Food Thread: A Tale Of Two Restaurants...And Tacos!
We walked into Cocina Madrigal, a new restaurant in an industrial part of Phoenix. We had made a reservation (look! I can learn!) so we weren't worried, and I was intrigued by the uniformly excellent reviews.
Except...the young lady who had taken the reservation earlier that day had forgotten to note it in their system, and we were once again without a table for dinner! But Leo Madrigal runs a better restaurant than the pompous asses of Mariposa, and he had trained his employees in customer service. The greeter cheerfully took care of us, with a gentle warning that the restaurant was crowded and that there may be an extended wait for the food. We wandered over to the bar (packed) hoping to order a drink, and while we waited we observed the waiters and bus boys and greeter and yes, the owner, bussing tables and serving food and taking orders, all at top speed with smiles on their faces and a cheerful word for every customer. Was there an extended wait? Nope. And the Margaritas were good while we waited! We ordered simply....a bowl of guacamole and those tacos above the fold. The guacamole was excellent, and those tacos were great. Perfectly in balance, without too much of anything and without the big piles of cheese that ruin so many tacos I have eaten. Well, not ruin, but the cheese, while tasty, masks the other flavors, and Mr. Madrigal's kitchen was making top notch pork and beef and fish and chicken and shrimp, so why not feature that? Oh, those beans? They were fantastic! We had the pleasure of the owner's company for a few minutes after we finished our excellent meal. We chatted about this and that, and his pride in his employees and his food was clear, and absolutely deserved. How did one man create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in which to showcase his culinary and hospitality skills, and another create a restaurant that made us feel so unwelcome that I felt compelled to write about it? I think we all have some ideas about that, but it comes down to not losing that human connection to one's customers. I am sure that the food at Mariposa is fine, although when I go back to Sedona (and I will, because it is beautiful) I will carefully steer clear. But when I am next in Phoenix? I'm going straight to Cocina Madrigal from the airport (less than 10 minutes away). And I hope any of you in the area for business or pleasure and in need of a restaurant for a simple and excellent meal will give it a shot. This isn't white tablecloth dining...it is spartan and simple. But the food and service are topnotch, and the prices are extremely reasonable, and that is a combination that is hard to beat. [No, he didn't comp our meal (nor should he have)]Okay...it's old, but it's also weird. Butter cookies with peanuts? I guess? Actually, it is Canadian peanut butter, courtesy of commenter "Vendette," who seems to have some strange connection to America's hat.
I like hot sauces, and I can't recall one that I did not like, aside from the really stupid ones made from pure ghost pepper or scotch bonnets. That is pure masochism and food virtue signalling. Here's a fun video about the production of the most famous hot sauce of them all...How the Tabasco Factory Makes 700,000 Bottles of Hot Sauce Per Day. I like Tabasco sauce, although I have very limited experience with their flavors other than the classic one. Speaking of hot sauces, I really enjoy the regional ones, and will seek out those bottles at breakfast joints and more casual restaurants when i am traveling. How about you? Any regional favorites?
TMI. Way, way TMI!
So you just ate a pile of hot chicken. Guess what happens in about 24 hours?
If you thought that hot chicken you just braved burned going in, imagine what it's gonna feel like on its way out. Sure, all the hot flashes and cold sweats were a real gas, when you were showing off around a table of like-minded thrill-seekers. But as with so many difficult challenges in life, you'll be doing battle with the demons of intestinal fortitude completely alone. (Unless you're into some weird group-elimination thing we don't even want to know about.)
Oops! Hat Tip: TxMarko
I am vastly amused by British recipes (yes, I am simple). The cooking vernacular is a strange mix of all sorts of things, like "courgette" for zucchini, or "runny honey" for...um...honey. I guess the British also used solidified honey so they have to specify, but it still makes me chuckle.
Roast pork with peaches, garlic roast potatoes and courgette gratin
Anyway, this is a pretty standard pork-with-fruit dish, but I noticed the potato variety as a new one to me. I take British potatoes very seriously, because they are, in the main, better than ours. Fried, roasted, stewed...they're usually great.
Food and cooking tips, Large-breasted Muscovy ducks, well-marbled NY strips, bartenders who use vermouth in Martinis, crisp bacon (although I am moving toward less crisp), thick and fluffy pita, and good tomatoes that aren't square, pale pink and covered with Mestizo E.coli: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Any advocacy of French Toast with syrup will result in disciplinary action up to and including being nuked from orbit. And yes, shaking a Manhattan is blasphemy...it's in the Bible!

