What did I cook this weekend.....

[Temptd2]

OK. I now have yogurt envy.

LOL! I don't normally LIKE yogurt - but this stuff is pretty dang delicious. Of course it's made with half & half, how could it be BAD?

 

[headbanger]

Here's the best use for yogurt I've found.

I made red beans and rice. I added extra hot sauce then what it called for and used a cajun style sausage. Sooo good.

I love beans and rice.

MMMMM yummo. The next best - tzatziki. Gawd I love that stuff.

But I gotta tell ya - this homemade thick creamy good stuff is awesome with some mixed berries and honey on top. Beats all heck out of ice cream! Well, MOST flavors anyway. Green tea ice cream sundaes with hot fudge, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream on top have no equal.

There wasn't a glass of ice water you could have had to drink instead?

 

[DrunkleJon]

Unfortunately no. The brats were delicious. The PBR... well it was PBR.

Who am I kidding if PBR was the only available beer I would be drinking it.

Well, there were other good beers available in my beer fridge. It's just I had already had a 22 of Pallate Wrecker while sitting in the sun, only have stouts and porters left otherwise, but I was forseeing my impatience kicking in and re-burning my tongue on the deliciously hot Bratwurst grease. I did not disappoint there either. But it was cold and somewhat vaguely beer-ey and did the job.

I just stumbled upon this website, but www.supercook.com can tell you multiple recipes you can make with the ingredients you have on hand. Pretty handy.

 

[Temptd2]

I just put a Carne Relleno in the little 8 quart roaster oven. Basically it's a green chile and cheese filling rolled into a flank steak, then cooked with more green chiles and green tomatillo salsa on top.

 

[Temptd2]

OK, here is the finished roll:

Man that looks like a genuine slice of wonderful.

Oh it's quite nommy and I top it with the remaining sauce, which I cook down til thickened, remove from the heat, and add a cup of sour cream to it - blend and pour over meat and anything else on the plate!

I think some jo-jo's with red pepper in the breading would go great with that roll! :rockin:

What's a "jo-jo" please?? You had me at red pepper!

 

[unionrdr]

Jo-jo's are popular here in Cleveland,OH. They're potato wedges you dip in egg wash,then into a small amount of highly seasoned flour-red pepper,black pepper, salt,poultry seasoning,whatever you'd use on fried chicken. Then back into the egg wash & into plain flour. Let'em sit on a wooden board for a while so the coating sets up on them. Then fry till golden brown. You cut the washed potatos in half length-wise,then cut the halves in half length-wise.

OK, THAT made my mouth water - and I just finished lunch! Gotta try it - will probably do with sweet potatoes though, we don't eat many white taters.

 

[unionrdr]

Sweet potatoes work well too. Use some pumpkin pie type spices with the red pepper in the 1st coating. Def good.

Tried an experiment that turned out really well.

I sauteed about 3/4 lb. of bulk chorizo. Then I sliced 4 bell peppers and a couple onions, and tossed them in the poured-off fat from the chorizo and a little salt, and put it all in a cast iron pan under the broiler. When the peppers and onions were about ready, I poured 6 scrambled eggs in with the chorizo and mixed it all up while the eggs cooked. Then the whole shebang went into tortillas. It was really, really good.

I'm very glad this thread is still going.

I'm not cooking anything now, but tomorrow I prepare some beef and bison for jerky. It's spring! Time to stock up on the most excellent road trip food ever invented.

I'm sure it was, I'm hungry!

Has anyone tried preserving lemons in salt for future savory food applications?

Being a fool, I planted a lemon tree behind my house 12 years ago. I have WAY more lemons than I know what to do with. I used to juice them, then just save the frozen juice, but what then?

I guess I'll try this next time the tree bears fruit.

Many years ago, I can't remember any particulars, they where good ,I may have to give them another go.

Raspberry chantilly cream in chocolate cups. Not much of a dessert maker, but this was good...

 

[unionrdr]

I saw a video on youtube that showed how to use balloons to make chocolate cups for desserts. Really cool,simple idea!

Pretty sure. At least I hope I am still in VA. If not I must have gotten really really drunk last night.

Skeeter pee? Lots and lots of fresh squoze (past tense of squeezed) Skeeter Pee. Straight from the skeeter.

And I am currently on hour 18 of a pork butt smoke and it has hit 198. Will show the meteor when I pull it off in 15 or so minutes.

Limoncello (makes good gifts) or lemon sorbet.
