professor meagain Holly Christ, we agree on something! My local meat market makes their own Kielbasa ans lightly smokes it. It is very lean and the best one could ever buy. Another meat market has the best bacon ever. They win all kinds of awards with it. Ouch, Lord's name in vain. LOL Yes, if this were a food forum we'd do much better. Hah! That's pretty funny. Food tends to bring people together.
professor PA-PLAYA Except scrapple. It's the best! Far healthier for you than bacon or sausage. Besides you can put ketchup on it, syrup, or apple butter! Yum!
sdandrea1 SWMBO is making oatmeal raisin cookies and pummelling every recipe previously posted in this thread......IMHO. Pics, soon. π
Weirfan sdandrea1 and the recipe please π Made 6 of these today, 1 to keep and 5 to deliver to friends and neighbours.....another tasty but really easy recipe
PA-PLAYA Having leftovers tonight. sdandrea1 Bringing in the heavy artillery with your wife, eh? I'd do that except my wife doesn't cook shit unless Betty Crocker prepares it. Those cookies look mighty good. Oatmeal and raisin are my favorites.
PA-PLAYA Weirfan The frozen orange vanilla pie recipe is outstanding and a keeper! Followed the directions precisely and it turned out great. My wife works out every day, runs every day, a true fitness nut. She had two slices this evening. There's no greater compliment than that. Thanks! This is how mine turned out right before I put it in the freezer to chill.
Rickochet sdandrea1 They look good but apparently stuck to the sheet since you can turn it up and they don't fall off.
sdandrea1 Rickochet Hey Steve, get your photographic shit together please. they taste just as good sideways....... π€£
garyt1957 I've done more cooking in the last couple weeks then I have in my entire life, no exaggeration, not including grilling. And surprisingly everything turned out really good. Who knew?
johnnydoom Cream sauce to go with the pre-made spinach ravioli bought from the refrigerated section at Costco today. 2 Tbls butter 2 cloves garlic crushed and chopped 2 Tbls flour 1 cup cream 1 cup milk 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for one half minute. Add flour and continue for about 3 minutes whisking constantly. Add milk and cream. Continue whisking to a light boil and the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat and whisk in grated Parmesan. Add cooked ravioli. Best thing is the sauce prep (if you grate the cheese prior to starting) takes the same amount of time as the ravioli boil. Delicious.
PA-PLAYA Gonna make this for dessert tomorrow. Another favorite. At this rate, I'm gonna put these 10 lbs I've lost back on! But I CANNOT say no to good rice pudding. Rice, egg yolk, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. (raisins can be added).
Rickochet PA-PLAYA But I CANNOT say no to good rice pudding. That reminds me of tapioca. I haven't had that since I was a kid.
PA-PLAYA PA-PLAYA The rice pudding came out fabulous and was delicious! Another easy peezy lemon squeezy recipe from Chef John below. Gotta get me some lemons and powdered sugar on the next grocery order.
garyt1957 Rice pudding was something I had no interest in. Rice in pudding? And vanilla pudding at that? Then I had a girlfriend get me to taste it. Now I love it, but the good stuff from a greek restaurant or homemade.
johnnydoom Making biscuits for breakfast. 3 Tbls. Shortening, 2 cups self rising flour, 3/4th cup of milk. Cut shortening into flour until grainy in texture. Add milk and stir just enough to get everything together. Turn out onto a board with flour on it. Press together and flatten to 3/4 inch thick or so. Cut into round using a cutter or rim of glass. Add to pan with a little melted shortening. Cook at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes. My wife likes me to slide the biscuits in the melted shortening and flip them so that the top is greased before cooking so they get crispy on the outside. I donβt recommend that step, but my wife has strange ideas of what tastes good sometimes.
