So what foods not intended for mobile consumption have you eaten while driving? And what was the dry-cleaning bill? I ranted about this kind of crap recently, so I won't plague you again for awhile, but just take a look (or even better don't give them the clicks) at this thinly disguised attempt at anthropomorphising food animals. Before you put that fennel and garlic-scented chicken leg in your mouth, read this Yeah, I get it. Piglets and chicks are cute and have brains and feel. But they also taste good, and that is more important. Because they are simply not on par with Man. HOW TO SERVE: Serve everything already sliced on one board. If you don't have room for the bread and crackers, serve on the side. BEER AND WINE PAIRINGS: Almost everything pairs with cured meats - that's the great thing about serving a charcuterie board. Pretty much! And a photo of a charcuterie board just for grammie winger OregonMuse sent this along, and while these lists are usually a bit silly, this one is spot on. 7 Secrets From a Grilled Cheese Master aren't really secrets, but the guy really does know grilled cheese. Today is the fourth edition of: "Liquor Cabinets: A Study By And Of Morons." From commenter"Walknot," a very nice simple cabinet that gives off a retro vibe. It ain't fancy and the booze isn't top shelf but it's mine and my X wife didn't get it! The roll up has some prissy shit for the ladies but the important stuff is easily accessible. LED lights are in its future and its twin is in my office and will likely be duplicated for my lower level when I finish it, can't be bothered walking up a flight of steps to freshen your drink, Cheers!I like it. Minimalist and serious. It sends a message that you are a serious drinker. And really, what else is important in life? This is my liquor cabinet, an old dry sink that was inherited from my grandparents. They had it restored, as it was a battered stack of boards when they got it. They inherited it from the side of the family that were total teetotalers. We joke that that side of the family is spinning in their graves from this. This is from Mark Bittman, and I usually have some problems with his cooking. The dish sounds like fun, but I think the expensive prosciutto will be overwhelmed by the garlic. As usual, his first instinct is wrong. A better choice would be a smoky ham or something powerfully flavored. I think the bacon might be fun. Yeah...there's a stretch. (Maccheroni alla San Giovanniello) •10 cloves garlic, lightly crushed •1/2 cup prosciutto or other salted ham or slab bacon, cut into cubes or strips •6 plum tomatoes, or 11/2 cups drained canned tomatoes •Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste •1 pound cut pasta, such as ziti or penne •1 cup roughly chopped fresh basil leaves •1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, or a combination 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. 2. Combine the oil, garlic, and ham in a medium to large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the garlic becomes deep golden, nearly brown, all over, 10 to 15 minutes. 3. Core and chop the plum tomatoes (or crush the canned tomatoes) and add them, along with salt and pepper, to the skillet. Stir and simmer while you salt the boiling water and cook the pasta. 4. Drain the pasta when it is tender but firm, reserving a little of the cooking water and adding it to the sauce if it appears dry (quite likely if you used fresh tomatoes). Toss the pasta with the sauce and most of the basil, along with the cheese. Mince the remaining basil, garnish the pasta with it, and serve.

Making it some sort of 21st century totem that symbolizes an ascent to some higher plane is just silly. I'm all for putting food on a pedestal, but only for the purposes of pleasure and as a social lubricant. I refuse to elevate it to something magical and mystical.
But as a religion Leftism must have their ritual foods and their forbidden foods and as such your eating of the forbidden foods is blasphemy that must preferably to them be punishable by death.

I just made a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. The ham is leftover ham from Easter. It was a Masterpiece!!! It was also easy and the gloomy weather has me gloomy and lazy, mostly lazy. I'll whip up a pasta concoction later so I have something to eat when I go back to work tomorrow. 12 hour mids don't leave much room to cook. Eat, sleep, and work is pretty much it for 3 nights.

I've never been great at making potato salad. It's something I refuse to follow a recipe for out of laziness and overconfidence.
Away, point I'm trying to make: I tripled the amount of bacon I normally use and it elevated my mediocre potato salad to something quite tasty. It's not going to win an award but it might even get a compliment or two. (It's just mayo, mustard, pickles and bacon with a little onion powder and salt added, the increased bacon was probably heaping half cups worth of chopped bacon.)

