Fragile Bird Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Times like this I wish we lived closer, - i could bring dessert! If only! That sounds absolutely fabulous Fragile Bird. Tonight, home made pizza Since I live alone, I only make chowder maybe once a year. I love a seafood laden chowder, so I end up with a huge pot of it, and it doesn't freeze well. Fortunately I loooooove chowder. :) ETA: I really want to make it to Titancon this year, in Belfast, and Kissedbyfire and I are talking about coming early or staying late to see more of Ireland. I do hope we make it, and we can see you in September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigima Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I helped some, but these are largely my girlfriend's handiwork. I thought they turned out amazing, though, and I wanted to share. Lemon cupcakes:http://i.imgur.com/8cQIfXN.jpgTopping is just piped whipped cream; we adapted these from a recipe for a lemon cake, so it called for a lemon glaze, but we thought it would be too sweet, so we went with this instead. I also really liked the cup liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So I bought this, not realizing it was smoked:http://i.imgur.com/MRFzcWP.jpgIs it pre-prepared and meant to be eaten as-is? Or am I still supposed to cook it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraPrime Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 So I bought this, not realizing it was smoked:http://i.imgur.com/MRFzcWP.jpgIs it pre-prepared and meant to be eaten as-is? Or am I still supposed to cook it? If it's smoked it's already cooked, in my experience. I typically use it in pasta dishes. I will make a cream sauce, and then break the trout into bits and fold it in at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I love smoked trout and salmon. I'll eat it as is, with some mayonnaise on the side. I try not to eat much bread, but it would be good with a nice thin rye. Or broken up in a salad. Or warm it up in the microwave and use as a side with scrambled eggs.

Inigima Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 We made trout fillets tonight. (Note that this is raw rainbow trout fillets, not the smoked ones.) This is probably the single best ratio of mindlessly easy to prepare to amazing result of anything I have ever made. http://i.imgur.com/4bmadCW.jpg (Incidentally, "fillet" vs "filet": What's the difference? Are they pronounced differently?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'm strange that way or there's gourmet dishes made with lemon rice. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ham. Wonderful juicy ham. With ham gravy, potatoes, and carrots. Thus, sometime next week we will have ham and bean soup, one of my favorite soups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
