Ah.. it was about time to make Curry Chicken again and have a DRY beer with it :eat2:

That looks so good. For some reason I keep thinking I want cider with it.

Oh, cider for sure is nice with it. Just that day i had it with beer. Usually i'm drinking sparkling water cause this stuff does make you thirsty :wubu:

[Michelle]

Pan, what kind of bread is that with your curry photo? Does it have cheese on it?

[Michelle]

Great thing to make to use up veggies - as long as you have cabbage, onions and garlic. In this version, I added chopped scallions, broccoli and whole cashews to top it off.

[Friday]

OK, now you have to pop over to the everyday recipe thread and post the recipe. This looks delicious.

Beef croquettes & beef tamales both made by Goya.

[Ruby Ripples]

Ok, here you go Ruby. That's again quite easy to do.

Ingredients (1 person)

- 1 fish filet

- approx 4 - 5 tablespoons of streaky speck (bacon), chopped to very small pieces
- one half of a bell pepper, chopped (i just happened to have a red one, using a green one might make it look better i suppose)
- approx 1 cup of gherkins, chopped

1 -2 onions, sliced
1 BIG clove of garlic
2 tablespoons of tomato puree
one third cup of meat broth (i'm using 'mediterranean' style but anything else with not a too particular taste should do it)

lots of tarragon (the dried herbs are fine)
salt, freshly grinded black pepper to your liking

Preparation:
Sprinkle lemon over your fish filet and add salt later.
Heat up some olive oil in a pan and add first the speck, after a while the bell pepper and then the gherkins. Reduce the heat towards the end.

Spread these ingredients over the fish (on its inner side), coil it up and insert 2 toothpicks at its end so that it will keep that way. Note: Cause the sides of this rolled fish are open, some of the filling will fall out later (not too bad) but you can keep that to a minimum when you rotate it in the pan later with the necessary caution (this might be the only minor tricky part of this dish)

Heat up more oil in a SECOND pan and fry the fish roll from all sides, rotate it with caution ! Then add the onion ... a bit later the tomato puree, the meat broth, the steamed speck/bell pepper/gherkins you have left over from before and press the garlic over it. Add tarragon (much) plus salt and pepper to your liking. Turn the heat down now and cover the pan. After approx 10 mins it should be ready to serve (stirring the ingredients around the fish in the meantime shouldn't hurt of course).

I had it with rice ( i like rice anyway) but these VERY spicy fish roulades will taste with almost anything. A good dry wine to it of course would be heaven :eat2: Enjoy !

thankyou for taking the time to type out the recipe. it looks so good, the chopped gherkins just sound so interesting in it, and tarragon!

[panhype]

Pan, what kind of bread is that with your curry photo? Does it have cheese on it?

LOL Originally i wanted to buy a bhatura from the Indian restaurant down at the ground floor where i live. But when i went there they had already closed the kitchen. So i took one of the pita breads i had and threw it into a pan with a lil bit of oil. That was quite okay.

[Fuzzy]

Every spring, Mrs Fuzzy's family has a get together on a Sunday up a local canyon. This year, we were assigned to bring a potluck side dish. So I made up a bean dish to have with the hot dogs, potato salad, etc.

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/3461/beansqi4.jpg

Cut a half pound bacon into little peices and fry in a dutch oven until almost crispy. Drain on paper towels and discard the grease. Brown 1 pound hamburger with 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2-4 cloves garlic (minced). Add 1 cup ham (diced) and the bacon.

Add 1 can red beans, 1 can navy beans, and 1 can pinto beans (all drained); two cans tomato sauce, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon Tabasco, and a 1/2 teaspoon oregano.

Simmer until mixture reaches desired consistency. (I like mine like a thick stew, but not pasty)

[panhype]

thankyou for taking the time to type out the recipe. it looks so good, the chopped gherkins just sound so interesting in it, and tarragon!

You're welcome :)
You got it. The gherkins and the tarragon (together with the speck/bacon) are giving it its particular and nice taste :eat2:

oooh those meatballs look great! What's in the center? feta cheese? And what's the side dish?

