Absurdly, stupidly basic cooking questions (Part 2)
Maison Rustique replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
You know that internet recipe for roast beef in a crockpot that has dry ranch dressing mix and pepperonicinis along with their juice? I bet you could use the juice/brine from these in a similar way. -
Absurdly, stupidly basic cooking questions (Part 2)
Maison Rustique replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
I've never had these either, but now that I've read about them, there is a jar in my Amazon cart. LOL! -
That is exactly what I do.

I have always followed these directions when I buy a new non-stick skillet, but honestly, a non-stick skillet seems like it shouldn't need this. I've never had one stop being non-stick. I pitch them when they get scratched up because they say they are not safe to use at that point--usually 2-3 years for me.

Curses! I just put a used copy in my cart. I browsed the sample on Amazon and some of those recipes look too good to pass up.

With a meal like that, you could be in Kansas City!! Looks wonderful.

Imperfect, Misfit, Etc. (The Food Delivery Services)
Maison Rustique replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
I suspect that Misfits Market is having issues with hiring people in our area. (Lots of companies seem to have this issue.) My orders are getting progressively worse in terms of fulfillment. Today's order was missing 4 items (that I was charged for). And there was a dozen eggs in my order that I did not order. Whoever ordered eggs probably got my missing items! I have reported this and they issued a credit, but messed that up, too. I only got credit for 1 of the items. I have sent them a form to report this, but it seems to take them about a week to get back to me about anything. This takes way too much of my time each week to report all the issues. Not to mention my messed up menu planning when I don't get what I ordered. -
One pan / one pot, one meal - recommendations
Maison Rustique replied to a topic in Cookbooks & References
Thank you!! Great help -
I feel like Sandra Lee these days. I should start a homemade fast food topic because I often feel silly posting these things in this one. Being a full-time caregiver for my husband, I almost never get out to do real grocery shopping anymore. I get things delivered as much as possible and with lack of time and arthritic hands, I take more and more shortcuts. At any rate, last night was another crap shoot. I had a salad mix to use up and some Kevin's chimichurri beef. So, Argen-Thai tacos happened. This worked better than I could have imagined. I did not get a photo of the tacos, but did snap the ingredients. I would make this again if I had the ingredients!

Naan pizza. Not as glamorous as those made by most of you, but they were quick and easy and very tasty. All the toppings to satisfy my salt addiction: salami, bacon, capers, kalamatas, onion, mini sweet peppers, misc. cheeses.

If you are just looking for a place to discuss books, there are a number of historical cooking/cookbook groups on Facebook. A number of eGulleters are collectors (including me). Or were you looking for a place to buy/sell?

I had to look up Alle-Pia. OMG! I think you just got me into serious shopping trouble. A salumi club!!

I have something like this that I have never even put batteries into. No idea where it came from. Likely going bye-bye in the downsizing.

One pan / one pot, one meal - recommendations
Maison Rustique replied to a topic in Cookbooks & References
I do a lot of sheet-pan meals. Not exactly a pot, but does a pan count? I don't use any cookbooks for it, I tend to make it up as I go. Usually start with the thing that will take the longest to cook and add the rest as I go, depending on how I think things will cook. Season as you like. You can add sauces later, if you like. Or splash with some wine or vinegar. -
I went through this a couple of years ago when my ancient one bit the dust. I tried 3 different ones until I finally found this one that has super low speed. I'm not that wild about the beaters on it (I prefer the old-fashioned type.), but they actually do seem to work fine on everything I've tried. Braun MultiMix (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

I took pix of what went into it, but got busy and failed to take an after photo. A friend gifted the trout. I love the Omnivore salt blends. Broiled the trout and it was outstanding.

Impact of Winter Weather on Food Shopping in US
Maison Rustique replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
They are delivered by trucks that say Imperfect Foods (They merged a year or so ago.) I don't think they say where they come from. Yesterday was my delivery day. I got an email around 3 pm saying it had shipped. I clicked on the tracking and it said the truck was about 5 minutes away. And it was. But that's what I mean--why am I getting these emails so late? And I have complained. Last time, they never responded. I think they just don't like me. Ha! -

We went to Costco yesterday and their produce department was also way down--most notably, onions and potatoes! -
Impact of Winter Weather on Food Shopping in US
Maison Rustique replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
Misfits was depleted from the minute my window opened this time. I keep wondering if it is something about the distribution center that serves my area. A couple of weeks ago, delivery was a day late with no notice about it. I don't get communications from them in a timely fashion. Often the email that tells me the order shipped and some items won't be in it doesn't go out until after the order is already here!! I can't plan meals if I don't know what I'm getting. And my other regular grocery order goes in just prior to this one, so it is too late to order from them if Misfits is out of something. Ready to quit Misfits again. -
Is it just here in our area, or is everyone in the country experiencing a shortage of food--mostly produce--right now? My Misfits Market order had to be submitted last night. I had already put a few things in the cart, but when I went in to finalize it, there were a grand total of 4 vegetables available to choose from. And 2 of those were tofu. When I began talking about it with friends in the area, they said that all the stores are depleted. Is this a factor of people stocking up to get through the dreadful weather we've had this month, or is it that weather has been so dreadful throughout the country (and even the world), that the growing areas have not been able to produce as usual?

Yes, agree with Empire Kosher. I forgot they carry that. I was really referring to their own packaged chicken.

I will roast veggies alongside anything or on their own. My sister recently called me the Queen of Roasted Vegetables and I wasn't sure if she meant it as a compliment or if she is tired of always having roasted veggies when they come here. I love nearly any vegetable roasted and it is quick and easy with minimal clean up.

For some reason, the chicken I've gotten at TJ's always has an odd texture to it.

It used to be. They have done their best to completely ruin it by developing so much that the beauty and historic charm have been completely destroyed. Nothing but fast food and discount stores now. We plan to list our house this Spring and will definitely look outside of Liberty for another place.
