My former MIL polish/italian...used ground beef and rice for the stuffing and canned tomato sauce and sauerkraut for the sauce. I once thought if I threw some of the "pickling spice" from my set that wouyld take care of the sauerkraut part...nope. See I dont like sauerkraut Umm I guess I like sauerkraut in her stuffed cabbage. T

The first batch of holiday catalogs has started to arrive. Do yours get dumped or used? What are we ordering for our friends, loved ones, and in-laws this year? So far I have only recieved the Figis (Hickory Farms wannabe) and O H Bakery ( kringle, cakes, and traditional Danish)...ohdanishbakery.com. I think the O H Bakery is going to replace Figis for the in-laws this year....and maybe just a few Kringle for myself...just a cherry cheese, some pecan, and maybe apple, well they say the raspberry is very popular too. So what do we send and what do we get from the well wishers out there. Last year we revieved a big basket of assorted chocolate covered pretzles that were damn tasty, but thats all Tracey

In the last French meal I ate the only thing that didnt have butter or duck fat in it was dessert ....that had cream..... I thought it was funny.... but I havent been to France T

Lots of fun foods for parties can be set out in the crock pot from Chile or a saucy vegetable dish to pulled pork for sandwiches. I do my pulled pork using a small bottle of Frank's hot sauce, onion and garlic powder and a big handfull of brown sugar or maple syrup. After it cools you can defat the drippings and mix with some BBq sauce to add back to the pulled meat. Just leave it next to a basket of buns and let everyone have at it. tracey

I had a meatball on buttered whole wheat bread....I had to test the meatballs for dinner right? tracey

Even for NYC and even for Kosher thats freaking expensive. I have done my time with high end caterers in Bergan County NJ that could have certainly served cabbage and sting beans for less.... I mean ...I mean that like $12 worth of food wholesale..... Having a family event/holiday catered still blows my mind. sorry tracey

Mmmm maybe you could drape the duck skin over the top for part of the cooking time was just explaining this dish to a group yesterday tracey

Just for goof and because of this thread I picked up a black radish the other day hoping to totally stump the cashier. Well I got distracted taking the sausage out of the bag with the lettuce and she was through when I looked up...I checked the slip later in the car, she rang it up as a Fig ...damn good guess tracey

Now over here, that very same nights pizza was all about the meat. Meatball, pepperoni, and sausage with onions. All made because the store had no name shreaded Mozz on sale t

It was always fun to see what my daughter ate when she stayed at a friends house..she would say ...well... it was like macaroni and cheese flavored chicken but with rice instead...or mac and cheese flavored ham.... or just like grandmas chicken over noodles but all mixed up and squishy ...or really fun stuff like canned asparagus...I had to go to the store just to see if there really was canned asparagus. Lasagna, eggplant, and chicken parm are cassaroles right... never had tuna cassarole... I have had the green bean/frenches onion one ...just not at home mmm lasagna mmm pasta cook off tracey

all I can pull out of my head right now are ingrediants potato or rice starch for thickening stuff asian stuff...rice noodles - tofu obviously...some dumplings even use rice starch for the wrappers maybe some vegan baked goods fun with lentils - barley - wild and regular rice...cold salads, soups Rice syrup for Sugar substitute...rice milk ....sheeps milk cheese? like Romano health food store ..whole foods and traders joes should have lots of fun stuff to play with I foresee a lot of baked potatoes in his future but the above metioned grains cooked in stock with some onion make great starchy side dishes also next...... tracey

The good old american cassarole might be...canned tuna, hamburger, or cooked chicken mixed with cream of chicken or mushroom or celary soup and maybe some vegetable with a crunchy topping like potato chips or corn flakes....baked in a cassarole dish. Very 50s 60s to use all those wonderful canned goods available tracey

Grilled chicken, wild rice, apricot, and lentil salad done with a champagne or apple cider vin.... cool, creamy, firm, and chewy all at once. its yummy T

Eric I thought of a spot on rt 23s next to Triangle Hofbrau in Pequannic...most recently was an offshoot of G&A Bagles...they advertised hot sandwiches so must have a ventilation system....highway frontage and plenty of parking. The space has been a few breakfasty spots but they havent done well tracey

I have been tempted to get these sooooo many times but then I remember the "other" reason I dont have any containers anymore....when they hide in the fridge too long I refuse to open them...I just toss the container...I live for zipperbags and really try not to make/save leftovers tracey in great fear of fuzzy food

Cream cheese flavored frosting from a can happens to be a major obsession of mine, I will get help soon.... So how about a cream cheese icing or also very tasty a white chocolate french butter cream...had that on my daughters last "bakery" birthday cake... tracey

I give you....Daves BBQ Shrimp...cant get much richer than this in a main course http://recipes.egullet.org/recipes/r1069.html

am I correct in guessing "mince" to be ground beef.....not as in mincemeat pie filling??

Has anyone tried making their pie crust with the cheese right in it? Every time this comes up it sounds like a good idea to me but I have never bothered. I really like cold sliced apple with good chedder...its so nice the way the apple starts to beak down the cheese right in your mouth. t

Breakfast lets see first I made the dog some scrambled eggs and toast ..I overcooked the eggs a little let it cool and gave it to her with her meds and then I had a half of a leftover cheese danish....out of eggs. I really need to get my priorities straight...and some more eggs and ground beef. Madame will need something for dinner too tracey

Roasted salmon fillet ...melt apricot jam and mix with dijon slather a good layer on the salmon hit it with salt and cayenne and roast to medium....had this at a wedding at Abigail Kirsch....it was right next to the virginia ham and mango chutney on buttered biscut halves MMMmm to both of them t

Hubby was trying to be real nice this weekend ...we almost went here Saturday night...he didnt like it the first time.... but I really miss the coconut lemongrass dessert hmmm maybe I can spring for a lunch before I have to go back to work tracey

for any that might have missed the what did I find thread.... and no it doesnt work....and it cost over 20 bucks....a gift from Nana tracey

The only street fair I have been to in NY was San Gennaro...and recently enough T

Now I am wondering if I can hang a tomato plant cage over a grill like that .... all that and no mozzarepas....for shame...they were the best part of the portuguese festival last year T
