Lexington Kentucky organic turkey
hey all-- I'm heading to Lexington for thanksgiving with the in-laws and was just told that I will be cooking the bird. Since my lexington family sticks to frozen butterballs, I was wondering if anyone knew of a local farm where I could order an organic turkey--
Brisket
I want to make a brisket for passover and I need a killer recipe--I made one a few years ago with moroccan flavors but have no clue where I found that recipe! And I'm ready to try something new--
Dim sum with the relatives today/Triple 8?
We also have a good time there--the food is good (not great) but a super fun experience--
early dinner in Astoria near Museum of Moving Image
we're heading to the Museum tomorrow and looking for an interesting dinner place, hopefully that also serves alcohol! We'll be with 2 kids--adventurous eaters BUT I can't make them walk too far! thank you--
Dim sum with the relatives today/Triple 8?
We have one more day with the Kentucky folks--so we thought we'd take them to Chinatown. We usually go to Dim Sum Go Go but I think they'd prefer the carts-- how is Triple 8 these days?

Just got a res for lunch at Momofuku Ko
I didn't realize that lunch is FIFTY dollars more then dinner! Please let me know if you guys think its worth it-- it would be tough for us to swing it but we could squeak by. How expensive is the wine pairing?

Smoked Turkey carcass
That is what I salvaged from yesterday's feast-- any ideas on what to do with it?? am afraid a turkey vegetable soup like I usually do will have too intense a smokey taste--
Need help with my ham!
I have a bone in ham from Baczynzky (East Village Meat Market--) Kurowycky used to give out a xerox explaining how to heat the ham but EVMM does not-- I seem to remember wrapping it in foil and heating at 300 for a few hours-- am I right??
John Thorne's Master recipe for Red Beans and Rice

Favorite Recipe for a 10 pound Picnic shoulder--
I have never cooked such a giant piece of meat! I am thinking of the slow roasted River Cafe version (fennel/garlic) but welcome other ideas--
A Silver Palate Lemon Chicken question:
I have made the lemon chicken recipe from the Good Times Cookbook several times, which consists of marinating chicken parts in lemon juice and then dredging them in flour and seasonings before baking them. (I think they also get sprinkled with marinade and brown sugar)-- I am seeing a new version on the internet that involves frying the chicken for 10 minutes BEFORE putting it in the oven-- is this really better? its alot more trouble--
Need the best Tgiving stuffing recipe EVER
spending Tgiving day with my food challenged in-laws (on of their many culinary atrocities is cooking the turkey 2 weeks in advance and freezing it) and this year--FINALLY-- I got asked to make the "dressing". It will never see the inside of a turkey-- need an idea for something super tasty!
I need a good Jambalaya recipe--
I found a great one on line but I can't locate now! it was an andouille and chicken. I will happily try a new one--

Fresh Cranberry beans
I bought some beautiful fresh beans at the farmer's market-- I need a good and simple (BASIC) recipe--also not sure of cooking times etc!
9 hour oven baked ribs
Kept them uncovered the whole time. When I put on the sauce I jacked oven up to 500 for 10 minutes-- finishing under the broiler would have been good too, mine is just tempermental.
9 hour oven baked ribs
Okay, I rubbed my 4 racks of st Louis ribs with a version of Bittman's rub (salt, sugar, cumin, paprika and chile powder) and then the next day put them on foil lined cookie sheets, into the oven at 180 degrees for 9 hours! sauced them a little (with bone suckin sauce) at the end and jacked up the temp to get a glaze.
They were AMAZING-- moist, incredibly flavorful-- tender but not mushy. The best ribs I have ever had.
oven baked ribs for tomorrow
okay-- you think it could take longer?
rubbing tonight!
oven baked ribs for tomorrow
okay, I have 4 racks of st louis ribs-- 10 pounds in all. I am planning on making a rub with cumin, paprika, chili powder and salt and pepper. and sugar. My question is-- should I put the rub on tonight and let it sit over night in the fridge?
tomorrow I will cook uncovered at 180 for 6 hours--- a method a friend swears by--
Favorite lamb stew recipe--on the light side!

Union square Greenmarket--need some inspiration!
I have been a greenmarket fan for a good 10 years, and now that local stuff is coming in I want to branch out and try some new vendors.
