Food Thread: It's A UFO! Quick...Eat It!
From longtime commenter and cocktail aficionado "Naturalfake" comes a gentle correction of my total screwup from last week. I touted the "Corpse Reviver #2" as a wonderful cocktail...and it is! But I had lost my version of it in a PC crash several months ago and just grabbed one off the internet because I was lazy and stupid. I made the obviously idiotic assumption that the recipes would be the same, and didn't bother to check it against my printed copy in my personal cook book. Dumb. Here's a good recipe.
Corpse Reviver #2 3/4 oz gin
3/4 oz Kina Lillet (substitute with Cocchi Americano or Tempus Fugit Kina L'Aero d'Or)
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz triple sec/Cointreau Shake with ice. Pour into glass rinsed with absinthe or just add a dash or two of absinthe to the mix (the lazy man's way).
Garnish with lemon twist. Like most of these classic cocktails. It's super easy, barely an inconvenience. Cheers!
In addition to exposing my stupidity, it also highlights one of the problems with the explosion of cooking websites. Everyone wants to churn out lots of new recipes, but there is a reason why old recipes are still around...many cooks have perfected them over many years. So a new riff on an old standard may be the best thing in the whole world, but it usually is a silly change that does nothing to improve the original, and usually makes it weird. That's why classic cookbooks are in demand.
[Hat Tip: Misanthropic Humanitarian]
Does anyone think about coleslaw? It's usually an afterthought that comes in those ridiculous tiny paper cups that soak through halfway through the meal because it is drenched in dressing. And because it was made a week ago the cabbage no longer crunches, so it is an insipid and mostly ignored part of a meal. But at home? You can make great coleslaw in about 10 minutes that beats anything from your local diner or casual restaurant. There are tons of recipes for the dressing, so choose one that pleases your palate. I use one from "The Thrill Of The Grill," which is a solid cookbook and a good source for basic stuff. Their recipe uses too much sugar and celery seed and no hot sauce (damned commies!), but that is easily fixed. But the vegetables are a big deal too! I use half green and half red cabbage, add a whole lot of grated carrots, some thin-sliced red onion, and if I have a jalapeno or other spicy chile I'll mince that for some extra pop. Green onion too if I have it. I use a big butcher knife (12" curved blade) to quarter and slice the cabbage nice and thin. I think the longish slices add to the texture. Mix it all up, add the dressing (not too much! You can always add more) and let it sit for a couple of hours to soften the cabbage a bit. And use your hands to mix it. I put on a pair of gloves and just go to town...it is by far the easiest and best way, and sort of fun too. One last thing; taste it just before you serve. It will change, and might need a splash of hot sauce or some fresh cracked pepper or a pinch of salt, or even some more celery seed (shudder).
Why yes! I do want one of those! That's an 8.5" "Fait Tout," which is simply a do-everything pot. It's a great design that has fallen out of favor for reasons that I cannot fathom. Although the solid silver version that you see above is a bit pricey. $6,800 for a pot seems extravagant, but in the interests of cooking scholarship I would be happy to be given one so I can try it out. Solid Silver Cookware makes perfect sense, because silver is a marvelous conductor of heat, and it is almost completely non-reactive. But that's for metals...the best conductor of any compound is diamond, although I am unsure how one would make a sauté pan out of grandma's engagement ring. [Hat Tip: the guy who doesn't want attribution]
Just send me oysters. Lots of oysters, and I will provide special dispensation for those without taste who insist upon maple syrup with their French Toast. And pork rib roasts from the front end of the pig where all the good and fatty meat lives, 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 the rest of you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm still watching you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

Greetings:
Back in the Bronx of my youth ('50s and '60s), there was an unusual ice cream treat known as a Melo-roll. It was a paper-wrapped cylinder of ice cream that fit into an equally unusual cone with a cylinder fitting space across the top of the cone.

the best conductor of any compound is diamond, although I am unsure how one would make a sauté pan out of grandma's engagement ring.
Close, oh so close.
Diamond WAS the record holder for thermal conductivity, especially isotopically pure diamond (e.g. with 13C only) but graphene is the new champ, at least within the graphite plane.
As to how to make it, there are ways of making diamond now that result in thin films. Specifically, this is done by a process called chemical vapor deposition. One would assemble pieces of these thin films into something approximating the shape of a pan, then grow the pieces together by overgrowing a thin film atop them by homoepitaxy. The pan would be fragile, but could be thickened by prolonged growth.
It occurs to me, though, that your question was rhetorical. Never mind.

