Fragile Bird Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Just went out to a local Italian restaurant that had the temerity to open during this pandemic. Every two weeks or so I drop $40 or $60 on a take-out dinner, a bit more tonight since I also got a desert, tuxedo cake. My usual is calamari grilled with tomatoes, olives and capers, and a Caesar salad. I also have a glass of Pinot Grigio while I wait. I could stay and eat, the place is usually pretty empty, but I’d rather eat at home. Nice people, I wonder how long they’ll last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Something new -- a chickpea (garbanzo) flour pancake with apples and other things, baked in one of my cast iron skillets. It was an excellent dinner on a night way too early here to be as cold as it is, and has been, for the last 6 - 7 days. Wine went well with it too. Partner made a salad. I think of it as another version of a Tortilla (the Spanish kind filled with potatoes and so on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireWolfSpirit Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have been eating too many Breakfast Burritos (home made) this week. TRICK OR TREAT Regards our eats and the approaching Halloween, we need to avoid passing poisons to the trick-or-treaters- The Center for Science and Public Interests is recommending we avoid all numbered food dyes.

Candy company Brach’s alone sells more than 100 different candies with the dye. Besides showing up in Pez and Peeps, Red 3 is used in some varieties of Betty Crocker’s Fruit by the Foot, Dubble Bubble chewing gum, Entenmann’s Little Bites, and Hostess’ Ding Dongs. Albertson’s, Kroger, Meijer’s, Target, and Walmart all use Red 3 in some of their house-brand products. –CSPI president Dr. Peter Lurie.

Ring3r Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Yes! Foodies! I've been doing a lot of seasoned veggies and game lately. I've got a vacuum sealer that I use. I can buy mixed veggies or "borrow" stuff from my sister's garden and preserve it long-term. I usually throw a small pad of butter in and then whatever seasonings I like and seal them. The spices are random so it's never the same thing over and over. If you cut a tiny slit in the vacuum bag, it turns it into a perfect steamer for the microwave, the butter gets all over everything and the spices mix up and it's always perfect. For meat, I take a few hundred pounds of game a year. This year I have a bunch of wild pig and black bear, so the focus has been on sausages. Various mixes of jalapeno, cheddar, blue cheese, etc. I've got my own hand-crank sausage processor and I cook them in big batches then freeze for heating later, they make great brats and hot dogs. Basically don't have to buy meat if I don't want, though I love to sous vide salmon, poultry, and good cuts of pork and beef for a treat once in a while.

Fragile Bird Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Something I’ve become fond of this year: zucchini fritters. Why they’re called fritters, I don’t know, they are just a savory pancake. Really easy to make, though a bit time consuming. Grate three peeled zucchini into a dish towel or a piece of cheesecloth, add a sprinkle of salt and let sit for a while in a colander, then squeeze out as much of the water the salt drew out as you can. I used to just try to do it in the colander but the dish towel or the cheesecloth is very helpful. Then add a finely chopped clove of garlic, some pepper, 1/4 cup of flour, some spices, like an Italian or Provence mix, and one beaten egg, mixing it into a goopy mess. Drop a tablespoon or so into a hot frying pan with a bit of olive oil in it and fry like a pancake. You can eat them plain or with a dollop of sour cream, as with potato pancakes.

So anything you fry in the pan can be a fritter. Though why would we call into sentience a mere vegetable mass only to toss it into burning oil and eat it? Why this added step of giving it animal life with the "critter" element only to consume it? Why this performative violence? Those sound delicious, btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Zucchini pancakes/fritters. Those are great. You can also use Fondor for seasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may try the next batch with curry powder as the flavoring. @BigFatCoward oooh I bought a box of frozen breaded calamari at Costco and had a portion for dinner and they turned out well. The first time I baked them on a cookie sheet sprayed with olive oil and it was very messy, the second time I used parchment paper and that worked perfectly, easy to flip half way through and no mess afterwards. But squid are so damn smart I may have to give up eating calamari, just like I rarely eat pork anymore because, damn, pigs are the smartest creature in the barnyard. Squid are so friggin smart.

VigoTheCarpathian Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Friday night splurge was birria - we did quesabirria tacos, and birria ramen (stormy nights and spicy soup are one of my favorite combos). Tonight was roasted chicken (try the Bourdain method) with a salad and mashed potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
