In other news, marble sized green tomatoes.

Polenta with some of the leftover meat sauce from Bugialli's lasagne forno. I know polenta is cooked in a copper pot but it turns out rather green.

Last prime day I purchased an iLife A6 robot at about half price. Highly recommended. She keeps my Roomba company.

What Are You Preserving, and How Are You Doing It? (2016–)
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Cooking
Sounds like Georgian kaklis muraba. https://georgianrecipes.net/2013/09/10/kaklis-muraba-pickled-walnuts/ I don't make them myself, mind you. This is the brand of which I have become quite fond: http://www.georgiangourmet.com/whole-walnut-preserve-from-georgia.html -
Thanks...how are you with fugu sashimi?

Baked potato, chicken thighs, and fiddleheads. Yes, fiddleheads. Some say the fiddlehead sickens her devotees by bacterial contamination. Others blame as an yet unidentified fiddlehead toxin. If you never hear from me again you know what got me.

Thanks but I'm still no closer to a clue. Around here, bags near Earthbound produce rip when you try to put the lettuce in them.

Ingenious marketing, hawking instant pots from the back of a roving truck.

@Thanks for the Crepes I think you are being baited.

What is this heavy produce bag you speak of?
-
Indeed. And if I see a good price on a Braava robot mop my kitchen floor might thank me.

My guess is a circle hook is something that attaches to a fishing line.

I thought dinosaur tastes like chicken?

Further sweet and sour chicken. This time with cranberry sauce, an ingredient most probably unbeknownst to Baptiste Platinede Cremone and fifteenth century Catalonia. Good stuff. I think of this as fusion food.

I note my recent store-bought organic blueberries are from Florida. They are large and beautiful and tasteless. And did I say expensive? On the other hand the last batch of blueberries I bought were from Georgia and quite good. My own bushes look like they have several weeks to go. I can't wait to see if methyl 2 aminobenzoate will work!

Tonight, sweet and sour chicken: This is chicken roasted in butter -- chicken thighs in this case -- then baked in a smooth paste of sugar, butter, roasted Marcona almonds, cinnamon, fresh ginger, toasted bread slices soaked in red wine vinegar, and chicken drippings*. Catalan recipe from Baptiste Platine de Cremone by way of Time-Life The Good Cook Poultry (p125). If only de Cremone had had a CSO. According to Richard Olney, de Cremone declared this the finest meat he had tasted. I'd hesitate to claim entirely the same, but it is up there. Recipe published in 1474, not sure about the copyright. Plated with saffron rice. *drippings, @Duvel not droppings

Even I'd like cauliflower prepared like that.

The Vollrath I wanted was on amazon a few days ago. Now it's "Currently Unavailable". Who here bought them all?

What food-related books are you reading? (2016 -)
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Food Media & Arts
Thanks, I just put a hold on it...may be a while. Not that I am out of things to read. -
I have a package of about ten thighs in the refrigerator that need using up. What sorts of things do you have planed for yours? Also, why so long?
-
Do it! According to 23andme I am 0.1% Yakut, a Siberian minority in China. Beautiful travelogue @liuzhou. Somehow I missed it first time around.

@liamsaunt may particularly enjoy the first paragraph.

Some days ago I tried a variation on this, reducing the ethanol quite a bit. It was OK but weak and unbalanced. Tonight I made something somewhat in between: 1 1/2 oz S&C 1/2 oz Neisson l'Esprit 1 oz Hamilton 151 1/2 oz Taylor's Falernum 1/2 oz Small Hand grenadine 10 ml tincture of cinnamon or maybe a little more (made lovingly with W&N) 12 drops Jade 1901 1 (generous) dash Angostura, maybe 2 juice of 1 lime juice of 1/8 fresh red grapefruit Note: I cut the grapefruit slightly from before and removed the La Favorite entirely (all the more for mai tai's). While no one was looking I upped the Taylor's just a bit. This is by far my best attempt to recreate a zombie. Alcohol was just right, flavor was well balanced. The bad news is I seem to be almost out of grenadine. But I have a pomegranate in the refrigerator.

Provincetown, the "Outer Cape," and Wellfleet Too

Thanks. I was not sure exactly what you meant. I have some teflon sheets I bought from KAF in ancient times. I cut a sheet to fit my CSO. Works great.
