CBD-Less Food Thread

crappies.jpg

*****


fish fry.jpg

CBD contacted me at about 2:30PM looking for help. Seems he celebrated Friday so hard that he can't get out of bed.

So you have me and this quickly prepared but delicious Food Thread.

As many of you know I reside in the upper Mid-West. We enjoy fish at our home. So instead of buying fish, Mrs. MH kicks me out of the house to bring back some fresh fish. One of those fish would be the Black Crappie.

Here is a recipe that we enjoy. It isn't fried fish, but it is pretty crunch nevertheless.

1 lb fresh crappie fillets
1 egg or sub Evaporated milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
2/3 cup crushed corn flakes
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. pepper
Kosher salt to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Combine flour and pepper in a shallow bowl and mix well
Beat the egg in another small bowl, add 2 tsp of water and mix it well
Mix crushed corn flakes, Parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper in a separate bowl
Sprinkle fillets with Kosher salt
Dredge fillets first in flour mixture, then egg mixture then in corn flakes mixture
Place coated fillets on a baking sheet coated with cooking oil spray
Bake 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes.

Don't have fresh Crappies or bluegills or perch. Cod and Haddock work well also. I've never tried this recipe with trout or salmon. So I'm not sure what the results would be. Pan fried Brookies with skin on don't need anything else. But, that's a food thread for another day.

In the Upper Mid-West the Catholics brought with them the fish fry on Friday nights. A typical fish fry here consists of fish, cole slaw, French fries and bread/role.

Your Misanthropic gourmet loves cabbage. Here's a recipe for cole slaw from Mrs. MH's grandmother that's very good.

Cole Slaw
1 head cabbage shredded
2-3 carrots shredded
1 small onion minced
Mix veggies in a large bowl

Sauce
2/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup salad oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp celery seed
Salt & pepper to taste

Boil dressing 1 minute. Pour over salad and mix well, it can be served warm or cold. Our preference is cold.

French fries, fried potatoes, hash browns all go well with this meal along with buttered dark rye bread. Wash all of it down with a cold beer of your choice, it's a damn fine meal.

Us Lutherans can only add this to the meal.

Don't worry I wouldn't eat it either.


Food news? Well there is this little tidbit. Regarding tipping restaurant workers.

For years, the restaurant industry has thrown legal challenge after legal challenge at a Labor Department regulation that bars kitchen workers from sharing in tips. The fight stretches all the way back to 2010, when the agency responded to a court ruling that allowed an Oregon restaurant to give cooks and dishwashers pooled tips by dashing out a federal law that prohibited the practice nationwide. Suffice it to say trade groups like the National Restaurant Association were displeased with the move, which was essentially a rogue act without congressional approval. But in September, the industry lost its final lower-court appeal, leaving the group with one option: Go harass the Supreme Court.


Since we've covered the "fish fry" might as well see what Uncle Sam has going on. The gubmint has put out their latest advice.

The Food and Drug Administration issued its “final advice” on fish and shellfish this week, warning against eating some species and encouraging Americans to eat three servings a week of others.

The federal agency gave particular attention to pregnant and breastfeeding women, and in less than 24 hours the Center for Science in the Public Interest said the FDA’s advice is bad medicine.

The FDA reaffirmed its 2014 advice with this week’s final advice and recommends adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women, should eat 4-ounce servings of “low-mercury” fish and/or shellfish at least two or three times per week.

“However, all fish contain at least traces of mercury, which can be harmful to the brain and nervous system if a person is exposed to too much of it over time,” according to the FDA’s final advice


Get well CBD.

But not the ones from Kellogg's. Use a house brand; besides they are cheaper.

The coleslaw recipe looks good, but since I'd be the only one eating it, no dice. I regularly try out coleslaws at any buffet I go to, or get it as a side dish.

Just as a matter of personal preference, I don't like it that some restaurants want to require the wait staff to share their tips with others. If I leave a tip, I want it to go to the one that served me.

But, what I like even less is federal agencies promulgating regulations outside of their legal authority.

37 I used to love orange ruffie. I would lightly bread them and do them on the grill. Unfortunately when we lost our Harris Teeter we lost fresh fish. We have a local fish market down in the "bad side of town" but the odor in there is so bad you can hardly walk in so I don't get any fish there.


