, and every card, flowers, etc. Sent notes to everyone.
I mentioned that at a committee meeting earlier this month at church, and my pastor (who spent a lot of time in NY, MI, and UT), thought I was weird.

One pack cream cheese
One pack blue cheese
Random cheese (shredded cheddar or whatever)
Two - three - four cloves of garlic (whatever you like)
2 - 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce (or as much as you like)
Mix altogether into a ball, set in the fridge to make sure all gels together, get butter knife, and crackers, and eat.
You can also roll the cheeseball in crushed nuts - walnuts, or pecans, or whatever - if you wish. It really is a free-form sort of snack.

All of the Dutch Baby recipes I have seen, which include both Chef John's and Alton Brown's, are more like a sweet version of a popover or Yorkshire pudding than any sort of cake. My wife's favorite topping is thin apple slices sauteed in butter, then mixed with raisins previously soaked in brandy and sugar. Some people just dust with powdered sugar, however.

For any cheeseball, how long do you let it sit out before you serve it? Most of the sad examples I have seen have broken half crackers jutting out from the ball as it was hard as a rock when the guests tried to chisel off a hunk.

How are thank you notes not still a thing? My mom even managed to get us savages to write TY's.
I will note that even nice well-bred adults don't always acknowledge gifts these days. Did you like it? Did you even receive it? I'll get a text a month later.

The recipe i followed had no sugar in it, but was dusted with powdered sugar. It was supposed to have lemon juice drizzled on, but instead I made the blueberry sauce, i added a bit of lemon juice to that.
It wasn't super sweet, which was nice, and it had a softer custard like middle.

I've been experimenting with jacking the temp up to 350 or so after foiling. It takes several hours off. Still a most-of-the-day cook, but ... brisket.
If I could only smoke one animal for the rest of my time, it would be the pig; but if I could only do one cut, t'would be brisket.

That's why I say put it into the fridge to gel together. It will stay cool, but with the cream cheese as a base it will be easy to spread right away.

It would not have changed a thing. The Japanese would have to have abandoned Midway in less than six months if they had taken it. their supply chain was way too long to hold it against the ever increasing might of the US Navy.

I taught our boy from an early age to write them, even if it was just a scrawl and a cute picture.
When Mother died, I found every little note he ever sent her in her things.
When Daddy died (24 years ago), D'oh Boy drew a picture of an airplane and a heart and the word "Papa." He dug a little hole in front of Daddy's headstone and planted it.
