The war on anchovies, join the fight
A bit of your favorite hot sauce. I like Cholula. Or sriracha.
Hot Dogs, Merrimack Valley
Occasionally there is a guy outside of Building 19 in Haverhill too, but no set schedule.
Coffee and Donuts
If you don't mind the drive Heavenly Donuts (intersection of Routes 495 and 110, Methuen, is really good.great big homemade crullers and muffins and pastries turnovers to baclava. Great coffee too.
Sweet Cherry Peppers
I like them as is but a classic antipasto item in my house is...cut the top off, remove the seeds, stuff with provolone and prosciutto (either/both) or with a savory cream cheese.
Legal Sea Food raw bar
Tho it paints Legal in a good light is that a real Berkowitz production? Kinda doubtful. ive had raw oysters and cherrystones at various Legals, all impeccable but i tend to go to chestnut Hill, Burlington, and the airport rather than downtown.
The Balsams, Dixville Notch NH--WHAT HAPPENED
This is what the cntraveler web site says
"Truth in Travel is the guiding principle for all content published in Condé Nast Traveler. Other travel publications often accept free travel and accommodations. Condé Nast Traveler does not. It is independent of the travel industry. The magazine always pays its own way"
This exchange was on the board in Jan...this is probably the same rating theyre reporting on. I still wont make the 3+ hour drive up. Notanymore.
Your BEST Chicken recipes...
For parties, I marinate overnite wings/drum-ettes in (in = proportion) 1/4 good soy sauce 1/4 good balsamic vinegar 1/4 olive oil and 1/4 white wine (any) in a huge bowl overnight. Amt of marinade depends on amt of wings. Then I broil them.
Acapulco?
Is this a chain? Has anyone liked this Mex rest(in a strip mall) in Salisbury, MA (Directly on Rte 110 I think). Was going to a movie last night and for the 1st time noticed it. Thx.
Homemade Water Crackers
Does anybody have a recipe for decent, homemade water crackers (add-ins like black pepper or sesame optional)
Bottled Guinness
Cadillac Mountain, eh Findable in Bangor/Bar Harbor, right...how about York, etc Never hadit. Sounds good
The Worm
Somebody pls. answer for me:
The point of the worm in mescal bottles is?
A) No point
B) To see if drunken dopes will swallow it for a tshirt or whatever
C) Flavor?
D)Good luck?
thx.
Salt Pork
Sounds similar to how I use the s.p. to flavor vegs. This is a memory stretch, but do you remember if your grandmothers blanched/soaked it first before frying?
Salt Pork
I have a sizable chunk of salt pork sealed and in my refrigerator. Is it doable for anything other than seasoning vegs/chowder? I remember my ma had a recipe which called i think for soaking it in milk overnight then roasting like a small roast? Could be wrong. Long time ago...
How do you take your bloody mary?
That sounds really good actually...meffababe Im sure this thread will be moved to spirits can you tell me your fave vodka Your personal choice nt the customer fave. Also did you ever use horseradish
Orono, Bangor, Bar Harbor Beef
Thats good news. We have a TX roadhouse down where i live on the NH border and the ribs/steaks are great. Thanks irwin
Need some sides..................
Like the couscous idea. Maybe some roasted new potatoes with a little olive oil salt & pepper. Maybe a basket of warm bread or rolls. Some acorn squash, just with butter salt pepper.
recipes that travel house to house
Simple and quick is good as in golferb above. Maybe a pork tenderloin. Homemade calzone or thick crust pizza.
BTW pam i make lamb stew.
1 cup chicken broth 2 cups beef broth (or 3 all one kind)
3 carrots cut up , i dont scrape
3 onions cut up
3 or 4 potatoes cut up
2 pounds lamb I use shoulder chops
red pepper, salt, black pepper (maybe a 1tsp or 2 of each) and a pinch of nutmeg
Throw all in a crockpot, cook. Really good.
Good restaurants in Lowell area?
Ive eaten there prior to hockey games at the Tsongas. They are good. Had my first taste of alligator there as an app....alligator nuggets. Nice servers too.
Orono, Bangor, Bar Harbor Beef
I searched the boards but the only answer I got to this I think the place is closed, Pilot Grill. Will be in Orono this weekend (staying in Bangor) for hockey (of course) and want to know a place where I can get a great steak or prime rib. Prefer a not dressy place. Got to be somewhere better than the 99 but Ill do that if there isnt. Thx
Awesome Sushi north of Boston - what's your vote?
macca on another board some time ago recommended Haru in North Andover and its good really good. I agree w Inaka in lawrence too.
Stomach Flu--What to Drink? Nibble?
Sorry bout this flu gb, just mentioned you on another thread. Try popsicles, not the sugar free kind, the kind with sugar at least fruit sugar. others have mentioned better ideas.
looking for a few good meals ,York, maine area
i feel that pain....sometimes I figure the only way I could get into the Steakhouse without waiting an hours is the 'off season'. I know the golferbitch is a fan of Marcias Mexican in Wells rte 1. theyre year round and tasty I just tried their pork fajitas last weekend.
Slicing fruit
Little (zero) experience with mangoes but much with avocados. What I do is slice the avocado once down the stem line the vertical circumference if thats a phrase. You can 'feel' how deep to slice. Once youve sliced it give each half a slight twist and the halves will separate with the stone clinging in one. Scoop that out and youre good. This is much easier with ripe avocados btw
Got help w/PotRoast, onto Bean Dip
Maybe garlicky I dont remember horseradishy so if it was not very Definite "tang" tho..
Got help w/PotRoast, onto Bean Dip
as a kid my aunt served this bean dip It was not like onion dip or refried beans-texture, it was more "loose" w/ whole red kidney beans. Sort of the consistency of large curd cottagecheese maybe more liquidy. Remember it as pinkish color, could be wrong, but it was really good on toasted bread/crackers. Sound familiar to anyone? Recipes?
Is it wrong for a grown man to crave crunchy cheetos? What junkfood do you crave?
Not really a food but at the moment I'm craving either a Spicy Hot V8 or a Clamato Juice.
(& yeah the blood pressures fine)
Great BBQ @ Yankee Smokehouse, Ossippee, NH
Great indeed. Once on a frugal day i made a meal of their cornbread and bbq beans. Mmm.