Funny, but the quality and diversity of Mexican food have improved dramatically the last few decades in the border region. Used to be just "border Mex" - which is great, but basic. Now there are many more interesting items or twists on many menus (regional dishes, birria, etc.).
Still not very many truly regional Mexican restaurants, though. LA has a few. Mexican cuisine is actually one of the largest and best in the world, but very little of it makes it to restaurants in the US.

The lettuce garden always produces more than we can use, and this year I started doing "protein style" (the In n Out name for lettuce subbing for bun with a burger) at home with grilled burgers. Outstanding (lettuce picked 10 minutes before eating does have better flavor and crispness).
Of course Vietnamese and some Thai dishes have always used lettuce as the "tortilla", with great success.

I'm not a taco purist but that seems like calling a choclatini a martini. A taco is ground mystery meat, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.

And I tried making no knead bread with my new sourdough starter. I thought it was okay at first. I took it out of the oven, then came back later and found it deflated. I put it back in for 15 minutes. It tastes fine.

Yep. I remember going to a Yucatan restaurant in Puerto Rico and having a great dish - it was pork cooked in oranges and some sort of spices. I've never seen it in any other Mexican restaurant I've been to.
The ceviche was also quite good.

Doubled the amount of lemon juice and zest.
It was as good as what I remember having in Rome, where I originally fell in like with the dish.
Our meyer lemons are extremely tasty.
So now I have another way to use them. Added pickled lemons to the product line-up this year (also make preserves, limoncello, and salted/preserved lemons). Pickled slices are great on baked or grilled fish, or chicken.

Went to brunch today with FiL and MiL up the road in their retirement community in PA. Nothing special about the food -- standard Sunday brunch fare -- but FiL mentioned he was beginning to forget things (he turns 91 in two months) and MiL ventured that she was receiving transfusions for low iron in her blood (she's 89). I take it as my job to keep things light and humorous, but I also made a point of inquiring of FiL about things that I knew he had done in younger years, just to boost his spirits.

I like spicy food, but the hottest thing which I have ever eaten was when I was in my mid twenties. It was some Thai vegetable. (I was a vegetarian at the time) It burned my mouth. I don't recall when happened at the other end The owners of the restaurant (it was new) must not have acclimated to the food tastes of many Americans yet.

Achiote pork chops (grilled) are easy and very tasty. Just look for the little box of achiote paste in a Latin grocery store. Recipes are simple and easy to find online. Marinate the chops, nice version of pork chops if you're looking for variety.

The advantage with the lettuce wrapped "tacos" would be lower carbs than with tortillas and you'd get a better idea of the flavors of the filling(s). Worth giving it a try, I guess.

Yes, the low-carb is nice, but the lettuce was actually pretty flavorful and added a bit of texture, so it worked well on its own.

MILD AND CREAMY SAUERKRAUT
In a moderate saucepan with lid, fry 8 slices thick bacon until crisp. Leave grease in pan; drain bacon, crumble and set aside. Saute 1 medium onion (chopped) in bacon grease just until tender. Add 2-lbs. sauerkraut (bagged or canned); mix thoroughly. Stir in 1.25 cups unsweetened applesauce (half of a 24-oz. jar). Bring to simmer; then cover and simmer all day (at least 4 hours); the longer the creamier. Alternately, this long stretch of cooking can happen in an oven, or in a slow cooker overnight. Serve warm. Yummy on grilled bratwurst and hotdogs also.

I need to find a diversified source for hot sauces here in DE, or order bottles of them online. The garden variety grocery stores' cartel appear to have settled on Texas Pete varieties, Cholula varieties, and Tabasco varieties. It wasn't that way here ten years ago.
I prefer a sauce with moderate "heat" that brings other flavors along with it. Those do not cut it.