[panhype]

oooh those meatballs look great! What's in the center? feta cheese? And what's the side dish?

Yep, feta cheese. The meatballs also are slightly differently flavored, they contain lemon juice, herbs, parmesano cheese and olive oil. The side dish simply is fried potatoes (but with less heat than usual) and at the table i topped them with grated raw milk emmental (Swiss) cheese. Had something like that in a Greek restaurant recently - they did use a different cheese there - but the emmental was fine.

[AnnMarie]

I'm totally confused on where to put these pics, so I'm sprinkling them around here, Pretty Cakes, and pic of you with your food threads. You can go searching if you want to see others. :)

The cake Deidra made me, from last night - coconut cake with a layer of chocolate between, and between the cake layers is chocolate fudge/frosting/coconut (send insulin, please). It's the prettiest cake I've ever had in my life, and it's totally delicious. It weighed like 10lbs, and I can't finish it all right now... so I'm going to section it up a little (I have about half left, after we broke into it last night) and freeze the rest for later dates. YUM!! :)

I have been wanting to post pictures of my food, i only just took a picture of a recent lunch i had. Strawberries are in season once again so i had a huge bowl of strawberries. And my other typical lunch item, a huge salad. It has romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, chopped tofu, mint, snap peas and soy sauce and seasoned rice vinegar. It's a tasty salad that i eat nearly daily :)

oh wow...that salad is gorgeous. And those strawberries? All I could think was that I want the tops you cut off so I can nibble the strawberry around the stem. I will keep you from being a strawberry waster, because that's the kind of person I am.

:)

[panhype]

... Strawberries are in season once again so i had a huge bowl of strawberries. ...
*sigh* Here's not the season yet. Of course you can get strawberries right now though. What's bugging me is that the 'good looking' ones taste watery and stale but most people want to buy those. My parents used to have strawberries in their garden - what a superior taste that was. So i haven't bought strawberries for years.

[panhype]

Merguez is a VERY popular sausage in Northern Africa, France and the area where i grew up. And when you're lucky you can get it even in 'barbaricum' Berlin occasionally. In my opinion it's the sausage of all sausages, very delicious, rich flavour and lo-fat.

[activistfatgirl]

If I had that salad, I would slice up those strawberries and add them in with a little citrus zest. I was cake horny earlier, now I'm salad horny. :P

[bigsexy920]

rich flavour and lo-fat.

Hey, I thought it was NO FAT NO FLAVOR !!!

Well at least that's what I heard ;)

My parents used to have strawberries in their garden - what a superior taste that was. So i haven't bought strawberries for years.

I couldn't agree with you more here. the huge bright red "perfect" looking Spanish strawberries in the supermarket taste like water and nothing else. I remember my granny's strawberries in her garden, grown in our much colder, wetter, duller climate. Those little strawberries took a long time to form, and by the time they were ready to eat they were probably 2cm long at the most. But they had the most exquisitely intense, sweet strawberry flavour, that I haven't tasted in many years. *sighs along with you*.

The same applies to my very favourite fruit, raspberries. They are tasteless and usually rather sour in the supermarket, but I remember as a child, picking only the fattest, purplest, almost bursting with over-ripeness, berries in a relative's garden here in Scotland. They were insanely delicious, they tasted as though they already had cream and sugar in them...bliss!!! I don't think anything else in life has tasted so good! :eat1:

[Ruby Ripples]

I keep forgetting to take pics for here, but remembered tonight. I made chicken breast with garlic and paprika along with what I call stroganoff potatoes - chopped potatoes cooked with chopped onion, garlic and paprika. then heavy cream, lemon juice and grainy mustard added at the end. I put some salad on too for colour.

that looks soooo good. I love strawberries so much--wanna dive on in! And that salad looks great too. Those Asian flavors sound like they'd be great together.

I've never had that sausage...sounds great. Pan, your table-settings are always so pretty and careful! How fun.

