The story at UDoJ about her saving Thanksgiving last year was true, btw.   Walking over to Aunt Helen's (less than a hundred yards I think, so mostly doable for me) for dinner and wine or pizza and beer was one of life's little pleasures that I shall sorely miss. -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas?

The turkey is ready to go into the smoker (apple wood, if you must know), the sage dressing is ready to go into the oven, Christmas Story is on the TV, and a bottle of 2003 Montelle Cynthiana Port has been finished. Does it get any better than this? Well, given that there is a Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc, a Hogue Late Harvest Reisling, a 2002 Lakewood Pinot Noir, a 2006 Wine by Joe (Oregon) Pinot Noir, and a assortment of Samuel Adams beers waiting, I am guessing that, yes, it does get better.

It is simultaneously exotic and rustic, standing in his studio looking at his armchair from which he painted surrounded by his bric-a-brac was quite moving. Afterwards stopped for lunch at a little restaurant by the lighthouse on the headland. Tapas of thin sliced smoked duck breast and anchovies on tostados followed by a fresh-caught whole sea bass picked out from the day's catch and baked on a bed of sliced potato, tomato, onion, garlic and white wine. Washed down with a local white "picapoll" wine. Heaven.

Lou FCD Posts: 5455 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 27 2007,21:52    I have friends in from Philly for the week. They brought Tastycakes and stuff to make cheesesteaks, including Amoroso rolls and sweet peppers, which are apparently unknown down here.  Washed it down with Yuengling. A little bit of South Philly.  Cheesesteaks.  mmmmm... I forgot to ask for shoo-fly pie, though. -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas? Linky“. ~ Steve Story, Legend

I think I have about a 75% success rate on decent tasting food. Tonight's one-pan special: Some water 2 eggs about a cuppa flour table spoon corn starch half bag o frozen carrots, corn, peas some chicken strips a layer of taco seasoning some garlic some creole seasoning bit of allspice Mix well, toss into skillet at medium heat. Stir irregularly. Damn, wish I had some pepper jack to put on top at the end. -------------- "Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?" -Calvin

A girl friend got me a half-gallon growler of Santa's Secret from Carolina Brewery the other day, which includes, among other things, allspice. It was pretty good.

It was pretty good. I thought allspice was pretty much mandatory in jerk chicken...? Anyway, chili tonight: 1lb Anasazi beans (cook fast, sweet flavor) 5 tablespoons Ancho chili powder 3-4 tablespoons cumin 2 tablespoons coriander 2 tablespoons Bengali white chili powder one half a tomato, pureed 1 half a big yaller onion, shredded 1lb hamburger I had to tone down the heat this time 'cuz last time I put in a tablespoon of habanero powder and it was too hot for the wife and daughter.   Most of the scoville units this time came from the white chili powder, not the ancho powder, which has a wine-like flavor, but not much heat. Still, it came out pretty good. Happily, it didn't come out mushy like last time. The beans kept their consistency. Also, I cut down on the tomatoes 'cuz last time there was too much and the tomato flavor sort of swamped it. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

Of course. My wording was a little weird. The two indispensable ingredients for jerk chicken are allspice and savage heat. I also add the common ingredients cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and garlic.

stevestory Posts: 13407 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 30 2007,23:13    anasazi beans, huh? never had them. I always use black beans.

Arden Chatfield Posts: 6657 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 31 2007,00:07    Quote (stevestory @ Dec. 30 2007,23:13) anasazi beans, huh? never had them. I always use black beans. (Actually, out here one usually sees chili made with either pintos or red beans.) It also depends on whether you're using dried beans or canned beans. When I was a poverty-stricken grad student, I was a purist and always used dried beans (VERY cheap), but the downside to that is that they take so long to cook they tend to end up mushy. Cooking dried black beans is especially draggy in that they take fucking forever to cook, especially if the beans are a little old. Really old dried black beans can turn mushy BEFORE they fully cook -- mushy and crunchy at the same time, if you can imagine that. Pretty awful. Pintos cook a lot faster, and boiling dried pintos give off a really nice smell for the first hour or so. Nevertheless, I switched to canned beans 10 years ago, because they cook a LOT faster and they only go mushy if you overcook them. I never even tried to use dried beans again til my sister told me about anasazi beans. Even dried, they only take like 30-45 minutes of rapid boiling to cook (and I've never seen them canned), so they don't turn mushy. Tastewise, they're kind of like a cross between pintos and red beans, but a little sweeter. Pretty nice. Health food stores with big bean/grain sections often have them, tho they're not that common outside Arizona. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus
