Dinner

Not Much I Have Been BATTLING GNARLY FLU For Almost A Week ! Seriously A KICKER !

When a woman eats it, does she feel like a man or more of a woman?

Big ol Juicy burger and a Fatty

I may never eat

a big ole plate of slow cooked short ribs with carrots onion garlic and mushrooms

if it's going to feel more like a man than I do. Really, I have no interest in feeling like a man at all.

I do like slowly braised short ribs, though. Shit, now I have to figure this out?

How do you handle a hungry man? The Manhandlers.

Shells w/ homemade sauce/meatballs (beef/pork/veal).

Those short ribs sure sound good.

Veal Parmesan tomorrow. 

I'm good with everything but the mushrooms, T.

I'm cursed not liking those.

Those shows I had to cringe while force swallowing that wretched tasting stuff, I think is to blame. 

Fresh broiled cod fish, roasted fingerling potatoes with corn.....east coast dinner

Fettuccine with lemon, hot peppers, and Pecorino Romano

Pretty good looking, but I would add some veggies.

I am taking the lady out to our favorite little French/southern joint. Duck Wellington. It is beyond amazing.

Let me know how that works out, Timmy. I've tried a few lemon pasta recipes and they're always too greasy, cloyingly cheesy, or too sharp. Can't seem to get the balance right. I hope this is a good one that I can copy

I agree with Joe, some veggies for color or maybe sliced grilled chicken would pretty up the plating.

A basic lemon pasta recipe doesn't work for me either.  I wouldn't use a stick of unsalted butter on my worst enemy. Olive oil or sea salted butter & garlic would help this dish.

Making my own noodles and adding clams.  I'll report back on how it turns out.

put it on a darker plate

That sounds yummy,TH

If you're using clams add oregano and parsley.

Yes, please report back - it sounds so good!

Okay.  Finished making the pasta, now to throw the whole thing together

>>>>>>Let me know how that works out, Timmy. I've tried a few lemon pasta recipes and they're always too greasy, cloyingly cheesy, or too sharp. Can't seem to get the balance right. I hope this is a good one that I can copy

Well, copy this one. It was really good.  Super lemony, not greasy at all (could be due to using fresh noodles), and just a little cheese grated on top.

>>>>>>>I wouldn't use a stick of unsalted butter on my worst enemy. 

You might if you want them to become your best friend.  Seriously, I had second thoughts about the unsalted butter but the sauce was really good.  I did take your advice and added some chopped parsely, no oregeno as I didn't have any fresh.

I did alter the recipe and made it super simple.  For the sauce I just used 2 Tblspoons of Olive Oil, heated it until almost smoking, added red pepper flakes and cookd for a few minutes added juice and zest of 3 lemons, brought to boil, remove from heat, stir in stick of butter.

Then cook the pasta and drop it in the sauce spin it around a bit and serve with some grated parmesan reggiano.

I know it was good because my wife wants to invite everybody she knows over to have me cook this for them.  She's the real foodie and better cook than me but she had super high praise of this one.  Said it was like a concert in her mouth.

>>>>>Pretty good looking, but I would add some veggies.

That would totally ruin a delicate amzing pasta dish but I'm not surprised at your terrible suggestion.  Possibly a side of asparagus but that's pushing it.  It really is a stand alone dish.

>>>>>>put it on a darker plate

All my handmade ceramic ware hasn't been unpacked yet.

Looks great! 

To Each their own  buddy, no reason to go overboard. Relax, this is about food, just like music, it is what you like. 

Enjoy, looks fantastic

Excellent, Timmy, can't wait to give it a try :) Thank you!

Looks fantastic.

Now I'm hungry.

Looks great!    I'll give the unsalted a shot.  

A few years back I bought a $40 pasta maker --- crank cutter w/3 settings. Spaghetti, Fettuccine and parpadelle.  Easy to clean and does the job.

Yeah, we got one for Christmas.  I was surprised at how easy making pasta is.  A little messy and time consuming, but easy.

Well worth the effort. I could eat fresh pasta daily. 

Even easier is ricotta gnocchi.  I can make a few pounds in 10 minutes.  A quick Alfredo, maybe some procsuitto and you're good to go.  

I am thinking lobster Ravs after seeing this 

You ever try your hand at Ravioli Hoover? There is so much you can do from squash to cheese. I like to bread them and fry them, the. Your favorite sauce and EAT.

I make the sauces at one of my places of work. I am very close to bottling and selling. 

Yes Creek.  I make raviolis too.

Let it go bud, the name is Joe. 

Just trying to have a friendly discussion here buddy. Relax with the Creek crap. You are really infatuated.

anyhow, 

   It looks like you have a great hobby and are wonderful at it. 