YUM!

[panhype]

N'ah.. maybe i should have said: lo-fat compared to other sausages. The meat used for them is supposed to have 20% fat maximum, that's still alot.

Yup, perfectly right, Ruby. Unfortunately it doesn't stop here. Just say tomatoes. Or cucumbers (my tzatziki doesn't taste anymore like it used to) *cries* The power of marketing. Not.

In principle that would attract my attention too. But then again the canned ones that are available (here) are really delicious so that i've never looked any further. However i have no idea if those are vegetarian .. maybe ... NOT :confused:

[MissToodles]

Ruby, most tomatoes as you know are quite flavorless out of season. By roasting them, it helped to develop their flavor. It was almost like eating a tomato leather (you know fruit leathers?), but instead of sweet, it was savory. I will do this again!

Panhype, my local market sells huge cans (6.6 lbs) of imported Greek grape leaves. Now, I like them, but I couldn't possibly eat *that* many nor do I know anyone who would share a can with me. Hence the desire to make them at home. Plus, I'm one of those annoying 'wants to eat whole grains 95% of the time' people. I want to swap the white rice for brown.

We attempted a camping trip for this weekend, but the storm clouds moved in and I didn't feel like cooking in the rain. So I made our camp meal on the back patio. Beef stew anyone?

Quite likely i've posted something similar before - i just love to boil down tomatoes/onions/garlic/lotsa herbs ... and add whatever i got: this time seared chicken breasts, merguez sausages and zucchini. For extra flavor i gave it a good shot of dry white wine :D

Whoa. Chicken parmesan. A long time since i had this. 2 weeks or so :eat2:

When i posted mine a while ago i wasn't aware that it is that common (in the US). I kinda became addicted after i tried to 'reverse-engineer' what i had in a VERY original Italian restaurant ages ago (it was actually scalopa parmesano but i changed it to chicken parmesan).

I see pasta and veggies...is that what you are calling chicken parm? To me, chicken parmesan is boneless chicken breast, baked with tomato sauce and covered in mozzarella cheese (see below). I would call yours pasta alfredo or pasta primavera with chicken :)

Well, sure, you put the parm on too, but it's mozzarella that makes something "parmesan". I know - weird!! :)

lol Not weird, as i put Emmenthal cheese on top (http://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/forums/showpost.php?p=346610&postcount=741). But i bread it with parmesano and also add some of it to the tomato sauce.

Nope! I can't look at ice cream again for at least a week.. after I ate THIS. I took a dessert craving and a couple of hours ago I made a kind of banana split, with banana, neopolitan ice cream, tinned fruit cocktail, whipped up heavy cream, and some maple flavour syrup. It was VERY good, but it seemed to be never ending and I had to call on my son to finish it for me! Sorry it's not fancy looking, Im not the best at displaying food!

Here is a bowl with that yummy cheesecake filling-in-a-tub and some fresh picked Jersey strawberries.


I only like ultra dark red strawberries as they are usually the really sweet ripe ones. These strawberries all look that way, were they very good?

Yup! Amazing really. So sweet.

And that was some sundae you made. It looked mighty pretty to me!

Oh my lord, this was a stupid thing for me to do. I can't eat until around noon tomorrow as I'm prepping for a medical procedure in the morning and I was doing fine until I came here.

CHICKEN PRIMAVERA
(Sorry for mix-up)

3 lg. skinless, boneless chicken breasts (cut up in bite sized pieces)
2 sm. cloves garlic, peeled, mashed
1/2 stick butter
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/3 c. dairy sour cream
1/3 c. fresh grated Parmesan cheese
4 cups Pasta (any favorite)
1 cup Carrots (diced)
1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)

Dash of paprika (optional)

Saute the chicken in the butter and garlic. Add the carrots and broccoli and cook until tender. Add the sour cream, oregano and the parmisan cheese and simmer on Low for 15 minutes. Add the peas.

Cook pasta until it is El-Dente (still a bit firm). Drain and mix with Chicken mixture.