I wish I had more opportunity to go fishing but when went to buy a boat I found that State and local taxes were going to eat my lunch so I gave it up. I get "fresh fish" now when I go down to GA and fish with my little brother.

In Japan, at the tempura restaurants, once you've eaten a whole fish, say like a small flatfish, the cook will take the remaining skeleton and fry it.

Sounds gross and prickly, but actually it's delightful. Tastes like the best fish flavored potato chips evah!

54 On the restaurant & tipping issue, that sure seems like something a state should be regulating if indeed regulations are required.

I want departments of health to be involved at the local level, inspecting restaurants for cleanliness and safety. There's no way I can tell that as a customer in the front of the house. I know the libertarian way would be to let the market decide but I don't want to go home with norovirus or salmonella or ecoli along with my fish fry.

Unless I get the feeling that my waiter/waitress is a SJW and I'm better off filling in the tip spot on the receipt with a 15% minimum and letting it go at that. Nowadays you will find yourself internet famous if they use your blank tip as ammo against you for not tipping. The cash disappears.

Posted by: Guy Mohawk at January 22, 2017 04:22 PM (ODxAs)

81 Tipping in the casinos is a perennial issue. In the pits (blackjack etc.) all tips are pooled and split among the table employees, based on hours worked. In the poker rooms, dealers keep their own tokes. Cocktail waitresses/waiters give a portion of their tips to the bartenders. And in the restaurants, the waitstaff keeps all they earn.

And then what I've just described varies somewhat from casino to casino. So of curse the gubmint comes up with yet another one size fits all policy. Sigh.

97 Technical questions for the Food Thread Horde:

I started baking bacon to minimize the effort required to fry it properly. This made it very easy to pour off the bacon grease into a container for later use. I found that baking works pretty well for sausage patties as well, so the question is is the grease you get from sausage as universally reusable as pure bacon grease?

I never re-use sausage grease. Too highly and distinctively seasoned to be useful for much, and generally has too much liquid that is not grease, because it's not like you're crisping the sausage all the way through.

It's not that it's against the law for you to tip the cook. But, what some places were doing is requiring the waiters/waitresses to split their tips with the cooks, busboys, etc. So, the feds put out a reg saying that the restaurants were not allowed to take the tips away from the wait staff and redistribute them to the other employees.

If you want to personally hand money to the cook, busboy, greeter, etc, it is still legal. So far.

172 I really like a cole slaw I got from Ronni Lundi's cookbook. Very simple dressing (mayo plus small amounts of half-and-half, salt, sugar, and pepper), and just cabbage. But the real secret is that you shave the cap age into super-thin slivers. Somehow this seems to take away the bitter edge of the cabbage, and it's a pleasure to eat. But the thin shaving is a pain, so I don't make it much. You want a super-sharp, super-thin knife (or, even better, a Chinese cleaver like that).

Some restaurants pocketed the tips and others, especially if you put it on your credit card, will deduct the merchant fee against the tip, not the bill for the meal.

In the past, the decision was that it didn't matter since the tip wasn't counted against the wage of the worker. The only forum for that would be to bring it up with the USDoL and dealing with required tips for banquet type bills, BOLI (Oregon's Labor division) did not have a legal standing.

Granted, that may have changed in the last 5 or so years.

When I worked as a busboy the dishwasher and busboys would get a precentage of the tips because we were the ones that made sure the glasses and spoons were clean and made sure the small stuff got done.

Also, an outing on the boat! Alas, my fishing experiences are limited and relegated to undersized perch. I do have some rods and tackle and such from Mr. D. I recall the first time he brought me to his favorite camping spot. Once we'd carried the canoe down to the water, he took his fishing rod and said, "Watch this." Within 60 seconds he had a nice fish on the line. There's nothing like a man who is a good provider.

Now, perhaps it's time for food wars. No one does this like the HQ.

283 I should add a thanks to Mrs. JTB and the state of Wisconsin for introducing me to the glories of walleye fillets properly prepared. Growing up on the east coast, I considered cod to be the best of the white flesh fish. Walleye is better. However, I'm not aware of a fresh water fish that matches freshly caught mackerel for an oily fish.

We have two dishwashers in our house. I'm one and the Mrs. is the other. She does most of the cooking these days (thank goodness) but I handle breakfast. Also, I'm the soup maker, pancake master, coleslaw and sauerkraut maestro, make the baked beans, and do the bread baking.

