Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Food Thread: Pizza...An After-Action ReportOf course this means war. So...commenter "Jane D'oh" had an oyster roast! That's a lot of oysters! What the fvck? Health Department banning CBD from all NYC restaurants Long-time commenter (and better cook than I am) Artisanal' ette sent this link, and I am deeply suspicious. Swineapple I know that pork and fruit go well together, and I am peripherally aware that there are some deeply deluded and troubled souls who put pineapple and ham on pizza, but still...this is just weird. And scary looking. Here's Gordon Ramsey eating progressively hotter wings and shooting the breeze about stuff. I have eaten in a few of his restaurants and as I have mentioned before, he may be a gigantic asshole, but damn, he knows how to cook and run a business, and that is a rare thing indeed. I think slow cookers are a marketing manager's dream. It's a Dutch Oven, only not as good and it won't last forever! before you start sending me nasty-grams, take a look at this recipe, which actually looks pretty good and does make sense if you are pressed for oven space. Cinnamon Rolls You Can Make in a Slow Cooker Slow cooker, fast cooker...whatever...I like Korean food, and kimchi and beef go really well together, so this is a nice recipe regardless of how you will be cooking it. Although I have noticed that a fair number of slow cooker recipes require sauteing or high-temperature inserts, so really, what they are saying is: "If you are too cheap to buy a multi-cooker, you're stuck doing as many dishes and as many steps as the regular folk." Slow-Cooker Korean Beef and Kimchi Stew [Hat Tip: artisanal 'ette] I love this kind of food for a few reasons. This style is usually quite intensely flavored (not necessarily spicy...just lots of stuff going on) and the texture fun because of the many different ingredients...which makes it a huge pain in the ass to make which is why I don't usually make it. Chinese Noodles with Chilies and Scallions But I would very much like a plate of that right now, so would somebody please do the honors?

The town I grew up in was a pecan grove at one time. Most of the houses had one or two pecan trees in the yards. Any time a limb fell or someone had a tree cut down, there was never a need to have it hauled off. People would come knock on the door to see if they could take it off your hands. My dad used pecan wood almost exclusively for smoking meats. It is a milder flavor than mesquite.

Skip--
I rise in praise of meatloaf. My mom made it when I was a kid but it never connected. I now understand that was because (1) it was underseasoned and (2) didn't have a mixture of beef and pork. After years of extreme foodie-ism, I've rediscovered it. I now have two loaves in the oven--one to eat and one to freeze. Based on Paula Deen's recipe, my tweaks are almost-browned onions and Rotel tomatoes. And, yes, it makes awesome sandwiches.

Speaking of sauce; I hope that nobody is cooking sauce for pizza. It's a waste of time. Just use good quality (that means: What tastes good to you) chopped or ground tomatoes with a little salt and sugar (optional) and a pinch of oregano, and basil if you are feeling frisky. Oh...maybe a grind or two of pepper or pepper flakes. Your call.
I made some quick sauce to put on Naan bread for a fast pizza. I do similar to CBD, but I saute some minced garlic in olive oil first. I use canned tomatoes - always consistent, already diced, sugar, salt, and basil. I skip the oregano. I put the red pepper flakes on top of mozzarella. I didn't feel up to making the pizza dough, even though I have a quick machine setting and a great recipe. The little pizza was only for me because hubby was out for the evening. Toasted the Naan, ladled some of the sauce, mozzarella, red pepper flakes, melt cheese in convection oven. Yummy. Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 10, 2019 04:10 PM (OKeCc) 48

We have pecan trees. They shed a lot of limbs. I burn them in the shop stove or fire pit, but don't cook with it.

