Whoa

Did you ice it all yourself?

Nah, I had a grocery store do it. This just seemed the most appropriate thread to share.

Sunday mornin', makin' pancakes flapjacks.

You are making good pancakes when a) You wish to eat them both with AND without syrup. and b) when they have so many bubbles that they float on the pan on a tiny steam cloud like a miniature edible hovercraft.

Good pancakes should be (a) dense/large enough so that a single one will fill you up and (b) delicious enough that you eat three or four anyway.

Made fajitas today.  Simple and delicious.

Take some chicken breasts, chop into chunks.  Toss into a ziplock bag.  Add a mixture of 1 part orange juice and one part medium or hot salsa.  I chose to add some of this reduced cayenne sauce we make, but you probably don't have that so just season as you like.  Anyway, marinate that for a few hours or overnight if possible, then drain the chicken but reserve the marinade.  Cook chicken in pan over medium heat until cooked through, then add about one chopped onion and one bell pepper cut into slices per chicken breast and re-add the reserved marinade.  Cook until vegetables are at desired consistency.  Mix a few spoonfuls of cornstarch into about a quarter cup of water until smooth, then dump that in and keep it cooking, to thicken the juice.  Serve on tortillas, scooped with a slotted spoon so they're not over-wet.

I thought they looked dumb but I bought a little rocket blender anyway.  I was surprised at how well it made smoothies. So I've been making them nonstop for the past 24 hours.

I was reading an article titled "How to Cook for Your Girlfriend" and at least five times I misread "cook for your girlfriend" as "cook your girlfriend."

I think I've been watching too many Frocto LPs.

Meat shop gives away beef bones and they'll even cut 'em up for you, but yesterday they were way busy so I couldn't get that done.

But they still needed cut if they were gonna be good for stock.

Today's lesson is: make your own stock.  By any means necessary.

That omelette was fantastic.

I didn't even do anything to it.

I may have just been hungry.

Made pork chili over the weekend, texas style because my mother in law hates beans and I didn't want to listen to her whining. I'm doing a low carb diet right now anyway, so I didn't need the extra bean carbs. I guess.

 ::(:

The chili came out great, which was some surprise because I added way too much cumin (or so I thought) which gave the entire pot a bitter, sour flavor at first. I was sure I was looking at a mediocre meal, so I set the thing to simmer and hit the sack. I slept about 12-14 hrs and woke up the next day and had a bowl.

 :perfect:

With enough time for the pork sausage in the chili to seep it's flavor into the liquid and with plenty of time for the cumin to bloom, the end result was an incredible pot of chili, one of the best I've ever made (if not the best, period) and a meal I would definately do again.

Recipe:

1 5 quart cast iron enameled dutch oven

1 can of Rotel /w Habaneros
2 16 oz cans of Tomato Sauce
1 8 oz can of hot mexican style tomato sauce
2 32 oz containers of beef stock
2 large white onions
2 large garlic cloves (or more if you'd like)
1 tube of Jimmy Dean Sage pork sausage
1 tube of Jimmy Dean Hot pork sausage
1-2 lb of cubed pork loin
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp cumin
3 tbsp Mexene chili powder
2 tbsp McCormick chili powder

Step 1: Pour olive oil in a frying pan, cook the cubes of pork loin until they are lightly browned, and add to dutch oven.
Step 2: If necessary, add a little more oil to the frying pan and add both tubes of sausage. Brown. Once sausage is browned through, add to dutch oven.
Step 3: Finely dice two cloves of garlic, and two white onions. Add to frying pan and fry in the fat from the pork sausage on medium high heat until onions are carmelized. Add carmelized onions to dutch oven.
Step 4: Add tomato sauces, rotel, beef stock to pot. Bring to a high simmer.
Step 5: Add cumin, mexene, and chili powder. Stir well to incorporate. Bring to boil.
Step 6: Boil for about 15 minutes. Now reduce down to a light simmer and cover. Simmer overnight.


note: If you can't get Rotel where you live, you can make it yourself by dicing some jalapenos, a single habanero, and some tomatoes. It just makes things easier to pull from a can. Hot tomato sauce can be found in the international aisle of almost any grocery store in the mexican foods section. It'll probably say "salsa" on the side but if you look at the picture on the can it'll look like tomato sauce.

Oh man, I made a huuuuge pan of pseudo-Irish hash (for lack of a better term).

Someone gave me a fair-sized pacakge of breakfast sausages. Now, I sure love me some sausages, but I stopped eating bacon-and-eggs for breakfast years ago when I decided I'd like to live to see 50 (I do love me some Bacon and eggs though - I have it for dinner every now and again). So what was I going to do with all these sausages?

Answer:

1 pack 16 breakfast sausages, minced to lil' sausagey bits
2 large baking potatoes, chopped to hash brown size
1 whole green pepper, chopped small
1 large white onion, chopped small (notice a pattern here?)
One whole pack of mushrooms, sliced (not pre-sliced)
Half-bundle of green onions, chopped into quarter-inch slices
Half-bulb of garlic, minced fine
3 eggs

Put potatoes in a large bowl of water, microwave for 7-10 minutes (depends on yer microwave)

Put sausages in pan with a tiny darbble of water and even less oil
simmer & stir for a few minutes
add onions, mushrooms
simmer & stir for a few minutes
drain and add potatoes, toss in some salt (quantity is up to you, but err on the side of caution).
simmer & stir for a few minutes
add green pepper, a tiny dash of pepper
simmer & stir for a few minutes
add green onions
simmer & stir for a few minutes
add eggs
simmer & stir for a few minutes
...
simmer & stir for a few minutes again

Dish is done when potatoes are soft (and eggs are cooked of course). Don't let it dry out, you may need to splash a tiny tiny bit of water in now and again, but usually the water-rich vegetables will provide any needed fluid.

Om nom nom.

Not that this is cooking, but Trader Joes' frozen Chicken Tikka Masala is way better than anything I make.
