Food Thread: Cooking Without Recipes
Chicken and Rice Soup with Garlicky Chile Oil
One of the pleasures of chile oil is how it lingers on your lips after the last spoonful. And it looks fantastic too.
[Hat Tip: commenter "Blake"]
Part of me is wary of the possibility that the slim-hipped hipsters of the world will begin to dominate booze making in America, but part of me thinks that this kind of stuff, while ridiculously expensive and unnecessary, is also loads of fun. "The Most Expensive Bourbon Ever Made"
Buoyed by the mature-beyond-its-years character and faint salinity of another Jefferson’s bourbon, Ocean—barrels of which are aged at sea—Zoeller sought to recreate conditions under which Kentucky whiskey historically traveled to market by flatboat, putting in just below the Falls of the Ohio and floated downriver to New Orleans and ports beyond. Zoeller’s hypothesis is that, while surrounding whiskey-producing states share a similar geology and climate to Kentucky, travel by boat is what gave bourbon made in the Bluegrass State its singular character and reputation. The effects of wind, water, temperature extremes, and time all caused the whiskey to constantly come into more contact with the charred insides of the barrels as it floated downstream.What happens when they hit upon one of these things that really does make the bourbon better? I can imagine a factory with an automated line that will receive bourbon barrels at one end, agitate them and heat them and freeze them and do all sorts of strange stuff, then belch them out the other end, ready to be bottled for our pleasure. It would be quintessentially American...and I just love that idea.
Yeah...this is from the end of last month, but I got a chuckle out of it, courtesy of commenter "Bitter Clinger."
It's so cold that beer can't be delivered in parts of the Midwest
It's also a powerful reason to drink more hard liquor, since that doesn't freeze until well below zero. In fact, drink cask-strength booze whenever possible!
A few years ago I was at a farmer's market in Vermont. It was late summer and everything was about as ripe as could be, including some great tomatoes and, weirdly, some fresh peas or beans or...whatever...I have no idea what they were. The seller wasn't much help (she was a Vermont hippy, barefoot, probably stoned, and certainly a socialist). But the peas were a revelation; incredibly flavorful and tender and sweet. So when I see this kind of stuff I am intrigued.
Southern Pink Lady Peas
They are clearly regional, and the odds of seeing them anywhere other than the South are between slim and none. But every place in America has something like this, and it is a testament to our independence that in spite of Big Food's best efforts, we do not all eat the same stuff!

Developed the recipe without a recipe.
Boneless chicken thighs: Check
Onions: Check
Garlic: Check
hot Pace picante sauce: Check
Toss boneless thighs, sliced onions and smashed/riced/sliced (your pick) garlic cloves in electric skillet. Pour over small jar of pace. (Note: must be hot Pace picante sauce. Not sure why, but the mild and medium just don't have much in the way of flavor)
Simmer and slowly break down the chicken thighs. This needs to cook about 3 hours, covered. The last hour, uncovered to boil off all the liquids.
Makes for great pulled chicken tacos.
No idea how I came with this, but this particular recipe hasn't really been modified since we first made this.

I use recipes for baking, but for cooking? Nah.
I discovered something interesting recently about sous vide. There are hundreds of times and temperatures possible for everything. But I'm a lazy fvck and just want stuff perfect and in the minimum time. So I pick up my meat thermometer with the minimum safe temps for everything and set the sous vide to that temp.
I was under cooking chicken -- temperature wise -- and it was a bloody mess. Took it up to 185 and it's juicy and tender and falling off the bone.
Beef I was overcooking and it became tough.

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of tartar cream until stiff.
Plop spoonfuls down on parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake 350F for a few minutes until crisp.
Can sweeten the whites, or spice up.

Egg drop soup. Or egg drop in any other chicken soup, just set it to simmer, swirl it once, and slowly pour it in so the movement of the soup draws it away and threads it out before it sets.

Thin with white wine, pour over chicken and bake. 10 mins. before done, top with grated swiss cheese. It's yummy, easy and makes a great lunch for work the next day.

Garlic. Don't like a ton of it in my food because inevitably (for me) that's all I can taste. It's much better if you roast it first and then use it doing an oven roast beef, when you make a slit in the meat and push a clove in, very mellow and tasty.

At one point in the routine, as he passed the ground, his assistant threw him a jump rope, and he jump ropes on the ring. At the top he tripped on that rope, and barely recovered. It did NOT look like a staged thing to excite people.

