Food Thread: Steak: Maybe The Government Won't Screw It Up!
I'll cut to the chase. Boycott Penzey's Spices. They have about 50 stores across 23 states. Tell all of your friends who live near a store or purchase on-line to stop buying from them. Hell...stop strangers on the street and ask them to buy their spices elsewhere. About Republicans
The truth of our time is we’ve arrived at the point where there’s no way to respect the nonsense the Republican Party is promoting and have any hope of overcoming the problems we as a nation and we as a planet face. Given the choice between saving America and planet Earth or saving the feelings of Republican voters, we are choosing to side with saving our country and our world. I’m sorry it’s come to this. And no, there is no HATE!!! in any of this. There is a whole lot of propaganda at the heart of much of how Republican voters have been steered away from conservative values to what they now seem all too happy to vote for. The thing to remember about propaganda is that it doesn’t just misinform, it also works to make people immune from the truth by convincing them any facts that counter their propaganda are nothing more than HATE!!! But we really have no hate for Republican voters. None at all.
Bill Penzey is a liar. Remember in January 2022, he sent out an email renaming their MLK Jr. weekend sale to "Republicans are racist weekend." That sounds like hate to me! His smug virtue signalling that his motives are as pure as the driven snow, and it's only the evil Republicans who are doing bad things, is a bit much. I wonder whether the contraction of his business during Covid was a result of a difficult business climate, or his store policies that I would bet included all of the insanity of masking and 6 foot separation and one-way aisles and mandatory rectal swabbing... Besides, most Americans cooked at home a lot more during the Covid lunacy. I would have guessed that a spice store would have done well! But it doesn't matter. In spite of his childish protestations that there is no hate...there is plenty of hate, and we should respond accordingly. Buy your spices at the local Indian convenience store, The Spice House, or any of hundreds of places that don't hate you. [Hat Tip: dhmosquito]
Here is an interesting example of a dish that tastes very good, but the texture is a bit odd because of the radically different sizes of the ingredients. Baby spinach is tasty...peas are tasty...pesto as a dressing really works! Pesto Pea Salad But the spinach doesn't capture the peas, so there are two discrete foods on one's fork unless one is very, very diligent with fork technique. It's still scrumptious (is this the first use of that word on AoSHQ?), but it needs a bit of work. Oh...pinenuts are stupidly expensive and are often sourced from China, so I used pistachios in both the pesto and as the garnish for the salad. Cashews also work great in pesto.
How to eat a steak.
Good butter, and Flap Meat...whatever the hell that is...just send it, Broccolini that isn't $6/bunch, garlic...lots of garlic!, well-marbled hanger steaks and elk chops to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Who are those poor deluded souls who shake their Manhattans? These are the same people who drink fine bourbon with coke, and probably shake red wine with ice too. My and the world's patience has run out. Shaken Manhattans henceforth will be banished to the land of Long Island Ice Teas and Frozen Strawberry Margaritas. And yes, I used to demand fancy bourbon, but let's face it, $1,200 for a bottle of bourbon is just stupid, insulting, and a ghastly affront to most people's palates and wallets. I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

If, in fact, all inspectors are doing is evaluating the amount of marbling, then that should easily be automatable, and therefore much more consistent. Methinks those inspectors had better find other work, because they're in real danger of being made obsolete with some simple software.

Penzey's been a raving lunatic for quite a few years now. His offspring used to own the Spice House but sold it off to someone, as I recollect, who was also sympatico when it came to political views.

also, I invented, ( don't check ), a new way to cook pasta.
Bring the water to a boil, add the pasta, bring back to a boil, and let the f'r sit for 30 minutes.
Cooked, drain and stuff it up your cannoli.

I was on the Penzey's mailing list for awhile, but then started getting spammed with their political crap. I told them to knock it off, but they ignored me, so I desubscribed. At least the honored that request.
Penzey is an outright liar when he says they don't hate anyone. If you can't shut your f***ing gob enough to stop pushing your deranged and unsolicited political opinions, then hate really does have a home at your outfit.

