  1. Haven't made chicken pot pie in a while but I do love a good one. I make the chicken fresh, with poached breast. Following the lead of the great Four Seasons Restaurant in NYC (famous chicken pie, see their cookbook for their methods),I cook the vegetables all separately--I like to add glazed small white onions and glazed carrots to mine--and make a veloute with homemade stock and a little cognac and nutmeg. Best lard crust. It's actually a ton of work for such a "homey" dish. But it is very good.

  2. All of the above, plus a savory roasted cocktail snack that is popular here in the South, or for a garnish for salads: melted butter, Worcetershire, Tabasco, salt, a little garlic--strangely addictive. In breads, and with Thanksgiving coming up, dressings to serve with poultry.

  3. Schnitzel is one of my favorite meals. I make it all the time, pretty much like carrot top says and the way they make it in Sweden: veal (or pork), pounded in to a huge thin piece, flour, anglaise, FRESH breadcrumbs (I have absolutely no use for panko, ever), clarified butter, capers, lemon, anchovy. Roasted or sauteed potatoes,or noodles. When I lived in RI I used to go to a restaurant, Redlefsen's, when it was a small store-front and very charming place, and where they served schnitzel and schnitzel a la Holstein (egg) and it was very, very good. They have since moved and changed hands, and it is still on their menu, but it is not the same.

  4. German baking...I bet somebody here knows just what you are talking about. I would likely use a yogurt topping, but it probably should be sour cream or a custard...how does this Apple Custard Kuchen look to you?

    Wow, Helen, this looks closer than anything I've seen yet. I will try it and report back. Thank you.

    This certainly sounds like what you describe (except for the crumbs). My grandmother made a cake very similar to what you describe, except that there was no custard, just cream sometimes poured over before eating it. We called it "Dutch Apple Cake" and here is the way I make it. The base was a batter, not a yeast dough.

  5. Similar to runwestierun, I dry-rub, refrigerate overnight, smoke in the Weber for about two hours, or until the charcoal dies (I can't be bothered tending fire), then transfer to the oven and cook at 250, completely wrapped in foil, for 6-8 hrs,internal temp 190. This is my preferred method. I have also done it completely in the oven, using a small amount of liquid smoke, following the method of my acquaintances Mindy Merrell and RB Quinn here in Nashville who wrote Cheater BBQ: dry rub, put in pan with 1/2 cup bottled smoke (I use 1/4 cup), cover with foil, roast at 300 F for 5-8 hrs to 190. For the slow cooker they recommend 5-6 hrs on high or 10-12 hrs on low, otherwise everything the same.

  6. Here is a post I did some years ago about Indian pudding. I think of Indian pudding as a dish quite local to RI/MA, historically made with the RI white flint cornmeal. It is still served at the oldest restaurant in Boston, The Union Oyster House, and a number of small country restaurants in Rhode Island. It is a true Colonial dish, with a far from modern taste. I actually like it best when it is a day or two old.

  7. Helen, a quick look at nutsonline.com finds your cherries, almonds, organic green split peas, and quite a few varieties of beans.

    Their customer service is quite responsive in terms of other things that may not be on their website.

    Nuts Online is excellent.Their crimson and jumbo raisins, cherries, crystallized ginger, everything very good (and nuts, too). Purcell Mountain gets my vote for beans.

  8. I sometimes make chocolate brown rice pudding for breakfast. It's dense in texture, not super sweet, and very chocolatey.

    Cook 1/2 cup short grain brown rice in 1 cup water as per usual. To the pot, add:

    1 quart whole milk

    1/2 cup excellent cocoa

    1/2 - 2/3 cup sugar

    1/2 tsp espresso powder

    1 tsp salt

    Cook at a simmer until quite thick. You can ignore it early, but must stir frequently at the end. Stir in a slug of vanilla, and kahlua if you like. A handful of chopped chocolate and/or dried cherries stirred in once the pudding has cooled does not go amiss. Nor does a sprinkling of toasted almonds on top when serving.

    Kahlua for breakfast?

    sorry, I just have a question. I don't understand the first line of the recipe. Are you saying cook the rice, then use the cooked rice for the pudding?
