Food Thread: Bacon, Books, And Bourbon
Pumpkin Spice is of the devil. It's ubiquitous this time of year, and if anything it seems to be getting more common, if that's even possible. I was poking around the internet a few days ago, looking for interesting cocktails for you maniacs to try, and it was difficult to find seasonal drinks that didn't have pumpkin spice in them. Come on! I get that it makes sense with bourbon or rye, but a coffee and pumpkin spice martini? That's overkill. Or pukeworthy.
Fine...here's a simple cocktail for people who love cinnamon, which is the most interesting ingredient in pumpkin spice anyway. I'm not sure I would call it a cinnamon old fashioned, because it really isn't one, but if you need a pumpkin spice fix that isn't redolent of a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks, give it a try.
England is probably lost, but any country that makes Steak pie can't be totally unsalvageable. Besides, They had me at suet puff-pastry crust.
It's late October! How the hell did that happen? And that means before you know it Christmas and Hanukah will be upon us and because the odds of the supply chain miraculously righting itself are long, it's probably time to think about gifts. But not just any gifts...How about cook books? And books about cooking? And books about the chemistry of cooking? And encyclopedias of food? There may be a trend there... Anyway, here are two shelves at Dildo Estates with a seemingly random assortment of cook books and such. I have two other shelves of books in other parts of the house, so I might mention something that isn't visible, but everything I will suggest has gotten the Dildo seal of approval. And those links are not to Amazon. In the future I will try to link to places whose corporate culture is not quite so antithetical to everything most of us believe.
I have no idea why this recipe caught my attention. I usually don't eat pastry, and I am not a fan of apples. But for some reason, maybe the appetizing photos, I clicked on it, and it loks like a really good recipe!
big apple crumb cake
So who is going to make it for me?
Avocados sans thumbprints, beef short ribs that have meat on them (not the stupid little sliver of bone they sneak into the packages), carrots that don't taste like stalky chalk, spare bottles of Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon, an herb garden that actually produces herbs (but no basil!), well-marbled NY strip steaks and elk backstrap to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. And don't think that you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm watching you...all of you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

CBD, looks like you use the same wooden boxes as bookshelves that I do.
Also funny that bourbon comes up. I've been looking for a great recipe for bourbon baked beans. The wing fast food place, Wing Stop (now Thigh Stop, soon to be Foot/Neck/Gizzard Stop) had fantastic BBB, but stopped serving 'em about two years ago, da bastards!!

If you need a recipe to boil a lobster maybe stick to pop tarts.
1. Bring a pot of salted water to boil.
2. Toss in lobster.
3. Drink a rum and tonic.
4. Remove lobster and eat.

2nd biggest pike I ever caught (13+ #) was trying to eat a little walleye that was trying to eat a minnow bottom fished off a little crappie pole on 4#line.
The hook caught in her mouth, the line came out the back behind their floating upper jaw bone thus missing all those teeth.
Took ten minutes to wear her out enough to net.
The big pike are females.
I released her but ate plenty of smaller pike. They smoke, bake, pickle and ceviche well. Just have to cut or eat around the Y bones.

Yes, so far I've been the only one brave enough or stupid enough to bring minor children to the TXMoMe. I'm surprised CPS hasn't come by to ask questions yet. She did try to finagle an original MisHum painting... maybe the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

Posted by: tcn in AK, Hail to the Thief at October 24, 2021 03:33 PM (qvjMx)
And I like the texture. Thin bacon is fun when it is crispy; the texture is marvelous! But I think the thick stuff provides more flavor, and I like the chewiness combined with the crispy exterior.
That is exactly the way it comes at Kroger from the Butcher's case. Was $5.99 lb before August. No idea now. Closest Kroger is 40 miles away. Used to be 1/2 mile.

I would not go to all that trouble with Pacific salmon, but Atlantic salmon is mostly mushy so that probably would help.
The simplest is to brush the filet with a little olive oil and then slice a lemon really thin and put it over the top of the flesh. You can add pepper or maybe a little garlic (very little) and then flop it on the grill. You can use lemon juice instead of the sliced lemon if that's what you have. Very simple. Lets the flavor of the salmon shine.

Even if it's wet-cured bacon, you could wipe the mold off it and cook it safely.
I'd ignore the cook by date, or at least extend it a month in the fridge.
Dry cured don't go bad.

As part of the sous vide process, a vacuum unit is the greatest. Vacuum sealed bacon, either cooked or uncooked, is good for six months to a year. The dependability of your electricity supplier in 'The Age of Biden' is the key variable.

Even though we live in the south, Mrs VIA decided to make Matzo Ball soup yesterday.
So off we went to find the ever present boxes of soup and matzo ball mix that one finds everywhere in the northeast.
First was the local Food Lion. Not only nothing to be found, but the poor cashier didn't even know what Kosher was, when Mrs VIA was trying to ask if maybe the store had a Kosher section.
So off to Publix, where the word 'Kosher' was a foreign sounding word to the staff there too.
BUT...it turned out that there was a small overlooked section, and there it was. Two boxes of the soup mix. Made up with the hand picked meat from the rotisserie chicken from BJ's the day before, and a meal to die for.

