Food Thread: Light, Brief and Lithe Edition [CBD]
Bottles of the barrel-aged liquor will carry the likeness of Gen. George S. Patton, who was known for his rapid deployment of armor troops when he commanded the U.S. Seventh Army and later the Third Army during the war. Known as Patton Armored Diesel, the product borrows its name from a mobile bar that accompanied the general's forces as they crossed France and Germany after D-Day.I wonder what General Patton would have thought? Either pleased that it was booze, or furious that his name was being used for something undignified....
Deep dish pizza isn't really pizza, it's tomato pie. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, because there are versions that are quite good. Just don't call it pizza (Chicago, I'm talking to you...) and all will be well. Here's an interesting and clear recipe from PizzaMaking.com, which is a grand place to poke around if you are at all interested in the art and science of pizza making. Just be sure to read through it before you start. It's for a basic pie, but most people will want to stuff it full of optional good stuff, like meat!
I'm a sucker for time lapse stuff. The accompanying music? Not so much....
Yeah, yeah. Arugula is your trigger for a hipster alert. But it is a very useful green that adds a nice peppery flavor and good texture to things. Just not everything.
¼ cup corn oil
White wine vinegar (cider vinegar is fine too)
½ red or yellow pepper, sliced into thin strips
4 oz. baby arugula Dressing
2 Tbl. finely minced shallot (or Vidalia or similarly sweet onion)
1 Tbl red wine vinegar
1 Tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbl Extra Virgin Olive Oil
salt and pepper to taste Whisk the onion, vinegar and mustard together. Drizzle the olive oil into the mixture as you continue to whisk. It will emulsify, or at least mix nicely. Mix the arugula with the sliced peppers and set aside. In a large non-stick pan, heat the corn oil on medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and toss until they are coated with the oil. Make sure that the potatoes are in a single layer as you cook them. Toss occasionally until the cubes are nicely browned on all sides. Dump immediately into the salad, pour the dressing over everything, toss and serve.

This is the result of the world famous La Tomatina (tomato fight)
fun stuff.
I have been using up my tomatoes, herbs, peppers a lot. It's that time of year.
Made some wonderful stuffed peppers the other night. Five large sweet red and green bell peppers needed picking from my garden upon my return (3 red, 2 green), as well as tomatoes (of course). So I made some brown rice, and mixed in some black beans, some of my tomatoes (that I quickly blanched to skin and chopped), with sauteed onion/garlic, mixed in a bit of shredded cheddar and jack cheese, and some spices/herbs, stuffed them and baked them a bit. Added a few (haha, a lot!) of dashes of hot sauce upon serving, and yummy. We were having grilled salmon, so made them without meat. Was a perfect meal.

More stuff for "fresh from the garden" ideas.
Homemade Tomato Juice
http://bit.ly/2bJhr7e
You can find the recipe buried in this page of recipes from the old newspaper clipping.
The one in the book, from the same kitchen of Peggy Fowler Revels, Woodruff, South Carolina has a few differences noted - there is no water, and the spices are tweaked. Also, this one uses a blender, then sieve, versus a food mill. They both make about 2 quarts. I guess a lot of these cooks/chefs have a simpler version, then a more elaborate and complex version. I wish they would note which they like better. It's probably a time factor, and they may go the extra mile for guests.
3 lbs very ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered
1/ 3 cup chopped onion
1/ 2 cup chopped celery with leaves
1 large sprig parsley
1 bay leaf
1. reduce these items above and simmer for 30 mins
2. remove from heat and let stand for 30 mins, discard parsley and bay leaf
3. process mixture in a blender until smooth, pour through a fine-mesh strainer, and discard solids
4. stir in 1/ 2 tsp salt, 1/ 4 tsp paprika, and 1/ 2 tsp sugar, cover and chill.

Ahh, the food thread!! Happiness!!
I have a roast in the crock pot, simmering away, and I just finished loading my freezer with cookie dough, to be prepared for my kids starting up classes tomorrow-it helps to have stuff on hand when they come in ravenous. The "healthy" oatmeal cookies are actually really good-if you like stuff in your cookies:
2 sticks butter/margarine, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
cream together.
Add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mix until combined.
Flour mixture:
3/4 cup AP flour
3/4 cup White whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons ground flax
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix flours together, then add to butter/egg mixture in thirds, stirring well between addition.
Add 3 cups oatmeal (quick cooking is best), then 1 cup of mixed dried fruit (I like dried cherries, cranberries and raisins) and 3/4 cup chopped walnuts.
Scoop heaping teaspoons onto parchment paper lined baking sheet, and bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes.
Pretend that handfuls are just more healthful.

