    Way too early isn't it?  My brussel sprouts didn't mature until October.

    Ok coming from Australia who's up for some Vegemite Sandwiches :tongue: haha
    So.  What regional foods are loved in your area but have no desire anywhere else?

    I know about vegemite in Oz.  Then there's Mauby in Barbados, a horrible drink...

    Mr. JoBangles is the worth every ounce on dat ass...I speak from experience!
  • ^ They were very tasty and I think the excitement of the whole "event" made it even better. Beer, darts, that washer toss game that's like cornhole, but better...
    Washers is a construction site game, lol.  That's what you'd play when waiting...
    Such a great game!! ;) ^ Looks really good, how did you cook those brussel sprouts?
    In the cast iron skillet add thinly sliced/diced garlic, 2 tbs coconut oil and couple dashes of red pepper.  

    Cook on med heat and stir occasionally.  I like when they get browned more but I was in a rush...
    Yum.... The only way I've ever made brussel sprouts are halved, drizzled with olive oil and salt n peppa. Roasted in the oven. Delicious. Never thought of throwin them in the skillet w/ the coco oil. Definitely gonna give it a shot.
  • I tried poaching some eggs this morning...

    they arent ooached. They're cooked, just not poached. 

    First time...
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,840
    I have gotten okay at poaching eggs. I use a sauce pan so the eggs are fully submerged. I bring the water with a teaspoon of white vinegar to just starting to boil, turn it down, get the water spinning and slide the egg in. It is fairly reliable.

    I've never had a poached egg, it doesn't sound that good but I'd be willing to try.

    YOU'RE runny!

    When we were kids and I was sick or nauseous or whatever, my sister took great pleasure in describing the nastiness of runny eggs.  As an adult, I refuse to go near jiggly whites.

    F Me, holy mother of food, that meal sounds amazing.  Pork wrapped IN pork?  C'mon now.

    Doing old school Carney's burgers later.  Mmmm!

    Gotta think on my holy trinity.  It'd be more about meals than individual foods.

    I baked brownies based on a recipe from "Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar." I'm very happy with the results. I'm going to try the recipe again but switch out chocolate chips and add white chocolate chips, and switch out canola oil and add apple sauce with a reduction in sugar. Also, I will add 1/8 tsp ground ginger to brighten the chocolate. Should be good!

    Wait a minute!...you used a Vegan recipe that used Chocolate Chips?
    You bring up a good point. Some chocolate chips are vegan. I am not vegan so I didn't use that as a criteria, I just used a brand that I was familiar with. I'm looking at the ingredient list on the bag, and it looks like they are vegan, no whey and no casein. I don't see any milk powder as they are semi-sweet.

    Ok great so Vegan Chocolate Chips then?...hey as long as the Biscuits taste good that's the main thing right :tongue:

    Just starting reading this thread and perhaps this has already been covered but..... cacao is vegan. It's a plant product. If you add any dairy product you're just ruining it. Dark chocolate is the only real chocolate.

    I grew up with western NC, but have lived on the east coast for many years. I combine the two now and it is truly the best of both worlds.  Yet always with coleslaw!!!
  • Had a TOP 5 dinner last night with my bride in Charleston.  (Top 5 non-sushi)
    Gnocchi with ricotta filling
    Poached shrimp salad
    Suckling pig
    Wreckfish
    Beans & peas

    This fucking city is a food mecca
     
    Bravo FIG, bravo Charleston.

    Chicken Legs/Drums tonight.  Seems with Breasts and Thighs there are 75 ways to cook that I enjoy.

    For Drums?  If cooking indoors & avoiding frying, I bake mine & nail the fuck out of them 9/10 times using this simple method. 

    Must be sure to pat dry after rinsing -- this is key.
    Season to taste (the skin is the best part and you control how it tastes)
    Get them on racks and not directly on the hotel pan/sheet pan.
    Fat parts pointed out.
    425 until they are 185.  (I know temps are usually lower for chicken -- for drums, 185 is my goal, makes sure everything is just right.)
    'Bout 35-40 mins in my oven.

    How do you cook Chicken Legs?

    It ain't fancy, but I like extra crispy Shake n' Bake the most if cooking them in the oven. It was a fave as a kid and I see no reason not to like it now, lol. I add a fair bit of pepper and some other spices to the mix, but really, the Shake n' bake is perfectly good as it is. I think it works better than anything else to keep the chicken juicy, and I like the crispy coated skin.
    If I'm doing chicken legs on the grill I will usually just brush them with oil, skin on, and add Montreal spice or something, pepper, and then indirectly grill them on low-med for about 40 min, turning once, and 5 min at the end over high flame.