Actual unfriending, they will know. You will vanish from their friend list and the total number will drop by 1. You can opt to not see their posts on your news feed without unfriending.

Posted by: otho at January 22, 2017 05:49 PM (lmIoG)

296 UNFRIENDING: The person who is unfriended does not get a notice, but they will eventually see that you are no longer in their Friend's List. And if they try to send you a message or an invite, then they'll know right away.

UNFOLLOWING: The person who is unfollowed has no idea and does not get any notice. This is probably your best bet, especially if it a family member or close friend. Because when they eventually call or text you and say, "Did you see that hysterical joke I just posted?" You can say, "Oh no, I must have missed it...I'll go look now." Then you go and follow them again for a minute (you can quickly unfollow afterward) and tell them that they really, really ought to get into a comedy club stat!

314 Food bit. I bought a proper meat thermometer with the probe that stays in the steak or roast while its on the grill or in the oven and tried it last Sunday on a deer loin steak for supper. Having the temperature gave me confidence to leave the steak rare instead of overcooking it because the color looked too red. This is going to be a great tool for me. I also used the CBD, Garret et al tip to sear the steak and then put it in a low oven (I used 200) to finish up.

This is going to make the bison steaks from dad's xmas present hunt so tasty. I'm doing another deer steak for practice tonight before I venture the buffalo.

320 I just got done making my 2nd batch of kimchi. I'm now using a 5L German crock. Last batch was with 2 Napa cabbages and one red cabbage. I add in onions, a lot of mustard greens with fish sauce and heavy on the garlic.

It really is delicious. The smell has been a problem. My wife had a get together yesterday and I had to agree not open any kimchi that day. I've got a small kitchen downstairs and have agreed to eat it down there.

I fermented the last batch for 8 days. I had to extend the time on this one as it was at 65 degree environment. This caused a lag on the bubbling up but I'm quickly catching on to the tricks of the trade.

Mix in the taco seasoning, with the 1 1/2 cups water (I'm a bit OCD, so I like to pout the water into the seasoning packages so I use as much as possible)
Serve in tortillas (if I'm not pressed for time, I make my own tortillas, but so many are made right over here cheaply I rarely bother) with shredded cheese, sour cream, Valentina extra hot sauce and whatever veggies you like.

Thereafter, there's plenty to feast on left over so just need to re-heat in microwave.

328 I need your help, horde. We bought an entire processed deer over the holidays from a friend. The ground meat is good and we have had excellent cheeseburgers and spaghetti sauce. But the roasts are baffling me. I did one as a sauerbraten (long, slow braise) and it was not tender AT ALL (very chewy). The steaks I cook very hot and quick (they are fairly small and thin) and they are OK but not great (I guess suffering from the lack of internal fat).
How can I cook these roasts to get them tender? Is it possible?

Keep it simple, use versatile staple stuff. A 5lb bag of rice will last forever and even the cheapest rice cooker will cook it better and faster than I ever could on the stove, with no need to tend to it. Net price, maybe $25-$30. Add some frozen vegetables to save on prep time while you're cutting up and sauteeing chicken thighs. Serve it with shredded cheese or soy sauce with garlic and grated ginger, and you can get two completely different dishes from three basic ingredients.

349 328. I've cooked deer round steak in pressure cooker which comes out like a roast and is tender enough.

The other option is crockpot with some kind of acidic broth (tomato, or cola with red wine vinegar works on the tougher buffalo roast and stew meat I've cooked so far).

You might pound the steaks and do a chicken fried steak, or just fry them in bacon grease, possibly sear and then rest them in the low oven to come to temp if they are not so thin the quick sear cooks them through.

I have a marinade recipe from my brother that is good for gamey meat but I wouldn't say it does much tenderizing.

361 The thing with cooking is that you have to take the time and some people just don't have the time, or know that they have it.

I make a mess of beans once a week, I refry them. Making them from dried beans needs one or two days of soaking, and then cooking them for 30 minutes in a pressure cooker with a ham-hock or with bone broth, or if you are being cheap, a ham bone, with 1/8 cup of vinegar.
Cook up rice at the same time, they go well together
You can take the 2-3 hours to slow cook a pot roast in the oven and have veggies and left over pot roast for a good section of the week.
And of course there are things made out of left overs too.

