Is that the recipe from BBQ Bros (adapted from Bobby Flay)? I love that recipe.

Yep, that's the one!

Damn, we had +15c today and sun. It was a whole day working outside in the yard.

First, I decided to build a stand for my gas burner:

Then, you know, us OCD people like to do "mis en place":

SWMBO getting busy at the paella pan:

And finally, our dinner, before we went to heat up the sauna:

That looks fantastic. I think organized/smart people like to do mis en place especially if the dish has a number of components.

In Venezuela, it's called Carne Mechada. In the Caribbean, it's known as Ropa Vieja. The Mexican version goes by the name Carne Deshebrada. I got this idea from America's Test Kitchen. All I can say is I am sure glad I saw this episode! BIG Flavor.

Cheers!

I'm currently making a Sauerbraten (started it a few days ago and will be cooking it at 6am monday morning).

Sauerbraten is usually done with red wine and red wine vinegar. My family's recipe uses malt vinegar and Märzen (My grandmother is from just south of München and uses Oktoberfest beers for just about everything.

So now I have a craving! I should have soaked beans before I came in to work. I have some great andouille in the freezer. Just looks great!

That just looks fantastic! Thanks for the link. I love these long braise recipes and I have had pretty good luck with ATK recipes in the past!

Should have taken a pic, but I was too hungry to care.

Finished brewing a Red Ale and then cooked up some Sweet Tea Ribs (ribs rubbed with black tea, brown sugar and glazed with a mix of the same with orange juice).

Yellow cake filled with homemade lemon curd and fresh raspberries. The frosting on top is a brown butter vanilla buttercream.

Ah. You lost me at Lemon.

Banana, now...

No lemon for you? It was Dad's birthday and he does not like a lot of frosting. I had the lemon curd on hand so i used that instead.

I'd eat through that in one sitting. Looks tastey

I made a banana cream pie last week. I've made this recipe twice (minus the chocolate and caramel). Pretty quick, and very good. Quite sweet.

Regarding bananas, we eat a lot around here. Ripe bananas get used in lots of interesting ways. 3 or 4 times a week we make banana milkshakes in the blender, for desert. On weekends, banana pancakes are awesome. And, if you have an ice cream maker, banana ice cream.

 

[Melana]

I detest anything banana. I understand they are super healthy and i keep trying them hoping that i will start to like them. Just the smell makes me gag.

 

[Homercidal]

I like them just fine, but I find sometimes eating them makes me taste them for hours afterward.

But I only eat ripe bananas. I know people who eat them half green and I can't understand how they don't get the shts from it. From what I've heard unripe bananas have stuff in them that is not easy to digest. Plus they have a tartness that I dislike.

I haven't made a banana pie in a LONG time! banana Ice Cream (Ala, Alton brown) was on the agenda at one time. I even had them frozen in the freezer, but then someone accidentally set the fridge to DEMO mode and it LOOKED like it was one, but in reality a lot of stuff was thawed. Bananas were a loss. Luckily for me we didn't have anything expensive in there at the time.

Bananas are an either way thing with me. I like them when the stem portion is still kinda greenish and there isnt a lot of black marking on the peel. You must avoid the banananus (the bottom 1/2 inch) though. And when they are actually ripe, I prefer to peel them, put a little lemon juice on them and wrap in saran wrap and freeze. Not a huge fan otherwise.

 

[Homercidal]

I like them ripe. They are too ripe when I can taste alcohol.

My MIL used to saute plantains & serve them in a pineapple sauce similar to what outback serves with their coconut shrimp.

A couple restaurants around here serve fried plantain chips. Sooooo good.

Check the ethnic foods section of your local grocery store. Usually you can find bags of them.

 

[vanishingpint]

I like bananas ok. Mostly ripe to all the way ripe.I just detest anything artificially banana flavored.

Sorry I couldn't resist the dancing nana .

 

[mattmmille]

Bananas and plantains, huh? I like bananas okay...just barely ripe to just getting speckled. Great sliced into cereal. After a little browning, I might stick them in the fridge, but always forget about them for months. SWMBO's favorite ice cream is banana, but not with other stuff added, like banana split or banana pudding flavors. Plain banana ice cream is actually really hard to find. BTW, from which end do you peel? I recently switched.

Plantains...I like and have made tostones. I actually have a tostones press, but have only used it a couple of times. The ones on some of the plates that have appeared in some @Remmy pics in the Alkie thread recently from Puerto Rico are good too...boiled/baked? I don't know, but I've had 'em and they're good! Still need to try mofongo.
