    Portabellas and peach?  What an interesting fusion.

    Little fish taco action tonight. Cod with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cayenne and some crushed red pepper. 

    Little cabbage, tomato and picketed jalapeño on them.

    they are pretty good. A weekday staple here.

    Did a little experiment tonight; made a "breakfast" burger for dinner.  1/3 lb patty made up 2 parts 85/15 beef to 1 part pork sausage, bacon, cheese, & over easy egg on a toasted kaiser roll with a dab of mayo on the heel & butter on the crown.  Grated a potato and made hash browns for a side. I'm sure my cholesterol is about 300 right now but damn that shit was good!

    A fried egg on a burger is always delicious! I think it's a highly underrated burger ingredient.

    Stir fry.
    Chinese yard long beans, yellow squash, Carmen and Thai peppers, green cabbage and onion.  All from the garden of course.
    Sauce is brown sugar and soy sauce with fish sauce, garlic, chili paste, salt and ginger.  A typical Asian style sauce, sweet and hot and savory.
    Yum.

    Too bad I can't grow rice lol

    Leftover turkey stew. Better on day 2.

  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    Half a dozen eggs lightly scrambled as well.  With the temperature very moderate here the girls are laying at peak capacity, an egg per day each for 6 days in a row now.

    made a pot of chili today. one can of black beans, one can of kidney beans, two cans of chili pinto beans & one can of chili starter bean mix. i like bush's beans. one day i'll use dry beans & soak them... until then, i like bush's. a good pound of 80/20 burger, one garden grown tomato given to us, about a 1/3 of a onion & a good splashing of el yucateco black habanero sauce. it's not hot chili, just quite tasty. add your frank's redhot sauce, whatever cheese is favored & or a nice dallop of sour cream if so inclined.

    This sounds good but definitely give dry beans A try sometime. They are great. Not a bad little recipe you got going there though

    i've soaked beans before when i was younger, like when mom was showing me how to cook. they do have a different taste & texture for sure. they seem to have a cleaner taste... less sodium & such. i'll give it a go here soon. now i'm excited about soaking beans

    cooking is quite enjoyable most of the time except when feeling like dog crap, then cooking sucks. i've so many things i wanna cook. i'll give a quick (off the top of my head) list:


    i wanna bake:

    bread

    pies

    cakes

    cinnamon & pecan rolls

    cookies

    edit - & biscuits  


    bbq & or smoked to perfection:

    beef brisket

    one whole pig

    & several other meaty things but (currently) i don't remember what they're called


    i think i'd like to deep fry a turkey


    the old man (rip) made a perfect pot of oyster stew every year for christmas. no matter what i do, it is not the same & it bums me out

  • ^ I've tried it with equal parts grape jelly and plain yellow mustard. It was years ago, but I remember it being tasty.
  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    This is the first time I've tried the yardlong beans, I'm sold 100%.
    They take time growing long first before filling, so you have a bigger picking window which is the issue I run into with bush and pole beans.

    Yeah, I've had a fried egg on sandwiches (usually Primanti Bros style) but never tried it on a burger.  Seen it done, just haven't done it myself.  Figured since I had all the other breakfast ingredients, why not try it out?  The beef/sausage combo patty really set it off.  The bacon may have been a bit much.  Maybe I'll try a fried green tomato next time in place of it.

    Is it Portugal that does the egg on everything?  Some culture does it.
    Yep, it's Portugal. And everything is not an exaggeration.

    I've had the crockpot lil smokies before and, yes, they are good.  I've never made them but I have done crockpot meatballs with jelly.  I don't use grape jelly though.  Barbecue sauce as a base (Sweet Baby Ray's sweet n spicy), a small jar of apple or red currant jelly, and a tablespoon or two of hot pepper jelly.  I'll throw in chopped green chilis and some spices as well.

    Have some ghost peppers finally growing.  What should I do with these little bastards?  Just dry them?  Do a little ghost pepper oil infusion?
  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    Ghost peppers make a great hot bbq sauce!  Hawaiian style with ghost peppers?  Yes please.

    Anybody have any ideas for deviled eggs? 
    I'll make some normal ones, and some with hot peppers and vinegar, what else?
    I've got 2 dozen eggs old enough to boil and a campfire party this weekend.

    Love this bbq sauce idea.  I have an awesome bbq sauce that I make as it is, and I think I'll make that and just substitute the crushed red pepper with a ghost pepper.  Boom.  Let that fucker simmer for a couple hours, strain, then use all the goodies (onion, garlic, ghost pepper now) on top of a burger or something.

    The wife does our deviled eggs.  Love them, but I am no help here.

    I'll speak for the deep fried turkey.

    So living in Louisiana I was asked to a buddys house for turkey day.  He told me he's having a fried turkey delivered.  My response was "these damn southerners will fry anything!"

    I was hesitant but said I'd try it.  Also told my buddy about making turkey salad afterwards for sandwiches.  He was excited about that.

    Then I try it.  

    Juiciest and best tasting turkey I've ever had.  Informed my buddy that making this into turkey salad would be blasphemous.   He splurged on the turkey and got it "injected" with juices too.

    Since that day I've helped fry turkeys.

    Fry it 1 minute for every pound and don't skimp on the oil.  100% peanut oil.

    Enjoy