I just made and canned 24 half pints of pear jam. I have three suggestions:
1) use windfall pears that have been down a while to get to dead ripe to make jam
2) use a corer and peel them then shred them fine (I love my Kitchen-aid shredder by the way)
3) follow the instruction on the pectin box.
Since I used to regularly make the kitchen sticky I now do all my jam cooking outside on a portable propane range. I can scrub everything on the lawn and then hose it down. It makes clean-up wonderful.
Right now I am considering canning more pears (like I need more) or canning tomatoes.
Still not sure.

I've got a lot to post this week. $$$ for Ace. Hubby was away camping, so got busy.
Instead of Chow-Chow or Chutney, another way to use Green Tomatoes up. This looks good.
Green Tomato Sandwich Spread
As the name implies, this is what folks once commonly spread on their sandwiches, hot dogs, and hamburgers. This recipe relies on a food processor to make quick work of chopping, but old-timey recipes call for running the vegetables through a hand-cranked sausage grinder, which gave them the prefect nubby texture that didn't turn mushy when cooked.
This small-batch recipe will keep in the fridge just fine for a couple of weeks without having to heat-seal the jars. It's just enough to handle a small supply of green tomatoes, not a surfeit.
Makes about 3 cups
1 1/ 2 lb green tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 1/ 2 tsp salt
3/ 4 cup sugar
1/ 2 cup white vinegar
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/ 2 cup salad dressing or mayonnaise
2 1/ 2 Tbsp prepared yellow mustard
1/ 4 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
1. Working in batches, pulse tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper in a bowl of a food processor until finely chopped, stopping to scrape down the sides. Do not puree.
2. Pour into a large saucepan, and stir in salt. Cover and let stand for 3 hours. Drain well, and discard the liquid. Return mixture to saucepan, and stir in sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Spoon 1/ 2 cup of the hot mixture into a small bowl. Whisk in flour until smooth; pour into pan. Simmer, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in salad dressing or mayo, mustard, and olives.
5. Cool, cover, and chill. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks.

Just be sure to read through it before you start. It's for a basic pie, but most people will want to stuff it full of optional good stuff, like meat!
cool, thanks.
I was browsing through my new The Pizza Bible ( Tony Gemignani: 11-Time World Pizza Champ ) today. I bought it mostly for ideas, and indeed some of the recipes are time consuming. Especially the various doughs. I did look at the deep dish pizza. I do not have the proper pan for that... yet.

That is exactly what they call pizza in Italy and it is nothing like American pizza. So says guys I knew who made Med cruises.

I've recently purchased a few new "community" cookbooks, for examples:
The Southern Living Community Cookbook: Celebrating Food and Fellowship in the American South
by The Editors of Southern Living Magazine et al.
Link: https://amzn.com/0848743547
and three of the River Road series, one example,
River Road Recipes: The Textbook of Louisiana Cuisine
by Junior League of Baton Rouge
Link: https://amzn.com/0961302682
I have so many others, like Charleston Receipts Repeats, which is a great Low Country/Charleston area community-like cookbook, and another from a local Arizona community.
What is nice about these books is that they usually give back to churches, or charities in the communities. Many were for fund-raising for specific events. They date back to the 1800's. Reading the preface in the Southern Living Community Cookbook, they mention an 1864 cookbook called A Poetical Cook-Book by Maria J. Moss, who they state wrote the first community cookbook. She sold it in Philadelphia to raise money for Civil War field hospitals. They also state in the blurb, that the River Road Recipes from the Junior League of Baton Rouge has sold over 1.3 million copies, resulting in donations in excess of $3 million to local causes.
Of course there are those, like the one I created for my family, that are "written solely as love letters, gifts, and mementos. A reunion cookbook that gathers and memorializes a family's recipes is invaluable. A collection of recipes from the annual dinner on the grounds at a local church is surely some of the best food ever committed to paper. A construction paper cookbook compiled by a group of kindergarteners is priceless. Those cookbooks go right to the heart of the matter...
...As both personal and societal histories community cookbooks are mirrors and projectors, diaries and exhibitions. A defining characteristic of a community cookbook is that they say much more about the contributors and their circumstances than about any intended audience. These books are, at their core, a form of folklore." ~ The Southern Living Community Cookbook: Celebrating Food & Fellowship in the American South by Sheri Castle

I also made a version of Babaganouj the other days.
Equal parts of chopped eggplant and tomatoes, and I use about on large eggplant, and one chopped onion and one chopped jalapeno and cumin and mustard seed, cooked down in a pressure cooker at 15 lbs for about 20 minutes.
Then I cook it down in a pot, to thicken it, and when it is thick as pizza sauce I add the juice of one lime, one teaspoon of salt, and about 1/4 C of tahini.
I have also been working on my own pizza sauce with cooking some sausage into the paste instead of using tahini and cumin. That has been a success.

