What is your specialty?
« on: August 15, 2010, 06:50:23 PM »
I have a few things that everyone seems to love (or so they say. I hate having my food judged lol). But I think my best is my homemade pot pie. My husband thinks it is my lasagna, but I am going to say my pot pie.

Beef Stroganoff or Stuffed Beef Tenderloin for main course.

NY Cheesecake or Peach Cobbler for dessert.

Potato Cheese Soup or Chicken Noodle Soup for soup.

Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns for "just because".

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Mmm!! All sounds yummy--minus the chicken noodle soup. It just reminds me of being sick, which I hate because it is good.

I like paella.  I change it around and use different things, but it's usually shrimp, chicken, and sausage with lots of vegetables.

Whenever I have a "git-together"  most of my buddies crash at my house, because of the drive, and the fact they have been imbibing.

So, I will say breakfast.  All kinds, from Eggs Benedict, to Egg Casserole, to Biscuits and Sausage Gravy.

My sister's coming in from Phoenix and the thing she actually begged for was my lasagna. She claims she wants a recipe and gets frustrated when I tell her I can't give it to her because I don't measure a damned thing. I do what looks and tastes right.

I can make my own noodles, but I don't. I don't have the pasta roller/equipment and I ain't buyin' it.

I like lasagna.  The problem is it's always better on the second day and I can't wait that long.

Pot Roast. I marinate it overnight in vinegar with fresh garlic and onions bits pushed into little holes I make. Then sear it in olive oil the next day to brown it. Then I pour 2 cups of strong coffee in with 2 cups of water and simmer for 4 hours. Then I add carrots, potatos and onions for the last hour or so.

Good eats!  :drool:

With the vinegar and all, it reads more like sauerbraten than pot roast -- but even sauerbraten needs to marinade for several days, not just overnight.

It's very similar to sauerbraten, but by marinating for just 24 hours it's a bit different. And I smother it in veggies at the end. Good eats.  :cheersmate:

I took an arm roast last night before going to bed, seasoned it, dropped it in a Crockpot on top of a mirepoix bed and garlic, threw in some thyme, added a can of veggie broth, tossed in a little bit of Prego, then turned it on low.

Smelled right nice this morning at 0500! I took the bone out and taunted the dogs with it.

Lexie got it for lunch. Belle would have been pissed, but I took it from Lexie and gave it to Belle so she can gnaw on it inside her crate. There was still some marrow inside the bone.

I have cooked legs, shanks, butts, shoulders, ribs.....and none of that stuff came from bodies with arms.

That's what my slaughterhouse guy did and how he labeled the piece of meat. It's probably a leg. Had a good-sized bone in it with lots of marrow.

Baking. I can bake just about anything, plus its fun to experiment.

I'm also pretty good on the grill. Going to do a brisket soon. Looking for a good recipe though.

My signature dishes are tomato sauce, and hummous, but I think my specialty is the ability to make something edible up on the fly, given whatever happens to be on hand.

Even though I'm not Jewish, I used to date one. The woman taught me how to make the best chicken and kreplach soup.

I'd tell ya how to make it, but it requires a few bottles of Manischewitz and a bunch of gossiping harpies.

Haven't made it since we broke up, so if you ever find yourself in such a situation, give me a call. I'll bring the wine.

That is one disadvantage to living in LA...shitty kosher food...and no, while Jerry's or Junior's is okay and has huge portions, it's not the same as a honest-to-God New York deli--don't know exactly why, it just is.

Mexican food, OTOH, oh, man...I'm gonna have to make a roadie out there to visit family, just so I can fill up on some El Cholo or Paco's Tacos.