Serve alone or with your favorite bread.

Hey.. - many thanks for taking the time and posting your recipe :eat2: Sounds interesting. Wouldn't have thought so far to add sour creme but i will try that soon, just to get some variation in my attempts :)

From a couple of days ago..but I am still thinking about it. Justin made up some recipe to use some pretty eggplants we picked up at Fresh Market. It was creamy and rich and luscious...and delicious. I forgot to take a photo until I was sneaking back in there to get the leftovers. Eggplant, onions, tomatoes, garlic and a bunch of spices. Sigh..

Playing a little catch up with these two posts, and still wondering if I'm going to be able to find my camera charger. I'm down to 1.5 bars!! :(

Here is dinner from the other night... a roast beef sandwich on a potato roll with mayo, and a bowl of Pasta Roni Angel Hair and Herbs. Horrible picture, I have to stop taking them in the living room... light is awful and the flash just ruins everything.

And here is tonight's dinner. I decided to make sausage and potato soup again, but slightly different than my last time (in the step by step thread).

This is in the pot, before I added the half and half... I'll try to snap a shot of it in the bowl in a bit.

What is that yummy stuff in the back? Pita bread?

Oh, and what is the recipe for that gorgonzola sauce? Looks delish!

Yes, it's pita bread. It's pre-baked (?) so i throw it ontop of the toaster first and then into a pan with hot oil just for a few seconds. Recent discovery but i got quite addicted. Quite amazing actually since i normally prefer fresh bread.

Ok, with the Gorgonzola sauce. I can give you only rough quantities and i'll use 'tablespoons' as entity cause i'm too tired now to convert from the metrical system. It all depends anyway on how strong the flavor of your Gorgonzola is. And on your personal liking.

One portion !

1 tsp olive oil
3-4 tsp streaky bacon, chopped into very small pieces
1 glove of garlic
3-4 tsp mild Gorgonzola
2-3 tsp (clotted) cream
Tabasco (or Hot West Indian Chili Sauce)
Salt

Heat up the oil (medium heat) and add the bacon. Squeeze the garlic glove into it and reduce the heat. Crumble the gorgonzola (by using a fork) and add it. Needs frequent stirring otherwise it will stick. Add the cream, keep stirring till the sauce gets a smooth texture. Season with tabasco and salt to your liking. Preparation takes about as long as boiling your pasta (10 mins).

Bon appetite !

Panhype that cauliflower in soysauce looks great, could I have that recipe please. I got all the ingredients for the fish in tarragon with chopped up gherkins etc, except I cant find fish to suit just now. I was rather spoiled by having a fish van that came round our street twice a week and his fish was fresh from the market that morning. Unfortunately he retired recently, and nobody was interested in taking his business over. I CANNOT eat supermarket frish no matter how fresh they say it is. It always smells fishy to me. So, til I get to the fishmonger I know that has good fish, I'll have to wait. Ive eaten so many of the gherkins I'll have to buy more :eat2:

I have a few pics to post here. Saturday's dinner - sliced pork loin with red peppers in black bean sauce, with boiled rice. Sunday's lunch and dinner.. Chinese shrimp fried rice made with Saturday's leftover rice. Tonight's dinner - made more Chinese fried rice with the last of the rice, and had the rest of the pork loin steaks with orange pepper, onion, beansprouts and a homemade lemon/ginger/chilli sauce.

The strange dessert is a pic I thought Id deleted. Saturday night I had a craving for something very sweet, so I fried two bananas in butter, sugar and malibu rum. Then had them with raspberry ripple ice cream, m&ms and caramel sauce :p The pic came out strange looking, was taken late at night under a lamp.

Lastly, I HAD to buy this bottle of Cider as it was named after me!

Tonight's dinner:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/MissToodles/pork.jpg

sauteed yellow squash/tomatos, refried beans with a Mexican cheese (can't remember the name of it) on top, with center loin pork chops. The sauce is a strange combo of teriyaki/barbecque, sliced onions & bay leaves. It somehow works. I brown the chops, then dump all the ingredients in a crockpot.

