I had a bread machine years and years ago. It made decent bread, but as has already been said in this thread, it's nowhere near as good as 'real' home-baked (or store-bought artisan) bread. The buttons on the machine stopped functioning properly, so I e-wasted it. Sometimes I am nostalgic for fresh ...

Sounds delicious!

Mmmm... figs. Tonight's dinner: carne asada fresh salsa tortillas refried beans salad with romaine hearts, heirloom tomatoes, grilled radicchio (left over from last night), and roasted garlic/balsamic dressing The only thing that's missing is guacamole. I forgot to buy an avocado and just don't feel...

Family life is outstanding!! I noticed one thing about me that's changed since I became a mom... I like scary things a whole lot less than I used to. The first thing I did when that earthquake happened was scoop up my baby and hang on tight from the relative comfort of a doorway. My nerves are only ...

I'm currently making a slow-cooked chicken recipe from Everyday Mexican by Rick Bayless. It's built in layers, as follows: 1 med. onion sliced into rounds 1/4" thick 4 med. red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, sliced 1/4" thick 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced 1/4" thick 6 (recipe ca...

Hi! I hope all is well with you and yours!

Remember, we are talking about a culture of dirt poor fukking indians. These stone age fukks didn't have the time or resources to sit around trying to figure out how to make their dishes more interesting. They were just trying to keep from starving. You are a fucking ignorant moron. They were the f...

I got my IT guy looking up that conversation. Will get back to you on it. Ha... seriously?? That's funny. No big deal, I've never had anything against non-alkalized cocoa. I just don't use it in recipes that call for alkalized. However, I'm not letting you get away with telling me how I feel and mi...

I was kidding about the Sam's Choice. I was thinking of the lowest common denominator to your previous dutch processed comment after something I had posted. What comment would that be? The only reason I would recommend using dutch processed cocoa would be if a recipe specifically called for it. You...

Red Ale is on the short list of things I am going to need to have shortly after having little boy ppanther. OH how I miss beer and wine. pp, the same reason you laugh at me using Sam's Choice cocoa instead of "Dutch Processed" is where I am coming from. You're not thinking this through, In...

I don't get it. Are you still reaching, Indy?

I can't figure out exactly why this topic bothers you so much.

“First, catch yourself a lean Spaniard.” I laughed out loud right there. Entertaining read, Goobs! (and thanks for the well-wishes, and in fact the soon to be spawn-of-ppanther is indeed of the boy variety... but my husband isn't really going for the name Goober, sorry!) Indy, why would you repost ...

ppanther

When a recipe or formula is accompanied by explanation or directions, the text directions may be copyrightable, but the recipe or formula itself remains uncopyrightable. Glad to see you're up on copyright laws, Indy. By the way, your post was the worst attempt at a reach I think I've ever seen. I'd...

ppanther

Goober's right... it's actually not legal to post content from books. I'm sure I've done it before, but I dunno, maybe I've grown some ethics or something. Besides, "Soups and Stews" is a really worthwhile book to have, so buying it for this recipe would hardly be a waste. Indy, you are cl...

ppanther

I respect your opinion, pp, but putting it on spaghetti still seems somewhat, uh, sacreligious(?) Sort of like making a nice pesto and adding it to your Kraft mac and cheese - or something. Maybe if they didn't call it chili it would be OK. Or maybe the rest of us should stick to calling what *WE* ...

I've been cooking up food that makes large batches recently, storing some away in the freezer for eating after I have my baby. One of the cookbooks I like for this type of cooking is "Soups and Stews", which is one of the Best Recipe line from Cook's Illustrated. I was looking through that...

I doubt we'll be able to get away with having a birthday party for the kid once every four years, but that might not keep us from trying!

Just stopped in to say hi! Night! :D

I'm trying to think of a way to do it up with prosciutto, 'cause it seems like those flavors would go well together. Maybe steam the 'gus, chill it, and then wrap with the ham. I don't like cooking the prosciutto because then it's no longer prosciutto, IMO. I've seen lots of "recipes" for...

Could be. Due on the 5th, but could be any time. I am still hoping for the 29th and no, I will not name him shutyomouth.

Soon. Very soon.

I honestly can't imagine 8,000SF, or how much that would cost around here. There are SO MANY better ways to use money. I can't even imagine how big a family would have to be to need that kind of space. That being said... that is one sweet kitchen. I'd definitely take it in a smaller house. Unfortuna...

Wash and snap off ends. Put on rimmed baking sheet. Toss with EVOO, season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast at 400 for 12-15 minutes. Stir/toss. Roast 12 or so more minutes. HANDS DOWN the best way to make asparagus, with grilled being a close second. Additional seasonings include various dried...

I've never done it but if I did, I'd probably use Alton Brown's recipe.

Do you know why Fritos are sold in opaque bags?

ppanther

I know what Fritos are, but no they are NOT just like a regular tortilla chip! But whatever, probably tasted good. I would never have thought to put pulled pork on nachos. On my recent trip to Hawaii, I shared some nachos that had Kalua Pig on it. It was at the airport in Honolulu and I was starving...

Sounds good, but...

Fritos?

WHY?

How are you feeling pp? Much better I hope! I always put a layer of sour cream on top of cheesecake the last 15 minutes of baking. It's not the same without it. I'm feeling 90% better, which is a HUGE improvement... but I still don't feel great sometimes. I'm not having that 2nd trimester "hon...

Now I want cheesecake. I'll take a slice with ganache, please. I once made a 'plain' cheesecake recipe that had lemon zest in the batter. I don't remember how much. It didn't make it taste like lemon cheesecake, it just added this nice tart edge... delicious. That's the only suggestion I'd make... o...

Indy... I always knew Kona coffee was good... this Kona coffee in particular, from a small growing/roasting outfit in some region that starts with an H (that I can't ever remember) overlooking the Kona coast, is the best I've ever had. It's AMAZING. I've given up my caffeine moratorium in favor of h...

We just brought home some just-grown, just-picked, just-roasted coffee beans from Kona.

It's the best coffee I've ever had.

So later, I asked my mom why we don't see more good varietals of grape juice available. The answer was simple and makes perfect sense: wine makers make a LOT more money off wine than they do off grape juice. It's for the same reason you don't see non-alcoholic beer on tap at every bar. No one fucki...

Not exactly related: Once we were out at a very VERY very nice restaurant that serves the type of food that almost HAS TO go with a nice glass of wine.

On the contrary, I don't think the degree to which I am special has anything to do with any kind of coffee.
