Food Thread: Bacon And Chocolate And Bacon And Chocolate!
Far be it for these august pages to take potshots at either of the Cuomo retards, because we should never mock the intellectually challenged. But...
End inconsistent curfew, food mandates for bars and restaurants
For more than a year now, our restaurant and bar owners have been subject to ever-changing regulations from the executive mansion. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has put more than 8,000 restaurants and bars out of business since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Between lockdowns, curfews and overregulation, the pandemic has simply been an unsustainable time for these businesses. While our restaurants need to be safe and responsible, they should not have been given the same rules as New York City restaurants.Imagine the amount of hubris necessary to assume that one's intellect is powerful enough to manage tens of thousands of businesses down to the type of foods they are permitted to serve with the liquor they sell at the bar? Or the times they must close to prevent the spread of a ubiquitous virus that isn't particularly deadly? Karma is a bitch, and I hope Fredo the Elder is kept dangling in the winds of sexual harassment claims from now until he dies of some horrible disease...sooner rather than later, as punishment for all of the evil he has perpetrated on the people of New York.
Peeps-flavored soda from Pepsi has the internet confused [Hat Tip: Vendette]
This is a really good idea. Sure, the focus is prepping, but the large and shallow shape makes this a very useful piece of outdoor cooking equipment. I am really tempted to make one...if I could find a plow disc blade and I knew how to weld. The DISCADA or COWBOY WOK I would have loads of fun with this thing getting roaring hot on my gas grill or even on top of my smoker. I am not sure what I would cook on it, but that's half the fun! [Hat Tip: redc1c4]
Gefilte Fish is a common holiday food for Jews, but it is much more traditional than delicious. It's actually sort of disgusting...a gelatinous fish-flavored ball with an accompaniment (horseradish) that tastes much better than most versions. My fellow NJ Moron Nevergiveup claims that there are actually good ones to be found, but I am deeply suspicious of this. The only ones I have ever enjoyed were my mother's version, which is just the French dish called "quenelles de brochet with a sauce Nantua," a hugely complicated dish that takes far too long to make. But I'm not making quenelles, and I am definitely not eating Gefilte Fish, so my accommodation is simple. I take some smoked salmon, give it a rough chop, mix in some minced shallots and creme fraîche, and serve it on corn tortilla chips. As a first course for a ton of people at the Seder it is really easy, and it sure does taste good!
One of the many fun and interesting things about traveling is the discovery of slightly odd or downright weird foods. I will often wander through supermarkets just to see how the prepared foods differ from ours. Hell, even staples can be a bit different in presentation or production. So why not? This isn't my go-to hot cross bun, but I would try one. Chocolate and peanut butter hot cross buns have the added benefit of being pretty straightforward (though not simple) to make, so if you want to channel your inner Brit, give it a shot. But what the hell is caster sugar? (see!)
Food and cooking tips, Large-breasted Muscovy ducks, young wild pigs, bartenders who use vermouth in Martinis (but not too much), pork belly that doesn't have 5-spice, an herb garden that actually grows herbs, beef short ribs that have meat on them (not the stupid little sliver of bone they sneak into the packages) and good tomatoes that aren't square, pale pink and covered with Mestizo E.coli: send to cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Any advocacy of French Toast with syrup will result in disciplinary action up to and including being nuked from orbit. And yes, shaking a Manhattan is blasphemy...it's in the Bible!

I only remembered somewhere around midnight. By then the Traeger had run out of pellets.
But the meat was fine. Well smoked. Not dry. Not a trace of gamey flavor.
Who knew forgetting could be an effective cooking technique?

What's upsetting is how many old restaurants have been destroyed by the lockdowns, the ones that have lasted decades or close to a century.
On the North Shore MA, the century-old Wenham Tea House shut down. I;m sure many more that didn't get mentioned in the news. Sad.

I looked up Peterson's recipe for Sauce Nantua and that alone is quite a pain, let alone making the quenelles. Gads.

If they gave me the choice between $15 an hour and no tipping or $0.00 per hour and tipping, I'd choose the latter.
$15 an hour and no tipping guarantees you will stay in relative poverty forever with your $30 k per year guaranteed salary.
I have made at least twice that nearly every year of my entire 30 years in the biz.

