Thanks for the ideas. By the 5 lb bag ? Hmm...they would be great done in the same pan with some dry hot wings ! Hehe...yup, salt and pepper and roasted - simple is so often the best isn't it ? I'm not going to get to these ones right away so I chucked 'em in the freezer. I think I might bbq...

Ok folks, here's one to kick around: I'm nuts about turkey and chicken necks, ever since I was a kid. My favorite part of the bird, but the oyster is a close second. Anyway, I'd like to hear how you folks prepare them. I'm looking to poach some new ideas (yup, pun intended:wink:) Usually I...

Mmmm...calamari..... I usually bread and pan fry it myself. I've always gotten the frozen 'bricks' of it. They're whole so you have to clean 'em but they are frozen on the boat. It's always been great that way - like Selkie said it ought to have a 'clean' smell, but that's true of fish in...

Chili orange basmati....that sounds good. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions. It went off pretty well - a couple hitches but all in all she enjoyed it, which was the point. When I went to harvest the zuc flowers, they had shriveled already (2 days!) and the rest weren't mature...

Thanks for the kind words and constructive ideas. I'm off to go shopping in about an hour and I think this is the plan... for starters, the egg & gorgonzola melts with pan fried zuc flowers (I've only got 6 with big enough flowers) stuffed with ricotta and herbs entree is either broiled...

Thanks for the kind words Chopstix. I like the lemon idea and that tampenade (thanks Wikipedia! :wink:) sounds good. One question with lemon in both the fish AND in the rice though: would that amount of citrus on the tongue affect how the wine tastes ? I can always do roasted herbed potatoes...

Thanks for the replies. Chef June, I tried to post a link but I can't yet, being a new member. If you look up "Nature's Choice Grilling Wraps", it'll show some hardwood ones. In Canada, there's a grocery store chain (Loblaw's) that carries them - they look like pieces of red cedar veneer that...

28 views and no suggestions ? Seriously folks, ANY ideas or thoughts are a bonus here.......

Hey everyone, Put your thinking caps on: This is my first post outside of the intro thread and I've got some pretty specific questions. It concerns an entire meal, but the entree is what I need the most help with. I'm going with either grocery-store Ahi or fresh halibut, so I figured I'd post...

Hey all, Just throwing out a big wave as the newest 'new guy'. I've always enjoyed cooking beyond just making dinner to feed myself and I'm finally at the point in my life where I can make something of a hobby out of it. Hopefully I can contribute a bit here and there but I'm really looking to...