Food Safety PSA. Don't read if you have a weak stomach.
I made chili last night for the wife and I and we both got severe food poisoning from it. I mean poltergeist projectile vomiting level stuff. I used hamburger that I had vacuum sealed and frozen six months ago. I thawed the package out and it looked darker than normal. It smelled good so I went ahead and cooked it up. Huge mistake.
I have never had an issue vacuum sealing and freezing anything until last night. My new motto is if looks a little bit off or wrong or smells even a bit off it goes in the trash. We are both recovered now but that was an extremely uncomfortable 16 hours.
There are 8 more packages of that hamburger in the freezer that are going in the trash Wednesday night.

My understanding is that they grade the whole carcass before butchering. There will end up being a lot of variability in the marbling once it’s cut up.

I regularly see prime cuts marked as choice at Walmart. Forget the label you can look at the freaking thing.
I also think some of the stuff labeled as Prime is a joke. A lot of the time they label stuff as Prime, then they discount it and it’s cheaper than the choice but if you look at the steak itself, there’s a reason for that.
I think choice is where you get the best steaks at the supermarket if you want prime go to a steakhouse.

Grading meat remotely is the first of the very few steps required to replace USDA workers with AI. If AI can match radiologists ability in finding cancer in xray images, they certainly can match and exceed USDA workers in grading cuts of meat. It would also take all the variability out of grading meat. Let the USDA work from home and end up letting them stay at home without pay. win, win. AI, 100% reproducible results every time.

We try to figure out when the meat department puts the yellow "priced to sell" stickers on meats. It means the cuts are near the "sell by" date or are on that date. Typically there's a pretty good discount if you intend to cook it in the next day or so.

The Dem party was more reasonable in the 90s - after the Soviets had collapsed but before they found Chinese style fascism.
But even 10 years ago the issues were radically different. Pretty much any leftist would agree a tranny was mentally ill for example.

I hope no one minds, but I'm gonna shill for a pure food/flours storehouse I've been patronizing lately. Their offerings are fantastic - not inexpensive but, for us at least, worth the extra coin.
Farmer's Storehouse:
https://t.ly/TkJI9
This guy is committed to supporting chemical free grains and produce and thus, supports those farmers that grow products for him. He carries other products like San Marzano Italian tomatoes and the like. We are working with him to eventually expand his lines into a full service grocery but, as we are finding out, that's a process.
Up until rather recently, I didn't give two ***** about the non-GMO, additive laden food - but I've changed my mind. Given what I've learned and experienced with the vaccines and medicine pushed upon us, I figure Big Food is in the same boat.

Since I did a Safeway shop today (after Trader Joe's yesterday) and since they gave me a cheap chicken deal (8 piece for $6.50 - so 16 pieces, $13, which is a "buy" price for me), for my football watching hoarde, we are having the Safeway fried chicken with roasted zucchini (olive oil, s&p, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast - use parm if you can have dairy), clementines and moon drop grapes (yeah, when the weird grape is cheaper than regular grapes at Safeway, we're gonna try the weird grape), and my daughter's homemade whole wheat sourdough bread.
PS - Trader Joe's olive oil is now cheaper than Aldi's - you can get the 33oz pure olive oil for $10.99 (vs Aldi's $6.50 for 16.9 oz)...so, now I have another reason to go to TJ's every 2 months, over and above their dairy free meatballs...

I go to the Latino or international aisle for spices. I remember my mom told me way back when I was a kid that the PX was much better on spices versus the civilian stores such as Kroger, Safeway, etc. Easily one of the highest markup in those stores is spices.

