  • Thursday The 14th Valentine´s Evening - Plans for dinner for 2 ?

    Forum topic

    Good Afternoon,
    With Valentine´s Day falling on a Thursday this year, does anybody have some special home gourmet dinner in mind ? A special intimate cozy restaurant for two ? Is anybody holding off and celebrating on Friday or Saturday night instead ?
    Good question ... I am uncertain at this very moment ... However, I believe we may just have a lite bite at one of our local Taverns with a couple of rounds of wine, and hold off until Saturday evening to celebrate, as we both do have to get up quite early ...

  • HOW do i unsub from a forum thread?

    Forum topic

    There's no way to do this in email with a "stop watching this thread" like is common in phpBB. Even in the user control under "Track", an unsubscribe button would be nice. Anything?

  • Future of Restaurants

    Forum topic

    Dear Chef and Crew,
     
    I've been reading a few articles and having a few conversations with folks in the industry on this subject, and I was hoping to bring the conversation here. Where do you see restaurants going? A few factors the convos tend to consider: casualization (Momofuku, etc), Farm 2 Table/Localization, and those Post-Modernist culinary establishments ran by folks like Achatz, Blumenthal, and Adria?

    I spent some time to-day and harvested my garden crop. I have chives, flat leaf parsley and rosemary washed and hanging upside down in the basement too dry.
    I washed, dried and microwaved sage, curly parsley and basil and have them in labelled mason jars.
    My peppers and tomatoes were a let down however a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes.
    I recently downsized the garden area and may have cramped the tomatoes and peppers too close thus a low yield.

    Tonight I made a meatloaf with onion soup mix, ketchup,water, italian bread crumbs and two beaten eggs @350* for 1.15 hrs.
    Wow actually rested to 162 degrees. We had heated leftover scalloped potatoes and I had mixed vec. (carrot,cauliflower and brussel sprouts) steamed,came out perfect. When I drained and buttered the veg then plated, I salt and peppered the plates. End result was oversalted veg!!!! Other than that I was pleased with meatloaf. The veg was steamed in salted water, should that have been sufficient.

    The attempt was a scalloped potato casserole,diced chicken breast done in chicken broth and minced garlic and a slab of canned jellied cranberry.
    The casserole although cooked at 400* for 1.5 hrs. was slightly under.
    The chicken breasts were overcooked but not rubbery.
    I aced the canned cranberry slices.
    I chedked the breasts with meat thermometer but didn't check if I was C or F....duh!!!!!
    Everything was edible but I need too do better. I am very critical of myself because I see so many others doing things "perfectly"

  • we cleaned out the fridge freezer today

    Forum topic

    I won't list the entire contents but we found three soups in baggies (medium bags).
    Judy suggested I combine the three with about a cup and a half of corn.
    Split pea w/ ham,cream of cauliflower and leek and cheese.
    Wow !!! Talk about a velvety texture on the tongue. We will be having store bought
    sourdough bread with this tonight.
    I finally clarified a lb of butter and mixed with canola oil with mediocre results..
    Next on the agenda is a casserole of scalloped potatoes and a creamy macaroni.
    Only two of us so always have leftovers.

    Can anyone tell me if the FCS podcasts are different than Stella? Do I need to listen and view them to or do you reccommend it.
    Thanks, dave12345