Popping the cover off of a microwaveable meal and pulling down a box with a mix is faster, and if all you have is 30 minutes to eat, you trade money for time and convenience.
I know people with relatives in Southern California, and they all are scrambling for time - and who wouldn't there? Two to four hour commutes, taxes crimping down on what you earn and the drive to live up to your economic "level" like your neighbors and co-workers means two jobs in a family, child care and running everyone around. No time for cooking or eating.

Time is money. Money buys you time.

365 FireHorse, logprof, can we coax you into posting some of your cash-friendly / time-friendly recipes?

Posted by: Steck
________

Happily! Here's one of my favorites:

Preheat your oven to 350. Take out a roasting pan or a casserole dish and prep it with butter, margarine or PAM. Put about a 1/4 inch of water in it. Dump a bag of baby carrots into it. (I rinse them off first but you don't have to.) Scrub or peel 2-3 pounds of potatoes or yams,* cut 'em into chunks, and spread over top of the carrots. Put chicken or pork on top of that. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. (I mix these in a 2:2:1 ratio into one shaker for convenience.) Put it in the oven and find something to do for an hour.

Take it out an hour later, wait a few minutes and stick a thermometer in the meat just to be safe.

Depending how much meat you buy and whether it was on sale, your total cost could be anywhere from $5-10 for a wholesome, home-cooked "meat-and-potatoes" meal for five people. YMMV.

Total prep time is at most 20 minutes. Clean-up time is about 15 minutes.

(* - Whenever I go the yam route, I like to drizzle some molasses onto that layer.)

Yeah, I have that one. And you cannot drop the course (and you know you have failed or missed other exams) because you do not know what the classes ARE.

I had a fun one a little while ago: I was visiting friends at an old work place, and someone asked me to do something work related. I did it without thinking until I am pushing a cart down the hallway and stop and think "What the hell am I doing?" Then I woke up.

431 328 I need your help, horde. We bought an entire processed deer over the holidays from a friend. The ground meat is good and we have had excellent cheeseburgers and spaghetti sauce. But the roasts are baffling me. I did one as a sauerbraten (long, slow braise) and it was not tender AT ALL (very chewy). The steaks I cook very hot and quick (they are fairly small and thin) and they are OK but not great (I guess suffering from the lack of internal fat).
How can I cook these roasts to get them tender? Is it possible?

Posted by: Brunnhilde at January 22, 2017 06:03 PM (P5esK


Brown in fat first, then braise atop a handfull of onions, celery and carrots at 250-300 degrees for about 4 hours, turning every hour.

432 I made waffles this morning. I pulled out the Better Homes Cookbook and actually followed the recipe, and I used the old chrome GE waffle maker I bought at a thrift shop years ago.
Apparently the secret is to separate the whites from the eggs and whip them into soft peaks before adding them last to the batter.

*sigh*

My aunt used to make waffles on a Sunday morning and would invite family over
I used to make an old girlfriend waffles too, because I liked cooking for her and the only breakfast she could make was "buckshot scrambled eggs" that were greyish and were tiny clumps of hard egg curds.

I could never get her to understand that the pan should be HOT and the eggs stirred and folded lightly.

I know the libertarian way would be to let the market decide but I don't want to go home with norovirus or salmonella or ecoli along with my fish fry.

I'm with you, Boots. Where the hell are the food inspectors today? When I worked fast food in high school we had to use hair nets and hats. Uniforms had to be clean and fitted. The food safety classes and food safety inspections weren't a joke. My boss was a witch on wheels, but we knew the food was prepared correctly and the place and people were clean. That was twenty five years ago.

Recently I went to a fast food restaurant. I had a straggly blue-haired he/she with a cow ring in her nose and tats up her arm taking my order. Talk about throwing you off your appetite! If that is what we see at the counter, what is hidden *behind* the counter? I shudder to consider it.

441 Yes, you have to bleed the big catfish. We caught some very large blue
cats on trot lines this summer using live perch as bait. One was 42 lbs.
The first really big one we had on the line got loose before we could
land it. We didn't have a net and were trying to just flip it into the
boat. My boy learned a lot of new vocabulary.

I never cared much for catfish before I tasted the Mississippi's. Giant heads on them. Those ol' boys fill up their freezers fast with a mess of those.

I can understand that. However, I think it also depends on how hungry you are.