I'm on a zucchini/yellow squash kick. Just can't get enough of it. Had it with corn on the cob, and two veggie burgers.

I went to a KFC focus group last week and surprise, surprise, I developed a craving. I also must admit I like instant mashed potatos with topped with chemically composed gravy. Must be a weakness for MSG.

You're lucky to have (or have had, and hopefully will again) a fish van to buy fresh fish from. I agree with you on the supermarket fish; the fish I get from there is never fresh and frequently smells fishy. There are high-end grocery stores in So Cal, but none are nearer than an hour or so away :(. We have to settle for as-close-to-fresh-as-possible fish.

How was your Katy cider? I love cider.

Ugh to fishy fish :( . My Katy cider was really nice! It was quite crisp and not toooo dry, good flavour. Cider is really being promoted hard here now on TV as THE drink, after many years of it being unfashionable. I've always loved it though! Now theyre advertising it as to be drunk over lots of ice and in the adverts it looks soooo sparkly and refreshing. Apparently it's working too, bar sales of cider have increased hugely.

Hmm, that sounds quite like a story (the fish). I remember years ago somebody (who had the insider knowledge) told me that Berlin is getting a fish shipment once per week, every Thursday. So it was a good idea to buy fish either on Thursday evenings or Friday :cool: Maybe that has changed now (would think so). And i buy fish in the supermarket but only after scanning it thoroughly through the glass of the vitrine. Then again my standards might be lower, i just would hate if the fish wouldn't have a firm texture.

Anyways, will work on your recipe later today :)

Re- what you said about the fish in Berlin... fishing boats don't go out on a Sunday here, so I would never buy fish on a Monday. Fishmonger shops (few and far between now) are closed on Mondays anyway. I bet most younger people haven't noticed that (they buy everything in the supermarket though, that's why the fish vans and fishmonger shops are dying out).

Here's a site for conversions (http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/weight).

Serves 4 !

500 g ground meat
olive oil
100 g onions
2-3 garlic gloves
1 cup broth
4 tablespoons tomato ketchup
4 tablespoons soy sauce (Kikoman)

1 cauliflower (mid sized, approx 500 g)

salt, pepper, chinese seasoning (eventually "5 Spices Mix")

.................................................. .......................
Cut the green off your cauliflower, break it up into little pieces and wash those. Cook the cauliflower till it's half done - preferredly in a way like i described here (http://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/forums/showpost.php?p=469588&postcount=22) - and put it aside.

Heat up the oil and fry the meat. After a few mins add the chopped onions and mashed garlic. When the meat's done, add ketchup, broth, soy sauce and spices. Reduce the heat, add a cover and keep simmering it for 10 mins. Then add the cauliflower and keep simmering it for another 5-8 mins. Best thing is to sample a piece of cauliflower for making sure it's done.

Note: Try to avoid overcooking the cauliflower - tastes so much better !!!

Best with basmati rice.

Found that interesting. I have table and chairs but, unless i'm having visitors, i usually eat at my .... computer :D

(fishing boats) Berlin' s so far off the sea... And too urban for having fish vans, ice vans etc. Just researched a bit, what's totally ruling the market here now is Nile perch (Viktoria Barsch called here)... surely a crucial product. But after the stupid overfishing in the traditional places fish got that expensive, so Nile perch indeed provides good quality for an affordable price. Still way more expensive than pork or chicken. But i love fish, so WTH !

Thanks for this recipe, I think I'll try it this week. The UK is metric although its rather confusing. I am 43 and was only ever taught metric at school , then I left school and everything in real life was imperial measurements. So I had to re-learn all those. Then about seven years ago the EU lost patience with the UK (about time) and we were made to change all weights and measurments to metric by law. So, yes, we are metric, and I buy minced beef in 500g packs, so thats fine! Confusingly though, distance signs are still in miles on the roads, and mileometers in cars are miles too. With being online too, I'm getting pretty good at converting weights into pounds, stones, and kilos. :D I don't know if UK pound is the same as US, I only know the US gallon is smaller than the UK one. :confused: :confused:

ps. I only EVER use basmati rice, I don't like any others!

wow...that plate of grilled goodies just made my mouth squirt..!!!

