  • Wierd Al fucking rules, can't wait to see that one!

    Beef Cheek Ragu?  Sounds great! 

    Turkeys -- so how are people preparing their Turkeys for Christmas?

    Going to do a dry brine this year -- I really love it when tried on chickens so am imagining the same success w/Turkey.  Kosher salt on/under skin - lots of it.  2-3 days in the fridge.  Roast in the oven.

    Haven’t tried a dry brine yet. Gotta try it on some chicken. 
  • A chicken you can leave in the fridge for 24 hours.  Don't cover it up and the skin will be ridiculous.  (So good!)

    Finding it hard to find preserved lemons anywhere. Need them for a Moroccan tagine dish.
    I can find them locally at a few specialty markets (Sur La Table, William Sonoma, and World Market), as well as a few specialty grocery stores. They can also be ordered on Amazon. Can you order them from Amazon in AUS?
    If not, you can make them if you have a month before you need to use them. Here's a recipe from Epicurious I've used a couple of times:

    We go spiral ham instead of turkey; it is so much easier to cook and much tastier.  Happy holidays everyone!

  • I like a turkey much better than Ham, although some hams are damn tasty.  Enjoy it!

    I did a dry brine on the Thanksgiving turkey with lots of kosher salt, lemon zest, and fresh rosemary. 3 days in the fridge (2 days covered with plastic wrap, 1 day uncovered). Turned out great.

  • That sounds good as well!

    In my book Classic American comfort food has to include Mac and cheese or pastina if you have Italian roots. 
    I didn’t know what the Fuck pastina was until I had a daughter and the wife’s family has her eat it basically daily

    I had zero clue what pastina was until I started dating my wife.  I had a terrible virus this past Monday and felt much better after a bowl of pastina with some pecorino/Romano.  Instead of water we boil it in chicken stock to add some flavor.

    There you go.  Yeah, I do rice with stock from time to time depending on how it's being used.  Pastina is a good call for stock though.

    I like most cabbages... Brussels sprouts just aren't one of them.  Sauerkraut is disgusting also, may as well get that out of the way lol.

    @HesCalledDyer
    I watched the Wierd Al ep....not bad.  More vegan wings and a person just tasting.
    For grins I looked at his local stop in Philly - for July.  Already sold out for VIP and down to singles only.
    Really?
    Good for him, would not have guessed.

    Has anyone eaten vegan chicken wings?  Curious as to what the fuck they are/taste like

    Beef rib roast?  Anyone do them?

    If so, talk to me.  Bone in or no?  I want bone in, but what happens when you cut it. Not everyone is going to want a gigantic ribeye. Can it be cut and more or less deboned after cooking?
  • Have not played around with that -- let us know how you end up doing it

  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,840
    From research, looks like there are a number of ways to carve, so I can cut a few bones off if people want it that way or do this

  • jeffbrjeffbr Posts: 7,177
    For roasting, definitely bone-on. Otherwise it isn't prime rib, lol. It's an eye of rib roast.
    I grew up with my dad carving the prime rib the way shown above so that's what I do. He'd then take the bones he carved off, slather them in a dijon mustard sauce, and throw them under the broiler for a few minutes. That was always a treat. An appetizer while the roast rested.