A few years ago I tried a Barrell Bourbon and was not impressed, but lately they've been getting good reviews. It seems that maybe they're trying to become the Compass Box of the Bourbon world in that they are finishing or aging bourbons in idiosyncratic ways then blending them for an all new taste.
So, here we go:
Barrell Armida - 3 bourbons finished separately in Pear brandy, Jamaican rum and Sicilian amaro casks then blended together at 112 proof to make you lose your mind!!!!. Pear upfront then the bourbon comes in and things get kinda caramel-appley, then various fruits start flying around, some bitterness and what tastes to me like ginger on the fade out. I like it. But, you may not. It's the Joker of the bourbon world. Not for the timid and set in their ways.
Barrell Bourbon Batch 27 - labeled as a "cherry bomb" and yes, it tastes very fruity and cherry-ish. Drinks very hot at 112 proof. Probably, nice to drink with a ball of ice and see how things shift at different dilutions. Would make a great (though pricey) Manhattan(shaken but of course) or Old Fashioned.

Barrell Dovetail - finished in port, rum, cabernet casks, then blended at 124 proof. Smooth, fruity, a bit marshmallowy. A bit hot. Nice sipper and probably an excellent though pricey mixer.

When I was in Hungary, it was like the worst of both worlds.
I'm sure the staff were paid a "living wage", but they also surcharged an 18% gratuity to your tab whether you want to tip or not.
Thus, the personality of the service was like banging a hooker who was filing her nails waiting for it to be over.

Or is there some molecular gastro stuff that will provide a moisture barrier?
Other than that, have you tried cooking the bacon in the oven surrounded by parchment and another cookie sheet pressing down on the whole thing? It's supposed to produce flat bacon. The thing is I don't know how you check for doneness.

I haven't done a dive in years, probably would do the review course before going on a trip, but without the investment of time and $ in dry-suit diving, I decided I was pretty much a warm-water diver.

I recommend Meathead Goldwyn's website (amazingribs.com) for advice on bacon, curing, and smoking. He doesn't really have a recipe for buckboard bacon, but I used his Canadian bacon recipe. It has a calculator based on how many pounds you are curing that will tell you how much to use of each ingredient. (Prague Powder is pink salt.)
That said, I think next time I'd use something that's between his Canadian and standard bacon recipes because the liquid in the Canadian bacon made the volume almost unmanageable for my pots and fridge.

I know that general consensus is that gas is better than electricity. I had gas in my apartment before buying this house, which only has electricity. Yes, the flame makes it a lot easier to adjust temperatures. But I think the tradeoff of being ridiculously easier to clean is a worthy tradeoff.

My SIL is a very good cook. That is one of the most memorable meals I have had. Nothing like having mussel's that were only in the ocean an hour or two earlier.Oh the things I could get diving, lobster, mussel, scallop. And if I spearfished (which I never did) there were so many things available. Just had to make sure you did not go over the limit. In NY waters I had to have a license to get lobster and their were restrictions on the size and only so much per day. Of course we never took females with eggs. I do not think there was a limit on mussels.

Nope, Northeast wreck diver. I have a dry suit and I did decompression diving. My deepest dive was only 167 feet. But my favorite wreck to dive on is the USS San Diego which is sunk in 110 feet of water off of Captree, Long Island. I can spend a lot of time on the bottom diving a Nitrox mix. :-)

Join the Deplorable Gourmet on MeWe to be the first to know! It’ll probably be a while, though. I have to recover from all of the pies and cakes I made over the last couple of months. And I plan to make the peppermint brownies from the Deplorable Gourmet on Easter. (I have created a tradition of using up the last of the Christmas canes on Easter Sunday.)

Paired it with a never-before-made pineapple kiwi coconut cracker crisp (like an apple crisp, just with saltines and unsweetened coconut added to the dairy-free crisp topping), sliced navel oranges, and a fresh French bread.
And then it will be 3 more meals (another 1 as the star, 1 as the "use up the remnants," and 1 for the bone - my spouse always loves that last one)...

I agree. I've also had both gas and electric in past homes.
My current home has a glass-top electric range for that easy cleaning.
For fast heat for Chinese cooking, I have a carbon-steel wok, and a portable induction cooker to heat it up. It's not as powerful as a jillion-BTU gas stove, but it's fast enough for me; it smokes the conduction-heat range. (Not literally.)
The rest of my cookware is stainless steel, so it's not ferromagnetic, so the induction cooker doesn't work on it. Or under it.

Considering the quality of ingredients, I was borderline shocked at how bland it all was. And, the milk never really cooked off or down. It just got even more watery. What happened to the wonderful, silky sauce that the NYT and everyone raved about? It wasn't greasy in the least, so that wasn't a problem. But damn. A lot of work for no payoff. I won't be trying that one again. And it smelled so good cooking. I only covered for first 30% of cooking time (the lady that posted her version said she preferred covered the whole time) as I wanted it to get a little crispy - which it didn't. So why the sauce didn't cook down I have no idea. Was the chicken too juicy? It was really just a fryer. Meh. But hey! The mashed potatoes and Swiss chard were great.