I don't know anything about Dr. Hyman or how the quote was intended, but it's not that off the wall. A fresh, varied diet is probably better over time than junk and a vitamin supplement, and there's no need to cure a disease you can avoid in the first place with a good diet.

I'll make you a deal Dr. Hyman:
Alright, he's over the top. But on the line of continuum he's off to one side, the deniers that food does anything good or bad on the opposite side, and me in the middle. Food, specifically the foods we decide to eat, have a significant effect on our bodies. There are foods that contribute to inflammation, and foods that retard that effect. I have, at times, suffered the debilitating effects of arthritis (a fancy-pansy term for inflammation) which disappear completely with modification of diet. No pills, no doctor visits. Simply adding or subtracting foods from my diet. My father ate a large amount of red meat and suffered gout. He would not take the simple step of reducing red meat intake. He suffered, I shrugged. His choice. A painful choice. Inside our brains, inflammation is definitely correlated with the various dementias. In countries with large intakes of anti-inflammatory foods, these dementias are nearly non-existent. I'm not the food police, telling people what they should or should not eat. Only suggesting that there's a definite link. Posted by: E Depluribus Unum at April 23, 2017 05:20 PM (HTdUD) 46

Posted by: grammie winger Cookie sheet, add aluminum foil to keep water in, wet plank, add about 1/8" water to inside of cookie sheet. Let sit around for a while so that plank absorbs water. Plop protein onto plank. Into oven. Plank maintains contact throughout cooking cycle with wood, preventing your protein from cooking unevenly. You can buy expensive cedar planks at a few specially stores or just go to Lowes or Home Depot and have an eight foot board cut down into many slightly less than cookie sheet length and keep for yourself or share.

Odd question, perhaps. I have heard that coffee and tea can actually taste better when sipped from a good porcelain cup instead of my usual 24 ounce ceramic mug. We have a set of Rosenthal china which includes cups and saucers. I think it does make a difference and prefer the smaller china cup. But I don't know if it is expectation or what.
Anyone notice this? BTW, I no longer have to consume mass quantities of coffee just to stay awake. I drink it now just for the taste. Posted by: JTB at April 23, 2017 05:38 PM (V+03K) 86

I tend to be very judicious using garlic--too much overwhelms the dish. Also if you roast it before using it the flavor definitely enhances what your cooking. Just my opinion,YMMV. Posted by: irongrampa at April 23, 2017 05:38 PM (S/hVx) 89

Playing devil's advocate here: I gotta say that I can think of some times where food is better than meds.
Sometimes high blood pressure and diabetes are little more than your body trying to deal with your macronutrients being out of whack. Remember, it wasn't Science (tm) that told us that fat was bad for your heart -- it was a government program. Lowering carb intake can affect your blood pressure so dramatically that if you are on meds you should be in touch with your doctor to adjust your meds if you try low-carb eating. So I don't think that exotic diets will necessarily cure all ills, but there are some conditions that respond well to a positive change in diet. Posted by: Emmie at April 23, 2017 05:41 PM (xVuS6) 99

naturalfake, that sounds delicious, and like something I could actually drink. But what is pineapple gum syrup? I've never heard of that.
Posted by: bluebell at April 23, 2017 05:36 PM (sBOL1) It's like a simple syrup made with pineapple juice and gum arabic. Back in the 20s-30s, the gum arabic made the drink "silkier" but doesn't affect the flavor. It used to be a common food additive. Your local liquor store should carry it. But if not, both "Small Hand Foods" and "Liber and Co." offer pineapple gum syrup on Amazon. It's actually used in a lot of drinks. Here's another good one: Pisco-Apricot Tropical 1 1/2 oz pisco 1/2 oz apricot brandy/liqueur 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice 3/4 oz pineapple gum syrup 2 dashes of Angostura bitters Shake with ice. Strain. Drink! Posted by: naturalfake at April 23, 2017 05:47 PM (9q7Dl) 111

The wifes latest favorite meal is flounder. I take some cheapy snow crab legs, quick steam them lightly, then clean them. Throw the meat in a bowl. Throw a flounder fillet on the plank, then cover with crab meat. Sprinkle a little pizza cheese on top. Then throw another flounder fillet on top. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. It would probably be a 20.00 entree. My cost about 3.00 per person. Posted by: E Depluribus Unum at April 23, 2017 05:49 PM (HTdUD) 117