Not being intentionally cruel perhaps, but what others might see as brutally efficient.

474 If one is going to have fried fish, one needs homemade tartar sauce (made a day ahead of time).

I made a batch recently. The ingredients are below, but the proportions are up to you. I knew the basic ingredients, but looked on line for recipes to see what ingredients I missed/might add if they sounded interesting. The two ingredients that I added that made sense were the Worchestershire and the Tabasco. But I never thought of adding non-pareil capers or dried tarragon. The batch I created from the listed ingredients was absolutely delicious.

The nice thing about homemade tartar sauce is you can made small batches as opposed to having a store-bought jar hanging around in the fridge until it goes bad. On top of that, you really can't use bottled tartar sauce for anything else, but mayo has plenty of other uses. The dried tarragon made the tartar sauce interesting.


Tartar Sauce

Mayonnaise
Dijon Mustard
Lemon Zest
Lemon Juice
Minced gherkins
Cracked black pepper
Worschestershire Sauce
Tabasco
Non-pareil capers
Dried tarragon

I've had that dream a lot. Of course, there were two college classes I only attended on test days.

(Both were engineering department courses, too. The fluffy-bunny departments always had ways to get around that "you cannot grade on attendance" clause.)

I've also had a dream where I'm back visiting my folks, and I go to the store where I worked during school, and check the schedule, and panic because I've already missed two or three shifts that week and I hadn't called in sick...

Twenty years is not enough to kill off school nightmares.

A lot of "fish" mounted on walls are entirely-artificial reproductions, from photos and measured dimensions. You can have your fish and eat it too.

Actual taxidermied fish, I dunno. I know they're still mostly artificial... the scales even have to be painted since the natural colors fade away quickly.

535 For the cabbage-loving Misanthropic Humanitarian: what the Swedes call "cabbage pudding" - it's a shallow, layered cabbage meatloaf. This is the typical Swedish "cuisine" that I ate during the near decade I lived there. Cheap, simple fare.

2+ lbs cabbage, chopped
butter
1 1/4 c beef bullion/stock
1/8+ tsp plus 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp plus 1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp allspice
1 bay leaf
1 lb ground beef or pork/beef blend
2 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled.
1 1/4 c milk

Brown the cabbage in butter, then add bullion, bay leaf, 1/8 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp salt. Simmer covered for 10-15 minutes.

Mix the ground meat with1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp allspice, and mash in the boiled potatoes. Add the milk gradually until the mixture is blended.

Spread half of the cabbage in a shallow casserole dish. Spoon the meat mixture over and spread carefully to cover the cabbage. Then spread the rest of the cabbage over the top. Spoon a little of the remaining cabbage bullion over the top.

Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes, spooning a little more bullion over the top occasionally. Serve with boiled potatoes and lingonberry dressing (whole cranberry dressing is a good substitute).

Last time I was there was in 1984, open 24/7 and had been forever. Always lines. You ordered your meat (beef or pork), which was accompanied by all the sourdough bread and coleslaw you could eat.

This recipe was published in the La Times on Feb 23, 1978.

1 1/2 c plus 2 T mayonnaise
6 T plus 1 tsp sugar
3 T plus 1/2 tsp wine vinegar
3/4 c plus 1 T oil
1/8 tsp EACH garlic, onion, mustard and celery powder
dash of black pepper
1 T plus 2 tsp lemon juice
3/4 c plus 1 T half and half
1/2 tsp salt
2 heads of cabbage, very finely shredded

Mix ingredients until smooth, then pour over the cabbage and toss until well-mixed.

581 Really late to the thread, but here is kind of the skinny on tips. Wait staff are generally paid less than minimum wage so tips are supposed to bring that total up. Back in the 70's, some Dem congress critters decided that the government wasn't getting their cut, so they brought in some wait staff from some really high end restaurants in DC to testify. Some of these pukes were making several hundred a week in tips so the Dems decided that they wanted their cut and tips became taxable. Problem was, is that most wait staff across the rest of the country were not making those kind of tips, but the congress critters believed they were.
But there was a way around it that I used as a bartender. I only declared tips on credit card receipts. I never said anything about my cash tips. I figured that since those congress critters weren't out schlepping drinks, they couldn't have my money.

