What did I cook this weekend.....

[cpa4ny]

Baked white asparagus topped with lemon zest & parmesan, served together with poached eggs, and goat cheese & dill toasted baguette. A bit of arugula tossed with olive oil and lemon juice on the side.

Hoppy Belgian blonde worked unexpectedly well with that dish.

I can tell your all speachless.

I know what to say, if that's what you like, eat it! :rockin:

All about the plating.

Ham sammich with mustard always delivers.

This

that looks like it would make very crappy, half burned, half raw food.

Dear psy
Apparently you forgot that you got "well actuallyed" when you went on a worldwide forum filled with some pretty accomplished chefs and told everybody if you didn't stick some ground beef in a crock pot you are making Bolognese wrong. Furthermore you weren't even close to the correct pasta for Bolognese. I said your sauce looked good and it did I just respectfully disagreed with you and wanted you to have the authentic recipe before you start telling everybody they are doing it wrong again and also it's a great recipe. Appreciate that you adjusted your post. Real classy of the site to allow you to call me a dick head but delete my simple response. As it is to apparent that you were talking to me. I say stuff like this all the time too maybe next time try... I like to put it in the slow cooker all day.

It was said tongue-in-cheek, I respectfully edited it this morning of my own volition. I was going to leave it at that.

Seriously though, if you don't put it in the slow cooker all day, you're doing it wrong.

I can appreciate that I have a friend that calls everyone a ******* or dumb ass or something like that. That's the problem with writing rather than being in person you can't get any infliction.
I'm beginning to love the word facetious as I use this kind of humor all the time.

I like to use pancetta or salt pork, mirepoix, skirt steak and wine

Leftover smoked turkey pie.

Was going to tuck into it for supper last night but we went to see the Star Wars movie. Then I figured it would figure prominently in lunch today but SWMBO packed a bunch of 'other' leftovers.

If I don't see that hot on the table tonight I'm gonna be VERY disappointed

Nope it kills it. It has powerful heat coming from bottom and top in a small compact unit how would that leave anything raw? It was designed to make egg sandwiches by putting bread then meat then cheese closing the top and putting egg and top piece of bread on top. It is excellent at doing that with no mess. The first sandwich I made was homemade roll prime rib cheddar egg then top of homemade roll. I make a lot of similar things but use tortilla or corn tortilla or white bread or pizza dough or bread dough. Its really nice when the kids are hungry and it takes no time and no clean up and you don't have to watch it. Now I brush it with olive oil and cook one egg on the bottom with cheese and one egg on the top with cheese and leave the bread out. The dish I was referring to was basically leftover Christmas ham rubbed with salt sugar mustard ginger cinnamon and cumin diced up and put into the bottom then cracked the egg on top and put cheese on top of it. On the top shelf I did the reverse I did egg cheese then ham. I take smoked pork butt that has been shredded and throw it in just like I did the ham. Its like those old sandwich makers man could I get silly with those. Heat coming from the top and bottom in a small space will create amazing food. If you see one on clearance grab it. We take it on vacation

 

[applescrap]

Don't believe me then how about 2300 reviews rate it 4.5 stars. 93% of reviewers gave 3 star and up. If you have kids and/or like breakfast seek to find one on clearance. I want the double so I can make Thanksgiving dinner

If white asparagus were an animal instead of a plant, fewer of us would eat it due to the cruelty factor .

Hard to get too sad on behalf of an asparagus though, even if they are forcefully denied sunlight so as to inhibit chlorophyll production.

I did not know this. Thanks @Creamygoodness

They are the veal-calf of the vegetable world it would appear.

I've never eaten it either. I've only ever eated its ethically sourced, locally grown, organic, dolphin friendly verdant cousin. This will change.

Nuke the whales. White asparagus is responsible for global warming and the death of thousands of polar bears.

That pie looks amazing. We going to see the money-shot when you cut into this bad boy.

All kidding aside I think I prefer green asparagus to white as white tends to have less flavor (on purpose). Fun fact, there are people in Amsterdam who have never had green since local farms source so much white.

Wheeee!

This reminds me soon I have to make my cream of asparagus soup. The "cream" part is actually russet potato. Lovely.

It doesn't have less flavour, it just has a very different flavour. To me, white asparagus has a sort of flowery flavour. But then, you might be part of the 75% of people who can't smell asparagus piss, so...

asparagus #1 does not bother me, its the post coffee version that annoys me.

Methyl mercaptan is the offending agent. During a decidedly drunken date early on in our relationship Alice and I determined that methyl mercaptan is noticeable within 15 minutes after eating asparagus. Ahh. Love and science.

Edited to add that after rereading this post I figured I'd better add that there were dozens of paper cups used in that experiment. We were drunk enough to think that the experiment was a dandy idea but not THAT drunk.

Well, I was going to post my NYE cooking plans, but I think I better just leave this moment alone for a while.