You guys have been great with kitchen appliance advice ( hence my beautiful red Kitchen Aide mixer I now own) . Here is another question. Cast iron or stainless? I have thrown out the last non stick I ever plan to own. They don’t hold up, I’m concerned about the variety of chemicals in them and I’m looking for skillets. Have a good bit of stainless pots etc so looking for advice and experience regarding alternatives.

38 We try to figure out when the meat department puts the yellow "priced to sell" stickers on meats. It means the cuts are near the "sell by" date or are on that date. Typically there's a pretty good discount if you intend to cook it in the next day or so.

Did that at Safeway today...got 2 2lb pork loins for $4 each today...could have had pork tenderloins for $5/each, too, but I had stuffed my freezer from Trader Joe's, so was only getting the best deal...
Be careful though...if the air pocket in the meat (for the ground stuff) ever is firmly inflated up, don't buy...that's when bacteria might be an issue.

Posted by: Jen the original
For me it's a decided, "Yes!"
I use both but for different dishes. Nothing acidic in the cast iron for example. And, no fish in the cast iron either if I'm going to fry it.
I'm fortunate - I have my Grammi's antique Wagner and Griswold pans. They are damn near 100 years old probably. No soap shall ever touch them.

They don’t hold up, I’m concerned about the variety of chemicals in them and I’m looking for skillets. Have a good bit of stainless pots etc so looking for advice and experience regarding alternatives.
I suggest a third option: carbon steel. It seasons like cast iron (it's the same material) but is lighter (3 mm vs 8-9 mm).
I have been VERY happy with my 12" Matfer. Once seasoned, protein doesn't stick like it does with stainless.
Non-stick pans are okay for some things (I have a nice set from Allclad) but it's easy to scorch them and no matter how careful you are, at some point, they'll start to stick.

Food hygiene. A lot of the really cheap stuff was sourced from third world countries where nightsoil is a common fertilizer. And yes, infections such as samonella, e. coli, etc. have been traced to spices used in the past.
The big brands, for liability reasons if nothing else, have a bit better quality control despite the same overseas sourcing. Sometimes that includes irradiation, drying techniques, etc. to kill the various bacteria etc. that can tag along with the spice.
For many of the spices, one is almost better off growing them yourself. then you know what is in them.

FWIW, back when nukes were new, they experimented quite a bit with irradiation of food products including meats, potatoes, spices, etc.
Prolonged shelf life substantially with very little change to palatability. Also pretty much put paid to a lot of human pathogens.
The usual suspects got involved and turned irradiation of food into a dirty word so only a few lines of food products, including the spice industry, use it today. Super Targets, once upon a time, sold some irradiated meat that had a very long shelf life.

If you're leaning towards cast iron make sure you research carbon steel pans. They perform like cast iron (okay, really close) and are lighter.
Hint: make sure you look at the flat area of your skillets rather than the total diameter. I have a carbon steel pan that has a very small 'flat' and bought another with more 'flat' cooking area. That was an expensive mistake on my part.

80 I had A Chardonnay with ribeye recently just to try it out. There are arguments that a buttery. Chardonnay would go well with Ribeye because it’s fatty. The test was kind of a bust because I wasn’t impressed with the Chardonnay at all.
Of course I go with red such as Cabernet almost always when eating steak, but I can see the argument for a big Chardonnay. I know a lot of people reflexively say they don’t like Chardonnay but one thing you can’t say is it isn’t a very big wine if it’s made a certain style it’s definitely is big or bolder than a lot of reds. The problem is there’s so much bad chard out there. but on the other hand, some of the most revered wines are from that varietal.

Then bunless burgers, just served with knife and fork.
You could feel like a Pittsburghian and serve fries on top of it as a carb...nice burger, fries, (cheese for the able), toppings.
Decadent and vacay...