August is Watermelon time! I had this recently at a family gathering. Refreshing on hot summer days. The hostess made it a lot simpler, and left out the Feta ( shame! ) . She simply cut up the watermelon and added some oil and vinegar (I think Champagne vinegar; light) and some fresh cut basil (instead of mint), salt and pepper. But, below is the classic.
Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/watermelon-salad-feta-and-mint
This easy summer salad is perfect to make for a cookout or party because there's no lettuce to get soggy. Jacques Pepin agrees. His friends Faith Middleton (host of NPR's The Food Schmooze) and veteran publicist Fern Berman once brought a watermelon salad to one of his parties. He loved it and was inspired to create this recipe.
TOTAL TIME: 25 MIN SERVINGS: 12
INGREDIENTS
1/ 3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon Tabasco
1/ 2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
One 8-pound seedless watermelon, scooped into balls with a melon baller or cut into 1 1/ 2-inch chunks ( 10 cups ), chilled
1/ 2 pound feta cheese, crumbled ( 2 cups )
1 1/ 4 cups pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped ( optional )
1 small sweet onion, cut into 1/ 2-inch dice
1 cup coarsely chopped mint leaves
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
In a large bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, salt, Tabasco and pepper. Add the watermelon, feta, olives and onion and toss gently. Garnish with the mint and serve.
NOTES
Although Pepin cuts a small, seedless watermelon into rounds with a melon baller (adding the trimmings to the salad, too, so as not to waste them), you can also chop the watermelon into cubes.
SERVE WITH
For the ultimate summer pitcher drink, try a rose sangria.

August is Watermelon time! I had this recently at a family gathering. Refreshing on hot summer days. The hostess made it a lot simpler, and left out the Feta ( shame! ) . She simply cut up the watermelon and added some oil and vinegar (I think Champagne vinegar; light) and some fresh cut basil (instead of mint), salt and pepper. But, below is the classic.

30-I haven't had tomato in baba ghanouj- but your version sounds interesting. I like roasting the eggplant on the grill, along with some crusty bread. Blend the eggplant, bread, lemon juice, salt and pepper, garlic and tahini together, and then spread on more crusty bread, or pita. That's pretty tasty too.

artisanal 'et, I love those community cookbooks too. I have a whole bunch because I'm a sucker for them. I also used to buy a cookbook from places we would visit but I had to quit that because I just don't have the room.
Anything put out by Southern Living is usually very good. I won't confess to how many of their cookbooks I have, but I will say that of the recipes people ask me for, most are for SL dishes.

I can't wait to make "Mama Dip's" version from the Community cookbook (see after this recipe), which is very different from her other version just below. I love biscuits, and I love sweet potatoes. Sometimes when I make a potato gratin, I will cut in some sweet potatoes too.
Mama Dip's Sweet Potato Biscuits, a Taste of Chapel Hill
http://robinasbell.com/2012/06/mama-dips-sweet-potato-biscuits-a-taste-of-chapel-hill/
Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits
Makes 13
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/ 2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/ 2 teaspoon baking soda
1/ 2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed, cooked sweet potato
3/ 4 cup non-dairy milk, plain
1/ 4 cup canola or other vegetable oil
2 tablespoons molasses
1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly oil a sheet pan. In a large bowl, mix the flours, cinnamon, baking powder and soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, mix the non-dairy milk into the sweet potato until smooth, then stir in oil and molasses.
2. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture, just until combined. Use a 1/4 cup measure, dampened with water to prevent sticking, to scoop portions of batter onto the sheet pan, leaving 2 inches between the biscuits.
3. Bake for 15 minutes, until the bottoms are golden and the biscuits are fluffy and browned. Serve hot with molasses on the side.
-----
The recipe from this same person, Mama Dip aka Mildred Council, in the Community Cookbook was much shorter, using self-rising flour. This is the one I am going to try first.
Makes about 3 dozen
4 cups self-rising flour
1/ 8 tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp sugar
2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1/ 2 cup butter, melted
1 to 1 1/ 4 cups whole milk
All-purpose flour
1 preheat oven to 400 F, lightly grease 2 baking sheets
2 Whisk flour, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in center.
3 Stir together sweet potatoes, butter and 1 cup milk in a large bowl until well blended. Pour into flour mixture, and stir with a fork just until dough comes together and pulls in the dry ingredients. The dough should be soft and sticky, but not wet. Add remaining 1/ 4 cup milk to moisten dough if needed.
4 Sprinkle work surface with all-purpose flour and turn dough out, kneedaing 8-10 times. Pat or roll dough to 3/ 4 inch thickness. Stamp out biscuits with a 2 inch round cutter. Do not twist the cutter, dip cutter in flour if dough sticks. Reshape scraps once. Place biscuits on prepared sheets.
5 Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes or until firm and golden brown.