So, one of my farm box serrano peppers and a full head of carrot tops when into my "it's not a pesto" pasta salad dressing today, and it's so good (declared the spouse on his taste before it went in the fridge). The carrot tops were more bitter than normal probably b/c the carrots probably grew longer, so to my food processor, I added a tsp of honey and a TB of nutritional yeast (good funk and sweet to cover bitter) with my normal glop of garlic, 2 green onions, 1 lemon (juice and zest), a huge handful of basil (to make it 2 parts carrot top, 1 part basil), salt, and glugs of olive oil til it blended. I used a pint's worth of my garden's cherry tomatoes and a whole lb of pasta and voila - a great and original pasta salad.
That's one food that folks always just leave as "suck" just like colelsaw. It can be so good if you let it!

I stopped by the grocery today to get corn and buns for the cookout.
As I wandered around the produce section I thought it odd that in late July, damn near August there were no watermelons in the store. Small green melons but normally this time of year wouldn't you expect to see 12 to 15 pound beauties all over the grocery?

Made Asian slaw the other night to accompany tempura shrimp. I use the Cuisinart slicer disc for the cabbage and shredder disc for the carrots.
A small cabbage yielded about 10 cups sliced. Recipe called for 5 cups, so I doubled all the other ingredients.
Good thing Hub likes slaw because we had it with everything for 3 or 4 days! Maybe this should have been posted to FWP.

Aldi's had a sale here, so I have cut canteloupe in my fridge. It's one fruit I've grown to really love as an adult, and I have 3 folks who have now also decided they like it, so I can buy a whole one and not have it go bad.
For me, I always go sweet or savory with it - I drizzle raw honey or balsamic glaze (not the vinegar, but the cooked down version) on it, depending what my mood is. I rarely eat it plain. No proscuitto with the balsamic glaze b/c proscuitto tends to always be dairy prepped...

The best cole slaw recipe is from my old standby, the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, onion (a bit), mixed with mayo, vinegar, a bit of sugar, celery seed, salt and pepper. Basic and delicious. I actually prefer it with a vinaigrette dressing, but both are good.

I finally got a chance to try a dry aged steak, one of those things I've read about but never tasted. It was denser, more meaty (if that makes sense). It was good but not so much better than a regular steak that it is worth the extra cost. We got some on a manager's special at half off.
I did fry it in cast iron, naturally, in a mix of mostly butter and some olive oil. After turning it the first time, I put in some crushed garlic and rosemary sprigs. When they flavored the fat, I ladled it on top of the meat. Good move and one I will keep in mind for other recipes. About two minutes on all sides left the interior rare with a crusty surface, just as I like it.

Red slaw (or Carolina slaw) is the side to go with.
Vinegar-based. Lasts longer and doesn't get that 'drenched in mayo' tendency.
Or another regional variation: Pepper Hash, if people even make that stuff anymore.

I wonder whether it makes sense to deposit a very thing layer of diamond on an aluminum pan for the conductivity just on the surface.
Probably not.
When chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond was first developed, that particular use was one of the first thoughts. The problem is that the process is very slow, so it's not economical for anything other than very high value-adds like a heat spreader on computer chips. A related process can be used to make diamond-like carbon (DLC) which is not as good as diamond thermally but much easier to grow. In the end, though, it too simply wasn't economical for pans.

