  1. Me, too. Our Thanksgiving was ages ago. We are having similar to you - I am brasing beef in red wine et.al. for rich, luxuriant Beef Burgundy. We will have buttery whipped potatoes with sizzling mustard seeds and steamed broccoli. No dessert for us - we've been bad. To my U.S. friends, have the happiest of Thanksgivings!
  2. That is the ultimate. Actually, this is a very smart way to roast a turkey - it won't taste bacon-y but the bacon just provides fat for basting. I have done this but not in such a fancy pattern. Great way to do meatloaf and dry things such as quail, Cornish game hens...
  3. Oh, it does. Believe me. Not that I have noticed or anything...
  4. Don't you just adore GPS? What was the "bacon on a stick" like? Anything else with it? Forgot to mention that if you brush slices of bacon lightly with maple syrup and bake it becomes like bacon candy in a GOOD way.
  5. How do I love bacon? Let me count the ways... 1. As is, crispy with just a little flexibility around the edges. About 26 pieces, please. 2. In bacon jam on baguettes. Heck, straight from the jar. 3. With eggs about a billion ways including souffle, omelettes, scrambled... 4. Along with mire poix in things such as soups, stews, braised dishes...
  6. Yes, IH! I just typed that in sort of tongue-in-cheek. At our house we do not exactly plan our conversations! Anyway, more on the gluten-free compound location. What are your considerations? Mine are as follows: - warm climate (such as Croatia) - beautiful scenery (such as Croatia) - wondrous food and ingredients (such as Croatia) -...
  7. Millet Pasta with Shrimp and Creole Cream Sauce Creamed Onions (ETA I meant peas!) Homemade Pecan Cinnamon Roll Topic? After food, what's left?
  8. Tomorrow I am making: Korean Scallion Pancakes with Homemade Nuoc Cham Lemongrass Shrimp with Spicy Thai Chile Sauce Thai Mung Bean Noodles with Vegetables and Spicy Chile Sauce Topic of conversation: Food, no doubt, as usual! Hopefully I can skirt the Christmas-with-the-inlaws-issue without argument.
  9. Irish, you and I would make a great cooking team, wouldn't we? We'd scope out all the unusual cool ingredients at the specialty shops and markets (making sure they are good and expensive) and cook our little hearts out. Meals less than 3 ingredients? Heck, I know very well that both you and I can use up to 30 ingredients in a dish, let alone a meal...
  10. I will gladly come and cook for you. It is in my blood. A day without cooking to me is sheer madness. It stresses me when I cannot cook. And thanks for your generosity with offering me the main house. Can I plan the kitchen? What is my budget?
  11. That was rather humorous, wasn't it? I believe it was either 18 or 22 minutes. I washed AND dried the dishes while that stupid bread was toasting. And then probably did the laundry and got the groceries. Or maybe not...
  12. Thanks for the house with the gorgeous kitchen! Who wants to tackle this building project? Are we going to become a commune of our own? Those muffins sound delicious!
  13. Temptress! You kill me. I love good fish and chips - the real thing, not the fake insipid purchased icky commercial stuff. Oh, and did I neglect to mention my homemade tartar sauce with lots of capers? Oh, man. I almost can't stand it. The pecan rolls are good but need a couple of tweaks. At least they unroll like they should... And...
  14. I am making crispy baked fish (cod) and chips with a light batter and crispy coating. Oh, and onion rings, too. Crudites with Green Goddess dressing. Dessert? Today I made pecan cinnamon buns you ROLL out. Delicious. You can actually peel the layers apart.
  15. Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Meatballs Saffron Pilaf with Almonds Creamed Peas
  16. Vichyssoise Soup Homemade Italian Breadsticks with Fresh Green Olive Oil and Fleur de Sel
  17. Glad you found a recipe you like. My dad was a big game hunter so I was raised on elk and moose. My husband used to hunt when he had time. Sometimes I would go along with him to camp (we have a camper). I would stay in the camper and read and cook and have steaming hot chocolate ready for him when he got "home" from hunting, often with snow on the ground...
  18. Leftover roast chicken from last night but am re-purposing with almost a picatta sauce over celeriac/potato puree and steamed green beans. Add to that amazing Italian breadsticks I baked this morning that are soft on the inside with a great brown crisp crust.
  19. Have you tried any of the venison yet? If so, is it very gamey? Sometimes I find it deplorably gamey but other times it can be very good. I love good venison and one of my favourite ways to do it is to make a blackberry (or cherry or other slightly tart berry) gastrique. A loan recipe that is very good is Roasted Venison with Blackberry Sage Sauce...very...
  20. Youaretoofunnyforyourowngood!
  21. Moroccan Roasted Chicken Celeriac and Potato Puree with Scallions and Hazelnut Butter Orange Cardamom Glazed Carrots
  22. One word for an incredible dish - Jambalaya.
  23. Corn Gnocchi with White Wine and Shallot Sauce Raw Cucumber with Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette Kiwi
  24. That would just be a little snack for me - my stomach seems to be a bottomless hole!