Jam for Biscuits! - nehva hoid of microwaving jam...
There is a Blackberry Microwave Jam recipe in the Community Cookbook, but I could only find this one, which was similar. Never heard of microwaving to make jam.
MICROWAVE BERRY JAM
http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/microwave-berry-jam-recipe
2 cups berries, sliced if large
1/ 3 to 1/ 2 cup sugar, to taste
1/ 8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. Make sure the bowl is large enough; the berries/sugar shouldn't fill more than 1/ 3 of the bowl, as they'll bubble up quite a bit as they cook.
Cook the berries for 5 minutes in the microwave.
Remove the bowl from the microwave, stir the berries, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir thoroughly. If the mixture hasn't become sauce-like and slightly syrupy, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir to combine any liquid, and refrigerate. The jam will thicken as it cools.
Yield: 1/2 to 3/4 cup jam.
The Community Cookbook used:
1/ 2 to 1 cup sugar
4 cups fresh blackberries
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
to yield about 2 cups
She microwaved sugar on high for 2 mins or until sugar was warm, then stirred in berries, covered the bowl with plastic wrap, folding back one edge to allow steam to escape, then microwaved on high 3 minutes or until sugar dissolved, stirring twice.
She then uncovered the bowl and microwaved again on high for 8-10 minutes more, or until berries were very soft and liquid reduced and thickened slightly.
Then she stirs in the lemon juice, cools, covers and chills overnight.
Refrigerate up to 1 week.

Posted by: Chi at August 28, 2016 04:29 PM (8JEmC)
OK, I looked it up:
The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 C.F.R. 5) state that bourbon made for U.S. consumption must be:
Produced in the United States
Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn
Aged in new, charred oak barrels
Distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume)
Entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume)
Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume)

Jam for Biscuits! - nehva hoid of freezing jam...
From microwaving jam to freezing it. Has anyone tried this?
Frozen Strawberry Freezer Jam
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/frozen-strawberry-freezer-jam
Yield: Makes about 5 cups
The trick is to start out with partially frozen berries, otherwise, you may end up with a more watery version, which you can use as a fruit syrup instead.
Ingredients
6 cups frozen strawberries
1 1/ 2 cups sugar
1 ( 1.59-oz. ) envelope freezer jam pectin
Preparation
1. Place frozen strawberries in refrigerator 4 hours or until partially thawed. ( Some ice crystals should be visible. )
2. Pulse strawberries in a food processor 8 to 12 times or until slightly chunky, stopping to scrape down sides. Place mixture in a medium bowl; stir in sugar, and let stand 15 minutes.
3. Gradually stir in pectin. Stir for 3 minutes, and let stand 30 minutes.
4. Spoon fruit mixture into 1-cup plastic freezer jars, filling to fill line ( about 3/4 inch from top ); wipe jar rims clean. Twist on lids, and place in refrigerator or freezer.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Ball Freezer Jars.

Summer Desserts!
Amazingly fast and no Ice Cream Maker needed! I am going to try this one. Lots of blackberries available right now. If I do not have time to make it, I'll freeze a batch of blackberries if they are sweet.
1-2-3 BLACKBERRY SHERBET
http://www.kitchenlink.com/msgbrd/board_31/2006/MAR/37681.html
4 cups fresh blackberries *
2 cups sugar
2 cups buttermilk
blackberries ( for garnish )
fresh mint sprigs ( for garnish )
Stir together blackberries and sugar in a bowl; let stand 30 minutes.
Process blackberry mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a 9-inch square pan, discarding solids; stir in buttermilk. Cover and freeze 8 hours.
Break frozen mixture into chunks, and place in bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Return to pan; cover and freeze 3 hours or until firm.
Garnish, if desired.
* Two ( 14-ounce ) packages frozen blackberries, thawed, may be substituted for fresh blackberries.
NOTE: You can freeze in an ice-cream maker instead by just pouring the mixture into your maker and following your machines instructions.
Alternatives: Substitute fresh or frozen strawberries, peaches or raspberries for the blackberries.

