I made a flatbread pizza. It wasn't bad, but I'm hoping the sauce improves overnight in the fridge because it was a bit bland.
This is one I make often. I mash Rooster or Desiree potatoes (it would work with any potatoes with a slightly firm texture, but I prefer these two). I add French mayonnaise (yes, it does taste different from the others, but you can use your favourite mayonnaise, or even a good mustard if you don't like mayonnaise). Then I add parsley and sometimes pecan nuts that I grind (just a little bit). After that I add parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano, not the others). I usually also add diced roast chicken breast because it goes well with this mash. I also add a little bit of butter to the potatoes once they're just mashed so they're not too dry. I made it tonight but it's really for work tomorrow, I don't usually have it in the evening. It's very rich, obviously, but it tastes really nice.
Going to experiment with brown sugar bbq sauce on chicken. I mean I look at the stove and poof, food appears.
Never had it. Also I am trying to quit drinking, and the price of bourbon is kinda high. So I will take your word for it.
Cooking with booze doesn't count, most of the alcohol boils off. Unless you're the sort of chef that samples the ingredients, that is
I’m just doing a spaghetti and meatballs. (Please, nobody tell my wife the meatballs are turkey- she thinks it’s a cheat night) And I got her this new ‘rosé’ from Angry Orchard, made with supposedly rare French red flesh apples... I have no idea if it’s any good, I don’t drink.
No cooking tonight because I wasn't that hungry. I had veggies (raw green beans, red and green bell peppers, baby carrots) with homemade ranch dressing, and a mall glass of chocolate milk...which sounds weird, but it was an easy way to get some iron and calcium and vitamin D.
I soo miss chocolate milk. Sounds weird, but it isn't a thing here. You can get Nestle Milo, which is similar to Quik, but that still involves scooping powder and stirring and chunks (flavor bombs) in the mix. I just want to walk into a gas station or convenience store and buy a quart of chocolate milk, dammit.
Oh, man...Dude, the next tine you come to the States, route yourself through Burbank or LAX and get some Broguiere's chocolate milk. It's a local dairy who sells their products in glass quart bottles, and it's thick like drinkable custard or melted chocolate ice cream. It's sublime. ETA: And their eggnog at Christmas is off the charts.
Actually, that's a good point. It wouldn't taste anything like Broguiere's but would be better than Quick. Pssst! @Iain Aschendale you can even make chocolate syrup! I know there's a recipe for chocolate syrup out there, so if the raw materials for that are available... edited to replace a comma with a period to prevent comma...uh, yeah.
@Homer Potvin and @Shenanigator, I love you both, but which part of " I just want to walk into a gas station or convenience store and buy a quart of chocolate milk, dammit." wasn't clear? Asking for a friend, of course
Kay, so I asked my sister who visited Japan a few years ago about this and she was all, "Yeah, they totally have chocolate milk. I took a picture!" Why take a picture? Because it had Van Houten written on the carton. If you don't know who Leslie Van Houten is, that's probably for the best. So, hope that helps.
Manson family, right? Though for a moment I thought you meant Luann Van Houten: Which, come to think of it, was probably part of the joke on the part of the Simpsons writers.
The murder spree that changed L.A. forever. My family moved to So Cal years and years and years after it happened and it still reverberates to this day. My favorite Mexican joint has the sad distinction of being the place of Sharon Tate's last meal. People go there and order her last order. I have no idea what it is. I don't want to know. Fortunately it's famous for other things (knock you on your ass margaritas, for one) too.
Ah, Van Houten... She's half right. Van Houten is a cocoa drink, like hot chocolate, but in the cooler section. And I'm not dumping on it, it's fine as cocoa, but chocolate milk it is not. Remember when your Gran got you that superhero toy she heard you wanted?