Lodge cast iron is American made and always has been. Except for the enamel used in their enameled pieces like Dutch ovens which was done in China. That changed last year. Lodge began a new line, USA Enamel, all done in Tennessee. We ordered their 6 quart Dutch oven. (The Amazon price is the same as ordering direct from Lodge.) Our enameled dutch oven, Calphalon, is made in China and I just don't trust anything Chinese made, especially cookware. That piece started to chip almost from the first use While Le Cruset users often talk about decades of use.
I use enameled cast iron more and more often for soups and stews and beans. This piece is 300 bucks (free delivery) but we regard it as a possible matter of health and expect it to be a lifetime item that can be passed on to the next generation like our regular cast iron cookware. It's and anniversary and Christmas present to ourselves.

Basil is purportedly a fly repellent too. We cut a big 'ol sprig and put it on a table outside when we're chilling.
Sort of works. Not 100% But if you sort of "smear" it on the furniture and your clothes the flies do tend to keep their distance.
Plus it doesn't smell like bug spray.

Figured I'd annoy CBD by buying maple butter from Trader Joe's (like a spreadable pure maple syrup - it was organic, if those look, but that was the only way to get it spreadable-like). I figure it will be a great fall PB and M sandwich (vs J or honey). I'm deciding if I'm gonna try it as an interior cake filling or glaze - I thought it could be nice with quite a few flavor combos...and something new...

After a year or so of diligent thrift shopping, I finally found a small, enameled Dutch oven that was not made in Chyna.
It's a two quart, looks like. Made in Belgium by Descoware. It's perfectly sized for two people, and for a round loaf of sourdough.
$25.00, but I paid it gladly. It's in great shape.

I don't think ours gets hot enough, unless we're willing to run it for an hour on pre-heat. (It's a decade old, well used.)
Plus I'm a klutz in the kitchen sometimes. But, yea the newer stoves can run iron pans.
That said... I wonder if an induction burner would work? I think so.

We've been going through kitchen stuff, especially cookware, and streamlining. The teflon items were the first to go. I have doubts about it and these were scraped up. Even the Calphalon aluminum didn't wear well. We wouldn't even give them away, they just went to the dump. Cast iron takes care of most of our needs along with some old long proven steel pieces, USA made.
The USA made cookware is usually much more expensive but holds up. I like the idea that after a lifetime of use it can be passed along to a future generation and continue to make delicious meals.

45 What is the difference between a choice cut and a prime cut?
It basically comes down to marbling. More marbling means more tender and flavorful meat.
Posted by: Archimedes at September 08, 2024 04:22 PM (xCA6C)
This. But also CBD correctly points out the lack of tendon in the cut. One of my favorite California steak houses, The Hitching Post, puts butter knives on their table. Ask for a steak knife and they laugh. A prime steak needs nothing more than a butter knife. Forks are optional, too, as demonstrated by the cutie in that video...

It really depends on the use, I use cast iron pans, but I am big, my wife is tiny so she can't flip around, say, a Lodge pan. I have old Wagner pans but they are still heavier than she likes. Also a lot of people have been abused over not taking care of a treasured seasoning on a cast iron pan by OCD Pricks who forget that cast iron is easy to season well.
A nice ceramic lined dutch oven is good too, there are nice french ones but they are pricey.
I have heard good things about carbon steel since it is much lighter, but I never used them, someone else can tell you how they work
My only problem with stainless frying pans is that they discolor, which is ugly to me. I have one, and use it rarely, but it has a thick heavy bottom designed to hold and spread the heat evenly. Which means you have to take the time to preheat.
for cake pans and muffins and loaf pans I like the mild steel ones that can season up like a good cast iron frying pan. Once you get that they need just a wipe of oil to release your bread

They are indeed lighter, and they distribute heat wonderfully, but they are also more difficult to season than cast iron, which I think is really easy.