In solidarity with Italy and to raise my awareness and stuff, I made Spaghetti all'Amatriciana, which is the specialty in the area hit by the earthquake. It's basically hog jowls and pecker cheese in a quick tomato base:
http://tinyurl.com/za3htge
Served it over fresh linguine (Wegman's). It's tasty but I'm not sure if it's worthy of a festival. And yes I am aware that there may be a quality gap between theirs and mine. But apart from the substitution of fatty bacon for guanciale, the canned tomatoes and cheese were both legit Eyetalian.
Today I made a pesto that was heavy with fresh spinach and garlic and pecorino and served it over riccioli.

Yeah, it generally is made without tomatoes Moki, but I have lots of them this year. I wound up the wrong way too, I originally made a "zesty eggplant sandwich spread" recipe that I found on the Food in Jars blog. She likes vinegar far too much for my taste.
There is something about planting a single or two tiny little tomato plants in a fresh tilled garden in May that Every Time makes me say, "no, I have more than enough room. I will plant a few more and it should be fine." And this time of year I run out of jars.

Yeah, yeah. Arugula is your trigger for a hipster alert. But it is a very useful green that adds a nice peppery flavor and good texture to things. Just not everything.
I know, this bothers me. If you've been eating all foods all of your life, and healthy foods (or so they say), or foods you just plain enjoy, all of a sudden you have a label.
It's dumb.

Rum, Cachaca, or aguardiente then?
Traditionally, rum is from molasses, Cachaca is from cane liquor, and aguardiente is made from fermenting and distilling cane bagasse.
I like to think of it as recycling.

I am curious about the pear jam- I don't think I have ever eaten anything like that-is it similar to apple butter or more like a chutney? I am also imagining it with some fried pork chops, dressing and green beans...

Your co-worker is lucky. My neighbors only get some extra tomatoes I cannot eat. Sometimes I give one a small bunch of herbs like a flower arrangement. Peppers? Nobody gets my peppers. I freeze the small hot ones, too, whole.

Pear jam is just shredded pears and lemon juice, pectin and lots of sugar, Moki.
It is in the Sure-Jell pectin box and is really bright and tasty. Fantastic on toast in January.
If you are doing fried pork chops or baked ham, use hot applesauce for the dressing. If you can use a tartish apple like a gravenstein or a cooking apple it is best.

Speaking of WW2, we were greeting members of the congregation as they were leaving church this morning. Rev introduced me to a gentleman in our congregation who is a WW2 vet. They seem scarcer and scarcer now. This gentleman was very nice and seemed like he was still going strong.

Oh man, just the words "tomato pie" take me back home. I haven't had a slice of Philly Tomato Pie in years. It was a routine in my house that my dad would pick up a half Tomato Pie on Fridays from the local Italian shop. So good.

I have to find me some of that Patton bourbon. If nothing but for the bottle.
O/T, just went over and worked on elderly neighbor's riding mower. He was over the other day and mentioned he needed new blades and belts and the shop in town quoted him $250 for parts and labor.
Screw that.

grammie, before you go all hog-wild with the rice pudding and lingonberries, you may want to try tea. Here's my tried-and-true recipe:
1. Boil water (you have this down pat already).
2. Pour boiling water into mug. Drop in a teabag (the Rev can probably help with this if necessary).
3. Let steep 3 minutes, or whatever it says on the box.
As a former newlywed myself, I know it's important to build up a good base of recipes. This one has stood me in good steed for many years now.

Just reviewed taxes by State since it has been a few years since I checked. Some of the more liberal States have been jacking up their liquor and beer taxes.
SC is now #27 on liquor and #7 on beer. WA State is now # 1 on liquor and TN is #1 on beer.

Hi Weasel! The kickoff party went off great. We had close to a hundred people. Thankfully, they were happy to sit outside in the shade.
It wasn't too bad in the shade, but I was running around a lot. I just glugged water all day and I was fine.

There is a WW2 vet that lives around here that comes to the farmer's market that I frequent every week. He has a walker that has a seat built in and he sits in the shade between two vendors and they talk to him all morning.
I asked him once if they were related and he said no, just friends, which is cute because the vendors are probably in their late 20s or early 30s. I always enjoy saying hello to him and I dread the day when he won't be there anymore because you're right, grammie, they are scarcer and scarcer.

I was reading some crap about the thinking of our economic betters, the lords temporal that run the Fed and various economic and financial policy.
It's all the fault of us rubes. We aren't responding properly to their prescriptions. And it's leading to awful things like populism, Trump and Brexit and all this icky anti-immigration sentiment.
So they're talking that they need to really shock us. They want a massive round of deficit spending, and lead us rubes to think it's going to be inflation financed. IOW, make us think they are raw printing money.
You see, us peasants are in a deflationary mindset, and up with that they cannot put. So they're thinking about shock and aweing us rubes into an inflationary mindset.
And then all will be well.

