4. An open faced sandwich

It needs a fancier name. It looked like a pregnant pizza.

I started with a large slice of sourdough onion bread.

Piled on it were bell pepper slices of various colors, baby spinach leaves, small tomato wedges and possibly other veggies all pulled out of a leftover salad. Plus a small amount of ground beef in taco sauce, a few pickled jalapeno slices and some picante sauce. It was topped with Havarti and cheddar cheeses and placed in a medium-hot oven for about ten minutes until the cheese melted and the spinach wilted.

No, it doesn't need a fancier name.

1. Zimmern impresses the hell out of me

because, like me, he doesn't drink. Unlike me, he'll try anything. Plus, he does it cold sober.

Now I've tried a wide variety of things, fried grasshoppers, rattlesnake, dog, and the list does go on for a while. I do draw the line at a few of the things he's tried, like some of the stuff he ate in the Kalahari that he pronounced utterly foul but it kept them alive. I have a few standards. They're low, but I have them.

The only thing I ever saw him spit out was durian. If the faint whiff I've had through the peel at the international market is any indication, I don't think I'd have been able to put it into my mouth in the first place.

Durian is an Asian fruit that smells like

3. In vegetarian cooking, walnuts and cheese were made for each other

and one of my favorite 10 minute meals is walnuts, broccoli, cottage cheese, and pasta. Grind some black pepper over it and it's heaven.

Here's a chili recipe, I don't see any beef in there:

2. Chili....not high test....

into which I added some whole kernel corn that I sautéed, carmelized, in a tiny bit of olive oil and thyme. Dark red kidney beans, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, garlic, onion, tomato sauce, seasonings. Thick, dark, rich and delicious. Also, homemade cornbread and my favorite drink...ice water with lemon and/or cucumber.

Corn and garbanzo beans!  YUCK!  Cucumber in a glass of water, her favorite drink.   ::)

Here's someone's experiment:

2. Veggie lo mein and ... sticky pig tails

I never had pig tails, but I thought I'd be adventurous. I simmered the tails for 3 hours yesterday in onion, ginger, cilantro, coriander, sugar, salt, & rice wine vinegar. Cooled overnight in the simmer liquid. Tonight I'll portion them into 2-inch chucks, deep fry them, and then sauce them with hoisin, oyster and soy sauces, brown sugar and chili garlic sauce.

Call it a $4 dollar experiment.

8. kidney beans, garbanzos & canned green beans

are the base. A half cup of Finely chopped onion, lots of fresh parsley and a vinaigrette, good seasons works fine. It goes together quick. The hardest part is opening the cans.

****ing garbanzo beans again.

I found a jar of Marmite in Stop & Shop today. Since I have never had it before, it was an impulse buy. What can I do with this British yeast extract?

at the bottom of the bottles of home brew in an attempt to get enough thiamine into him so he wouldn't start developing neurological problems from his alcoholism. He developed a taste for it.

Yeppers, I've heard the same from friends who've been near durian fruit. But she needs to work in some humor ... for our entertainment. Maybe she should try balut.

They must have gotten tired of eating kale.

OMG! I tried the stuff in a salad recently. I grew up on a farm and am fine with most veggies (except okra, I'm won't be diminishing the gumbo industry's supply of okra). That kale was like a near-tasteless fibrous mass that expanded in my mouth as I chewed it. Not shockingly horrible, just not something I'm eager to eat again. I don't much like iceberg lettuce (almost flavor-free water held in suspension by a little fiber), but it's easily better than kale.

The only reason I ever had kale was because the only baby spinach I could get at the store one time was mixed with kale. Kale tastes to me what I imagine eating crab grass would taste like.

Durian is one of the most vile things I've ever eaten.  It's so vile it gives me a gut ache just thinking about it.  It trascends gross and nasty foods to a whole new level.


Without hesitation, I would eat an entire plate full of brussels sprouts before taking one bite of that stuff again. 


With that said, DUmmies should love it.

Durian is an Asian fruit that smells like

“turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock”

I'd have to disagree.  Turpentine smells downright pleasant when compared to durian.  It smells like sulphur and formaldehyde to me, with a hint of fruit something-or-another added in just for laughs.

What's for Dinner, Tues., Mar. 14, 2017


Polenta with tomato sauce. It has bits of roasted veal breast in it.

I'm not sure what else. I know the RG will be cooking up something else that will be snowstorm comfort food. I may post back when I find out what it is.

We're binge watching Netflix's "Rectify" on our snow day.

For dessert, I'm making flourless carrot cake from a recipe at the NY Times.

Veal BREAST? I don't think I've ever heard of a cut of meat from any animal other than poultry referred to this way. But then again, I'm a philistine. And flourless carrot cake sounds undigestible.

1. I started making a cassoulet

I'm doing it right, using the recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, volume 1.

My wife suggested that since we will have the time, I should listen to the whole of Wagner's Ring. The problem is that I loathe Wagner (well, I like a few things, such as Siegfried's funeral music). So instead, I am listening to Mitsuko Uchida's recordings of Mozart's piano concerti (with the English Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Jeffrey Tate).

We're having reheated "Cheesy Crockpot Cowboy Casserole" tonight.  Four small/medium red potatoes; a can each of diced tomatoes, corn, kidney beans; a chopped onion; a pound of browned hamburger; 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup.  Put in the crockpot and put on high for four hours.  Take the top off after that, add 8 oz. shredded cheddar, and put the top back on.  Run another half-hour.  It's a filling dish.

From what I read, the veal breast is the cheapest, stringiest and least flavorful cut found in a young cow that was killed too soon.
