  1. So here is what I did.

     

    Boiled the Wild Gooseneck Barnacles/ cut the foot off and used a scissors to slice up the skin to the top

     

    Made a simple Parsley salad with lemon vinaigrette topped with cleaned Percebes   ( they were slightly gritty   :cool: --Nice tooth polish  )

    I don't do a meat sauce...  But I do make meat filled shells

     

    Fry which meat you wish..  I usually use cow  with a bit of garlic onion,  mix in cheese a bit of bread crumbs  and chopped spinach.. an egg or two  mix  add  S/P  and fill

  5. Going to be in KC..  around Crown Center.  Soon

     

    I will have my staff,  so I don't think, I'm wanting a glamour's sit down. 

     

    WE recently did the Rieger ( was pretty good ), Extra Virgin ( may not be for this crowd )  --Possibly thinking Tannin ( cause we like to taste wine.

     

    Probably not P and L.. unless it is highly recommended

    Plaza might be OK--I know some new stuff has opened

     

    Not thinking BBQ,  would like some good Mexican ideas if possible.. probably lunch.

     

    Ideas?

     

    TIA  Paul

  7. Pork baby back ribs, in the night's version of Canto-Hoklo type Bak Kut Teh.

     

    The baby back ribs were cut into riblets, given a fei sui (飛水) treatment (blanched/parboiled, starting from cold water), rinsed under the tap and placed into a pot of fresh clean water and cooking continued.  Brought to a simmer, some very minimal skimming done (most of the scum and blood etc were taken care of with the fei sui); Herbs & roots & spices added (staggered additions), then a mixture of double-fermented soy sauce + dark soy sauce + oyster sauce, and sliced aburaage towards the end.

     

    Eaten w/ Chinese spinach (菠菜) (like these) flash stir-fried w/ lightly crushed garlic cloves & peanut oil, quenched w/ diluted oyster sauce.  Plus a couple bowls of white rice.

    The herbs and roots and spices etc used.  These were the materials that actually went into the pot.

    attachicon.gifDSCN4191a_800.jpg

    Starting from the top left, going clockwise: white peppercorns, whole cloves, dried tangerine peel, dried Longan flesh/"meat", garlic heads, dried sliced Polygonatum odoratum rhizome, dried Codonopsis pilosula root sections & (below it) a couple of black cardamom pods/Amomum costatum (cracked before adding to the pot), dried sliced Angelica sinensis roots & star anise pods, and cassia bark sticks.

     

     

    Edited to correct a link

    Wow..  Nice  but when I cook..I would only use 1-2 or 3    ?    Seems overwhelming to me

    And where does one acquire those type of chop sticks?

  9. This sounds really good!  I bet I could use venison for this.  Did you do this on low in the slow cooker?  Can you tell me about how long?  Would be a great meal for me to do in the morning to come home to after working at our rental house.

    Shelby,

     

    I had a nice  2"  cut of prime sirloin..I know you could do this with Venison!!

     

    I prepped the meat in a fry pan, then every thing into a slow cooker..  I did 4 hr on high covered, 2 hrs on low covered and the last 2 hrs..lid off to reduce the braise.

     

    I forgot to say..I threw into 3-4 whole cloves of garlic..  I like to eat red sauce .. BRAISED..  garlic 

     

    But I was around to be with that method.. so I could watch it.  Off and on through out the day.

     

    Our crock is a vintage 2 speed.. high and low     :)

     

    I think you could really.. get by with about 8 hrs of covered and go. 

     

    I broke the meat into 4 pc's the last two hrs to get  the maxim flavor in..  so  maybe.. portion out you venision into smaller pc's..

     

    Cheers

  11. Paul, tell me more about that gravy please.

     

     

     

    Patrick

     

    My gravy changes  ( but this one )!!

     

    In a pot ( for this I used the one pot wonder )--Evoo,  pork Neck  Bones and sweet Italian sausage.. three each/ brown.  Then add 3-4 cloves of garlic, sauté  then deglaze with white wine, reduce..  now this gravy is Hunts sauces ( I mill san marzano's too , not here ) ..  4  small cans of tomato sauce and one medium paste can [ Plus 2 cans of water ]... stir add my Italian seasons ( which I get from Degrado's>  small local stuff ) and add one peeled onion ( Bobber ). :wink: 

     

    Cook for 4hrs.. add meatballs 1 hr before service and cook

     

  12. Sunday Gravy Shot!!

    Kids aren't a fan of onion bits..So  I usually float an Onion Bobber in my sauce.  then peel the petals off.  Stewed onion is killer

    Where did you get that beef.. that's some serious marbling?

     

    "With this particular beef, serious de-fatting was required before serving"

     

    With that in mined,  are you cooling and defatting. or scooping it off.
