    My Brandywine heirlooms that take soooo long to ripen but are soooo worth it. 
    FYI I have a decent sized mitt. 
    That reminds me of an old Cheech & Chong bit.

    tempo has man-hands!

    (I trust you are male =) )

    Those are beautiful.  Are they used similarly to the red or yellow kind?  Fried?

    I've so much to learn.

    I am a man, lol.

    This particular tomato gets bigger and redder and tastes like you put salt on it.  Absolutely delicious.  I'm wondering if I can use it in a sauce?

    I've used it in Pico and salsa and it was wonderful.

    Looking for a good sauce recipe.

    Please post some as I've got a whole bunch of maters ripening that I'll need to do something with.

    Thanks!

    Yeah I don't have a good sauce recipe either.
    I wouldn't hesitate to put a Brandy in a sauce.  They aren't super meaty, but they aren't super sloppy either.

    if you have fresh basil and good fresh tomatoes, this sauce is the shit and emphasizes the tomatoes.

    Stolen from Mark Bittman, as about half of my go-to recipes are.  Love how easy/good they are.
    Making myself tonight with shrimp being added....finishing some fresh pasta in it as a request from my sister, who is visiting.

    Put chopped tomatoes (roughly 2 cups is what he calls for, I eyeball it at 3-4 tomatoes) in a bowl.  Add a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Hack up a few cloves of garlic (keep pieces large) and add.  mix the shit all up, breaking down some of the tomatoes, but leave some chunks. 

    Let it sit for a while.

    While your pasta is cooking, take a scoop of water from the pasta and add to the mixture in the bowl.  After a few minutes take the garlic chunks out. 

    Finish your pasta with the mixture, cooking the last minute.  Add a good amount of fresh basil and toss.

    Enjoy with some wine, your favorite bread

    My local italian shop where I get my fresh pasta makes killer gravy so if I want a pureed sauce, I just buy theirs.  For a rough topping (especially when mixing in shrimp) I go with the recipe above.

    Only cook book a person needs (although I have many others) and 95% of the time where I go for knowledge.  Whether you are trying new stuff all of the time or are looking to refine what you are already doing, I cannot recommend this book enough.

    I prefer the menu drawer. Less messy.

    Forced to cook now in the culinary wasteland that I now inhabit. 

    A lot of ramen noddles, eggs, cereal, sandwiches.

    Fuck recipes.

    He makes a lot of them very simple as far as ingredients and steps. 
    I know you carry a big BBQ stick -- you could just stick with that.

    I just throw a bunch of ingredients (think a chadwick-like list) into a pot or skillet, spice, and eat.

    And yeah, I grill a lot in the summer, but I consider that more recreation; cooking is work.

    I just worked all day. Why the hell do I want to come home and do more work? Next thing you know, I'll have to do those dishes.

    Fuck that noise.

    The summer Tuna run is late this year off the coast of Ireland. My local fishmonger keeps telling me any day now. I can't wait. Not many Japanese restaurants in Ireland which is great for me. My fish guy sells me huge chunks of tuna belly for around €20 (roughly $23). Nobody eats the stuff in the west of Ireland. I'd say each piece would go for $150-200 in most parts of the world. I'll post pics after my first Tuna sashimi night of the season.

    And this, my friend, is why ordering in is dear to me =)

    eddiec, yum!  I'm a sucker for tuna, whether sashimi'd or seared.

    got beef stew in the crock & that is exactly how i did it. but as some of you know, i'm a forgetful little dickhead. i don't have carrots, but i do have a packet of beef stew spices though, but forgot to add the stuff only after adding garlic sriracha powder. i figure i'll leave the beef stew seasoning out this go round. also, i meant to flour the stew beef & pan fry it a bit but don't have flour, still pan fried the meat a bit   


    celery pieces

    beef stew meat

    frozen brussel sprouts

    (skinned) potato chunks

    guess we'll see how this works out.

    dankind, that is how i make eggs. it's a flippin mess trying to be omelets

    sauteed mushrooms & onions (garlic if you like)

    if not diced up garlic bulbs, garlic powder & or garlic sriracha powder (weber brand has some nice spices)

    maybe some potato wedges in olive oil... maybe not

    ham

    grind together in a blender & present



    my absolute favorite kitchen to cook in is the outdoors whilst camping. im up only a few hours after crashing out

    when i hear the morning songbirds, woodpeckers & can start to see a bit of daylight parading through the tent, bam, i'm up. i'm alone to the quiet woods, well, except for the birds goin to town. it is beautiful & can make one emotional.


    gotta stoke the fire

    heat up the water for coffee

    drink a beer or three

    do a few shots

    (sit awhile & absorb all of it, feed the squirrels & chipmunks shell on peanuts)

    bacon or ham cast iron skillet style

    eggs... you know the ingredients


    i think i make a decent pot of chili