I have an electric grinder, I mostly use it to grind wheat berries for a whole meal flour that I add into my bread dough. It is too heavy for a regular loaf but it makes a nice "wheat" bread when I use a couple of cups in a loaf.
I have also used it for rice flour for gruel and oat groats.
I use a coffee grinder to grind up malted grain like rye malt

I have an electric grinder, I mostly use it to grind wheat berries for a whole meal flour that I add into my bread dough. It is too heavy for a regular loaf but it makes a nice "wheat" bread when I use a couple of cups in a loaf.
I have also used it for rice flour for gruel and oat groats.
I use a coffee grinder to grind up malted grain like rye malt

Ben Had, I also keep a small bottle of cheap rum with anise and star anise soakikng in it, and I will use that for mini tarts that I make with pears and pear jam. It seems to "broaden" the flavor to the rough pastry, which I tend to find sort of bland

Sounds good - since I have a veg forward kid, and it's squash season, I made a roasted butternut squash "taco" filling this week (a vegan recipe that roasted it with olive oil and all the taco spices and a little cornstarch). I figured she'd have that in her taco, but nope. Everyone loved it, including her...but as a side dish.
I got acorn squash (and another butternut) this week b/c they were cheap. I'm gonna have a pork carnitas taco night, and I have an apple salsa (from a farm)...I may try again with the acorn squash roasted as taco filling/side, b/c squash and apple should be great too...

I've never had ice cubes sprout up like that, but I'm more of a clear ice sphere guy.
I have one right now in my drink of the evening, a rum old fashioned -- with equal parts Plantation 20th anniversary, Foursquare Touchstone, and Plantation Guyana (aged in Teeling Irish whiskey casks.)
That video makes me wish I had a steak. Looks really nice and tender, the way that very pretty young woman is easily ripping off great chunks of it.

A first!
I had a BBQ Mishap that had never happened to me before.
Earlier this last week I had BBQ'd a rather fatty point brisket. It came out perfect. Everyone was happy. Yum yum yum!
So, last night I was going to grill some Prime Adjacent Choice steaks that were thick so I set the WPG at 600* for a nice deep fast sear.
I through the steaks on and had a few minutes so i went inside to finish up the salad, and-
after I came out and the entire inside of the grill was a roaring fire.
Apparently, the brisket sweated out a ton of fat that had spread throughout the grill and created a blazing inferno. Never had that happen before, buuuuut I'll probably clean things out after I do a brisket from now on.
Anyway, the steaks were...um, darker than we like however the interior was a perfect medium rare.
Que sera sera and all that.

The cut is called differently in odd places like Kentucky...
"bottom sirloin butt, Newport steak, or California cut) is beef cut that’s taken from the bottom sirloin part. The “tri” comes from triangle because this cut is shaped like a triangle. In fact, in some areas, it’s more popular as “triangle roast.” ’"

Related - Martini Farmer, tri tip of course is there, but the butchers don't cut it up as such (they probably grind it). But you're missing something without it. Easy to prepare, inexpensive good beef experience.

Mrs. JTB and I consider ourselves fortunate to be able to splurge on more expensive ingredients and cookware. Even though retired we are pretty frugal and can afford the extra costs. Also, we turn better, healthier cooking into a hobby or game. It's something we do together. The Lodge dutch oven I mentioned above is a one time extravagance. Unless I drop the thing on concrete, it will last for decades. Even maintaining our cast iron pieces is part of the game. (I take the same approach with cleaning and maintaining my firearms.)

I just bought some Pork loin and boneless breasts for $1.99 / lb. I sliced a few boneless chops, but I ground up 4 lbs of the pork loin. It is great as a substitute for beef in Spaghetti, Chili, and burgers. Use BBQ sauce and it's a pork BBQ burger.

Kindltot,
Thanks for the milling suggestions. We aren't at that point (yet) but it is line with our general approach which includes canning/preserving, lacto-fermenting veggies, etc. Fortunately, our usual house temperature works well for fermenting. And as a sauerkraut fanatic, that is helpful. Hell, I can make a meal out of some fresh baked sourdough bread and fermented pickles.