My dad tried once.
Something went wrong. When he opened the bucket, it was unspeakably rancid, and a cloud of horrible spores came out. It gave my friend a wicked fungal infection in his lungs.
Never tried a second time.

Sure, but do I set the burner to the fourth or the fifth notch? Now the pan is smoking. What's "low-medium"? The pan's on the burner but it's not getting warm.
It's trivial if you're doing it or you're right there, trying to come up with a step-by-step recipe is harder than it sounds. Something as simple as thin steel vs. cast iron pans changes the "recipe" a bit.

On Friday I had a flashback to Chick Fil A's creamy southwestern chicken soup I had a few years ago, and decided to come up with my own version.
I browsed recipes, didn't care for any of them, and made my own.
A new family favorite was born: we all liked it so much I made it again the next night.
An Everlasting Meal is a great book about cooking that way.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. I was in Germany doing a German job and just living Germanly when wife came over and got a civilian job with the Army. That meant petrol at American prices (yay!) and access to the PX.
The PX was like a parody of America. German grocery stores were tiny with narrow aisles. And it was all euro so you buy cheese in the cheese store and bread in the bread store and all that.
The PX had aisles twelve feet wide. The shopping carts were the size of SUVs. It seemed like a conscious propaganda attempt. "You miss America? Well here's some Fucking America!"

Tacos and Mexican rice it is. And grub worms for the Pileated Woodpecker out the kitchen window. He is working on his third hole this week.
I probably use recipes for one or two of the 7 dinner meals I make here. Meatloaf and meatballs im going to go to my recipe file because by adding too much or little of liquid or bread crumbs the dish is going to be soup or cardboard. A lot is made on the fly since I rotate out mebe 20 dishes or so and add 4 or 5 different 'specialties' each month. Last week the girls wanted spinach lasagna which is a pain in the ass with the prep running well over an hour before assembly. But it is very good, partnered with a nice green salad. Grocery shopping /Cooking is pretty structured here as it remains a way to save consistently and remain on a budget..

Some years ago we got 300 lbs of bear fat. It took 11 days rendering it
(outside). We made lots of soap. It works well as lard for baking and
deep frying. But filtering it was difficult. I eventually discovered
that milk filters in a conical metal fruit strainer in the oven worked
well. It works for getting honey from the cappings too.

There's no way in the world Nancy Pelosi would have a passing score. Which is only a couple wrong.

depending on where you live, there might still be time to take off the weed barrier on the sections you want to plant in and replace it with sheets of newspapers and/ or cardboard. As it disintegrates the soil becomes really nice.

The only thing that my wife makes which is acceptable is grilled cheese sandwiches. She *always* puts a lid over them in the pan. That seems to be the secret to getting the temperature high enough to melt the cheese. Lock in the heat.

The only pizza places around my town here in SC are chain places like dominoes and Pizza Hut. The Pizza Hut is OK but nothing to go wild about. The Italian place was great but alas they had a night club attached to the back of it run by the same family. They got busted for serving minors too many times and the whole shabang got shutdown.
There is an Italian place of in Florence if you like driving a long distance for supper. And it is just OK as it is also a chain. Olive Garden I think.

Whenever I go to Costco I buy one or two. They are always cooked correctly, and they are never dry. I can handle the aggressive salting, because it works well if I make something else with the chicken, like salad, or standing over the sink gnawing on a leg, which is my favorite dish.

Buy a pellet-fired grill and some wood pellets at Costco.
Buy a young ~3.5 lb. (although I've successfully gone up to 5.5 lbs with minimal additional cook time) whole chicken.
Clean/prep the chicken. Rub with your favorite rub in and out.
Heat grill to 450 ºF. Place chicken back down on grill. Close lid.
Come back 70 minutes later to perfectly grilled chicken. You can do two at the same time, if you'd like. Moist. Juicy. Flavorful.
The. Best. Chicken. Ever.

Yeah Bander, it's a thing. I've made grilled cheese sammies for over 40 years and before I knew *this one weird trick*. Tastes the same, doesn't scorch, spreads more evenly on the bread, easier to coat each side properly. Try it one time and see for yourself. What do you have to lose? 2 pieces of bread and a couple slices of cheese? Don't slather it on, just a thin coating

Speaking of non-prestigious cuts, I've gotten to like pork blade chops. So much flavor (and fat). I believe they are used by many of the better BBQ places for the meat for their sandwiches (I mean modern west coast urban places, not REAL places like Parker's in Wilson, NC).
I "dry brined" some this week, and it worked (I think). I pan fried them instead of grilling, just for a change; some herbs on to help make a flavorful crust. Seemed quite moist. But they are fatty, which helps with that, so not sure about the dry brining (just coated them with sugar and salt and left uncovered in fridge over-night).