1) Yummm, tacos.
I love them all, but my all time fav are the potato cheese ones - deep fried. Heaven.
2) received a nice gift from one of my brothers last week. The Southerner's Cookbook: Recipes, Wisdom, and Stories from the Editors of Garden and Gun.
3) Played with spiralizing zucchini into noodles this week. I used both green and yellow in an asian Zucchini Noodle Salad with Tahini-Ginger Dressing
Tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, honey, hot sauce (I used Sriracha) garlic, toasted sesame oil, broccoli, zucchini, red bell pepper, carrot scallions, toasted sesame seeds. There are many variations of this, but this one was particularly good.
4) made pot roast for the weekend. And a side of green and yellow (string) beans. Simple. Comforting. A nice baguette roll to soak up the juices. Wine.
bon appetit y'all.

I also looked up a lot of baked goods that use vinegar.
Some people may already have noted, here, using vinegar in chocolate chip cookies (or plain ole vinegar cookies), but it can be used in so much more.
Cider or white are the top choices.
Lots of stuff out there on the web about it if you're interested. The King Flour folks (I have their huge cookie companion cookbook) have some info on it online too.
It reacts with the baking soda and lifts up the baked goods a bit more than without the vinegar. Fun stuff.

It's not a problem for me, but I'm not their daughter although age wise I could be.
It's very challenging-these health issues when you have a couple where the wife has done all the cooking and she can't now because of mobility issues (It's hard for her to stand that long) and they suddenly have to change their entire diet and he has to do the cooking. So sometimes when I go over to visit they might say "This is the breakfast crumb cake that ______just banned from our house" and they look at it sadly.
But I give them credit. They roll their eyes and try to maintain a sense of humor about it.

She gave me directions - some no name hole in the wall place off the beaten path and we were the only folks there that didn't speak spanish/mexican. No menu, no nothing. They served whatever they cooked. It was terrific. The folks were terrific. I sat on a stone wall with everyone else and had a ball. I think a few beers were passed back and forth also.

About nine miles SW of Marble Canyon, AZ on route US-89A is Cliff Dwellers Lodge, at which we stayed on two different evenings twenty years ago when we visited both rims of the Grand Canyon ( I preferred the North Rim, myself). At that time it had NO in-room phones and NO television reception whatsoever. I took no small delight in revealing those facts to our two teenage kids as we were about to set out for it after dinner for our first night's stay -- they were appalled.
There's a restaurant there, too, run by the same outfit, but the menu was pedestrian. What was spectacular and well worth seeing were the night skies: clear and far reaching views in all directions save to the north (cliffs, duh).

Buy them fresh and do them fairly quickly after you buy them. I have never had a problem with that.
I have the attachment to my mixer, but they have some decent ones you can anchor to your counter - but you have to buy the good quality, heavier brand.
Last resort use a sharp peeler, but use the ones shaped like a T, not the straight ones. I have done it this way and made "ribbons" like fettucine instead of spaghetti shaped.
Mine were very sturdy. I re-heated leftovers for lunch by quickly flashing them in a hot pan. They still held their texture.
I don't use the seed section. Maybe that is what is giving you trouble? I spiral until the seed core, which I toss. It's more sour.

I've stayed there too!
The stars were magnificent. We sat outside our little room and drank a couple of cheap but very cold beers and watched the sun set behind us.
Went over to Monument Valley afterwards and stayed at the View Hotel. Very expensive, like 300 plus bucks per night, but the rooms all have an unobstructed view of the valley. We brought a cooler with us (it's dry) and sat on the deck for about 7 hours. It was amazing, and well worth the expense

Been on the low carb keto thing since after Thanskgiving and have lost close to 15 pounds. A go-to recipe is an oven-baked fajita.
Sautee a whole lot of onions, red and green peppers with spices of your choice (I use spicy paprika and chipotle chilis) until half cooked. Then bury some slices of boneless skinless breasteses of chicken underneath them, and bake in the oven at 350 for about 2025 minutes.
Yum.

