I'm getting hungry just looking at that.

In the first photo with broccoli, is that a giant scallion/green onion or a small leek? What are the long, skinny rectangles in the next photo? Bamboo shoot?

mornin' tax!yep it's a giant spring onion/scallion/green onion...a rose by any other name etc eh?!now that the salad growing season is well & truly over,this side of the pond,they are mostly egyptian imports.really sweet,'cos of the sun i guess.the matchsticks are just the ginger peeled & julienned.sometimes i just run everything over my mandolin to get wafers.just depends on the texture i want in the dish.with it being all seafood,i like the contrasting crunch of the ginger matchsticks.

Dang, Harry...you shore do make them thar viddles purdy! (Texan to English translation: "I say, good Sir, you certainly prepare wonderfully beautiful food" )

We had an ice storm last week in Dallas, which pretty much shut down the city for the better part of the week. I made some bread bowls from my baguette recipe, and filled them with broccoli, cheese and chicken soup. Great for a cold -6C day

I like the bowls Macgyver!

Here's a little collage I made of some stuff I cooked in the last couple of weeks:

1. Roasted chicken, and my own creation "Alfredo potatoes"...augratin potates, but with alfredo sauce instead of a traditional cheese sauce.

2. Banana Bread

3. Slow smoked chicken and sausage. Man...was that chicken juicy. Brining makes all the difference in the world.

4. Brownies and corn pudding (a traditional southern dish that's savory, not sweet)

5. "Crash" potatoes

6. and my first attempt at drop biscuits. This is where I learned baking powder can loose it's power over time. They didn't rise like they should have, and I hadn't perfected the cooking time, so they are a little blonde.

I just realized all my food is some shade of beige.

Browning a pot roast in my cherished 100 year old cast iron skillet. 10,000 chickens have been fried in that bad boy. Just look at that wonderful seasoning on it. Man...if that pan could talk...it have some stories to tell.

...then into the crock pot...to slow cook it until fork tender. Will serve with carrots, onions and potatoes....and a salad.

i've tried addie,ohhhh how i've tried.you know what a trying person i am!!

 

[Macgyver1968]

Addie,

I went with the half butter/half shortening combo for the snickerdoodles. I'm currently having to wield my shotgun to keep the family from eating them before they get packaged up.

Oh shoot...guess I'll have to make more. I HATE having too many homemade cookies in the house!! NOT!!! I'm going to make another double recipe of the chocolate/chocolate chip...because they were "make the pope curse" good....insanely good.
