OK. That's one I've never heard of.

Does this happen with anything else for you, or is it exclusive to crackers and tomato soup?

Not that I can think of.

I can stare at it telling myself that its soup and not cereal, but it still happens. I think its the motion of trying to collect a few oyster crackers like I'm eating Cocoa Puffs and the muscle memory flashes me back to breakfast as a kid.

I can crumble saltines into it and be fine.

Ok. I have lots of homemade veggie broth in my freezer. I usually like to try a recipe as written first before I play with it.

Mmmmm.

Eureka!!

Looking for stew meat in freezer, found a pocket of individually vacuum sealed;

gyro spiced lamb
hand made pita
kalamata olive
imported feta
tzatziki

knew I had the pita and feta, had forgotten the others.

Get some romaine and red onion for the weekend!!!

Profit.

You freeze a yogurt based dish like tzatziki? How'd the texture come out with that?

Just fine, you just have to whip it up when it thaws.

Carne asada tonight with a red chile salsa.

Never done this before, so I'm trying Cook's Illustrated's recipe from the most recent edition. Also found some unstuffed enchiladas on their website we'll try alongside: http://www.cooksillustrated.com/reci...ded-enchiladas

What is it? :hmmm:

BTW FMB, That ribeye came out great. Kid took a pic but won't send it to me.:mad:

Fried tilapia, black beans and rice, big ass hunk of onion.

Not for tonight, but since the Royals kicked ass it's 1/2 price pizza from Papa John's tomorrow. Their Chicken Cordon Blue looks good and it's $8.50 for a large.

This is the list of ingredients:

Chicken (white meat)
Spinach Alfredo Sauce
Fresh Onions
Canadian Bacon
Mozz
Parm
Asiago
Romano
Provolone
Fontina

Sounds good. I've never eaten PJ pizza.

Awesome, glad you liked it!

Tonight I made this garlicky spaghetti squash 'except I used freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. I also added some garlic butter and salt to the squash as it needed more flavor. I served it like this too. I used my refrigerated grap tomatoes. Hah! Served with pan sauteed chicken breast in olive oil and garlic. Glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Kid loved it.

Looks pretty.

I'm not a raw tomato guy, but I've read you shouldn't store tomatoes in the fridge as it permanently destroys a flavor compound or some such.

Sorry couldn't resist. :D

Those weren't raw when I got done with them. They're halved and sauteed in olive oil, garlic with fresh garlic added at the end. Then I tossed them in the squash after I add butter, garlic granules and salt to the squash.

Yeah, I mentioned looking up the point about refrigerating raw tomatoes, which I and my family have always done. I didn't quite believe it at first regarding the texture change but when I looked it up, I read it altered the flavor even.

Oops I forgot to add the "e" to "grape" tomatoes earlier in post 256! Dang!

I had planned a Japanese thinly sliced steak with soba noodles and veggies but found out this afternoon that my soba noodles are mostly wheat and the second ingredient is only buckwheat. Now I can't eat them. Anyone know if pure and just buckwheat soba are available?

What about that Asian guy here who cooks? Does he know?

I know they were cooked, the point I was making is you shouldn't refrigerate tomatoes.

Uh, okay.

Just what I've read. :shrug:

Read it today. It's gonna be a hard habit to break for me.

I refrigerate them because I like the coolness sensation of eating cold tomatoes on a salad. I personally think they taste better cold.

I love tomatoes at any temp, but warm off the vine is my favorite.

Cookin BBQ ribs on a piece of crap gas grill. (indirect heat)

Wife grilled up a pork loin. It was glorious.

Green beans
Watermelon
The last of the sweet corn :(

What's the recipe for the red chile salsa

I'll try to get it for you tonight.

cast iron pizza take #2

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Z...2B19.42.04.jpg

Hmmm, pizza in a cast iron. Who woulda though? I've done it on the grill by freezing the dough first. Otherwise, I use a pizza stone.

I had a small vegetarian pizza on a cornmeal crust yesterday for lunch. I use the freshest mozzarella I can find.

Hey, btw, I haven't forgotten your wanting my seafood gumbo recipe. I've been back posting things that are easy and quick. I used a mix of several recipes so, I got to get those altogether and typed even for myself for the future. So just a fyi, that I am not ignoring it or forgot. K?

I appreciate your feedback

:grouphug:

ROFL

Is Simply Red the same poster as Fried Meat Ball!?

We're brothers from different mothers. And he likes raw onion.

Raw onions are amazing

It's a textural thing for me.

I love onions either way, but cooked is better.

I need heat to change the texture. The flavor of onion is fine with me (though I prefer cooked to mellow the flavor).

I can't stand raw red onion. :Lin:

Love them on a burger.

Burger and pasta salad

Cheddar Goldfish burger?