Cantaloupe and watermelons stacked to the ceiling in stores around here. I have found a melon called dewlicious. A cross of honeydew and cantaloupe. It is a better melon than either of the others.

That sounds really good. A good honeydew melon is a thing of beauty.
Our Costco sells a type of cantaloupe called Tuscan melon, and it's sweeter and therefore more delicious than the regular kind.

Never had to take a drug test, but have been told that eating a poppyseed bagel before a drug test can give you a positive result.
Posted by: redridinghood at July 31, 2022 04:23 PM (NpAcC)
Had that happen to me. Fortunately, it was in New York. The doctor asked if I'd had a poppy seed bagel in past few days. Must have been a low trace amount, because he seemed happy with my answer.

So, for dinner, I'm letting it be kids' night again (thus the pasta salad above). Because they don't care about how flavors go together, we're having Thai Peanut Glazed baked chicken tenders and strawberries and blueberries with the pasta salad.
I like to call this dinner a "buffet" b/c it doesn't really fit together, but then neither do buffets, but everything tends to taste really good anyway!

I've got a question that one of you Morons will be able to answer: What's a good substitute for clam chowder?
Friday night, there was no clam chowder at a favorite restaurant. The price for a case of clams went from less than $100 to more than $200.
That means that clam chowder will be off my personal menu, too.

And for dessert - Duncan Hines fudgy brownies (prepared per the box) with 2 Aldi's dark chocolate sea salt single serve bars chopped and sprinkled on top before baking. One kid couldn't wait for dessert and cut into the center of the brownies b/c that was where he saw the most candy. Sigh.

Carvel ice cream, that takes me back. There aren't many around any more, maybe one or two I've seen, they used to be everywhere. Particularly nice to stop in after a day at the beach at Smith Point, parched and sunburnt, ready for something ice cold and creamy.

Yes, the vinaigrette is really delicious on it! I find ALL store-bought or restaurant cole slaws too sweet. The recipe I use for the creamy dressing calls for, I think, a couple teaspoons of sugar (to about 5 cups of veggies). I just use a teaspoon and frankly if it weren't for my husband I wouldn't even bother putting it in. But it gives just a touch of sweetness.

You can also look for frozen clams - they should be around at Asian grocers (like Hmart) and let you control the amount used b/c they are individually flash frozen.
And if all else fails, make a bacon veg chowder, but add 1 bottle of clam juice (drop either milk or broth to keep the liquid the same), so you still get lots of clam flavor...and if you already use clam juice bottles, double it and drop other liquids...

Just a guess that small pieces of squid might be used. Of course, you have to be careful not to overcook it or it turns into a rubber band, a tough one. Another possibility would be to use a firm white fish, perhaps pieces of cod.
Or just say to hell with the seafood and make a corn chowder with crispy bacon bits on top.

If you, like me, like to print off recipes from the internet, don't assume that they will always be there. I've occasionally found when I've gone back to find a certain recipe to send a link to a friend or print another copy for myself, sometimes the recipes or the websites themselves have vanished.
So my recommendation is that if you find one you like, print it, try it, make notes on it, then put it in a page protector and a binder, and don't assume you can always find it again!

Hey, I've got a food comment. Seeds may spoil in Summer heat. That's the short form.
We dropped peanuts from our diet, mostly, long ago. We tried things like "almond butter," but dang it's expensive. Eventually, we started making our own sunflower seed butter. Dump a bag of roasted unsalted seeds and some oil into the Cuisinart and puree. Simple. Except for cleaning the Cuisinart - the designer of which should spend eternity in cleaning-the-blender hell.
Oh, uh, anyway, after Milady Jo had mixed up two batches of sunflowerseedbutter, I tried some. Slightly rancid? Did weeks and weeks of really hot weather spoil the seeds right in the bag? Or maybe my taste buds were off?
She made another batch with fresher seeds and I tried that. Oohhh, yeah, good stuff - how could I have ever thought the rancid stuff might be okay!?!!
My 1st breakfast is usually yogurt, sunbutter, honey, with some blueberries and sometimes banana. And cinnamon. Regular habits are a good thing - it's a breakfast I can prepare half-asleep before the coffee fully kicks in.
Excuse me... I need to go get a toothpick.