All - thanks for the response re ovens. One convection, then.
Have an electric stove-top, desperately want to convert that to gas - with large capacity, and as Chi-Town noted, a high-temp burner included. Of course the ventilation becomes an issue the more interesting and ambitious your stove-top adventures become, and don't want a hood or other overhead changes. Current stove is old/cutting edge at the time, has a stove-top level mounted suction fan that takes down the products coming out of pans pretty well.
Have a bit of an unraveling sweater situation. Ovens died and need to be replaced, but kitchen needs a few other tweaks (gas stove, fancy pantry make-over with modern rolling drawers/bins etc, new floor). Efficiency and probably total cost sez do them all at once, being in a niggardly mode and lazy sez just replace the ovens.

Since you've got a Meyer lemon tree (or access thereto), let me suggest an alternative whole-chicken recipe.
A roasted whole chicken, with Meyer lemon zest/slices under skin/in the cavity, roasted with shallots that are then blended into a gravy using the pan drippings. I do mine on the grill, indirect heat, applewood chips, for another flavor element. It's fantastic. Can list summary of recipe if you desire.

Don't know which USS San Diego that is - the one from WWII (light cruiser), which was the first US ship into Tokyo Bay after the surrender, and I believe first to dock at a Japanese base (Yokusuka), was used for target practice off WA state in the 50s, I think. There's a nice monument to her down near the USS Midway in the harbor, she saw a lot of action in the Pacific.

That sounds good. Or even softened butter with lemon zest mixed in (plus some herbs, if you're inclined) would be tasty

Meh, baby. Very very meh.
That's a Naked Chef recipe. He's not as bullet-proof as Gordon Ramsay. Still, a complete miss in my book.

Though currently plagued by an electric stove and lack of a cast iron pan, I finally made some Vietnamese caramel chicken not long ago. I loved it. Very simple.
Unfortunately the boss, surprisingly, was meh on it. So - off the list. Will have to get it when restaurants are normal again and we are ordering separate items. There was a place in Saigon, that also did the thing where they bake rice in a small pot that is then broken to serve it, that had amazing caramel pork or chicken.

Grew up in SD, during the era of a huge navy, there were open houses almost every weekend, dad and I must have been on 50 ships over the years, of every type (except nuke subs, those stay out at Ballast Point and no tours, or soup, for you, civilians). Did get on some nukes later, for work.
Also had friends whose dads were Navy or naval aviators, so also a fair amount of access that way. Including a few hours "playing with" the Bonhomme Richard, WWII-built, Vietnam-era carrier, one Sunday night when my buddy's father (fighter squadron skipper) went aboard to do paperwork before a deployment.

And qdp - you're discovering chorizo NOW? Mexican? Man, that's the aroma of junior high school breakfast, and a zillion meals and breakfasts and late-night drunken binges from good fresh-Mex carry-outs. And a place sadly now gone, on State Street in Santa Barbara, had killer chorizo enchiladas (a few of us actually ducked out of a friend's wedding reception early to go eat there).

Sam (and others) use beef stock for their consommé, I use chicken stock, because it's a little less of a "dark" or strong taste. I always splurge on the best quality stock, because it's such a big component of a dish. I'd make my own if I had time.

They need dried out, you can do that by either husking them and using the sun, you can near bake them, or you can use a dehydrator.
Then they need ground when dried, a blender is easiest but one can probably use a pestle or grind bowl.
In the event of logistical breakdown and a bog OOPS, acorn bread with honey will probably be 5 star fare.

I've got all kinds of successful chicken and lemon recipies (thanks rhomboid) and yeah, the meyers are the orange of the lemon world. Did this need something more like a Eureka? Don't know, don't care. Yes, I could try thickening, but all the swooning was how it reduced and made a crazy delicious sauce. Even if it were thickened, the lack of flavor was what surprised me. A LOT of sage, zest from 2 lemons and a stick of really expensive cinnamon. I'm thinking that although he said whole leaves, and whole sheets of zest, a little prep might bring out some flavor.
Regardless, there's SO many things to do with chicken that are delicious... The chicken itself was tender and juicy, but just not compelling in any manor. What's weird is how many people re-posted it and absolutely raved over it - including 2 NYT articles. They lie about everything, don't they?