Enjoy man

if you ever want to talk food, I am always around and down.

be well man. 

Sure thing Creek.

Welcome to Viva.

Lol, you are a mess.

Fried Raviolis are brilliant with a side of marinara....great appetizer 

Mmmmmhmmmmmmmm

>>>>Lol, you are a mess.

Not as big as mess as the guy pretending he's not Creekhead.  It's got to feel pretty gross.

But all the best with your new identity.

I would t know man. Obsessed much? It really seems to be 80 percent of your posting. Seems really odd to me.

you can think I am hooever (yes, I did that) you want. 

You seem to be a great cook though, that's for sure

all the best on your adventures in locating your buddy

I'm embarrassed for you.

No need, I have nothing to be embarrassed about. 

I don't know you either. I have a great life and enjoy it to the fullest. I am very firm on what an Internet forum is and who is on it. Doesn't bother me in the slightest

best of luck, I got better things to do, like talk about food

Have you seen Robert and Linda's new cookbook? Their stuffed ass recipe is to die for!

So, dinner tonight.

all this talk, I am heading to the store here in a bit and a, going to make ravioli for dinner. I am super craving them. I am thinking a simple arugula salad with walnuts, goat cheese, and a raspberry vinaigrette...YUM

>>>>>No need, I have nothing to be embarrassed about. 

Of course not.  You're always the victim.  Have a great day Creek.  I hope things are better for you than they were.

I think you have a man crush on this guy, you like to talk about him more than anything. 

If I was this dude, something tells me you would not wish him well. Lol

Best of luck

whats for dinner tonight ?

 

Joe

For sure Patrick

Ok, now Kirley and bunk bed Bobbi

yall are great. Thank you

I like that you pretend you don't even know who Creek is now.

It's pretty plain.  

Do you know him?

its amazing you can't see your infatuation with the person. 

Creek

just a plain search of old dinner threads, pretty funny read in general!

very good Italian Beef this evening at a local joint- can u relate Bobby?  Have you had a GOOD Italian beef bro?

pasta dishes looking tasty!

>slowly braised short ribs

are the fucking shit

I was going to broil a chunk of Salmon,  but Hüsky ate it.  The phone rang and he grabbed the package while my back was turned.

He left me the little Cedar plank and lemon slice.

^^lol

Dinner for one and 101 1/2 year-old

 Dinner for a 101 1/2  year old

 Talk about an old friend life is good Long live Edwin Max

PS the margarita is mine I'm having a speedball a nice cup of espresso and a margarita

 I suspect my margarita recipe rivals many of Timmy Hoovers offerings

perhaps he'll offer me a bite or too someday and we can compare notes

I don't remember him offering any food items at any of the zoner  jams.    But we did have some evil barbecue

Slow-cooker shredded-beef chili over rice.  I brought enough for tomorrow, too, but I'll probably eat it tonight.

Seems Joe died fast,

My very favorite recipe for short-ribs is called Catalan Beef Stew, originally from Cook's Illustrated, but found it for free on Epicurious: 

https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/catalan-beef-stew-with-mushrooms-52536641

Major comfort food.

Pork rib ragu over bow-tie pasta.  A slightly disappointing batch.  Ribs not as tender and shreddy as usual.

Got snowed out of work yesterday.  Nothing but cookin' and pickin' (and shovelin').

 double post not yolks.

Canned Soup and i Have Thousands in The Bank $$$$$   So What !

Could I get a low interest loan?

roasting a chicken is a lost art form 

Cooking is so much trouble, especially if it's just for me.

I try it now & then but I just can't get into it, and then there's a mess to clean!

I spend hours a day cooking and cleaning up after.  But I eat well. And healthy(but not low calorie). Hard to get good organic food if you don't cook it yourself.

doing drugs and making salsa verde. 

fun. 

Sounds delicious, what kind of drugs ?

Making a split pea with ham, taters, carrots and onions soup.

And a loaf of banana pecan bread, while enjoying some Dragon's Milk + LSD (the weed)

i like to smoke pure crack cocaine every once in a while -- so crack made from 89% cocaine. 

nice and smooth. 

i simmer the tomatillos, onion, pablanos, long hots, just until tender. 

cool and blend w/ salt/lime/cilantro

i'm gonna go dig out the grill and fire that bitch up. kinda cold outside. 

marinated flank steak, achiote powder, citrus etc. 

I had a grass fed organic New York steak, zuchini,  and red potatoes for breakfast today. Was the best steak I have had in yrs. Nellie liked the gristle and fat I gave her.

Tonight, warmed up greens with brown rice.

Shredded-beef, slow-cooker chili (guajillos & chipotles/two kinds o' beans); blue corn tortillas.