[Michelle]

Oh man, EP, that is like almost the dinner of perfection. If I could, which I can't with this cast, I'd drive to the store right now and buy the ingredients to duplicate it. Randi's line "you torture me" is doubly true in my case. Your pictures are mouth-watering and I'd send some rep to you for them, but I can't right now.

[EvilPrincess]

Michelle, O.O.H, SVS :bow:

Thanks...

I will admit it was a great meal--- the salad was the craving, and it hit the spot.

I almost wrapped the shrimp in bacon, but for once had some restraint.

Michelle, ouch! Sorry about your ankle. If I lived nearby I would bring you groceries and cook some meals for you!!

Or, I'd have the groceries delivered and then I'd cook some meals for you. Yeah, I think that's more likely ;)

Here is my dinner... to go with a night of thread avoidance. Ahh, the nice safe Foodee Board.

Tonight was Pasta Roni (parmesan) but I wanted to jazz it up a little, so I added peas and crumbled bacon. Yum!

Oh yes... the wedge, I still remember my first :blush: ( hole in the wall seafood restaurant backwater Louisiana) I get a excited when I see it on a menu, and crave sometimes to distraction. It is the best use of a head of lettuce ever.

*raises hand*

That would be me. Plus I want really neat serving plates to make my food look better! (you know, like the asymmetrical ones with little compartments?)But I need to get my house in order before I'm allowing myself to get anything new.

[Fuzzy]

Actually, since I've been showing more everyday foods, Mrs. Fuzzy has wanted even more plates, serving dishes, and placemats. :huh:
I think I've created a monster. ;)

First picture posted here and I would like to say I would like to scream and pluck out a few hairs. I am so computer dumb, and I swear I am trying..lol. I cannot seem to resize the nice close up I had of the intact pork roast, and I downloaded that IrfanView thing. With my old Microsoft photo editor, I at least could do this simple task..sigh.

Anyway, this was last nights dinner. Note the potato peelings on the side..no extra charge. Those are cheesy taters..the cheese being whipping cream. They also have Lawry's season salt, dill and a lil Franks Red Hot sauce. The salad was just spinach, tomato and onion.

This was the first roast I ever cooked on my little own:batting: . It was gorgeous, if I do say so myself!


*eta....damn...I got it too small..and this looks much better...bigger..heh

This looks really nice, Ms State. And i'm sure it tasted so *makes an entry on his list of places to 'fly in' when touring the US :)*

Looks darn tasty to me! I love roast pork!!

Feel free to send me pics so I can size them for you, if it would be a help. PM me for my email addy.

Also, shooting the plates (individually) close up helps (is there a macro setting on your camera?)

Now I want pork and taters!

Well, this is a rerun of the other night, with a different pasta (I think this must not look any good to anyone, but hey... it's what I ate!)

Actually, it does look good to me. What's in it? Is it ham? or pancetta? Ah, I see upthread that it's bacon. Nice!

I would prefer frozen peas o canned, but I am proud to see something green on your plate!! ;)

And I think you should be cheering the milk, more than the cake, since you had milk scarcity issues!!

I've taken to affectionately calling it "poor man's carbonara"... lol :) It's pretty good! I've been using a whole small can of peas... I think a half would do fine, it's a bit pea heavy. But you're right... peas are the most green I ever get, and I'm fairly sure they don't even count. LOL :)

And you're right... I totally snubbed the milk, when it was the KEY to the experience!

The pasta has totally my attention, AnnMarie (I'm not that much a sweeties person). And the peas/bacon combo is a classic anyway (hopefully i don't sound like 'Mr-Know-It-All', you are a way more advanced cook anyway). It looks pretty similar to the "Spaghetti Telefono" i posted a while ago, and i am using the whole load of peas as well, but making a huge portion, with 3/4s or so of it (when i don't have guests) ending up in the freezer waiting for the weeks to come. Just to give an idea.