That's why my wife is teaching me how to cook. She has mobility issues and can't stand long enough to cook most of the time. Before I go out of town for work again, I'm going to make her up a bunch of meals that she can just reheat in the microwave. A big pot of chili, big bowl of Shepard's Pie, some Spaghetti and a pork shoulder for pulled pork. We have a bunch of microwavable bowls with lids that can go from freezer to microwave.
In the meantime, she'll be complaining about me "Living the life of Rielly" because I'll be eating out all the time...and I don't do fast food as a rule, so its usually sit down restaurant or grills.

I decided after last weekend's camping trip that the "spice kit" container that we take on our troop's monthly camping trips needs an owner and active management by one of our scouts. It's overloaded with some items -- chili powder, for example -- and devoid of others one would expect -- cinnamon, for example.
The principles and actions of leavening agents are something that I'll personally resurrect my chemistry and baking background to explain to them, too. That, and the concept of "al dente" as applied to pasta.

Kale on the other hand, I wouldn't feed that to my pig, if I had one.
I think one of the 'rons had the best recipe for Kale...boil it up, then throw it on the compost pile.

but, one thing that was complete culture shock to me, just visiting Bullhead City a few times: outside of Taco Bell, maybe Del Taco and maybe Chipotle (which I can't stand), they have NO major Mexican food restaurant chains out there. No El Torito, no Acapulco. Nothin'.
I have tried this place and it was good, but something of an exotic experience for me:

Mrs. Eez has been doing that taco-in-lettuce thing for years, excellent way of doing it !
That peanut butter cookie recipe seems close to the one in the Moron Cookbook; from Tonypete as I recall, and insofar as my limited menu-French allows, though I don't see oatmeal in the ingredients, or the rice krispies I typically use ... I usually make a couple-three hundred of them every year at Christmas to hand out by the paper-platefull to all and sundry ... quite a few go to Amish families we buy produce from during the growing season.
My incredibly whitebread upbringing has left me hotsauce-impaired, I am afraid; Mrs Eez is more adventurous.
One year she made a batch that was just terrifying, neither of us could deal with it - I took a couple of jars to work and gave them to a cast-iron-lined cow-orker, the bleepard ate a half-pint of it with a spoon and pronounced it "mild". Jeebus.

I pretty much like peanuts in anything. Chopped up on Thai food. Straight out of the shell. Peanut butter cookies (real or Nutter Butter). Sammiches with strawberry jelly. Reese's cups. Tag-a-longs.
The other day I stopped and got little some candy at a place where they still do the penny candy thing and I got her those old school Chick-o-sticks, the old school peanut butter bars that have those really crispy layers in them, and some Mary Jane's.
Alas I could eat none of them, because I'm on a diet and my life sucks.

CBD: I will look for that Mexi restaurant someday when I'm passing through Sedona, which I very much want to visit as it's one spot in Arizona I think I wouldn't mind living in someday. Thanks for the review.
And finally, re the stories of hot stuff on the way out: I consider myself very fortunate in that regard. I guess my body does a good job of sopping up the really spicy stuff, because although I've eaten some extremely spicy dishes, I've never had anything feel uncomfortable on the way out. Warm, yes, but always comfortably so.

Okay, so here's The Best Hot Sauce in the Entire Universe.
Say, "Thank you, naturalfake." You might as well get that out of the way cuz you're gonna want to thank me after you try it.
It's called....
Marie Sharp "Smokin' Marie Sauce"
It's a sauce from Belize that made from smoked habanero peppers and a few other things.
Hot but not too hot and balanced by a wonderful smokey taste and smell.
Just great stuff. Makes everything better.
Buy it now.
Now!
You don't even have to fly to Belize. It's available on Amazon.

There's a restaurant there, too, run by the same outfit, but the menu was pedestrian. What was spectacular and well worth seeing were the night skies: clear and far reaching views in all directions save to the north (cliffs, duh).

Been there! Actually, we had breakfast at the restaurant and did not spend the night. We were on a scouting trip to Kanab. And the food was pedestrian. Edible and pricey but nothing special. But the cliffs there (the Vermillion Cliffs) are stunning and I can imagine the night skies are wonderfully clear, as most of them are in this part of the world.

