Recipe Request: Slow cooker pork
It will fit whole. I'm not sure what sort of cut it is--not at home right now, so can't check the packaging in the freezer.
DO == dutch oven? I can do that, too. It'll just take seasoning my dutch oven, which hasn't been used in forever.
Recipe Request: Slow cooker pork
I have a massive pork roast, and no idea how to make it juicy and tender and tasty in my slow cooker. Help, please? :)
Wild turkey or other game birds in NoVa?
Thanks guys! All this information is very helpful, and I'll probably be checking out the Eastern Market. Thank you so much :D
Wild turkey or other game birds in NoVa?
Hrm. I didn't know that. Thank you.
Do people farm venison or is it always illegal when I see it for sale?
Maybe people farm turkeys that are similar...? I dunno--what I'm looking for is the flavour of a game turkey.
Wild turkey or other game birds in NoVa?
I'm looking for leads on finding game for sale in Northern Virginia, most especially wild turkey. It's been way too long since I had a good roasted wild turkey, and my dad doesn't hunt anymore...
Favorite breakfast/lunch/snacks?
Hey guys!
I've got a newly thrilled-to-be-eating young boy and we need ideas for quick/easy breakfasts, lunches and snacks.
Some of our current favorites are:
-onion bagels with browned butter
-bacon with anything
-mac and cheese with celery salt
-apples with peanutbutter (for me, not him)
-blueberry bagel chips
-yoghurt
He's loving dairy, meat and fruits. I love dairy (and eggs), meat, and breads.
Since my brain is complete mush these days, I'm hoping other people can contribute :D
Delivery Thai in Alexandria, VA?
Does anyone know of ANY Thai places that deliver in Alexandria, VA?
At this point I think we're so desperate that the places don't even need to be all that good ;)

Thank you :) A lemon is not out of the realm of possibility, I'll pick one up today. While I did make the 'no more food!' oath, I am also not very good at keeping my oaths, and am going to have to grab an onion, some garlic, lemon and plain yoghurt ;)

I like the polenta and mushrooms idea. Also tuna, olives, fava beans and pasta . . . I may have to get some pasta. Hmm.
I'm liking the frozen broccoli steamed with olive oil, salt and cranberry Wensleydale. It works well.
The red bean buns are quite good . . . but I keep thinking they need a dipping sauce of some kind. Any ideas?
Curry is definitely in the offing.
Onions, garlic, limes and pasta are definitely good things to have on hand. I may have to break my oath and grab some--and yoghurt, too, for curry...

Oo, I like this game! I also like these recommendations. Olives, squid, cucumber and bread salad sounds quite good, too . . . any recommendations on spicings for that?

I was thinking of making durian icecream--quick way to use up the milk and frozen durian.
Yeah, the squid will definitely get tasted before use. I didn't notice that it said HOT, and the fact that it's non-refrigderated but doesn't seem to actually be /dried/ is kind of worrying to me. But it was cheap and intriguing, so I got it ;)
Potato and olives . . . hmm. Quite possibly. Although potato, beets, black rice, cucumber and mushrooms for a soup sound quite good... hmm...
Chicken sandwiches are quite likely--I also have some sliced smoked turkey that I didn't list because its intended destination /is/ sandwiches.
Late lunch in NoVA - recs please
A friend is coming out to Manassas for lunch this Saturday, around 2ish--and I don't know the area well enough to recommend where we should go. I'm definitely open to places that aren't exactly in Manassas. The only limitations I know at the moment are that Thai isn't an option.

I have a rice cooker, which is incredibly helpful. It has a timer function; I set it up at night to have steel cut oats cooked for me in the morning. It's an excellent way to wake up.
I'm not buying any more food for two weeks, so I'm hoping for some recommendations on all of this crazy stuff. Well, I'm willing to pick up, say, some garlic or some more olives or a spice or two. But I've spent way too much this week on food, and really need to eat what I have. I'm only one person, and this is a lot of food. The only things I've thought of so far are cooking jasmine rice in Lapsang souchong and breaking a quail egg over a serving. The button mushrooms are getting a bit manky, so I'll probably sautee them in butter and olive oil soon. They're great on sandwiches that way. Other than that . . . no real idea what to do.
Thoughts?