When I was stationed at RTC Great Lakes we did the pee tests for all incoming recruits the minute they stepped off the buses. We got some random intakes that had a whole bunch of positive test results for heroin. So the Captain at the drug lab over on the NTC side tried an experiment and ate a poppy seed bagel. He tested positive later that day and then he upped the lower hit limit on the test for opium/heroin. We literally kicked out recruits that should not have been discharged.

Remember this from when I was a corpsman...
An entire of bus of recruits failed their drug test. One (yes ONE) guy said this doesn't make sense and did some checking. The bus stopped at a food place that was famous for their poppy seed buns.

I will say, the conveniece of deshelled and cleaned frozen clams (and mussels - this is my fam favorite) can't be beat.
I had Hmart's frozen eel yesterday in my eel roll bowls, and that was fantastic...they had a sale for 12 oz for $9 (which is about 1/2 off and makes 4 bowls) last week and I really wish they had that sale all the time!

When chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond was first developed, that particular use was one of the first thoughts. The problem is that the process is very slow, so it's not economical for anything other than very high value-adds like a heat spreader on computer chips.
One other point: there is a difference between a thermal spreader and a heat sink. A thermal spreader moves the heat around, but it ultimately has to have somewhere to go, e.g. a radiator. A heat sink has to be large in terms of heat capacity in comparison to the source output so that it can sequester the heat. This wouldn't work for a thin layer of diamond on a pan unless it can move the heat elsewhere, say to other pan layers or the sidewalls. That's why I have real doubts about the efficacy of pans with a few microns of copper on them. It looks pretty, but it doesn't really work in terms of heat dissipation unless the copper layer is thick enough to move the heat to relatively cool metal.

If you use canned clams, the secret is to use evaporated milk. That way you don't have to cook the clams again, which turns them into rubber.
Start with bacon. Sautéed and add onion, celery and some cubed potatoes. Add the evaporated milk and boil for a little bit. Add the clams and herbs if you want.

I pressure canned so I didn't have to put so much vinegar in. I tried a recipe last week that was so sour and vinegary that I scrapped it all.

Although those ice cream sandwiches and the point you make about the ice cream quality is something that can be applied broadly to the genre. Usually the ice cream in any of these sandwich/cone/klondike/whatever is not particularly good. I have found that the emphasis is usually on a chocolate (if it is the exterior covering) or the cookie (where applicable.) This seems counter intuitive. After all, you did not buy a cookie or solid chocolate, the ice cream is why you bought the thing. Strange.

The cole slaw recipe I've always used came from my dad. Just cabbage, grated carrots, mayo, and plenty of sugar. I love the taste but have to be aware of the sugar/carbs these days. We tried a simple salad dressing of olive oil and a bourbon flavored balsamic vinegar. The balsamic provided a bit of sweetness on the tomatoes, cukes and onions. I'm going to try it as dressing on slaw. Might use a little mayo to lend some creaminess.

He just shrugged and said "whatever"
I made plum conserve out of them that was fantastic and gave him a half dozen half-pints of it to say thank you
This year, all the plums reachable from a short ladder have been picked. I feel as if my job to encourage people to can has been successful, at least on that block

Do you salt the onions when you start? That should keep them from burning if the heat's okay. And a touch of sugar (like 1/4 tsp) after 20-30 minutes if you don't notice carmelizing should help that along...

Lol.. the peppers sort of look like bell but a little too long. They are maybe 2 inches long right now.

This "Ebony" cover with Nichelle Nichols, the video of "Express Yourself" by Madonna, and some old Playboy centerfolds my uncle gave me so I wouldn't turn gay. I'm not sure which. But the Nichelle Nichols one definitely made an impact on my trouser area at a critical time.