I know what you meant and it's a darn good point, but when I go back to SoCal to visit now, I forget and use the trashcan, so occasionally it might not be the staff, especially if you live in a touristy area.

can do about President Trump: jumping off a building to show your hatred
of the President Trump administration. It's easier than trying to light yourself on fire and bungling it.

602 I only declared tips on credit card receipts. I never said anything about my cash tips


You've been out of the business a while. Waitstaff get taxed on 8% of their gross sales, regardless of what's cash vs. credit.

603 Wow. We had a septic tank on the farm for 15 years and ALWAYS flushed toilet paper. Never even heard of not doing it on septic...

604 "You've been out of the business a while. Waitstaff get taxed on 8% of their gross sales, regardless of what's cash vs. credit."

So the tip is urged to be based on 20%, and the tax is to be paid on the assumption of an 8% tip?

Yes, because good people tip 20% but not all people are good.

608 Old Blue, when I worked in a restaurant in the late 80s, waitstaff were taxed on a tip amount calculated on a percentage of the food you served.

So if all your customers stiffed you on tips, you still had to pay taxes on the tips you supposedly got.

Posted by: Emmie at January 22, 2017 07:44 PM (xVuS6)

609 Re. Mexican and other Third World crappers... the pipe system and water isn't strong enough to flush paper and waste just the waste so there are trash cans to take the soiled toilet paper. And, yes, they're stupid to not realize that they're in a country where the plumbing works better and they can do the more-hygienic thing and flush it all. (Even if you have to flush twice for Green low-flow toilets!)

610 So the tip is urged to be based on 20%, and the tax is to be paid on the assumption of an 8% tip?

Yep. The standard tip was considered 15% when they put that regulation through, but they at least acknowledged the fact that a lot of waiters get stiffed and did not assume you really got a steady %.

614 Those low-flow toilets suck. Friend built a house after those were required in new builds. He had the toilets removed from the old house installed in the new build and put the low flow in the house he sold. There is usually around that stuff.

>>>>I need your help, horde. We bought an entire processed deer over the
holidays from a friend. The ground meat is good and we have had
excellent cheeseburgers and spaghetti sauce. But the roasts are baffling
me. I did one as a sauerbraten (long, slow braise) and it was not
tender AT ALL (very chewy). The steaks I cook very hot and quick (they
are fairly small and thin) and they are OK but not great (I guess
suffering from the lack of internal fat).

How can I cook these roasts to get them tender? Is it possible?<<<
-----------------------

Breading really helps the steaks.

Best thing I found for other cuts is grillads and grits.

2lb meat cut into thin rounds ( I pound mine out flatter if I feel ambitious)

flour for dredging meat

enough lard for the browning the meat

2 cups diced onion

1 cup each diced bell peppers and celery

several chopped garlic cloves

2-3 tbsp dried parsley

tbsp dried thyme and oregano

2 bay leaves

3 or so heaping tbsp tomato paste

salt, pepper, cayenne

1 cup red wine

2-3 cups beef stock

Salt and pepper the meat, dredge it in flour and brown it in the lard (or bacon drippings), and set aside.

Saute the onions, peppers, celery and garlic in remaining fat (add more if needed).

Add the parsley, bay leaves plus salt and pepper.

Add the tomato paste

De-glaze pot with red wine.

Add stock, cover and cook for an hour or so, reducing stock. Taste and adjust seasonings. (I like a bit of Worcestershire as well)

Add meat and cook for another hour, add in liquid if necessary.

Serve over grits

621 Sometimes I fix "bachelor meals" like from my college days for my husband. He seems to like them okay.

One style is to brown ground beef and add a bunch of cut-up vegetables like onions, peppers, celery, mushrooms, whatever I have on hand that seems like I could sauté it.

The other is to prepare ramen noodles and add some kind of sausage and cabbage and other veggies.

Posted by: Emmie at January 22, 2017 07:51 PM (xVuS6)

622 I made red beans and rice just over a week ago.

It was good, I added kielbasa sausage and bacon... but it seemed to be missing something.

Am wondering if I should add some barbecue sauce or liquid smoke next time.

>>>My understanding is that if you went back into the kitchen area at most places you would never eat there again.<<<


Long ago I used to deliver bread in the French Quarter on Sundays, for an old, well known local bakery. Started at 04:30. You would not believe the states of some very well known kitchens (or how early the chefs started drinking)
