Travel Advisory: How to Know You're Dining . . .
rooftop1000 replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
I have only twice asked hotel staff for recomendations...First on Grand Cayman, we were sent cross island to a shack alongside the famouse dive wall and had for comapny a 3 legged dog begging under our table....Great fish, and the doorman from the Hyatt showed up to drive us back in his Camaro...we locked ourselves in our room on the pretense of dropping off camera bag. Second in Knoxville trying to get directions to Spooky's BBQ...got sent to Cahouns on the riverfront....it was fine , never found Spooky's T -

OK People right now ....I mean right this second there is a frog on my office floor under a bowl!!!!!!! the cat brought it in of course....and as soon as I finish my cig I am going to grab it with the BBQ tongs and fling it back in the lake where I presume it belongs... I dont think it is alive tracey

So far twice I have thrown a bowl over the mouse, then slid a magazine...usually gourmet under the whole thing then throw the mouse outside to recover or not good kitty old log cabin tracey

just checked to see if anyone had discussed this topic.....cause I dropped a couple of 2 pound rib eyes frozen solid into my big aluminum pan an hour ago and they are ready for grillin'. I used to have a magic defroster a couple of houses ago. Running the pan under warm water first speeds it up too tracey

Sorry.....cooked nicely all the way through and moist, the texture of the coating was a little "off" because some on the cornmeal wasnt pulverized. Still dont know why the pickle juice didnt curdle the milk but it was tasty....served with flaky biscutsn honey, fresh green beans, and butternut squash baked with cinn-sugar

So completely on a whim today I decided to make fried chicken. Hey i had a chicken. But a few days ago I did a complete moth purge of my cabinets....so I had chicken but no flour I did have cornmeal because I have a canister for that already, so.... I cleaned the coffee grinder and ground the heck out of some cornmeal and a slice of whole wheat bread and seasoned it up. Dumped my chicken in a bowl of milk and pickle juice...I dunno why pickle juice sounded good at the time. Waited about an hour and heated up half veg oil and half chicken fat in a big ol' heavy aluminum skillet, layed my remote therm probe in there and waited till 375 "floured" the chicked and dropped em in I dont think I have ever made fried chicken at home ...only in a deep fryer at work I didnt even really want to eat fried chicken I just felt like making it tracey

great article NY TIMES He Would've Wanted Everyone to Eat By ABE OPINCAR Published: August 10, 2005 VERTAMAE GROSVENOR said she always wondered why she and her relatives ate so much after funerals. "Even people on diets just ate plate after plate," Ms. Grosvenor, a cultural correspondent for National Public Radio, said about postfuneral meals in South Carolina, where she grew up. "My theory was, we ate so much because that's how we knew we were alive." http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/10/dining/1...ml?pagewanted=1

A lasting and enduring love affair: ranch dressing
rooftop1000 replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
Uh oh 2 admissions here ....i like ranch dressing not on salad though just as a dip and I love the avocado ranch dip at Chile's i hide it when they take the app plate away so I can put it on my quesadilla tracey -
best thing in my pantry right now is a Safer Moth Trap have to go shopping soon

Stuffed endive leaves are pretty easy and you can go with anything from chicken salad to caponata(sweet n sour eggplant salad) marinated veggies are fun too like the Italian Giardinair or fancy stuff like pickled green beans and asparagus. Some good dips can be made with mayo instead of cream cheese sour cream etc ..... had mini reubens at a wedding once so the pastrami minis are a great idea tracey

I forgot to have something fried but the onions are just too big.....oh yeah tasted some homemade wines and beer...realy good stout absolutely tasted like coffe with chocolate syrup in it tracey

I know exactly what happened to the timed out burgers at BK.... ya slip one into the waistband of your polyester pant suit and slink, out the back door- into the freezer- or if need be the bathroom..... after dutifully marking it off on the waste board on the wall i dont remember if we got any official free food but I know I ate too many meals on a porcelain chair T

Yum, Friendly's. We actually have one here in Toledo, though it is filthy. Friendly's was always a special treat for us. I went to sleepaway camp, and us lifers (the kids that were there for eight weeks) got a lifer's night out at the end of the summer. Dinner in the parking lot of Friendly's and a movie. The year I remember most fondly was the one that featured E.T. I seem to recall a funny name for the shakes at Friendly's. What are they called?? ← FRIBBLE I worked at The local BK for over a year we used to deep fry anything that didnt move it was during the salad bar time so we had a lot to deep fry I think the Fav snack ended up being an onion ring, pickle slice 1/4 slice of cheese run through the broiler. One of the rather large guys put a small female employee on top of a stack of boxes in the freezer once, then we got a rush and he forgot her up there manager used to do the bump and grind to all the girls then get us beer after work and let us play quarters in the dining room....he is a Detective in town now oh well it was 20 yrs ago