The orchard that comes to our farmers market has all kinds, and I've tried a lot of them, all good. Really, the best pies are made with a mixture of different apples, I think.

Let's look at the schedule. He will have spent at least 6 hours in the air, after 2 hours of leaving home and the airport nonsense, and then arriving to see you in person.
Go to a restaurant on the first evening. You two have some catching up to do. One of many ideas here in Seattle is Salty's on Alki. Good food, good service, and the great view. Reserve a window view seat. You are looking at downtown Seattle your entire meal, because of the geography.
And you two can be at your house in about 10 minutes when you leave.

One of my favorites is an old Winesap apple. Tart as all get out. Many of the apple orchards in Wenatchee/Cashmere/Leavenworth have gotten rid of them, however, and grafted the newer varieties, the Honeycrisps, the Fujis, the Galas, and the other super sweet apples you find in grocery stores today. The new varieties are started in the lab, and then grafted onto the trunks of existing tree stock. Pretty interesting to see how it is done.
Gravensteins were used for applesauce and apple butter by my Mom and Grannie.

San Luis Obispo, the 'home' of Santa Maria style BBQ is in there, too.
They do ok with the oak-fired Tri-Tip. The small pink beans named pinquitos are the bomb, however.

Duncananthrax had to mention red oak fired tri-tip, and pinquitos.
I'm pleased with the low/slow gas grill treatment I do with tri-tip now (one with a dry rub, one usually marinated), but I'd forgotten about pinquitos. Have to see if I can find a recipe.

I believe Red Delicious were one of the first "engineered" foods,
product of one or more universities in WA or OR, after the war.
Logistically friendly, has other commercially advantageous
characteristics.
Not all such engineered stuff is bad, some is outstanding. Like
ollalieberries - a blackberry/raspberry hybrid invented by Oregon State
years ago (as I recall).
Marionberries. I believe created in Oregon many years ago. Like giant blackberries, and sweeter and juicier.
Fresh Marionberries, smashed up and piled on vanilla ice cream. OMG!
Marionberry pie. OMG!
Marionberry jam. OMG!
Touch mine and you will learn the alternative meaning of OMG!

Vic, the politics in that area isn't quite as insane as elsewhere here,
and the property prices I'll leave to CaliGirl - I'm sure they're far
above 15 years ago, but probably still nothing like the hyper-inflated
markets.
JAS - you mean Julian as in Julian? They have their own variety?
Thought golden delicious was (and I mean "was" - thought most of the
orchards were gone) the standard variety up there.
But to answer your question, as a kid, Manzanita Ranch. Visited many times.

The current "median property values" are $464/sf. But I never have like median prices which are halfway between the lowest trash property and the highest mansion price. I suspect the average price is much higher. Anything over $200/sf is insane in my book.

That comes from a Gaelic word that's something like "Ouiske", (Looking things up is cheating), which means 'water of life'. That's the same as Aquavit (Scandi) and Eau de Vie (Frog) and some other languages for what to call holy shit we just discovered distilled spirits.

In looking around online recipes, I notice the authors usually say something like "ask your butcher if he can do some tri-tips for you".
In SoCal (at least now - 40 years ago, doubt it) it seems tri-tip is as standard as New York Strip steaks or porterhouse. It's always there. As with almost everything else, I wait until deep discounted prices to buy, buy and cook 2 at a time.

It was. That's a deep childhood memory so who knows what's true.
The thing for people who aren't bluebell is that there were outdoor grinding thingies (I'm pretty sure that's the technical term) for turning apples into apple mush in New Hampshire. Uncle took us to a yard with a few of them and they were all stopped up with straw and mice living in the straw.
So we cleared out the mice and the straw and the mice poop and started making cider. We're talking 60s and I'm less than 10.

That's one of my favorite reverse engineered recipes. Remember nouvelle cuisinne? It was an 80s thing and two of it's major artifacts were small servings and you put the fish on top of the sauce.
Well there was a restaurant on Nantucket that served a fish on two sauces, one was garlic and butter and the other was some sort of raspberry vinaigrette. I figured out that I could just saute some raspberries with some garlic and add balsamic toward the end and it would come off as a fancy cooking technique.