Wow, way late to the food thread this week, but COLESLAW!!!!!
I remember vaguely a recipe that my grandmother used that was just vinegar, sugar, and celery seed (no mayo!) that was really good.
These days my go-to is vinegar, sugar, honey, mayo, brown mustard, and either horseradish or wasabi (need the kick).
On the veggie side, I've found this goes great with either the standard cabbage or with shredded broccoli.

Traditionally you roast the eggplant for babaganoush, but it always burned and stayed raw in the middle for me and was Not Fun to make
I think I tried steaming them one year and they turned out better.

CBD, I adapt an old Food Network recipe for slaw that had fennel and cabbage in it...and BACON. Can't believe you haven't explored that dimension of the cole slaw world.
Also had raw oysters this week for the first time in whenever. When we have to go to Austin to see our doctor, our reward is our favorite seafood dive.
So there. On the flip side, it's been over 100 degrees almost every day this summer and we are in a drought. Oh well.

1 large eggplant, 1/2 cup tahini paste, 2 Tbs vegetable oil, juice of 2 lemons or 6 Tbs, 2 garlic cloves, salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a fork to pierce eggplant in several places. Place pierced eggplant in oven and bake 1 hour or until soft. Cool. Peel. Dice pulp into a blender or food processor. Add tahini, oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Process until smooth. If you use microwave instead of oven, bake pierced eggplant at full power (high) for 5 minutes or until soft.

Do you add sugar to carmelize, or no?
------
Not me, the onions get real sweet on their own as they cook down. Low heat, taste them.

We went out to dinner recently (a rare event here, usually it's lunch out) and the waiter had this credit card reader (called "Toast"). You slap your card on it, and the first thing you see is for a tip, starting at 25%, then 22%, then 20%, then "custom". But, wait it gets better. Then it wants you to fill out a survey of some kind, which I sort of wanted to do because the place was noisy as hell and the Cole slaw was soggy.
To heck with it, I paid w/ cash.

My daughter makes a mac and cheese that is tremendous, based on a NY Times recipe amazingly enough. She always says her secret is to cook the macaroni very al dente (hardly at all), since it continnues cooking in the oven. She says Panko is critical. All of this adds up to a meal all by itself. Yum.

Oh and just in time for JJS to appear, Dean shut down a milk processor resulting in a milk shortage... in WISCONSIN. WE were down to a single provider combined with increased gas costs, resulting in a 1/2 gallon of milk at $2.29.
The local Walmart brought in (there is no sales tax on food in WI so they emptied IL to stock their coolers) 1/2 gallons at $1.59. Until it ran out, which it did.
Now where this gets funny, is EBT/Foodshare/SNAP/WIC.

I don't drink a lot of milk so I get 1/2 gallon at a time, and at nearing $2.50, I just paid $3.00 for a local farm, Yoder or whoever, in a glass jug. BUT! There is a deposit on the glass jug! So instantly there were outraged people being told, 'You can't buy that, as the deposit is in CASH'. It's $5.00, but you get the $2.00 deposit back in the same cash.
Hardly anybody could do it.
Aid doesn't cover the deposit on the container!
Nobody has the money.

We were waiting for our order at Braum's (see the food thread tie-in?) a couple of days ago. Their muzak™ is usually instrumentals of very familiar songs, maybe Beatles, maybe Frank, maybe later - but we make a game of figuring out what the song is. Usually not hard. "Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass" is hard to miss.
Well, there was one very familiar tune that we just wracked our brains trying to remember - just a stray word or two. I remembered it had the word "extraordinary." Search on Lyrics.com for "extraordinary" turns up seventy-six PAGES of results.
Earworm supreme. MiladyJo finally called daughter this evening and "dah dah doo doo" conveyed the tune. Daughter called back shortly after with the answer.