Hey everybody.
CBD, funny you write about pizza today. I was just thinking about going out and getting one. I got an email yesterday from Round Table, indicating every customer would get a coupon for a FREE personal pizza, "to be used on a future visit." But then I read it again today, and it looks like in order to get the coupon, I had to have come in yesterday and made a regular order, which I did not. Oh well, I might go back for a personal pizza anyway as I haven't had one from them in quite some time. Also, question for the Horde: anyone here really like those Boboli crusts? I think they're okay, but I am personally surprised they've been on the market so long. The last time I made some home pizza with 'em it was good, but there have been times I've tried to eat those things and they were barely even edible. I guess for me the key is to undercook them a bit. Posted by: qdpsteve at February 10, 2019 04:15 PM (miE9U) 61

My first husband's father's family was Rumanian and his granmother taught me to make the Rumanian equivalent of potica (ground walnut version). Don't think I still have the recipe, but I still have the taste memory. Sweet, but not too sweet. A very tender pastry. Great stuff.

It was a pleasure getting to meet you all!!! Pizza. I like to make my own crust, and it turns out pretty good. I don't have a wood fired oven in the backyard, although I have offered my husband tantalizing delights if he would build me one, but cranking up a gas stove to high heat does an adequate job of making a crispy crust. As for the Boboli crusts, qdpsteve, I haven't tried them in a while, although I have used storebought naan as a pizza crust in a pinch, and those are pretty good, especially the garlic naan.

Pizza dough is really easy to work with IF!!!! * pause for dramatic effect * it is really, really cold and you use a lot of flour. Then you can stretch it out between two rooms at ease. Posted by: Newest Nic at February 10, 2019 04:26 PM (jYje5) 91
As I have said here before I gave up on making my own home-made pizzas long ago. Too much trouble and mess to clean up with little gain. But I did try something new yesterday. I bought a box of deep dish mini-pizzas which I had intended to add extra pepperoni to. When I went to the freezer to get my pepperoni I found I was out. But I had to eat that pizza as is because I had already thawed it out.

Wow - A jam packed Food Thread indeed!
We've had to, well, chosen to, make some significant dietary changes, and one of those is going low(er) carb, tomthatnend, we've been experimenting with cauliflower crust pizza (yeah, yeah). The ones from Costco are actually really good, great tex5ure and you really feel like you're eating a good thin-crust pie. We ramp them up with extra toppings, and they're pretty tasty. Of all the things we gave up "going kosher" (almost 20 years ago), I truly miss oysters (specifically raw), there really is no substitute for them Oh: and Thanks for the Hat Tip!

Yesterday's MoMe was a wonderful time. I hope everyone can attend one at some point. So many smiles and so much talking. As Mrs. JTB said on the ride home, this was a truly diverse (in the best sense) group. All shapes and sizes and with many, many backgrounds. You could throw out a question on just about any exoteric subject and at least one person would be able to answer.
I do apologize to the folks I was talking to. In short order the room was literally abuzz with conversation to the point I had trouble hearing people two feet away. No one was loud, but we were all talking at the same time. My hearing aids were pretty much overwhelmed. Posted by: JTB at February 10, 2019 04:33 PM (bmdz3) 109
I haven't watched this yet, but curious. He sounds like my kind of chef. Busy watching sports. Soon. https://tinyurl.com/y46nlqju "WE HAVE BECOME HYPOCRITES" - DUNCAN WELGEMOED AT FOOD ON THE EDGE Duncan Welgemoed of Africola in Adelaide Australia takes the stage at Food On The Edge to vent his frustrations with celebrity culture and how it has affected the world of chefs. Welgemoed is not known for mincing his words, quite the opposite. In fact, the South African nativ wears his heart on his chef's jacket sleeves and he took the stage at Food On The Edge in Galway in October last year to lament the scourge, as he sees it, of celebrity culture encroaching onto the world of chefs. As the profile and influence of chefs increases, so to does the temptation to jettison long held principles in favour of 'celebrity' status and perhaps, sponsorship dollars. Chefs have more responsibility to their communities and to the food system in which they occupy a unique position. "We have become hypocrites", claims Welgemoed and does not shirk from calling out some of the industry's biggest names. With an introduction to the stage by Matt Orlando, formerly of Noma and now Amass, we get a hint of Welgemoed's take-no-prisoners style as he cares more about the message he's imparting than what people think of him. He doesn't disappoint. Thoughtful, earnest, witty and irreverent, Welgemoed is a chef with something to say. tired of all celebrities most are braindead Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 10, 2019 04:34 PM (OKeCc) 110

We had an elderly Slovak woman at church who would make that for special-occasion potlucks. Tasty. A couple of years after the Slovakian lady died, I ran into her daughter and asked about it.

