Don.... It was an excellent choice... The grits had a cajun spice added... Creamy and delicious.... And the scallops were absolutely perfect... Everything on their menu changes daily... We've been back a few more times since... They open the doors at 8:00am and there is generally a line forming out front... For those that can't get seated right away, they provide fresh coffee for the people standing in line... It's made one of our top choices in town for a breakfast place...
Tofu is one of a few things I just haven't developed a taste for. More accurately, a mouth feel for. Like sushi, I've tried tofu several ways, and it just doesn't click with me. CD
No food should be formed into a gelatinous beige square... Jello gets a pass if it's not beige... Beige should only be reserved for Toyotas.... Funny how tofu and Toyotas are connected...:blush2:
My new favorite salad: Pick the greens of your choice (on the milder side works best). Top with Pulled Smoked Chicken, Bacon and shredded Cheese. Then mix 2:1 Ranch and a thin BBQ sauce.For the dressing.
The weather turned a little nippy today... I was given instructions by my better half to go home and make a big pot of tasty chili.... So I did.....
Is that Ohio chili? I lived in Cincinnati for a couple of years, so I've had it several times. It's different than Texas chili. I like it, but I like most chili -- as long as it isn't sweet, like bad spaghetti sauce kind of sweet. One Texas thing I really like is serving chili over some fresh homemade cornbread. CD
Actually... It's Topeka Kansas Chili..... Porubsky's in Little Russia... I grabbed the process from here... I also make his horseradish pickles to go with the chili as well... And a cold beer or two...:beer https://lowrygenealogy.com/2013/05/10/family-recipe-friday-porubskys-chili/
That's actually pretty similar to my Texas chili. Lose the sugar and Worcestershire. Down here, a lot of people don't use beans, but others (like me) use Ranch Style beans, which are pintos. Saltines are good with Texas chili, but try some cornbread, sometime. CD
I had some choice sirloin in the freezer, and some sweet peppers in the garden, and a red onion in the fridge, so I picked up some mushrooms and made some kabobs. All veggies on one skewer, and steak and onion on the other. I just drizzled them with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, then grilled them over charcoal. Nice simple, light and tasty dinner. I snapped a picture on my little Canon pocket cam, but my puter doesn't want to recognize the SD card. :incazzato: Just imagine a white bowl with chunks of grilled steak, red peppers, red onions and button mushrooms. :biggrin5: CD
I'm a mac user, but it could be the latest OS. It recognizes some SD cards, and not others. I don't use SD cards often. CD
I picked some poblanos yesterday, and tried a batch of chili relleños last night. They tasted good, but stuck to the basket in my deep fryer. I picked a few more today, with long enough stems to lower them slowly in the oil. I'm going to try another batch tonight. I'll try to snap a picture. CD
Yes, post pictures along with your preparation plans for the poblanos, we have taken to roasting them on the grill and serving with the rest of the roasted veggies as side. We try the pan fry for the chilli rellenos, I am sure they are better in a deep fryer. Hummmm. Need more counter. Don
I started by blistering my poblanos with a Searzall. http://www.bookeranddax.com/searzall/ I then stuck them in a plastic bag to sweat, so I could peel the skin off of them. I cut a slit down the side of each pepper, and removed the seeds and some of the membrane. It seems you can stuff chili relleños with anything, so I used what I had on hand. I mixed some whipped creme cheese with shredded cheddar and shredded jack cheeses. It tasted good, so that's what I stuffed my peppers with. My batter was a mixture of AP flour, a little baking powder, and a dark beer -- Shiner FM966. This time, I slowly lowered the coated peppers into the oil, and no sticking problems at all. They were very good. The peppers had some heat, but not scorching heat. They did make me sweat. They would be really good with some Texas chili spooned over them. Picture below. CD
If you pan fried them like you would with fried chicken, it should work. Getting them submerged one side at a time should be okay. But, yes, the deep fryer is the easy way. CD