I had a small gathering Saturday, where I served the Chacuterie board. It was a huge board, but simple to throw together. The only prep was blanching asparagus and washing and cutting up the fruits. Pate's on my board: Duck liver with cognac. Pork & Elk Blueberries. Pork & Game (Bison) Cranberries. Pork & Apples. Cheeses: Camembert Mirabo German Cheese with Walnuts (like a French brie/delicious!) Goat cheese Danish Blue Havarti Swiss Cheddar Meats: A spicy Kielbasa Genoa Salami Prosciutto Cotto Capocollo Smoked Prosciutto and another type of prosciutto for the asparagus. I wrapped pre-blanched asparagus spears in prosciutto (served them sushi style - cut short). Other fruits and veggies: artichoke hearts tangerine segments clementine segments apple slices grapes mixed salad Misc other finger foods and condiments: Mixed Nuts Cornichons (I used the small sweet ones) A couple different varieties of olives compotes, jellies and chutneys (fig, blackberry, etc) Bararian mustard (sweet) and a whole grain Old Style mustard Crackers and baguette slices Wine Coffee with dessert Went over well.

He looked amazing. He dropped 35 pounds since then and is now at 180, 6 foot tall. I asked him how he did it - he said he cut the carbs. No exercise, even some cheats once in a while. He said he had to stop because he went lower than he intended to go. The weight just fell off him. Nicest guy in the world. Too bad that now I hate his guts.

others, but in the end, food provides energy and the building blocks for growth of tissue." No it's not.

Try it with bacon grease. Cook the bacon slowly and remove the bacon, leaving the melted goodness. Briefly place one of the two slices of bread on the pan to soak up some of the grease. Replace it with the other bread with the bacon, shredded cheese of choice, and a light smear of spicy mustard. Top with the first slice of bread, greasy side out. Cover to let the steam melt the cheese. When toasted to preference (most of the grease will be gone from the pan by now), flip over and recover. The soaked in grease will keep the bread from burning if the grease in the pan is low. When done, enjoy! Posted by: The Culinary Hat at April 23, 2017 06:15 PM (vBeA5) 188

224 Just because something feels good or tastes good, doesn't mean it's right or moral to enjoy it. Should sense gratification alone be the moral basis of a civilized society? My dick might feel wonderful in my neighbor's wife's mouth. Does that mean it would be okay to insert it there? Maybe your testicles would taste good sauteed in olive oil. Does that mean it's okay to eat them?

Saw hard boiled shell-less eggs the Krogers. WTH? People are too lazy to boil shell eggs? A sure sign of the End Times. Posted by: Cool Hand Luke at April 23, 2017 05:15 PM (bc2Lc) ------------------------------------------- I have experience with hard boiled eggs. I was Brigade duty officer at Ft Hood one Saturday night in 1973. An Alabama National Guard unit had just finished their summer camp and were going home. They had brought their mess (they guys that feed them) for some reason and therefore the mess had to drive their vehicles back home. The main unit was flying back on military transport. The mess guys were leaving early so they boiled a mess of eggs, peeled them and put them in mermite containers (a sealed, insulated container) for the troops. I got the call early Sunday morning from the hospital that they had a bunch of sick Guardsman on their hands. When I went over they were all over the place, including the front lawn, expelling from both ends. Moral of the story, warm eggs are a perfect medium for bacterial, or viral, growth. I left, called the Brigade commander and told him he had a problem. Posted by: Javems at April 23, 2017 06:36 PM (yOqwj) 244

Classic: 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. 3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans 4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like.