That coconut cake looks amazingly good. It's a shame I'm trying to drop a little weight otherwise I would ask for the recipe.

[Ruby Ripples]

Tonight I had one of my favourites. I don't know how to spell the name of this as it was someone cooked it for me 20 yrs ago and I never thought to ask. It sounds like "Kollisvarry" and I was told it's Hungarian. Anyway, it's smoked sausage sliced and put in a dish with lots of shredded white cabbage, paprika powder and heavy cream. Then cooked in the micro for ten mins. I had it with my favourite rocket, and some pickled beetroot. :eat2: I'm having some Haagen-Dazs Belgian Chocolate ice cream now, not taking a pic as I'm having it straight out the tub :p

[panhype]

Yep, "Kollisvarry" sounds quite Hungarian to me :) - don't speak any Hungarian though. The only word i know is "Gulasz" :D Anyways, looks turbo delicious and you could send me a plate right over. It's interesting to see btw that beetroot is slowly getting trendy. A few hyped restaurants here are offering dishes with it. And even in Greece i had excellent beetroot, not in touristy places though.

Hey you're only an hour's cheap flight away, you hop on over here and I'll make you a plateful! Thats really funny about beetroot being trendy. It has always been eaten in the UK, sold in jars pickled and sliced.. and probably looked down on by food snobs lol. I love it though. I also like pickled red cabbage which is sold the same way, but chose beetroot tonight as I was already eating cabbage.
I don't like beetroot that isn't pickled, my mum has always eaten it that way but I think its yucky.

[Fuzzy]

Agreed. I prefer pickled beetroot. :)

Tonight's meal is inspired by Ruby's Hungarian fare. Here is my attempt at Chicken Paprikash ( over egg noodles with steamed broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower)

[Ruby Ripples]

Maybe I'm crazy but I much prefer canned peas over frozen ones.I hate most frozen peas but I love canned ones..maybe it's a texture thing.I actually like the mushy texture of canned peas.

[panhype]

More from the fast and spicy department. Seared chicken breasts. The sauce i made in the same pan, just added cream, leftover wine (yep, that does happen here lol) plus spices. The salad is Lollo Biondo plus some fried Halloumi.

[panhype]

Its kinda hard to find what that recipe is called, when the four ingredients above are nearly in EVERY hungarian recipe. ;)

LOL the only other 'Hungarian' tagged recipe (besides gulash) that i have is Hungarian Kohlrabi (turnip). Again the same style. But maybe it's just the recipe authors who are bringing that idea into circulation. While one should give Hungary the benefit of doubt :) i mean considering the history of that country and its various influences i'm sure they have lots of different delicious dishes.

Pan, your chicken and sauce look yummy.

What better way to note my 1000th post than posting a photo in the food thread?

Tonight's meal - a salad inspired by EP's wedge above, except mine is not a wedge. It has fresh mushrooms, roma tomatoes, real bacon, croutons, red onion slices, cottage cheese and some blue cheese dressing. I've been craving salad lately and I also had this for breakfast this morning. It's really, really yummy.

Unfortunately, I seemed to have a smudge on my lense and I didn't get a good, clear photo. But here it is. Tomorrow it will be this salad and watermelon.

Today's lunch was the same salad as with last night's dinner, since I enjoyed it so much, but this time I had cold prawns with it (shrimp) and I made up some prawn cocktail sauce.

Tonight's dinner was pork in black bean sauce with peppers and water chestnuts, and thin chinese egg noodles. It was nice but not delicious. I wasn't really in the mood for pork but noticed the chops had to be used by today. Think some strawberry cheesecake ice cream is in order now :p

Yes, in one of them was paprika (the mild one) but not in the cream cheese with the red color :D I asked the girl in the store to tell me more (they had 8 or so different variations of cream cheese on sale that day) but i can't remember more details anymore.

