Luckylies

Right now I'm looking for a number of things and want to be able to order them from one place. Vanilla beans, flan rings, fondant and almond paste, a ravioli cutter. And some more stuff. Is there anywhere with fair prices, quick shipping, a good website etc? I'm sure this has been a thread, I just cant find it.

sous vide anybody? is it sue veed? soos ve-day? what's up? boil a meal has never been harder to pronounce.

talleggio and honey brownies on cereal black pepper on chocolate ice cream

six. me my boyfriend, a wildcard and another couple. never three couples, ick. It works because one chicken is never enough, beer comes in sixes, buns whatever, it almost seems less wasteful to cook for six people than for four (perhaps I need to start portioning better) also, with six people, five say nice things after the meal

sage brown butter with toasted pignoli nuts and a squeeze of lemon. this is also nice with sauteed flat fish. portobello shallot cream sauce.

lobsters and crabs get sleepy if you put them in warm water in the sink for five mins. they dont seem to wake up once they hit the hot water. bath. jacuzzi. dinner.

hallelujah! sing it sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember san Genero? bwa hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

uhm when's the first day? I'm plannig on eating my way through it!!

unfortunately some people consider coolwhip to be whipped cream. some people consider whipped cream to be a topping for any dessert. some people suck and are irrational and fussy and like "helping". not much you can do- but be polite, and try to explain why yucky things are bad, and yummy things are good. ps it does not really sound like the hostess was trying to insult you, some people just have no clue.

just terrine de fois gras ( food poisoning once) every other kind of fois gras is perfect for me terrine, hell no. cilantro I'm working on dill too. ugh I hte dill on salmon, it just kills me. bleh.

crunchy taco supreme no leetuce from taco bell extra sour cream whopper no lettuce burger king popeye's chicken wings and biscuits whitecastlewhitecastlewhitecastle dominoes pizza with beef, onion and pineapple (I live in nyc,t he best pizza in the world) I consider dominoes a totally different food then pizza. some sort of quickly delivered saucy meat cheezy bread.

you gained 15 lbs from looking at Egullet food porn. ordering off a menu you cant decode in another language is fun...an adventure walking around the supermarket is fun every single time you tell strangers about your dinner or the beautiful pie you made (you have pictures) you invite people to sit on the floor of your apt so they can enjoy duck night. you cook three course meals when you're drunk. you wake up in the middle of the night to check on tomorrows dinner.

hmmm I've talked around and apparently. stirring the still-warm from slaughter pigs blood with your hand is a requirement... chorizo anyone?

the garlic, in my humble opinion holds up perfectly, even in my dubass freezer. the freezing seems not to change a thing. of course garlic in my freezer really only lasts a month max in my freezer (BIG container) so past thant I'm not to sure. ginger stays nicely too.

nothing is greater than deconstructed tarte tatain. I thinkt he proportions are from the joy of cooking. stick of butter cup of sugar 9 apples quartered cast iron 9inch. melt butter and sugar. throw in apples. crank heat to high. cook until the caramel is quite dark think the color of the outside of a coconut...flip apples and cook for five more minuites. pop in a 350 oven for 25 mins covered with foil. remove and spoon onto cooked small puff discs or pie shells.. decorate with heavy cream. or just do what I do and spoon the apples hot into a bowl with some haagen daaz vanilla. edited to add granny smith!!!!!!!!!!!!!! none of those bullshit sweet soft apples then end up as sugary gack...gag gag gag! tart and crisp ='s shapely and carmelized and rich. mmmmmmm.

all the ideas above are obviously good. since you are new to the game...perhaps remember not to futz with the meat. do not flip, wiggle, move or anything the meat, until it's good and seared or bits will stick when you check on it. I usually only get burned bits when I check on the meat too much. good luck

these are things I've had a few items at a time in my fridge..I'd have them all if I could. rendered duck fat some frozen fresh pasta and ravioli and cut lasagna sheets slow roasted tomatoes a frozen filet mignon ( for carpaccio) a home made bbq sauce different marinades and salad dressings preserved fruits and jams, chutneys I freeze minced garlic and ginger in tablespoons to pop into things to save time and smelly hands. also it's nice not to have to track down a clove every time... I like to have some frozen gougeres and cream puffs (they reheat very, very well) or if you hate theis idea...frozen choux pastry dough, it works nicely too. Frozen puff pastry dough lemon and lime juice homemade apple sauce homemade cleaned, steamed frozen spinich (time saver) I hate to clean off the sand and gunk every time I want to throw together and supermarket stuff is notoriously stemmy. roux? I dont make it but some people do. How 'bout ketcheup I like heinz but I respect a person who will try this. onion confit fresh mayo clarified butter cheese sauce cream sauce I wish i had a big enough fridge to fit this stuff...

it is very, very difficult and extrordinarily not worth it to try, unless you have some freak show big sized crabs...then perhaps it may work. even a very quick steam with a bit of vinegar in the water will help immensely...

mmm render the fat for everyday* use cook the skin into cracklins for immediate consumption..use the rest for duck taco's or quesedillas or salas or sanwhiches. lucky you. * hope you metabolism is fast

oh man, two people at the door when I'm in my pj's or drunk (the doorman and the concierge) that sounds so unfun... but, actually I'd probably prefer that as right now the person who delivers me my jamaican food is pretty scary...also, the delivery guy who brings pastrami..i hate that they have me phone number. A few have called me and really scared me. they know where i live...it really freaks me out. about the menus...my doorman chases the delivery guys around the building yelling, it drives him nuts..it's really funny. (non violent)

edited 'cause I just realised this was not the new york board. Noooo roast the pig in the apt!!!!!!!!! wait how small is the oven??? like easy bake, or just un peu petit?

I made avery nice bbq sauce with some tumeric in it the other day... it was fantastic. now, what exactly does tumeric taste like? I'm still not sure.

last night I made lamb chops. coated them with an insane amount of paprika then salt, pepper and some minced garlic. they went into a 425 degree oven for 10 mins and were perfect. tasted incredible! paprika yeah! now I wonder what they would have tasted like with really good paprika...soon, my friends, soon.