Does anyone like to put potato chips on a sandwich? One of my favorite things is adding chips to the top of a sandwich, kinda squishing the bread down so it crushes the chips.

Yep!, either lays or Doritos

I'm not picky, whatever works. Fritos are good, too.

Except Pringles... Pringles are too frail to handle a sandwich.

You're a simpleton aren't ya :hmmm:

I never thought of trying to making my own bread or the idea of adding ghee to a sandwich. Something that will help spawn several types of sandwiches...

Salsa verde or jalapeno chips are my fav

Chesse Doritos or spicy nacho Doritos

These are good with a cream cheese salsa dip.

I use mission tortilla chips (strips not round) for that kinda dip.

Yes, then mix in a little habanero jelly.

Nailed it

I have something different for ya' but I just got out of a howling thunder and lightening storm waiting for it to end. Now I have to go out. Be back with it.

Is that really true? :hmmm:

I like raw onion on burgers, and raw red onion or scallions in salad. Red or white onion cooked on pizza is fine. Otherwise I like onions cooked. So I guess I like 'em both ways depending on the dish.

Where's that ribeye picture?

I said, my kid took the pic and wouldn't send it to me. Apparently her bill went up really high using too much data. See if I can cajole her.

I also sent a few of my vacation shots from June and haven't received them either. Hope she didn't delete. I needed room on my phone and my new HD did not set up an admin drive which is what my phone reads. Have to talk to my tech or go to the Mac store to sort out. Then I can take my own. Just, right now I can't get any off my phone onto my Mac. I've been sending them to her and she emails them back to me because she has a smart phone and I don't.

Ah, misunderstood - I thought your kid was just being a pain or something. :)

Out of curiosity, why not email them to yourself so you can get them on your Mac?

Hmm, I love cream cheese and jalapeno/habanero jelly, but I put it with water crackers/flatbreads/Hi-Hos, not tortilla.

Just take a slice of deer or summer sausage and spread cream cheese on it and add a jalapeño or the jelly. Voila

ROFL ROFL ROFL

I thought that said "Ho-Hos" on first read. I was like, "W. T. F.?"

Ritz might have been the more apt choice.

I've always had that stuff with Wheat Thins.

I thought you'd developed the ultimate stoner food: Ho-Hos and cream cheese and jalapeno/habanero jelly.

Better SB party staple, this or rye bread bowl with dill dip?

Well, she is sorta. Can't wait her to go back to school. So I can enjoy peace and my way again. :harumph:

Bascially, she was hit with a high bill recently. So she's been stingy. But she'll grab a shot of me mimicking Fergie singing her Lady Humps ( My Humps) song which I love to do. She sends something like that to her friends so they can all laugh.

Don't have a smart phone. Can't do it. It's an inexpensive deal I got being attached to someone else's phone. She pays for her own and will ONLY use an iphone.

I have to get this sorted out. Just haven't had the time. Wish I had a new digital Nikon. Just have my old non-digital one from the late 1980's.

Here ya' go Rob:

Bit of work but it's different. Most sandwiches are just meat, condiments and whatever you want on them. For some reason, I think you want something different. Some other things to try are changing up your condiments: liker adding garlic granules to mayo which I like. Or chili powder, garlic and chipotle into mayo. I do that when I make a Southwestern Veggie Burger but can be done for a regular burger.

Chicken strudel sandwich.
Basically a chicken sandwich in phyllo dough.

1. Sautee some onion for a few minutes; then some garlic; then add spinach and sautee until it wilts. Takes about 2 mins.
   
2. Use chopped cooked chicken and mix with swiss, or any other white cheese, salt and pepper; add some whisked egg, salt and black pepper; then mix it all up.
   
3. Place mixture between Phylo dough.
   
4. Coat one layer of dough with cooking spray ( or whatever fat you want to make it stick) and about a tablespoon of bread crumbs. Repeat 3 layers more. Press them all together.
   
5. Then place chicken, onion, spinach, cheese and egg mixture along long edge of dough with a half inch border, roll-up like a jelly roll and leave seam-side down on a baking sheet covered with spray or whatever you want so it doesn't stick. Tuck ends under.
   
6. Brush evenly with some butter and spinkle some paprika on top. Preheat oven to 375° and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

It's really good. I've never frozen it but I guess you could and then just bake 'em.

Dill dip in a landslide.

I am partial to the cream cheese/jelly concoction. It's always a winner. If I'm going with one cream cheese laden dish for my SB party; it's almost always ham/dill pickle/cream cheese pinwheels.

I could eat 70 of those things.

Yeah, I think almost everyone understands sandwich with meat + condiments + bread lol. This is what i was looking for.. i'll give it a whirl next wee, sounds good. I love me some garlic

Yes! Turkey sandwich on white bread with jalapeno krunchers.

I like regular Lay's potato chips on a pb&j sandwich.

And the older son's going off to college dinner..
