USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

I'd use some of it to make what I call "Yankee dirty rice". Brown ~1 lb. meat, add chopped white onion/celery/bell pepper, saute until it starts sticking to the pan. Deglaze with chicken broth and scrape, add in a package of saffron yellow rice, along with some oregano, cayenne, and a bay leaf or two. Ensure the broth just covers everything, and return to a simmer with the lid on until the rice is done and the liquid is mostly absorbed (20-25 minutes, but keep an eye on it, because the rice will stick). Remove the bay leaves, stir it all up, and serve with hot sauce and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

The real thing would involve chicken livers, Andouille, and white rice. So this is my spin on it.

You could leave the sausages in the casing and chop them up, or you could cut through the casing and squeeze out the meat so it's like bulk sausage (which is what I buy when I make this).

That sounds a lot like a paella.

Making my version of Tyler's Ultimate Sunday Gravy and my from-scratch Italian herb bread. My second or third time through it. It's so **** good and worth the all-afternoon cooking.

If I could find a way to make a candle that smelled like the house right now, I'd be a billionaire.

I did something similar with Spanish rice- brown rice, onions, diced jalapeños, broth, tomato paste, some salt, pepper, cumin, pepper flakes. Turned out well and used as a base in my home made shredded chicken burrito bowls

Vinegar and mustard based BBQ sauces should be far more common. Target offers all of one option for the mustard styles, and one of the vinegar styles. Stopped in at Hy-vee, and it wasn't much better. Still, at least it's possible to find one option of each. This might be where the internet comes into play. Irritating.

For me, it depends on the type of BBQ. Vinegar based is great on pulled pork, but it wouldn't be my cup of tea for say, ribs or brisket. But you are right, they don't get their share of the spotlight.

I never knew there was BBQ sauce from a bottle until I married mr les. We always made our own-sweet/vinegary.

I have no idea of the amounts but it has
ketchup - maybe a cup?
Italian dressing (or cider vinegar) enough to moderately thin the ketchup
soy sauce- few shakes
Worcestershire sauce-few shakes
Lemon juice- tbsp ish
mustard- about 2 Tbsp
maple syrup- to taste- usually mix all the other things, add a good dollop, taste and add more as needed
brown sugar (I stopped adding this)

Mr les adds Balsamic vinegar and leaves out mustard

Made muffins (Cranberry Pecan) using what I had. Didn't have any butter, so used canola oil, and didn't have any milk, so used plain whole milk Greek yogurt. These will either be really great or horrible.

Tasty failures. Didn't look like a muffin. And the batter was hard to come together.

Homemade In-N-Out Double Doubles (Animal-style, of course). Totally done with being an anti-American cheese snob. It's the perfect burger cheese.

Time to let that cholesterol soak in.

I'm having the time of my life going through the Fannie Farmer and Joy of Cooking cookbooks. They're the classics. Honestly, they're all I need.

Tonight, I plan on making peanut butter muffins, as well as Alton Brown's peanut butter fudge.

Also, per Alton Brown's Facebook, Good Eats and Cutthroat Kitchen are now on Hulu.

My mom had a Betty Crocker cookbook bought shortly after she married my father. The ingredient of the day was lard. Lots of lard. Every once in a while she'd make something from that cookbook when I was a kid in the 80s, and it was the purest instance I've had for Heaven on Earth.

The other thing is the original Betty Crocker book has recipes that can be followed and ingredients that can be obtained without living next to a f-cking Brooklyn Trader Joe's.

And as you point out, it has meals a human would enjoy consuming.

Only cookbook I've ever bought that was worth the money.
