LadyCrimson Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 ...I've had some "Chinese jalapeno chicken" that definitely had too much "pepper." I'm very tolerant of jalapeno's and some hot sauces but even I was picking half of these out so my insides wouldn't be burning holes re: the amount ingested. Black pepper ... generally on a steak or something tho you can crust the whole thing with black pepper or whatever and it's fine. Red pepper "flakes", jalapeno's are usually what I use - I like them best w/stir frying and soy sauce based sauces, mostly. Habanero's and the like can just stay out of my kitchen outside of a dash of some sauce maybe. All this talk of pepper - I now want some "street tacos." “Things are as they are.

BruceVC Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Apparently our next wave is imminent and since we basically have no vaccines its advisable to not go out soooooo....its the weekend and I am treating myself to a mini-pork belly with mash for dinner During this invidious lockdown I get by on the small pleasures in life....thank goodness for mini-pork belly !!! 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

BruceVC Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 I am making my own hashbrowns for breakfast instead of buying frozen ones, its an easy recipe.

BruceVC Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) I was just pondering how their cant be a much better gastronomic smell than bacon, frying in a pan ....and you have that unctuous aroma wafting through the kitchen.....delicious !!! And some people dont eat bacon....why deny yourself that great treat ?

Gorth Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Tried my hand at green curry chicken. I should probably get myself small kitchen scale for weighing stuff. The eggplant didn't feel very heavy in my hand, but it sure was a lot of eggplant once I was done slicing it into little cubes It did taste great though. Like the Massaman, I cheated and bought a paste with the spice mix already prepared. It may not be bacon, but curry and coconut milk on the stove isn't bad either when it comes to fragrances 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I always learn from similar endeavors and then fix it for the next time I cook the dish Also I am not an instinctive cook meaning I am not good at guessing measurements and quantities and if I dont follow the recipe properly its normally not how I wanted it So invest in a kitchen scale, I have one and its worth it to avoid having to guess quantity and amounts.

I highly recommend it I've been on a major hummus kick but last night I made some chicken thighs with cream of mushroom soup. It's a cheap recipe my mom used to make for me when I was a kid where you season and pan fry the chicken thighs until the skin crisps up nicely then dump that into a baking pan and pour in the cream of mushroom soup and bake for a bit. I made rice to eat it with but I much prefer generic US white bread like god intended. My son loved it but my wife not so much. She has a thing about pre-made soups and basically anything that comes in a can so this was never going to be a winner for her.

Gromnir Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 our grandma (maternal side) made something she called pittsburgh lasagna. grandma said it were s'posed to include sausage but she used cooked chicken (diced) 'cause that were what she typical had available. remaining ingredients: mozzarella, parmesan and ricotta, 1 egg, a package o' frozen spinach, lasagna noodles, milk and a couple cans o' cream of mushroom soup. the egg, thawed and drained (extreme drained... dry as possible w/o using oven) spinach and ricotta got combined, milk and soup were combined. take a casserole dish and layer some o' the soup+ milk, then noodles, then half o' the spinach and ricotta mixture, then chicken (or sausage), then mozzarella. repeat layers leaving last o' the soup and the parmesan for last layer. have no idea what were the measurements. we got a ridiculous good memory, but grandma didn't measure, so... has been many years since we had that casserole. the (not) lasagna were delicious.

Amentep Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 We never really had cream of mushroom soup growing up - my mom didn't like mushrooms and didn't like cream soups. But we always had Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup on hand. My mom was big believer in the healing powers of Chicken Soup. Thankfully, I liked Chicken Noodle soup. I cannot - yet I must.

But Keyrock dont Polish people like soup and dont you have one or 2 famous broths ? I am not sure if you remember but I was friends with several Polish people when I lived in JHB, we even went to that Polish\Afrikaans wedding. My friend who got married, Alicja, use to have dinner parties at her house where she cooked traditional Polish food....its was great big portions and very meaty, some of my favorite things about gastronomy 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Cambell's condensed mushroom soup - like many of their condensed soups - goop-plopped into a bowl with water and just heated up as soup .... is disgusting. Which is why most people use them as marinades/sauce mixers, not soups. I've had restaurant mushroom soups (not just creamy ones) that are good - assuming one likes mushroom flavors - but that's a whole different thing.
