The food thread

[Cal Weldon]

Well you tell S lady and the yung'un it looks good. Also tell them they can save all that time and have that slow cooked texture in less than 1 hour with InstaPot.

We also use the lesser cuts of beef as I find the flavour that much better. I just did an inside round for 24 hours in the immersion cooker and it came out perfect. Nice and rare and super juicy.

I love Yoodles, Beef Flavour.

Lights out for the "Trick-or-Treeters" around 7:00 pm -- we got about half the number as last year so gave them the big Snickers, Milky Ways and Twix.

We turned every light off at 8:05PM. Most of the cutest, smallest trick-or-treaters came between 5:45 and 6:45 when it wasn't quite completely dark. We enjoyed chatting with their chaperones & shared a bit of Napa Valley Grape Juice with them.

Thankfully the rain held off until 8pm. We don't have trick-or-treat in our complex as it's a gated community but I do like to lay out on the covered patio on the lounge chair and listen to the bombs going off. Dog loves it too.

Joined my brother and SIL in taking a 2 year old pumpkin and a 8 year old Hermione out trick or treating.

I'm on a shared driveway in back of another house on a main two lane highway, so I don't get Trick or Treaters very often. I think I have had maybe a dozen in 16 years.

I baked a beef round roast in an enamel pot with onions, jalapino and celery, served with fresh sour dough rolls, mashed potatoes, corn fritters, and fried okra for dinner. Swilled it down with Glutwein.

Fish tacos tonight. Fresh hadfock fillet oieces marinated in lime juice + zest, cilantro, oregano, chili, cumin then broiled. Served with home made pico de gallo, chipotle dour fream, and lettuce. And flour tortillas. And beer.

Why buy prefab Glühwein?

Easy enough to make yourself.

All you need is a bottle of red, stick it in a pot, add a sliced orange, a bit of honey, cinnamon stick, cloves and may be a couple or three cardamon pods.
Heat it slowly but don't boil and it's done.

Personally I slice an apple into it as well.

Sometimes I hate my gutter brain....

Now we're talkin'

Fish tacos tonight.

I still get hung up on the ground beef ones. I hope one day to bring myself around. Sounds like they were great.

Anyone see this from one of diyA's advertisers?

 

[Cal Weldon]

That's funny.

 

[phase]

Sometimes you just need some well buttered toast.

My first thought was "would it fit in my smoker?"

edit -- posting that pic might've been a mistake - all I get now is that same ad.

Yes, I probably should do that, especially since I despise premix Sangria.

I remember back in HS when a local place in Portland advertised fish tacos. I thought it was the dumbest idea ever. Whoops. I was so wrong.

Fast forward to doing grad school in San Diego. Fish tacos were a staple of my diet.

Try a circus salsa and cabbage/Cole slaw. Thank me later.

Yeah a bit of coleslaw crunch would be good, maybe napa cabbage. What is "circus salsa"?

 

[DPH]

Haha, my phone's misunderstanding for citrus salsa. Napa cabbage is an excellent choice.

Anyone has a good recipe for hot wings marinate?

I use honey, paprika, cayenne pepper, and some Mississippi hot source but the taste has touch of sourness and a bit downy. I prefer a bit more bites. I can't quite isolate which of the ingredient causes that sourness.