Mrs. M's summer table staple. If your doctor decides that you need to include more rabbit food in your diet, forget tasteless iceberg and other assorted lawnclippings "salad" and give this a try.
Tomatoes and Cucumbers
-------------------------------------------
Cherry tomatoes sliced in half - 1 whole thing
Cucumber (1) peeled and sliced thin- ish
A handful of feta cheese
Cover with EVOO
Sprinkle Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and pepper until you can see it
Combine in a shallow dish, Cover with plastic wrap and stick in the frig until dinner is ready.
Goes great with steak. Or pork. Or chicken.

I got ideas for things to make for a yoot--er, Youth event last week and then other people signed up for stuff first so I had to go with plans B, C, D, etc.
Just delivered a banana cream pie, vanilla cupcakes, butterscotch blondies, choc. coated rice crispy treats, apple squares*, snickerdoodles, and sugar cookies (cut outs, ninjabread men and ninja stars).
Plus I'd stoopidly signed up for snacks for the other kids' Sunday school class. Took cinnamon sugar muffins and bacon cheese biscuits. And those leftovers are now frozen and going to another church function this week.
Now all I have to do is clean the kitchen and report to jury dooooty tomorrow morning...
Apple squares: basically bake an apple pie in a square pan and cut it into smaller squares. And then don't let it fall in the car if you want to avoid delivering applesauce.

To finance corporate debt. Because well pensions are precious.
People need to go on massive strike.
It is in a way our fault because these assholes are criminals and the people let them walk.
But yes punishment is coming and it will be much worse than what the Jackson Assholes are planning.
It's all the fault of us rubes. We aren't responding properly to their prescriptions. And it's leading to awful things like populism, Trump and Brexit and all this icky anti-immigration sentiment.
So they're talking that they need to really shock us. They want a massive round of deficit spending, and lead us rubes to think it's going to be inflation financed. IOW, make us think they are raw printing money.
You see, us peasants are in a deflationary mindset, and up with that they cannot put. So they're thinking about shock and aweing us rubes into an inflationary mindset.
And then all will be well.

Grape tomatoes, not cherry.

Here's a summer-ish veggie blend I like with steak:
1 zucchini squash
1/2 red bell pepper
1 yellow crookneck squash
2-3 carrots
dill and parsley
olive oil
salt and pepper
butter
1-2 cloves garlic
slice carrots, and squashes, quartering the fat end of the yellow squash - dice bell pepper - set yellow squash aside and sprinkle with dill and parsley - boil carrots and sauté zucchini and peppers - drain carrots and add to sauté pan with yellow squash - salt and pepper to taste - add butter and garlic, heat until garlic is done, mix and serve

Vic, after I posted I realized I was wrong with the name. Honestly, because I look for pure rye I don't recall seeing rnr on a shelf at home. But I know that the prices are much higher in Canada mainly due to taxes. At home you can spend upwards of $40 for a 24 pack of budweiser cans.

I usually save my old Costco coffee cans, wash them out, then cover them with Christmas paper. I crumple up wax paper in the bottom and wrap each type of cookie individually before I put them in the cans.
Not super sophisticated, but cheap! And it protects the cookies well.

And the ground flaxseed meal is from the DASH diet stuff, to help lower blood pressure and protect kidneys through diet. Kidlet and I need all the help we can get in this respect.Posted by: Moki
Found out something interesting recently. It was last Valentine's Day, or maybe the year before, but there was a big thing about 'Watermelon is Viagra11!!!.' Which of course was pretty much false but got lots of attention.
Anyway, if you take the outer skin of watermelon, that is where the 'good stuff' is. To be technical, vasodilators are substances that open up your arteries. Watermelon, especially the skin is full of such stuff. Vasodilators are in prescription drugs for high blood pressure. Also in those expensive blue pills. Lower blood pressure is good, too low, not good. Most people don't have too low a blood pressure.
Anyway, the 'good stuff' in watermelon is called 'Citrulline'. I bought some recently and got out my bp cuff. Within one hour I dropped from 120/73 to 99/63. So I can vouch for its effect.
Also, it tastes kinda on the sweet side so it didn't effect the taste of the tea I drank it with. Dosage appears to be four grams per day. Not very expensive. Available on Amazon.

Vic, does wifey do pur?e or an N-G tube?
If she eats pur?e, I recommend checking out some pur?e molds. When
the chicken looks like a cutlet and not like pur?e it makes a world of
difference at mealtime.
Posted by: San Franpsycho at August 28, 2016 06:03 PM (EZebt)
I could not read most of that due to the ? triangles. But wifey can not eat anything because she can not swallow. She has to get all her nutrition in liquid form through a feeding tube.