Made me some Gazpacho, finally. What reminded me of the fact that i MUST have this more often.

For the ones of you who don't know: Gazpacho is a cold vegetable soup. Basically you mince a variety of vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, onions, garlic etc) plus french bread with your food processor, add spices plus tabasco, vinegar and olive oil. Keep that in the fridge for at least two hours. Before serving you add a few chopped vegetables. Of course there's lots of room for variations. This time i added arugula (rocket) for the first time and it was a full success.

Homemade Chicken veggie soup. It was a recipe from 30 minute meals. Love her or hate her, Rachael Ray usually has decent ideas on her show. It was supposed to be a "crustless pot pie". Despite the two tablespoons of flour, it barely thickened. Oh well, it was still delicious. I added extra veggies (carrots,asparagus, zucchini, sweet potatos instead of regular ones, onions, peas, celery) and big old chunks of chicken. It also has some white wine in it. The flavors are spot on.

Looks yummy! I'm a soup fiend.

I can never remember which thickeners require boiling and which don't, but I usually start off with a roux whenever a soup requires flour in it. Just a hint for future references. :)

[MissToodles]

I did the whole fat/flour thing, but it just didn't thicken up. Next time I make the soup, I'll skip the thickening agents.

Okay, okay.. its bread-n-Country Crock. ;) Actually, I prefer Smart Balance, but my store was out of it. http://www.cspinet.org/nah/12_01/images/smart_pic.jpg

Okay, I just realized that now that I have a camera in my snazzy new phone, this is even easier than it was before! The pics aren't quite as good, but considering I'm sitting here in low light at the computer, not too bad!!

Milk and Two-Bite Brownies (the best brownies EVER, pick them up at the super market in the bakery area)

The blueberries I got from my own backyard and their perfect, not too sweet, not too sour ....everyone that I let taste the blueberries before I used them in the pies were like "omg thats a great blueberry" the bush I have is still full. Me & my neice spent 2 hrs eating & picking and it's still full.....we're going to try to pick them all so I can freeze them for pies, pancakes,muffins & cobblers later :) I so wish I could give everyone a piece. I used a cremy blueberry pie recipe and the crumb crust makes it even yummier....creamy perfect blueberry flavor with a little crunchy to it....not hard crunchy just a little crunchy and with vanilla ice cream mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm HEAVEN!

This was an attempt at better lighting. Anyway, I always heard of "garden dogs", where you top your hot dogs with coleslaw. I was out of buns, so I had to use whole wheat bread. And it all seemed screaming for a pickle. Also, corn on the cob, just because.

Hummus, with these excellent imported grape leaves ($1.99 for six servings! The brand is Zorba) along with my beloved asparagus and a small salad topped with feta.

Are those chinese noodles in the soup? And is that squash? It looks like stuffing to me! How do you make it? And that chicken looks verrrrrrrry good!

Yes those are chow mein noodles, they were good in there too :)

The squash is the fritters recipe that someone posted on dims.. except instead of frying them in "fritters" I dump the egg/flour/squash mix in the pan and fry it up like hashbrown potatoes.

Lunchtime with grilled hot links, on a bakery bun with mayo, chowchow, and a shot of mustard. :) (Thanks Saucy!)

I've added the recipe for my chili before, but I finally had the opportunity to take pics. I apologize for what seems to be a problem with focus. I think it was a steamed up lens.

I gotta stop readiing this freakin' thread until after I get my gall bladder out!!!!!!!!!!!!!:doh: :(

[out.of.habit]

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I ended up here with it. I didn't want to steal Deidra's cake thread, and I wasn't sure it was quite food porn, but I NEEDED to share with you. I went to a wedding today (non-food photos will likely show up in appropriate threads tomorrow), and I wanted you to see this cake!

Real flowers here:

I believe what we have here is a whipped cream frosting, dark chocolate shavings with a moist moist vanilla cake, and peaches within the cream center. It wasn't something I would have chosen myself, but lovely all the same.