I did ground pork this week in my kids' favorite version - egg roll bowl.
For every lb of ground pork cooked and drained, use a full bag of preshredded coleslaw with carrots and some green onion, and then your desired amount of soy sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper. If you want crunch, top with some wonton strips (I forgot these - kids didn't care) and serve over rice. Cheap and easy. And mostly healthy, if you stay light on the saucing. Dinner is done in about 25 minutes.

Joe (sorry folks for the SoCal geek out), I've never had Harris beef (though I've smelled the place many times while passing by - it really oughta be quite odorific right now during this heat wave). The over-priced/generally not worth it local grocery store (walking distance) carries it. They do have sales, I should pay attention and get some.

Tonypete,
Thanks for the link to the Farmer's Storehouse site. As we do more of our baked goods at home and other cooking, this is the direction and attitude we are taking. I doubt we would go for our own mill but we are willing to pay more for the best ingredients. Plus, it's just the two of us so it's not like we have to feed the third army as it approaches Berlin.
PS: I expect to get lost in that website.

Right there with you.
Might be making a purchase soon in fact.

rhom - If you can walk to the over-priced grocery store, consider the fuel cost savings and treat yourself. I've had their ribeyes and TBones. I see on their website they offer both choice and prime grades. I might be mismembering, but back when I was getting their steaks semi-regularly, someone told me they opted out of the USDA grading program due to cost and general inconvenience. In any event, treat yourself...and for God sakes do NOT pair it, or any red meat, with Chardonnay!!

I'd do some checking around for people who split sides of beef.
The places around here are no selling boxes of cuts.
Around here they are not grain fed; but, I like the beef we've been eating from open range beef.

I have my last prime Wagyu chuck roast is the crock pot. I bought two previously and they are good. I haven't seen them put any more out. Last one, I ate roast for awhile then made soup. I think I may still have a jar in the freezer.

HEB in Texas sells the US wayu beef stuff. I got one of them when they had them on sale, best chuck roast I ever made. Sadly they are very expensive and I won't buy them unless they put them on sale.

Thanks Joe - and don't worry about the wine pairing. A black peppery zin is ideal, though of course good cab or malbec will do. Lost my source for peppery zin (Sunce, up in Sonoma, Russian River Valley technically but too far east for pinot). There was one plot that produced the most amazing zin, almost like you'd ground black pepper into it. It screamed "beef!!" at you when you tasted it.

Oh chard has its place. Of course there's no wine I don't like, so there's that. For specific dishes the oaked up butter bombs are fine, though I usually prefer those that have only seen steel, and they go with many different kinds of food. Riverbench in Santa Maria has great unoaked chard, for those lucky enough to live near there or be traveling through soon.

It has its place on my table when I'm doing pernil, a pork roast that involves a half head of garlic mashed with oregano and a bit of citrus. A chardonnay chilled to just above freezing cleans the palate better than a cold pilsner, IMO..

Rhomboid, you probably have to go above my normal price point to get a good chard. When I get spendy on a bottle, I go for a red variety that I know I'll enjoy.

My first cheeseburger was when the family across the street took me to McDonald's drive through, and with no warning at all I upchucked it all over the three of us in the back seat. They still had golden arches back then.

Oh no! Did it turn you off from McDonalds for ever?
My first fast food cheeseburger was either Roy Rogers or McDonalds. I felt like Roy Rogers burgers and fried chicken were tops. When they were bought out and started vanishing, it was rough. One trip I found out you can still find them on the gas stops on the way in and out of NYC! So we stopped and loaded up on them. Tasted the same as I remembered, mmmm.

You can slice the loin, pound it thin, and do an egg wash then coat it with bread crumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese (2:1). Fry it and serve it with pretty much anything.
I fry it in olive oil which I cut a bit with corn oil, because it can be too strong for the mild pork.

231 - Zinfandel was my mother's varietal of choice. I was most recently impressed by one called Eccentric. Today's NY strip will be paired with a Hayes Valley seven year-old cabernet. I've had it before, and at $10 a bottle, it's the cheapest seven year-old cab you'll find anywhere..