Hearty Meatball Stew. Yummmmmmm!

gabacho tacos 

trash tacos 

hard shell, ground beef, shredded iceburg, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, valentinas. 

for max crunch heat me up. 

wrap that shit in a flour tortilla you got a cheesey gordita crunch. 

Chile Verde for us Tonight !

Delicious quiches, for two. 

One veggie, one meaty

Lobster truffle Mac'n'cheese.  Grilled octopus. An excellent brown ale out of Yonkers.

Little place near Tarrytown Music Hall.

Have never been a fan of ribs ... although compared to most meat dishes, ribs "are what they say they are".

WTF is a "hamburger", "hot dog", or "taco"?

a hamburger can be ground up short rib, brisket, dry aged whatever, etc. it's not just mystery meat, although it certainly can be (mechanically separated junk) if you purchase a burger at say a mcdonald's or equivalent. 

a hot dog can be the same actually - good sausage or nasty. 

now you also added taco -- which isn't a meat. 

I think maybe you're missing the point.

"tongue" is another

So....any meat product should just be labeled 'beef, pork, lamb, chicken part....?'    

Made a Bolognese sauce with sausage(seasoned pork(pig)) and ground beef(cow) over cavatelli(small folded pasta).  I ate with a fork(pronged metal tool) in a bowl(round ceramic vessel) 

haha 

(mechanically separated junk) if you purchase a burger at say a mcdonald's or equivalent. 

mechanically seperated beef has not been allowed in food since 1996 due to concerns over mad cow disease. pork and poulrty are still used and sold, but there are no burgers in the country that use mechanically seperated beef. 

WTF is a "hamburger", "hot dog", or "taco"?

thats a weird question. a burger is a sandwich made with a ground beef patty, a hot dog is a cured and smoked emulsified sausage, and tacos are stuff in tiny tortillias

>> thats a weird question <<

Well, probably the most "normal" question from FOM ever.

>>Made a Bolognese sauce with sausage(seasoned pork(pig)) and ground beef(cow) over cavatelli(small folded pasta).  I ate with a fork(pronged metal tool) in a bowl(round ceramic vessel) 

lol

still sounds good, but yeah..

It was awesome but was missing fresh parsley & basil(a culinary herb of the family Lamiaceae).   A little on the spicy side for the kids but perfect for me.

I have Bearnaise sauce leftover from something I made for Xmas.  I'll use it for tonight, making EU organic Atlantic salmon with cauliflower. 

Love a good bearnaise but hasn't it separated already?  Not sure if it's good for that long.  

Not big on salmon --- have had it plenty of ways but haven't found one that I can take more than a few bites of.  

I've got a chicken and corned beef to cook up this week, help warm the house up...  haven't decided on recipes yet.  

Chicken dumplings tonight for me.  

The only thing I need with crock pot corned beef is a fork and that's even optional.  Rye bread and mustard if im feeling adventurous.   Damn, now I need to grab a corned beef this week..... 

The bearnaise still looks good but I'll double check that tonight. 

Cut up rotisserie chicken, meat sauce, pasta, and some good bread. Then some college football

Cut up rotisserie chicken, meat sauce, pasta, and some good bread. Then some college football

Pulled-beef BBQ or linguine w/ clams & shrimp; both freezer leftovers.

Or I'll hit the street for tonight and save both for tomorrow, when I work a longer shift and could probably eat both.

Running on a pork roll & cheese and caffeine presently.

Some short ribs defrosting at home.  If I feel ambitious, I'll get them in the slow cooker before I sack out.

roasted some pork bones and chicken backs for some white boy ramen type broth. 

sirloin roast seasoned up, sliced nice and thin. noodles, etc. 

An improvised chicken and andouille sausage thing.

But that was actually "breakfast".

So . . . dinner will likely be taco cart, Halal Paradise, or possibly something from the new Urban Space food court down the block.  They close at 10 are are supposedly on the spendy side, but it's indoors, which is a factor tonight.

ramen is always made with unroasted bones ogkb, gtfo with your western soup techniques

wasn't half bad tbh. what, stock w/ miso isn't ramen???? lol. 

Raw bones are best for bone broth also.

^i mean, yes and no. haha. depends what your going for, wouldn't you agree?

but for a quick liquid based dinner, where the stock is the star, i'm roasting the bones for that deep intense best flavor color texture. 

Raw is okay for chicken bone broth, but beef bone broth has a fuller flavor if the bones are roasted for an hour first.

Might taste better, but nowhere near the nutrients.

Isn't the key to the nutrients putting vinegar in the cold water? It pulls the minerals out of the bones.

I don't know, I can't see how a 45 minute roast will degrade the nutrient profile, when the bones are then simmering for 48 hours. That's where the nutrients are pulled out.

But they are pulled out by the broth, where they stay until you drink it.