About to watch Prometheus to finish up the Alien marathon atarted on Friday. I figured out they landed on a different planet than Alien. Also the timeline for Alien is almost 300 years.
I'm assuming Alien Covenent will be the last installment and David and the hot chick will land on the planet where Alien begins to complete the story arc.
Oh and the reason why Ripleyi was cloned was because she had the queen in her when she jumped into the Milton fire (T2 ripoff). The company cloned her for the queen and played with her genetics to make her a Alien-Human clone.
God help us if Alien Covenent is not the last considering Prometheus was 2079 plus 10 years of hyper sleep. Alien is 2122. Aliens was 57 years later. Alien3 was too terrible to mention. Alien Resurrection was 200 years after she died.
Point is that it is a safe guess to how Alien Covenent will go and end.

I had a dream last week to grind up parched barley and put it in my bread dough.
So I got up and wrote it down, and then baked a loaf of bread with parched barley in it. It is a different flavor than adding cracked wheat.
Has anyone had an experience with this?

Anyone who prefers thinner steaks have some input?
My brothers and I split a few cows every year and the steaks are an inch or a little less. I put a dry cast iron pan under the broiler for 10 or 15 minutes, salt, pepper and a little olive oil on the steak, slap it in the pan for 2 minutes 30 seconds each side. Pull it out and melt butter or pesto on it. If it's too rare you can cook it slightly to bring it where you want it rather than over cooking it.

A tomato fight is a good idea. I'm sure they would cut back if food supplies were tight. Allows venting. Allows flirting and touching. The red reminds people what real carnage is. I'm sure everyone is more relaxed and in a better mood for a few days. Nine months latter a batch of babies are born.

I'm getting old, so I guess it's ok to repeat myself:
On a recent EMT, Vic posted a story about the second to last Howard Johnson's closing. It's in (was) in Bangor Maine. The family and I ate there last summer on one of our grand escapades. Howard Johnson's was an important development in American dining: up until then, American's diet was very bland. HoJo's introduced American's to exotic cuisine like French onion soup. The executive chef who helped roll out Continental cuisine in industrial sized portions was a young Frenchman named Jacques Pepin. In order to go to work for the chain, he had to turn down another job: JFK's personal chef.

Recipe, too late for the coffee thread last week or whenever that was:
Heat up 4-6 ounces of Chameleon Cold Brew Mocha coffee concentrate in the microwave. Stir in a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste). Add as much cream as you like. At this point you may need to heat it a bit more.
Yum! I tell myself this is lower carb than a traditional mocha latte.
Careful! The Chameleon Cold Brew is high-octane! You might want to dilute it, but I'm hard-core so I don't.

I'm probably in a unique position here, having actually worked in a HoJo's in Williamsburg (VA, not NY). There is nothing, absolutely nothing, about HoJo's that can remotely be described as an important gastronomic development.
Possibly cholera, but you get my drift.

Dark chocolate is also alleged to be effective at lower blood pressure numbers. In fact there are so many things, common ordinary good tasting things that work I'm amazed that so many people have the problem.
Not Donald Trump though. Just read his physician report, his bp is phenomenal for his age. I'd love to see Hillary Clinton's numbers. I imagine she's only one more lamp throwing episode away from her next stroke.

My goal of eating less as well as less simple carbs have been destroyed by the buffet at my tennis club. It's so convenient to just put it on my tab and not have to worry about making dinner for myself. On the menu, strip steak, mahi mahi, crawfish etoufee , various chicken dishes , rice, mashers, string beans , two different pastas, salad bar, soup du jour , desserts. I do avoid the menu set up for the kids of fries, chicken tenders, Mac and cheese and pizza. That I can't not get my money's worth is the problem. It's the part redneck in me.

How in the he'll will this work? They were all in hypersleep until they crashed on the prison planet.
Sounds like Ripley is trying to muddle too much again in the Alien movies like Alien3 and Resurrection. Sounds like Sig is jealous of a younger pretty Naomi Repeepee.
So the movie will be them in hypersleep and a Alien face raping Michael Biehn, who by the way has always been an underrated and under utilized actor IMO, while Nest and Ripley sleep.
Ugh!

That's how tell which cylinder isn't getting "spark."
You disconnect each plug wire a little bit.

I think I bought my first chess set and book at a Stuckey's while on vacation when I was about 10.
I already knew how to play checkers, but I had seen chess in TV shows and movies and was fascinated by the different pieces. Nobody I knew played it, so I decided to teach myself.