..."and bacon or pancetta or guanciale instead of prosciutto, which simply doesn't have the flavor pop to stand up to the egg and cheese. "
Try Cappocolo...I prefer the hot, but either works great. I don't bake pizza anymore. Home ovens just aren't hot enough. I toss the crust into a smokin' hot 12" cast iron skillet, turn the heat down to medium until the dough springs and the bottom is crispy and nicely browned with the requisite black bits, and then pop it under the broiler until the top is bubbly and browned. Try it. Posted by: Shanks for the memory at February 10, 2019 04:42 PM (TdCQk) 139

Just pull the pizza, and crack a couple eggs on it. The eggs will cook mostly from the residual heat of the pie if it is fesh out of the oven.

Been relearning how to cook for wife. She's lost 60lbs since gall bladder removal in May and pancreatitis in October. Since then limited to 25g fat a day. Challenge was ensuring she got enough protein. Unfortunately, she just can't keep food down well. Found out from G-I doc on Wed. she has pancreatic cancer. Met with oncologist on Fri. and found out she probably has stage 4 liver cancer to boot. More tests next week. Eating good tasting food is looking bleaker.

Pizza dough is much improved by aging, at least 24 hours. 2 to 3 days is probably better.
My pies turn out pretty good, consistency is a problem. Have better luck with smaller pies, and not trying to load them down with lots of ingredients. Still it pisses me off that a frozen POS pizza is more consistent. The delivery people piss me iff too. We're talking .25c worth of dough/flour here. And they are uniformly awful. The crust isn't the "best" part of a Pizza, but it's damn important, know what I mean? Posted by: Common Tater at February 10, 2019 05:46 PM (s8v1a) 320

old dog, can she eat dairy? Quiches and custards may be easier to eat, and provide her with nutrition, if she can tolerate dairy and eggs.

Doughnuts, beer and board games: Doughnuts & Dragons to open in northeast Indianapolis The idea for the eclectic concept came about gradually. Dollive used to buy and sell Magic: The Gathering cards to make a living. It funded his expenses while attending Purdue University, and helped pay the bills after he graduated three years ago. But the finance major found it difficult to scale and do full-time. So he decided to open his own business. Doughnuts & Dragons started as an artisanal doughnut shop, evolving into adding a craft beer bar and finally a board game library. https://outline.com/wCX7Ek Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at February 10, 2019 06:01 PM (aKsyK) 349

OldDog-I am not an official person on here (Not a COB or anything) but as far as I'm concerned-as receiver of the prayer requests it's always fine to mention a need for prayer.

Ben Had, yes, I've started cooking more fish for her. Yes, she should eat more smaller meals, but I've been lucky to get her to snack few times a day and then small dinner.
Moki, she does somewhat ok with eggs. Just depends on the day. I can't figure out a pattern. Posted by: olddog in mo at February 10, 2019 06:04 PM (Dhht7) 361
Aldi's has some very good pizzas, both frozen and
fresh. We usually get the cheese and then doctor them up our own way. I've spoken with folks who work for their cheese supplier. They say Aldi's is very fussy and insists on top grade product.