We've played around with sizing the strips as we cut them.
Half size cooks a bit faster. Last time, I trimmed the top more, and made my wife the bits she likes to cook with (green beans, e.g.). The strips are maybe 1/2" shorter than store bought, but still fit on the cookie sheet well.
We freeze what fits on a cookie sheet, which, medium sliced, is about 12oz.
We do over cook the bacon (quantity) I guess, but we are only paying about $4/#, so it's a minor indulgence.

Aluminum foil on the cookie sheet. Bacon not overlapped, but can touch.
Set the oven to 400 and put the bacon in. When it comes to temp, set the timer to 6 minutes (if full size, 4 if half sized) and check it.
Wife likes hers 8 minutes, I like mine about 6.

Times and temps may vary, but one thing is for certain, there is no reason to make bacon in any other fashion than baking it in the oven.
The only other method I can condone stems from my restaurant kitchen experience, which would be throwing it in the deep fat fryer to get it done in a hurry.

Last time I looked at the price, Aldi's thick bacon, either Applewood or smoked was $4.99/ pound, which yielded 12 thick succulent slices. We tend to cook them to 90% of done, then shrink wrap and freeze about three slices per package.
Thawed, then wrapped around sea scallops, at 350 degrees for half an hour is perfection for both. Or quickly pan-fried for a couple of minutes before scrambled eggs, perfection. Or nuked in the microwave for a BLT, perfect.
But Aldi's is a secret best not revealed to the left.

If you can ever find cotton flower honey, buy all the man has. It's the best, most pure, most flavorful honey I've ever tasted.
I've never seen it on a shelf, though. I collected it out of a downed tree on a golf course surrounded by cotton fields in Alabama decades ago.
Ruined other honey for a long time.

Hi Donna,
Had walleye twice the last time we were in Wisconsin. Superb! Can't decide if I like that or the perch better. Might be a tie since they were both delicious.
A few lake in Virginia have started to stock walleye. That gives me hope.

I have threatened the last two years to come. Alas, work has been insane. October is the culmination of wedding season, and this year we added to it providing bartenders for the UT Knoxville skyboxes and bartenders for a series of concerts in October in Knoxville.
I've had 25+ bartenders out on jobs every weekend this October, and some weeks upwards of 40.
I think I'm going to stop expressing interest in MoMes and instead just show up at one unannounced and uninvited. That's basically my entire life's history of attending parties anyway.

Never, ever let anyone know that Aldi's has precooked turkey breast year around for less then $4.99 a pound. Tasty, delicious turkey breast. We throw it into the sous vide for a while until it hits about 160 degrees then use our slicer to carve it down into delicious sandwich material. Then slice up onion, tomato, etc. for a perfect sandwich for the next couple of days.
But some things are better left unsaid, because the wrong people will find out.

I am many things, but a bullshitter about food? I am not. Unless you are on your deathbed and want confirmation that your 40 year quest to duplicate grandma's goulash recipe finally bore fruit, I tell the truth when people ask me.
It was excellent. Really, really delicious, and I think making it in chunks rather than shredded makes it even better.

I think it's a toss up which was better: the carne asovada or the pazole. Both used similar ingredients and seasonings, but both also had subtle complexities to make them very distinct. A gnat could starve on the difference as to which was better. Thanks for making it for us! (I forget who made the pazole, but it, too was delicious!)

They are doing great. Yes, thankfully they survived. Luckily they were able to put tables and chairs under canopies and they decorated with plants, etc. That was last year. They might still have that, I didn't even pay attention, but we were indoors. It was every bit as good as ever.

Yes, I had those intentions this year as well.
I've never visited Washington D.C., nor has Little.
I thought it might make a decent combined trip, but I pretty much figured D.C. was under some kind of mask mandate this year and as documented, I'm certifiably maskaphobic and figured we wouldn't be able to visit the museums and such.
By next year they will probably make me show the vaccine card I don't have.

We have a spot on the Wilmington River (off the Savannah River) here. Husband and a couple of buddies start in the early afternoon building a hot fire (sometimes with pecan wood), and the washed oysters go on a large piece of metal on top of the hot fire, are covered with wet burlap until they "know" the oysters are done. We have lots of tables set up with condiments and buckets for the oyster shells. The shells are carried to a local place that cleans them and puts them back on the oyster beds. A good roast with lots of people lasts for hours. Glorious. We also set up a full bar and there are lots of things for the non-oyster lovers to enjoy. Last year we had about eighty people.

1. Cook pasta; drain
2. Dump in a bowl with a jar of Kroger's truffle cheddar mac 'n' cheese sauce and mix
3. Add in shredded truffle gouda and cheddar because hey
4. Bake at 400 for an hour
The secret to this recipe is that the cheese sauce is a year past its "best if by" date, so it has that extra tang.

I'm not too far behind you. Mrs B got a frigging Frankenstein boot on the loud pedal.

One of the nice things about the MoMe that I really enjoy is meeting the fellow denizens and then seeing their comments and actually knowing who they are. When I met Mr. B and his brother last year, I was like "who the heck are YOU?" But now I know and every time I see a comment from Mr. B or Ladyl or Tom Servo or Jewells or any one of the other people that I only really became aware of when I met them face to face, it's like I really am part of this community. Sort of.
As far as food goes, I'm enjoying some linquine with sauce from a jar (yeah, I know) and some ice cream I made myself in my new ice cream maker, that I got because I was inspired by the folks here. Imagine that.

Loved seeing/meeting for the first time everyone at the TxMoMe, and hope to see all of you - and more! - at next year's shindig!
