This was the link I wanted to post!! http://icecreamscience.com/roasted-pistachio-ice-cream-recipe/

There is a current Ice cream topic running in here. Home-made Ice cream 2015- Look at that!! also here is the link of one of the participants http://icecreamscience.com/homemade-salted-caramel-ice-cream-recipe/ Let me find it!!

What is the Ratio of salt and sugar.. does one expect in above recipe ? Rather than just salt Gonna cure today!!

@Anna N Don't know till i try it!! Never made just a dish from tendon For me, when I eat Pho soup.. that is one of the things I loved to eat in the soup. The texture is wonderful,, gelatinous. So when I saw it on sale I bought it.. knowing I could find a recipe to cook em... I'm sure the key here is to make sure they a cooked fully

Mine were on SALE !!

This might be of help!! http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Red-Braised-Beef-Tendon-902123

Yesterday, I just bought some too!! Sauce looks like a lot of red pepper flake.. I think it would have some acidy and sweetness I make one with chili paste, rice wine vinegar and green onions I will probably use. posssibly add some Gogeejang ( sp ) ..lord forbid some catsup ..tomato paste ? Like to see what everyone else has to say I'm going to PC mine I like it. -----> But I dont have a slicer ?

We like to finish most steaks.. after cooked with a good salt. Pink flake or Grey

I had one plant last yr ( gift from my Asian friend who owns a sushi place ) .. Now look I usually eat mine with Daikon and artesianal soy.. but will entertain other options?

Did a reverse sear.. Burgers for (My Baby) Mothers Day This is home ground chuck, trimmed and ground #10 grind.( large cell ) -- sorry medical chat This was cooked 250 about 45 mins to 125F __ no center lift here Seared on Plancha.. salt pepper only

like the Char..did you dust them ? They look to have little extensions?

Finally after 7" of rain and a bit of heat. My Sweet Basil Lives!!

So this weekend I made Cauliflower Rice -- I took just the florets of cauliflower , no stems , and processed them in a food processor So raw, I then added parsley, coriander, red pepper flake, salt and pepper dressed with a lime/ vinaigrette So this was raw.. I really like this idea. and was wonder what other preparations I can use or you guys have done. Raw , stir fry'd or roasted. what ever and what other things do you add? Cheers Paul