Oh, yay for the after action thread! Of course, I just got home and this is likely to be willowed. So I'll probably post it again somewhere.
People were asking me "hey, does you nic have anything to do with that new Netflix show, Bandersnatch?" Why no, no it doesn't. Jabberwocky BY LEWIS CARROLL 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Wifey is trying her hand at home made pizza, from scratch. Everything, crust, toppings.
We have a pizza stone and a bamboo peel. Now she says our oven doesn't get hot enough, has to get to 500 degrees, which ours is a little shy of, being a standard residential type oven. Is this plausible? Posted by: navybrat, sometime commentater at February 10, 2019 06:08 PM (w7KSn) 370

I haven't tried Aldi's pizza or spaghetti sauce, but I'm pretty sure Newman's Own stopped making the spaghetti sauce I like (Sockarooni), so I'm on the lookout for a new favorite.

The day we found out about the pancreatic cancer I was 4hrs away from home going to work where my primary biz is located. She called me with the bad news, but said I didn't need to come home and would see me in 3 days. Didn't want to fight with her on the phone and said, "Sure, honey." Then proceeded to turn around and go home. When she saw me she cried and said she felt worse for messing up my work plans. That's the way she rolls and why I love her.

(((HUGS))) and prayers Olddog. Very rough trying to entice appetite but having to limit fat. I like candied ginger when I have run of the mill, couple day tummy upsets. If she can eat a bit, it may help with the nausea. I personally don't like any of the ginger teas but they work well for some folks. Lots of sugar in the tea. Maybe mint tea if she doesn't care for ginger.
I like white rice with sugar and cinnamon and a bit of milk, it was our poor folks rice pudding growing up so its got childhood comfort food association for me. Maybe crepes/egg pancakes with various favorite jelly or jams, or just toast and jam for easy light snacks that provide calories. I also like a bit of sour cream in oatmeal made with dried fruits, I don't use the fat free, but sour cream is something that tastes OK in the low fat or fat free version IMO.

I'm sorry, concrete girl - there were a lot of people on the original cookbook committee and we gave you all a general thank-you in the introduction. We only specifically listed people who proofread the chapters, and Bander for the illustrations. But I do remember that you were diligent about popping up in threads and reminding people to send in their recipes, so thank you again for that! In fact, we got recipes in such numbers that we couldn't possibly use everything, which was too bad, so we just tried to make sure we used something from everyone with a nice variety.

Here we are in Virginia and we have common roots upstate. Your wife insisted "I know you from somewhere" and after going through a laundry list of possibilities, we finally figured out. Anyway, it was so good to meet you and the SgtMaj. I hope to see you guys again! Posted by: Adirondack Patriot at February 10, 2019 06:33 PM (ZxU8C) 436
My one gripe about the venue was that the din of conversation drowned out the conversations.

Palerider, thanks. White rice has helped. However, what I didn't mention was that prior to gall bladder removal in May, she was having major esophageal issues.
This was from years of taking Advil for her migraines. Tore up her esophagus. Been going every 6-9 months to get it stretched so she could swallow. Sometimes toast is a challenge. Sometimes not. Posted by: olddog in mo at February 10, 2019 06:35 PM (Dhht7) 439

Posted by: All Hail Eris, She-Wolf of the 'Ettes 'Ettes I would vote for someplace less urban chic and with bourbons for less than $14. Also more conversation friendly acoustics. And maybe pool tables. But that takes nothing away from the pleasure of meeting and re-meeting some 'Ettes and whoever else was there.

Bander, I hear you. But unless you've tried to do a MoMe in this area, you have absolutely no idea how hard it is to do. We were so lucky that Nearsider was able to secure this place for us.
The other thing is that it was really convenient for those who flew in. They didn't need to rent a car because they could get from the airport to their hotel to the MoMe all on the Metro system. Posted by: bluebell at February 10, 2019 06:38 PM (U5tDi) 447

