    The three year old snagged the raisins from the cabinet earlier this week and.by the time I discovered it he had eaten half of them.  
    He would love the pretzels as well.

    Small child + lots of raisins = big mess coming down the pipeline

    Two ghost chili?  That might also cause a mess down the pipe.

  • This is my fish taco recipe that i've added to the rotation. Made it a couple nights ago along to the 2002 Showbox show, it's a fun recipe. Lot of ingredients and not cheap but will feed the fam for two nights or so. Make it your own and experiment as always.

    Coleslaw:
    1 Whole Bag
    Couple teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
    2/3 Cup of mayo
    Couple teaspoons of pickle juice
    1 Tablespoon relish
    1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
    1/2 red onion
    salt
    pepper
    1/4 lime juice
    Chipotle pepper
    Carribean Jerk
    1/2 cup yogurt/garlic dressing

    Go easy on the vinegar and acid.

    Chunky Guacamole:
    2/3 avocados
    1/2 cloves garlic chopped (go easy, can overpower it)
    1 tsp garlic powder
    salt 
    pepper
    2 tomatoes chopped
    .5-1 jalapeno pepper (optional, will give it a kick)
    splash of olive oil
    1 cup cilantro
    Juice half a lime

    In a bowl mix:
     2 cups almond milk
    8 oz. sour cream
    Chipotle pepper
    adobo
    Paprika
    1/2 lime

    Another bowl:
    Half panko
    half coconut flakes
    Chipotle
    carribean jerk
    adobo
    onion powder
    Paprika

    For the fish I usually do about 1.5 lbs of cod or haddock, either works. Put the fish into the milk mixture then the panko. Really load the breadcrumb on there and into the frying pan. I use coconut oil in the pan for this dish, as it seems to be good for almost everything and compliments nicely. I guess you could bake the fish if you wanted to. Fry the fish for about 10-12 minutes on medium/medium high depending on how thick the cut is until golden brown. The coconut flakes burn easily so you have to watch it.

    Cole slaw on the bottom of the tortilla, then fish, then guac, garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice and ready to serve. Enjoy!

    We have a fish taco recipe that we do probably 3 times a month. Not as complex as that but delicious none the less and super quick and easy

    Cod/halibut/tilapia quickly covered/marinated in olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cayenne, crushed red pepper, paprika and a little bit of cumin. Cooked in frying pan until it breaks apart.

    A quick pico of onion, tomato, garlic and lime juice.

    Shredded cabbage

    pickeled jalapeños 

    flour tortillas. Not a fan of the corn guys no matter how authentic they are.

    2 poached eggs, two slices of pork roll, 2 slices of rye bread and some fresh brewed iced tea. Not a shabby breakfast

    Wish I liked them. I want to. I just find them so boring and dry. I mean they're fine and all, but I'd just prefer flour

    that said, I buy a bunch of corn tortillas from the spot in the Italian market. Cut them into 8 wedges and fry those fuckers up for fresh chips. Some good salt. It's fucking amazing

    Looking damn good!  
    The homemade tortilla chips idea has blown my mind, why did I never think of that??
    How do you fry them, pan or deep fry?  What kind of oil?  I usually have peanut oil in my fryer.

    Actually realized I had some left over corn tortillas from the other night and did a batch up to go with chili. I did pan fry with canola. Peanut works too.

    Also, for those who like to cook delicious food but don't garden like a maniac, many stores carry butternut squash all year, and sugar/pie pumpkins are only around this time of year.

    When I was a kid, my grandma would make garden-grown butternut squash pies. I still remember the first time she tricked me into eating a slice, simply saying “it’s not pumpkin but it’s a lot like a pumpkin.”  I gave it a shot because it did look exactly like a pumpkin pie, and I continuously begged her to make them from there on!

    I found a wild pear tree on my sister in law's property and I are a pear and it was delicious.
    I took one inside and she said "you are that? ew gross"

    People are stupid about food nowadays, they think of it doesn't come from a grocery store it isn't fit to eat.

    I guarantee there will be youngins out there soon who will go to someone's house and say "Ew you actually cooked food?"

    Ha.  Agree with you.  Over cooking....or cooking in general, is many times a great way to ruin a food.  I have never once made myself sick from food and I eat every clam in the bucket (even ones that don't open much) and eat em raw as well.
    Cooking pork until it is the same color all of the way through is pretty much a sin to me.
    Steak should really just be seared on the outside and warm inside.
    I have been too repeatedly that I'm "crazy for eating it that way" and I think that most people prefer flavorless shoe leather for dinner.

    Oh and chicken legs?  They are not undercooked if there is red close to the bone.  Pink doesn't mean undercooked either.
    Use a thermometer if you are concerned.  Once the temp is right you are good to enjoy.
    Never sick...not once.

    Apple crisp and brownies for dessert.
