    Reheating Turducken

    in Cooking

    Posted

    My first Thanksgiving alone in 9 years so my soon to be ex sent me a 15lb Turducken from Louisiana with all the sides. This being the first one I've ever cooked, how do I go about reheating the leftover Turducken without overcooking it????

    Thanks

    Where to eat in Nashville?

    in Southeast: Dining

    Posted

    OK guys heading on our annual roadtrip and it's been decided to head to Nashville. My wife and I will eat anything and cost is not really a factor. Interested in Southern food and BBQ as well as some higher options. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    It's nice to see that you took ALL of my menu suggestions last night---YEP that was me eavesdropping on your menu choises last night!!

    I am just cracking up over this...BTW I'm going back again tonight..my kids just got home frm camp and that is their go to place..  FUNNy FUNNY SMALL WORLD we live in.

    That is funny - nice to meet you too! Yes, a very small world!

    Food choices were great - the sauce accompanying those wontons was delicious - in fact, I should have got the waitress to just leave it there when the entrees came out.

    I have been to Chengdu 1 about four or five times up until now with my wife, but I'm looking to try out some more dishes. I will have to switch over to the Chengdu 1 thread and take a look at some other suggestions!

    Thanks again,

    Jason

    Well, the thing to do is go in a group of 6 or 8 people(we do this pretty often with other EG'rs.) We order MANY dishes and never pay more than 30 bux a head. Next outing expect an invitation. In fact email me when your in the mood to go again, who knows, it may spark an impromptu calling out of "the troops"

    My wife and I just got back from an eating trip Vegas - try $2000 in 3 days. For a steak dinner we actually went to Prime in The Bellagio. At the Pallazzo we had lunch at Morels. We had the Seafood tower and it was absolutely awesome sitting outside on a gorgeous day people way\tching. I'll write more when I get a chance.

    Peanut Butter and ... ?

    Everyone once in a while I go for a Peanut Butter and Vegemite sandwich :sad:

    It's a memory from my childhood, when we didn't have alot of money, and you did what you had to do ..... I guess in some ways it's comfort food :biggrin:

    I'm really enjoying this blog.  I usually lurk but your blog has sparked more interest because we (my husband and I) will soon be moving to your neck of the woods - specifically Randolph.  I am totally new to the area so anything that I can learn is really helpful.  I've already read up on the American Grill, but are there any other recommendations that you have for the Randolph/Morristown area?

    Living in Morristown (formerly in Sparta by way of Australia) here's a few places for you:

    Stonefire Grill on Rte 10W in Randolph

    East Tokyo on Rte 10E in Randolph (almost directly across from Stonefire)

    An American Grill even though Lou's no longer there :sad:

    There's just some to get you going

    Dinner! 2007

    in Cooking

    Posted

    Steak & vegetable pie for dinner tonight. Since it was the first pie I've made I focused on the pastry and was conservative with the filling, but it turned out so well I'm looking forward to messing around with different fillings next time. The most interesting (and one of the tastiest) pie fillings I've seen was a regular steak and bacon pie with an egg cracked onto it before putting the lid on. As the pie was cooked, the egg just set. One of these days I plan to give it a shot myself!

    As an Ex-Adelaide boy, now living in New Jersey that looks awesome, and now you've got me on the road to making my own this weekend. It may sound funny, but there are definitely times over here you miss Balfours and Villi's pies

    Cheers

    Good Morning SUZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,

    I've been waiting for this day to happen. V and I will be reading this with bated breathe.

    Is that he Smart World Coffe on Rte 15? I haven't tried it yet, as living in Morristown is one more reason to avoid 15  :biggrin:

    Tom

    Um, baited breath? Isn't that the results of eating sushi? :raz: (Runs away, very fast...) :laugh:

    I'm guessing you're right coz sushi was fro dinner last night :biggrin:

    You poor thing, you definitely didn't get enough to eat! Maybe we should have let you guys order just a Few. More. Dishes. :raz:

    I'd put money on the fact that if we'd order another plate of the dumplings, you girls would have continued eating along with us :raz:

    Chengdu 1

    OMG what a night. The soup actually had tiny oysters in it Tracey :raz: Chengdu 1 has now become my absolute favourite Chinese restaurant in NJ. As far as I was concerned the soup was just ok, the fish just a pass BUT everything else was absolutely awesome!!!! The lamb and beef were major standouts, as were the wontons.

    And we can't forget the price, all of this was $28 per person and included tax and tip.

    This place is definitely worth another visit, the only real question being when. Now we need to get a group of 10, so we can order everything else on the menu.

    Two months in New York City

    Sorry for multiposting, but I do have a specific question. Having only ever lived in Malaysia, Australia and Japan (and only travelled around Asia), I'm familiar only with the dining cultures in these countries - are there anything important I need to be aware of when dining in NY? I'm already aware of the tipping culture - are there any others I should know of? Thanks! :)

    As an Australian living in New Jersey, the tipping is a big thing. Another piece of advice is whatever you do DON'T convert food prices into whatever currency your used to!!! I made the mistake of doing that the first few times I went shopping and nearly had a coronary. If you have any questions regarding pricing of certain supermarket items PM me.

    Woks on the outdoor bbq

    in Kitchen Consumer

    Posted

    I'd love to hearing opinions on the wok that weber has

    http://www.weber.com/bbq/pub/grill/accessory/chargear.aspx

    I notice it's stainless steel and I always thought carbon steel was the preferred wok material. Would love to hear if anyone thinks this wok would give good performance with the weber charcoal grill or if it is a gimmick.

    Cheers!

    I had one of the Weber woks when V and I lived back in Australia. It was carbon steel and absolutely awesome. Chili crab done on the weber for a messy BBQ. Honestly I don't know how I feel about the stainless version, but the steel one was good for so many things - stir frys, tea smoking duck it just made the usual outdoor different when everyone was expecting you to do the usual steak, lamb chops etc on the grill.

    Cheers

    Tom