I'm feeling chatty, so here goes:
I only eat raw oysters in restaurants where I know the dudes in the back (where I have worked). Allow me to expand...and maybe burst a couple of bubbles... Seafood restaurants by necessity have to shuck a lot of oysters in advance to keep up with orders during service...so there are RACKS of oysters on the half shell in the walk-in. But the air in the refrigeration tends to dry them out, even if covered with plastic film. So, before placing these shiny orbs of goodness before you, they will take a chilled squeeze bottle of salt water and give each one a refresher shot, making them seem like they just opened them up. Yes, a common practice. Beware, this means they might be a couple days old. Oysters are rarely shucked to order. And if they are, prepare to find some grit in your dentures. If you're ordering cooked oysters (a la Rockefeller), the oysters probably come from a gallon can of fresh, shucked oysters that are placed on clean shells, topping added, and broiled. Nothing wrong with that...restaurants pay big bucks for fresh, shucked oysters in bulk--which is why the appetizer is so expensive (and you get it in a timely manner). Shucking oysters is time-consuming, and requires a certain amount of fearlessness and expertise. Most everyone I know has slid an oyster knife into their palm. But that's probably because of the beer. Best way to eat oysters as a novice? Go to a fundraiser. My (all volunteer) fire department holds an annual all you can eat ham (?) and oyster feast. Never understood the ham part. It's a BYOB event. Oysters are served fried or on the half shall. They have a whole fire company and volunteers in the truck bays shucking fresh oysters, and frying up battered oysters. Then, they have fire hoses to flush out the mess at the end of the night. My friend, Russo, holds the record for eating raw oysters: 121, with no aftereffects (we checked). He's 5'5 and weights about 135. Sorry if this is so long. I need to get a job.

olddog, milkshakes or even better malts. Mix a raw egg in the malt.

So we got an instant pot.....little overwhelmed. Anyone have any suggestions for getting started?
Posted by: westminsterdogshow.........the sidekick at February 10, 2019 06:33 PM (c1nDO) --- They can be a bit intimidating at first. Cook a few things and you'll start to understand the buttons and procedures a bit more, though. The weirdest part for me was getting adjusted to there not being an "on" or "start" button but instead just pushing what you want and then waiting for a few seconds to pass and it would begin. Rice turns out great and is possibly worth the cost just as a rice cooker alone. Rinse the rice and put 1:1 rice to water in the pot, flip the selector on top to the pressure cooking setting (vs slow cooker), and press the rice button. Chili is great after being pressure cooked, too. Use the saute setting to brown the beef and onions, peppers, and whatever you put in your chili that needs browning, then add the rest of the ingredients. Put the lid on and switch the selector to pressure, and IIRC there's a chili button that cooks for 10 minutes. I use the soup/stew button sometimes too because it gives the meat and beans such a great texture. Tongue-tender vs teeth-tender. I'll post some others soon, hopefully. I've just gotten busy but remind us next food thread. Maybe CBD would consider an instant pot thread or section? I'd be happy to help with it if so.

121 oysters. Russo is a lunatic.
Russo is a benchmark. I didn't count, but at a friends "bachelor party" (no strippers and it was at the KoC where the bride's father was a member) they had basically unlimited shuck your own oysters. I shucked a lot. Posted by: Bandersnatch at February 10, 2019 06:45 PM (fuK7c) Posted by: Ben Had at February 10, 2019 06:47 PM (kw9ZZ) 458

I'm thinking a calendar with pictures from MoMe's door prize winners. Eris, would you do a selfie in the T-shirt holding the cook book? No faces just the effect? Posted by: Ben Had at February 10, 2019 06:53 PM (kw9ZZ) 461

It was great meeting you as well. Ain't it strange to run into people from home when in an area far away? It's happened to me in FL, TX, CA and NV and it is always like having deja vous all over again. The Sgt Maj had a great time considering the morons she was among. She was pleasantly surprised. Hope to see you again soon as well. Posted by: Rocky Lombo's Pancreaus at February 11, 2019 12:04 AM (mUoYB) Processing 0.04, elapsed 0.0573 seconds. |