85 Odd question, perhaps. I have heard that coffee and tea can actually taste better when sipped from a good porcelain cup instead of my usual 24 ounce ceramic mug. We have a set of Rosenthal china which includes cups and saucers. I think it does make a difference and prefer the smaller china cup. But I don't know if it is expectation or what. Anyone notice this? BTW, I no longer have to consume mass quantities of coffee just to stay awake. I drink it now just for the taste. Posted by: JTB at April 23, 2017 05:38 PM (V+03K) ***** A while back I started thinking about how I never use the two sets of fine china I inherited from my Mom (neither did she!) as well as my own 26-year old set of Wedgwood. I got the cups and saucers out and started using them for my coffee on the weekends and I definitely have noticed a difference. I don't know if it's the way it cools at a different rate or if the shape of the cup distributes the the aroma differently, and you're right, it could just be the expectation. I do, however, still consume mass quantities of coffee! Posted by: Elinor, Who Usually Looks Lurkily at April 23, 2017 06:43 PM (NqQAS) 265

Light teas from a glass, black teas from a Chinese cup. Drip and French press coffee from either the "TRY SCE TO AUX" mug or the "IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, NOBODY'S HAPPY" mug.

I refuse to elevate it to something magical and mystical.
I made a clean out the fridge sort of shaksouka sp? for brunch. Leftover spaghetti and sauce, diced tomatoes, a little breakfast sausage, last of the Easter Ham, spinach, 4 eggs and Romano cheese on top.

Just because something feels good or tastes good, doesn't mean it's right or moral to enjoy it. Should sense gratification alone be the moral basis of a civilized society? My dick might feel wonderful in my neighbor's wife's mouth. Does that mean it would be okay to insert it there? Maybe your testicles would taste good sauteed in olive oil. Does that mean it's okay to eat them?
Posted by: kimoloka at April 23, 2017 06:29 PM (TQ+jc) If you want to make the argument that eating tasty animals is immoral, why don't you just make that argument instead of dancing around? Bringing humans into the mix means nothing unless you consider animals and humans as exactly equal morally and legally. So, while you're at it make that argument as well. A-a-a-a-a-and go!

First: classic meat-lovers, pepperoni. Last: thin-crust vegetarian, Hawaiian. There might be significant geographic variations at play there. Personally, I'm all-in on the Hawaiian, if decently done. And while a good pepperoni is always a reasonable choice, I generally don't go for four pounds of ground beef and four different sliced sausages on a pizza. There are certain pizzas that work best thin (margherita/cheese, anything involving a sauce that ain't red, most veggie-type pizzas) and those that work best thick (anything with a lot of meat, IMO.)

You won't believe this but the best pizza I ever had was a little place in Warrensburg, on Pine Street (oh yeah, THAT Pine Street). Many years ago I went in there with a friend and we ordered pepperoni and sausage pizza and a beer. They brought the pizza out cut in SQUARES and we both though WTF? Best pizza I ever ate. Lots of meat, loaded with cheese and some spice they sprinkled on it. Damn.

402 And while a good pepperoni is always a reasonable choice, I generally don't go for four pounds of ground beef and four different sliced sausages on a pizza.

149 I has a sad. Yesterday I heated the smoked turkey we were given at Christmas in an oven bag with some soaked up bread and a bit of water just in the bag. Made the bread and sage dressing I like and it came out fine in spite of having to make substitutions because I hadn't shopped. So why sad? Because today, hungry after riding I went to grab some leftovers and found I had put them in the freezer in garage rather than the fridge. Now I'm waiting on the microwave do defrost and knowing that freezing will have dried out the meat some. Posted by: PaleRider at April 23, 2017 06:01 PM (8qFZP) Try defrosting by putting the sealed freezer bag in a pan of hot water from the tap. 5-10 minutes on one side, flip the bag and add some more hot water. Another 5-10 min, and everything's defrosted without that nasty nuke burn. One of my baking pans fits perfectly over my sink so it's easy to fill, with little mess.

I had a steak that sat in a delicious gin marinade once. Don't have the recipe, but I suspect it was mostly gin, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Probably a bit of ground mustard, too.

537 516. Good tip. I've done that with steaks when I didn't get them out in good time.

Posted by: PaleRider at April 23, 2017 08:32 PM (8qFZP) Being single, I work that all the time. I'll buy a pound or two of ground beef, divide into 1/2 pound patties and freeze in quart freezer bags. I do the same with chicken leg quarters, and steaks. Then I have individual portions that I can quickly defrost for simple evening meals, without having to save as leftovers.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at April 23, 2017 08:44 PM (fDdVG) ------- It's quite easy, but you really need to have a spaetzle maker, which isn't a big complicated thing at all. It's basically a flat grater with a rectangular piece that sits on top, where you put the dough. You run the dough back and forth over the grater into the boiling water. Very easy. It was less than $10 at Marshalls when I got mine. Posted by: bluebell at April 23, 2017 08:47 PM (sBOL1) 579

Aldi is definitely an experience.