Deep dish pizza is not Chicago Pizza, but it is a common misconception. There are only three restaurants (more now because franchise) that specialize in that pie - Pizzaria Uno, Pizzaria Due and Lou Malnati's. All full of tourists. As a Chicagoan for half my life, I never walked through the doors. Real Chicago pizza is a very thin, crispy crust piled high with fresh meats and veggies plus several pounds of whole milk mozzarella, not the part skim crapola you find everywhere else.

I have SO MANY ultra-rare/unique records which are simply impossible to find as digital files that I have had on my "To Do" list for years converting them to mp3s or m4as or whatever.
But I never get around to it, because I always think I will do a poor job of it -- not sure I trust myself to make high0-enough quality recordings that I won't later think, "Gee, I could have transferred this better -- now I've got to do it all over again!"
I have a very high-quality 1960s turntable and stereo console, but they are hooked up to some crappy-ish speakers, so it's hard to know just how good the stereo actually is.
But as far as I know, I now own the correct cables for connecting the stereo directly to the computer, and a good "recording" program, so in theory I could do it. Maybe this rainy winter -- presuming it rains. I deem it a two-month-long project.
I strove mightily to find everything I could on mp3, but I simply have way, way too many things that have NEVER been digitized, and are thus unfindable. So I must do it myself.

I don't know if rotary phones will work anymore on land lines. My dad
has one and he can only pick up calls on it but can't dial out.
Posted by: L, Elle at August 28, 2016 07:32 PM (6IPEM)
-------------------That's because they've gone almost exclusively to DTMF (Dual Tone Modulated Frequency). The old rotary phones they basically counted the clicks. A little more complex than than, but that's what they were doing.

Oh shit. Vent windows, mail delivered twice a day, newspapers with comic pages that were funny and had crossword puzzles, jumbles, and chess columns, bench seats, cars I could maintain myself, and so much more. I suspect we could put together a Horde list of these things for publication. It would probably strike a lot of chords.

rickl *My family stayed in Howard Johnsons motels and ate in their restaurants while on vacation many times when I was a kid. Holiday Inns, too.*
Ya'll musta been rich. When we went on vacation the only way we every stayed at a Holiday Inn was if all the mom & pop places around failed my mother's inspection. (Yeah, she used to have them give her the room key to see what it looked like before she would agree to a night's stay.)

In an emergency if you didn't have a feeler gauge, you could gap your points with a matchbook cover. Roughly 17 thousandths of an inch.

My daughter found my dad's old record collection and asked if she could sell them: 33's of music from the 40's; 50's and 60's with artists like Cab Calloway; Henri Mancini; Steve and Edie and on and on. Great stuff, but we are so wrapped up in itunes we don't even touch our CDs anymore. All the record dealers told her to, " throw them right out, " because no one buys that kind of music any more.
That both shocks and saddens me.

Do NOT take that advice. That would be the equivalent of burning books.
Just because no one wants them today doesn't mean they won't be of interest in the future.

She should hold on to them and buy a turntable and play them herself. It's such a retro cool thing to do and such great music too. I'm actually thinking now to buy a turntable and some of my favorite music on vinyl for my favorite nephew as a Christmas gift.

The horde just gave me a great Christmas gift idea for Dad. Mom (RIP) has an old turntable/speakers in two really nice wood consuls. I thing the tubes need work and it needs cleaned under there, maybe some new acoustic cloth on the front. (It's from the last 50's) Maybe I can find someone in town to refurbish them. Dad mentioned on Fathers Day he would like to use it again.

Tube amplifiers are the best. You don't get as much "clipping" as you do with a solid state amp. Clipping is when you drive the device so hard that the sine wave "clips" at the top and bottom of the wave. In other words, it doesn't reproduce the sound as exactly.

A high school journalism/media teacher told me last year that the kids are into vinyl records.
I was in charge of that school's float for a big parade, and the float featured the Beatles on a giant turntable. I joked with the teacher that the kids probably didn't know what the turntable was, and he said, you'd be surprised.
The kids came up with great costumes too.

Infidel, I rebuilt some old Boses from the 70's with parts from a website I lost. If you do a repair speaker search I'm sure you'll find something pretty reasonably priced to do it yourself. It's not as big a deal as I thought it would be.

Daddypop's diner in Hatboro, PA. Guy Fieri actually featured it on one of his shows, but I wasn't impressed by the segment. It was all like, "Get a load of these wacky Philadelphians with their scrapple fetish".
It's a great old-fashioned classic diner. They only serve breakfast and lunch. No dinner. And yes, you can get a meal without scrapple.