I figured if any thread will find this amusing, the food thread will...There's a site called "Tailgates for Trump," encouraging people to host tailgates, where people can eat tasty food and encourage freinds attending to register to vote. Seems like a nice idea.
The site has recipes, the names of which I thought you'd find amusing:
Donald Trump's Spicy MAGA-rita
Tim Walz's Creamy Horse Sauce
Kamala Harris' Tuna Meltdown
Kamala's Unburdened by what has Bean Casserole
Nancy Pelosi's Gin-soaked Drizzle Cake
Jill Biden's Breakfast Tacos
Hunter's Christmas Crack
Hochul's Dirty Old Manhattan
Buttigieg's Booty Jigglin' XL Hot Dog Buns
AOC's Green New Dip
Hunter's Christmas Crack
The Clinton's Cooler
I might have to make some of these for Election Night.

I can't get into squash as a filling for tacos or ravioli and such. It's just too, something. Thick? Carby mouthfeel, which is too much for me with a tortilla or pasta. It kinda gets stuck in my throat.
And yet, I would eat pierogies all day long. Not sure why they seem different.
Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at September 08, 2024 05:56 PM (OX9vb)
Undercooked squash can be dry.
It is garden season so I have been cooking up tomatoes and summer squash (from the volunteers) with onions and garlic for breakfast. I cook it down and then crack an egg on it, though I could also cook it all with potatoes.
Done that way, I bet it would do well in tacos with rice. You could cook your meat in with it too, and make burritos

Step by step JTB. For me it was bread then sauerkraut, then Kimchi, then apple cider vinegar and then yogurt.
FWiW I soak the whole meal overnight with a pinch of yeast to help it break down and foam up. It makes a pound of yeast go further, breaks up the phytic acid which I am told is important, and it makes the loaf rise better. When it is cold in the kitchen I can put in a small scoop of malt too.

I grew my own steaks once. Bought 6 ~500# steers, kept them for a year, Butchered the one that got killed by lightning (not really. IRS don't need to know). They were tasty.

Fresh ravioli from Borgatti's on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx (actually on 187th St.), cooked with sage and brown butter is a revelation!

When I was young, my mother used to make stuffed tomatoes and other veggies in the fall, and she would serve them with pasta sauced with browned butter and paprika. That's childhood comfort food. I add a dash of cayenne these days. I also put that on popcorn.

261 ... "don't know if you've found her yet but you and your wife would enjoy Mary's Nest YouTube channel. I don't think there's anything about whole food cooking that she doesn't know."
Hi bluebell,
Yep. I've seen a lot of her YT videos and have her cookbook. Her roast chicken recipe is superb. And I like her approach to getting the most value and healthy benefit from the food. Her approach reminds me a bit of both my grandmothers.

You can make popcorn in a pyrex bowl in the microwave. You have to put a lid over it, but you can do it dry, or you can put a pat of butter in it.
You get a fair number of old maids, but not more than using oil on the stove, and it is cheaper than the microwave popcorn you get in the bags.

AZ deplorable, I like the pre cook bacon plan.

I found out the cheese mix can be made early so a time saver when I make them again.

>>> Neither is coconut. I make popcorn with that, and the stuff smokes seriously.

I learned the hard way NOT to fry with coconut oil! Filled my whole kitchen with smoke I use avocado oil now and love it.

Did poppers here tonight as well, in fact everything including desert on the grill. A beautiful evening to be outside in Michigan, we are debating Angels Envy, Buffalo Trace, or Laphroig Quarter Cask after the vino is gone.

Bourbon recommendation. Jimmy Red from High Wire Distillery in Charleston SC. It's made with a a local heritage corn variety from John's Island, Jimmy red corn. Very smooth. Likely will be hard to find with out a good bourbon man.
