Recipe fir the stew?

Some pollock had come in the last Wild Alaska shipment. I'd never had pollock before and had to find the right way to cook it. I just baked it in the oven with butter, garlic, S&P and lemon. Excellent!

I never cared for spicy food until I had homemade tacos made by a then boyfriend and seasoned with Pico Pico sauce. It was love in capital letters. After that there was no turning back...now I can't get enough spice/heat.

Glad to hear this. Coincidentally. I will have been free of cigarettes for 25 years ad of Jan. 4, 2023!!! Best thing I ever did for myself.

After tasting the above0mentioned eggnog I found it to be missing something. I should have guessed what it was simply by looking at the recipe! It had no vanilla in it. After that I added a big splash of vanilla and another big splash of bourbon. Really good now!!! In fact, it's so good I made up another two quarts yesterday. I still plan on making the Everclear recipe but I'll bottle that up for next year. Been saving my empty screw-top wine bottled for that purpose. Here's the recipe I used: (I did find it a little heavy on the ground nutmeg so I cut that back on subsequent batches.) 5 Minute Homemade Blender Eggnog Author: Thechunkychef.com ▢ 4 large eggs the freshest you can find ▢ 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or superfine sugar) ▢ 1/2 tsp dried nutmeg ▢ 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon ▢ 3 oz cognac (about 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp) ▢ 3 oz bourbon (about 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp) ▢ 1 1/2 cups whole milk ▢ 1 cup heavy cream (vanilla) Instructions Add whole eggs to blender and blend on MED speed (or LOW if you only have a HIGH and LOW setting option) for 30 seconds. Add sugar and blend another 20 seconds. Add nutmeg, cinnamon, cognac, bourbon, milk and heavy cream and blend until combined, about 10-15 seconds. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for a day or so to allow flavors to combine and mellow. TO SERVE: Eggnog may have settled in the refrigerator, so either give it a good shake or two, or pour into a mixing bowl and give it a whisk to get everything combined. Serve with some additional grated nutmeg on top, and an optional cinnamon stick.

Ina Garten has great a recipe for sausage rolls using lamb sausage but I can't find it around here. Recipe.

SO nice!

I use mine mostly for shredding cheeses. I need to expand my horizons. That's the problem when you cook mostly for one. Often it takes more effort and time to clean the clean the damn thing that nit does to just use a knife.

Thanks for that valuable tip on thawing sous vide. I had no idea; that could be life changing for me.

I am thawing a whole bone-in turkey breast. As I'm quite new to this method I'm not sure how best to go about this. I've Googled extensively but most of the directions seem to be confusing and/or contradictory. Any advice or recipes you'd recommend?

I blended up a quart and a half of easy eggnog yesterday. (I will make the Everclear nog as soon as I get mor eggs, milk and cream). This recipe uses just whole eggs and sugar, milk and cream, cognac and bourbon and nutmeg and cinnamon. Easy and quick to make. It's in the fridge now and will be ready to drink tomorrow.

Apparently ATK now has its own shopping site. They have some really nice equipment on sale now. Check it out. I do not know if you have to have a membership to access it.

I've beeen doing a lot of Asian style coking recently and have been wondering about the types and brands of this. Any you like particularly well? Taken cold or warm?

I have to admit that I've never had creamed spinach. This is going to change very soon.

After I saw your last post with the image of that salmon I had to make i as soon as I could get my hands on a nice piece. Last night I had that for dinner and it was really good.

I came across a new recipe earlier this week that I just had to try. I do love cabbage in any form and this one reminded me of Pennsylvania Dutch soup my Mom used to make that I've never been able to fully re-create. Mine is cooking away in the crockpot now. Recipe

I had to post about the Chicken ala King I made last night. It was crazy good, much better than I would have expected. Recipe here.

Tonight: A throwback recipe of Chicken Ala King served over freshly baked biscuits. Comfort food for sure.

Ooh! I am SO making this!