It's not normal theft. That's how I know it's very serious.
Dude, old people, whose children don't care about them, man their animals are their life, and they are already stealing.
It's embarrassment, needs-based stealing. What are we going to do, bust some 80-year-old lady for pursing 5 ounces of Kit'N'Kaboodle?

I know this is the food thread, but I thought you got a musical instrument mandolin at a garage sale for $1 and I was about to congratulate on a tremendous bargain and wonder why you hadn't started lessons.
Then it hit me.

There's a lot to admire about a straight-shooting cowboy. There's a lot to appreciate about a serious cowgirl. We are all uplifted when they raise good kids.

Actually sooner than that. Dad planted one in the back yard. It grew to about the height of the (two story) house in about 5 years. It did not make it though. They evidently are pretty fragile outside of the particular environment of where they are found.

Same thing with Fraser Fir Trees. They won't grow in the flat lands. I know a few people who planted one thinking they'd have a Christmas tree in a few years, only to watch it die. They only grow above a certain altitude.

Of course, I was a 5' 11'' 140 college kid, but still...I never forgot how big people could really be. Meantime, he was the nicest guy in the world, just a happy person.

At Baskin-Robbins, back in the day, you could order the ice cream sandwiches, a six pack, in any flavor they had.
Chocolate Mint is the bomb.

I met Deacon Jones at a college BBQ in Louisiana - no joke. That guy was huge beyond belief - his feet alone seemed to measure between my feet and knees. Of course, I was a 5' 11'' 140 college kid, but still...I never forgot how big people could really be. Meantime, he was the nicest guy in the world, just a happy person. I thought he would be this star with an attitude - nope...just a genuine dude.

I enjoyed his turn as the big boss in Good vs Evil (2000). Speaking of which, Nichelle Nichols showed up in the 2nd episode, "Renunciation" as Henry McNeil's mother.

Just had the worst watermelon I've ever bought. It was still green and barely pink inside. They just don't grow tasty watermelons any more. At least the local canteloupe I bought looks good.

During Mask Madness, when we were tasked with enforcement of that, well, before I exploded and got County Detectives sent to my job, I attempted to explain to a White Scarf Woman:
"We can't get our customers to reliability wear PANTS. Explain to me how any of these barely dressed motherfuckers are going to wear a FUCKING MASK "

My favorite and put our Black employees into conniptions was all of us fighting with Black customers calling us Racists while our State was saying we had to make them wear masks.
"You a RACIST!"
The worst was the impact on Black employees, having that thrown at them.
You have no idea how damaging that was.
And no, if I caught some old lady boosting cat food, I'm not asking who she voted for. I am BUSTING her for stealing period.

Un Great Barrington MA, there used to be a breakfast place and 6 miles south, a diner
they are both defunct but we got a bagel place that is woke and terrible and a DD
However, they got 7 pot shops and a stand in line and eat outside that serves a 15 buck burger
Life is good

That restaurant photo looks remarkably like a place that existed on US 301 in eastern MD in the stretch of road between LaPlata and Waldorf. It, too, was closed twenty-five plus years ago when I drove by it, but I often wondered what stories were associated with it.

"I use a big butcher knife (12" curved blade) to quarter and slice the cabbage nice and thin. I think the longish slices add to the texture."
For my family, we use a potato peeler. Quarter the cabbage (simple green), then 'peel' along the top edges, slowly whittling it down in long strands. More importantly, don't go too much to the core of the cabbage.
While it seems a bit of a waste to not use the whole thing, the central core tends to be bitter, which takes away from the slaw. Or so I hear. I have an aversion to mayo, sour cream, and similar, so I don't eat coleslaw, but I help make it.
The half-shaven quarters of cabbage are saved for some other use, like ham-and-cabbage or the like when possible.

I get paid over $85 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.

Trader Joes. Mini Ice Cream Cones, chocolate chip and vanilla flavor. They are tiny, have a chocolate cone and are chocolate dipped. Dear Lord they are good, but a bit expensive by weight.
Just a recommendation to my fellow morons.