And I know some people don't like Tabasco. I'd bet it's at least partially because they've only had it stale. It does seem to weaken a bit after a month or so.
My recommendation, try some right out of a fresh-brewed bottle. It definitely at least seems thicker and more flavorful at that time. You might still not be crazy about it but it's the best way to try it IMHO.

FWIW, CBD I remember you said that pastry was a challenge for you. It was for me too for a long time. My mom used a pastry cutter for the shortening. Tried that, also cutting in with knives. Finally tried fingers, which I figured would overwork the pastry, but that turned out to be the trick. YMMV.

The Pine-Scented Druid
1 oz Grande Liqueur de Sapins
1 oz Gin (use Navy Strength)
1 oz Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo is best)
1 oz fresh lime juice
Shake with ice. Strain into glass. Garnish with cherry (Luxardo Maraschino cherries are the shizznizzle)
Those of you with some cocktail know-how will recognize this as a variation on the "Last Word".
Sapin liqueur has some similarities to Chartreuse (more Yellow than Green) but is also brewed with fir buds. So, you get a really nice, oily pine taste and scent just making it's presence known in the after-taste. Delicious. I think I like it better than the "Last Word". And I luvz me some Last Word.
And Sapin make a nice digestif all by it's lonesome.
But, beware....it's 110 Proof.

Very easy, with a rib eye cut into pieces, salted, peppered and seared in olive oil, make the chappagetti and neoguri noodles, waiting until the noodles are cooked before draining part of the water and then adding the seasonings. Top with the seared steak and then enjoy!!

Any particular spices you're going to add to the wine along with sour cream to make the sauce?

The microplane does a great job on lemon zest, too.
This IS the Food Thread, right?

I hear ya on that one! Did you ever go up river from Moab? Maybe visit Red Cliffs Inn? They used to shoot a lot of movies in that area. Spectacular scenery.

Pork tenderloin w/ garlic & black pepper, roasted red 'taters, homemade applesauce.
We were not troubled with putting away leftovers.

Urp!
Garbanzo beans figure prominently. They appear on at least steps 1-10.

We had Armadillo chicken for dinner. It's supposed to be Amarillo chicken, but I really don't know why it's called that.

You, on the other hand, slip a fresh road-killed 'dillo into the recipe every now and then, right?

Red Cliffs Inn? They used to shoot a lot of movies in that area.
Spectacular scenery.
I did not but I agree on the spectacular scenery on the Colorado river. The wind got into the 75 Coleman pop-up I was camping in a little much. Never enough time to spend to appreciate everything even if you live there, I imagine.

Okay, now you're just funnin' me.
What's next, a snipe hunt?

Sounds like a great place to go backpacking Krebs.

Someday, maybe. I'd have to watch out for those vortices and galactic wormholes, though

Sedona supposedly has a spiritual energy vortex. I think it's actually a spiritual bunghole.
Years ago we went into a hamburger restaurant there. The snotty (owner? blue jean clad maitre d'?) led us past unoccupied tables back to one wedged next to the bathrooms and waiter station. After being ignored for 30 minutes, we walked across the street to a Mexican place, got immediate service and had a good old time.
There is a sickness in that town.

Maybe the snotty restaurant thing is a business strategy. Start acting exclusive, and you'll become exclusive. Start treating the customers like crap, and they'll think they deserve it.

It is a prefect match between person and object.
I bought Mrs D a S&W .380 that, frankly felt really good just to hold and point. A range session is complete and I have to report that it is an excellent piece.
Sometimes man and machine come together and its just the right fit. Yes, a .380 isn't a 9mm or a .45 but when you can center and shoot without even thinking about it and keep everything in the small circle, its worth noting.
And keeping.
It will become my new personal carry piece.

President Trump - whose diet is often a rotation of steaks, burgers and meatloaf - faces a potential shock as he prepares to travel to India, where Hindus are the majority and cows are revered as sacred.

Enchantment Resort in Sedona--the most beautiful tennis resort in the great state of Arizona. The head pro, Nelson Banes, is a great guy and hitting with him for an hour is a fun and exhausting experience.
