    Recipes with Dates

    Cook the chorizo first ...stuff the date ...and wrap with THIN CUT (or pounded) bacon. Broil till bacon is cooked. Really tasty.

    Recipes with Dates

    Mexican chorizo stuffed dates wrapped with bacon. Spicy date paste as an accompaniment to cheese/charcuterie......or applied to the top of a short rib after braising
  3. How many headliners do they have?

    Fasta Pasta

    I still don't get it. Why not just cook the pasta in a small amount of water on the stove?

    Sous Vide Demo

    Turkey breast is another SV winner. You expect tough meat.....

    Dinner 2015 (part 4)

    Our local sushi place, which is run by Chinese, gave me a bowl of these still on the branch last week. They really looked like eyeballs but tasted wet and sweet and ...refreshing. Sort of like lychee but different. No metallic taste.

    Fasta Pasta

    This device does violate the traditional teaching that you need a large volume of water to make pasta. I don't believe it (and neither does H. McGee FWIW). But if its ok to microwave pasta in a little water, you might as well boil in a small volume on the stove.

    Fasta Pasta

    Wouldn't any container suffice?
  9. Ah, the lunch count. Haven't thought about that in 45 years. There was a real rivalry between the HS band and the football team in the caf. They'd slam an apple into somebody's soup. Hated that. Somebody got to talking smack (though it wasn't called that at the time) and challenged the JV team to a football game. We thought we'd get killed. Nope, we beat them by a nose. God must've intervened, but we won. The cafeteria harassment abated a bit,although fruit would still fly occasionally.
  10. Jaymes,strongly agree w Miracle Whip for dev. eggs. I have to add vinegar to mayo to make it right. I suspect that the scorn is tongue in cheek. Its just mayo after all.

    Breakfast! 2015

    Sausage, egg and cheese with peppery ketchup (a critical condiment here).
  12. That's some beach house! Real trees and all, wow. New England? If its for temp storage and not for active composting I think that the container's main need is being stink proof. So anything with a tight lid would work...a big cooler...plastic bags. What volume do you anticipate?
  13. Reflections... Give stuff you know he likes Don't make the food so weird that he gets made fun of. I remember a girl who had smelly tunafish every day. She was strange through HS, perhaps because of that. Ought to taste good more than being "correct". Nutrition is first calories, then all the other stuff that everybody likes to pay attention to. If you believe the story that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then its the calories that make it important, not the fiber or vitamins or antioxidants. (of course too many calories aren't good yada yada yada)
  14. devilled eggs, mac and beef, tortellini, stir fries, a dip and chips, cheese sandwich crackers, oreos, tastykakes, fruit etc
  15. Hellman's on left, Duke's on right. Dukes was creamier and had less "body", it was a shade or two more yellow than H's D's was just a little more oily in the mouth and maybe more eggy. H's had a slightly greater tang. When tasted blindly there wasn't a clear difference except for the texture. But when does one eat spoons of mayo? In a pot. salad I think they'd be equivalent even given D's hideous oiliness.
  16. Impressive selection of stuff. Esp cheeses. I'm bending, Rotuts.
  17. Rollercoaster.
  18. Maybe getting a spot on Eater as "the foraging guy" would brand you better? If you know Kenji Alt, he might be good for advice.

    Chicken breasts

    I butterfly and pound. Texture and even (quick) cooking.
  20. Just ordered Duke's from Amazon. One of my favorite sides is pot.salad...we shall see.
  21. And what is a vanilla slice? Whatever it is I'd rather call it snot block.
  22. We are talking about Boston. Cranks abound. Brother Rotuts excepted of course.

    Meatloaf

    vile foreigner?
  24. Is the cake going to actually be used for the sacrament of communion? If so, will it be passed on plates or handed out individually? Will it be "paired" with wine or grape juice? A sweet cake might well clash on the tongue with the grape.
