Slab o' Beef Short Ribs ?
Has anyone picked up a 'whole slab' of short ribs, or meaty ribs. Either for smoking and/or braising. Also, ever seen 'Dino Ribs' for retail ? A plate full of ribs really do make a statement.
College Park area food?
I'm surprised this thread is as long as it is, considering the subject....
GOOD store bought Steaks
If I'm not in College Park, I'm in Annapolis. That said, is there a store/market that continually offers an exceptional product. I'm eating meat less frequently these days, so if I'm going to invest my time to roast / grill / rotisserie......I want to look forward to the meal, not wonder what kid of quality am I getting this week. I guess I'm tired of wasting my $$$
Creole Seasoning
I live in College Park and wondering if anyone has picked up liquid crab boil and Creole seasoning around here. Also, any opinions on brands ? Thanks
Etouffee with dirty rice ? [Moved from New Orleans]
Would one serve dirty rice with shrimp and chicken Etouffee ? or what would be more appropriate .
Shad Roe
I wonder if you can cure/dry Shad roe like Mullet in making bottarga. Wouldn't that be a hoot !!
Corning
I finally found a bag of Morton's Tender Quick and a eye-of-round, what do I do next ?
Kent/Lynnwood area - Beef
Mom lives near Lynnwood, sister in Kent, I'm from D.C. Not impressed with the steaks at the local supermarkets, and wondering what I'm missing.
Knife sharpening
I bought a Shun from another cook for ten dollars 'cause he didn't like the handle! Sent it to the US headquarters in Oregon and they sharpened it for FREE (paid S&H). Before you give your knife up, ask HOW they sharpen it. One knife of mine awhile back (not Shun) came back with a blue hue to it, too heavy of a hand=too hot=lost temper of blade=lost edge. Risking to state the obvious, get an Arkansas stone, do not use water or vegetable oil, EVER. With a little practice....
Christmas in St. George
Will be with family in Tallahassee on the 24th and St. George Island (near Apalachicola) on the 25th. Wondering if anything special or out of the ordinary is happening around the coast.
Thanks, enjoy, and be safe
What were your last 3 cookbook purchases, part 4 [old]
Very Nice combination, buy the way. Incidentally, just found 'The silver Palate Cookbook', 2008 edition of 'Garde Manger' by the CIA, and a nice generic UK book on Thai Cooking, all at a thrift store.
grocery store rotisserie chicken
Balducci's in McLean come marinated in the box, but they can be darn tasty fresh out of the oven. Which leads me to this issue, All Fresh market Rotisserie chickens, etc.. (that I've seen )are in a rotisserie oven, but the chickens sit in a basket and go around like a farris wheel, not on a spit that actually rotates around the inside of the oven. No better than a convection oven. they won't return my calls....
Driving from Wash DC to WIlliamsburg, VA and then back to NY
Thanks for the very informative recommendation
Annapolis lunch wagons ?
I've worked at construction sites and have had many -a- fine-meal, but Annapolis certainly doesn't seem to be strict in the re-building of the corridors to the harbor, let alone regulating any 'wagons' that might pop up. I guess the absence of them speaks for them selves. Anything between Severna Park and Edgewater ?
Sea urchins and cucumber
Where to get sea urchin 'roe' (need some) and sea cucumber(never had it) around Edmonds ?
Thanks
FISH HEADS (and bones)! FRESH. (preferably sole, turbot, rockfish or snapper)
Central Market in Shoreline
Lynnwood/Edmonds local honey search
I got some at the Edmonds farmers/craft market, maybe Sat. mornings ?
Abaco sea urchin
While snorkeling at Green Turtle '04 there were hundreds/more of them, narrowly avoiding a VERY bad day. Got some great pictures tho ! Anyway, have done more research and have not found any medical issues (with the Green Sea Urchin on the Atlantic coast). Will be back this summer and plan on cracking open some and finding out what that roe is all about.
May of 2010 talked to a chef in Marsh Harbor and at Treasure Cay, and was seemingly treated with amused curiosity....
Best place to get bones for stocks near Silver Spring?
At one point, Balducci's in McLean couldn't 'give' their veal bones away
Abaco sea urchin
Has anybody eaten any sea urchin roe in the Abaco's or Bahamas ? Cooks don't seem to deal with it, are there any toxin issues ?
Scrapple
Have used Rappa, works for me ....fried in bacon fat with fresh ground pepper on top. yeh
Coffee Beans
While tasting beans from around the world and figuring out what I like, what type are used for Italian and French roasted beans ?
Jerk seasoning
Need a recipe for a (gallon) of Jerk. Something for 2 dozen chickens or whatever. I'm not satisfied with the mix that I've come up with.