Speaking of gin, last week I bought a bottle of Wigle's Ginever. I had never seen it before. It claims to be closer to the original gin recipe than most modern gins. So I gave it a whirl. Here is what the label says:
"Genever-style gin, very popular before the advent of large commercial stills, was the original gin. It has become a lost gem of distillation, hard to come by in America. With a grain mash made of local, heirloom rye, wheat and malted barley, and a complex family of botanicals, our Ginever is rounder and fuller than modern gins. Juniper berries remain forefront but are joined by a number of other aromatics including earthy cardamom, peppery cubeb, and fragrant lavender to create a layered flavor experience." I tried it in a martini but didn't like it. It certainly has a lot more flavor than I'm used to in gin. Maybe it's an acquired taste, but I'm satisfied with my usual Bombay gin for martinis. However, I suspected that it would make a good gin and tonic, and I wasn't disappointed. It was quite tasty. Posted by: rickl at April 23, 2017 08:57 PM (sdi6R) 598

I shop there on occasion, great prices, pretty good store brand stuff but as far as the company itself? It seems to be a fantastic outfit, per the workers. Posted by: Cat at April 23, 2017 09:12 PM (Va9Q4) 643
Shopped Aldi when I was stationed in Germany. 1 Mark deposit on the shopping cart, bring your own boxes/bags. No produce, other than sacks of potatoes.

608 Question: what can you do with balsamic vinegar (besides salad dressing)?
Pan-fry a flattened, seasoned chicken breast in butter. Remove and deglaze the pan with a little chicken broth or white wine and some balsamic. Then whisk in a pat of butter. Pour this over the chicken breast. Posted by: cicero Kaboom! kid at April 23, 2017 09:13 PM (n8Jnc) 645
Also... there are variations in local Aldis. The one closest to my house is a bit smaller, while one about five minutes farther away is larger and has much more of a selection. So if you don't like the one closest, try another one.

And of course wherever there's an Aldi, you'll find a Trader Joe's not far off, because the feud endures.

re: Aldis "Only downside is that there are no shopping bags. You have to bring your own."
Down here you have to carry a quarter if you want to operate the little slot-machine lock on the buggies, too. There's always a ton of goodwill between shoppers that I've seen, though, and you'll usually get a smile along with a buggy handed off to you on the way in. I think I've had to use a quarter only a handful of times. Posted by: Moron Robbie at April 23, 2017 09:14 PM (fD1ST) 648

Iron Mike Golf-Have you ever thought about a little truffle oil instead of the balsamic?
Posted by: Ben Had at April 23, 2017 09:15 PM (yeXiy) 652
Not a fan, even now that I'm mid-50s. Couldn't wear pants to school until I was in 4th grade, and then, only if it was freezing outside.
-- I went to Catholic school. Wore skirts from grades 2 to 12. Every. Single.Day. As an adult, I never wear skirts or dresses. That being said, the person who starts designing pretty summer dresses with "sleeves" for women larger than size 12 will be a millionaire. Posted by: shibumi at April 23, 2017 09:16 PM (FkAXz) 653

"Charcuterie" board?
Looks like an off-cut from an Oregon pine plank. Over here we make the odd cutting board from Radiata Pine off-cuts Most of the "chips" and "shavings" around here are generated in the workshop.

I made a side dish for dinner tonight that involves balsamic vinegar. Plus it's delicious: sweet pepper ragout.
2 large bell peppers, at least one of which should be red. 1 medium onion. 2 cloves garlic. 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar. 1/4 cup olive oil. 1 large tomato or half a can of canned ones, peeled and diced. Slice the onion thinly and melt in the oil. Mince the garlic and add. Then cut the peppers into strips (half to quarter-inch wide) and add. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook about 20 minutes, covered. Uncover, add the tomato(s) and balsamic vinegar, correct seasoning, cook uncovered another 10-15 minutes. Can be served warm or chilled. Posted by: Trimegistus at April 23, 2017 09:19 PM (WPAl5) 661
