    Creole Seasoning

    It's been a long time since I came here, so I wanted to make sure I shared with you one of the best things I've found since I last posted. Creole Seasoning a la Gumbopages.com I started cooking gumbo (and have come up with some killer recipes, as well as some interesting alternative...

    ISO Beef stew recipe

    For a ridiculously simple beef stew, I like to mix a family size can of Cream of Mushroom, a normal size can of Cream of Chicken (both undiluted), a whole bunch of pressed garlic and about a pound and a half of chuck roast (trimmed but not cut) and let the whole thing go in the crockpot on low...

    Have you exercised today? Accountability thread

    Haven't exercised since I stopped going to my muay thai gym... that was months ago. -_- Just some food for thought -- exercising more than 4 days a week is usually counterproductive, as your body doesn't have time to heal, assuming you're getting a good workout. Also, weight loss is 80% diet...

    Alcoholism.

    HB, a lot of that is certainly true, but it seems a little presumptuous to tell him to abandon this person whom he considers a friend without knowing more than you've read in a thread on the internet. Aside from that... Corey, it's very cool that you're trying to help him, but HB seems to know...

    Tonight Dinner

    We just tried out Bahama Breeze... I had a jerk chicken pasta in a parmesan herb sauce with onions and asparagus. Very good stuff!

    The Salsa Drink!

    Vodka could work... perhaps vodka, a dash of tomato juice, something lemon-lime for body (Squirt or something similar), then liquefy a bit of onion, garlic, cilantro and pepper? I think it'd be better without the tomato juice, but then, I'm not a fan of tomato juice.

    Dinner Party and Pet Disasters

    Well, not with my current dog... our apartment wasn't and our condo isn't big enough for him to get himself into any real culinary trouble. :lol: My parents' dog, though... well, the best one was when my dad and I had made a raspberry pie and left it to cool on the kitchen counter while we went...

    Vietnamese Eggrolls

    Haha... so as I'm mixing this up... wow, I can't believe I forgot soy sauce. Cooking wine, too. :lol: Making a half batch tonight -- the mix smells GREAT, and a lot better and more subtle than I remember, so I'm thinking I remembered it better this time than the last few times I made it.

    Vietnamese Eggrolls

    THAT's what I forgot! Add 1-2 C hydrated cellophane noodles/bean threads, cut (kitchen shears work best) into 1" lengths while mixing ingredients.

    Dinner, Saturday, 08/12?

    Hm... I had a turkey frank on a piece of bread, two bottles of beer and a little handi-snack chocolate pudding cup. :lol:

    Vietnamese Eggrolls

    hehe, you bet! They're VERY good. Just make sure not to cook them too quickly, otherwise you end up with burned outer skin, uncooked inner skin and lots of raw pork. ;)

    Woohoo!

    I believe I did, in the homemade salsas thread. ;) There are plenty of places in Orlando, yes, but I list that as my location because everyone knows it... I'm actually in a northern suburb, where the traffic is horrible and there isn't much at all around. Now I have a place I can get to in...

    Smoker Question

    Of course, if you were a boy scout and tried to start a fire with wet wood, you probably didn't get your merit badge, either. ;)

    Woohoo!

    I just found out the Publix here (we just moved) has bulk habaneros! It's been about a year since I had a grocery store close by that even had them, let alone sold them loose. Sweeeet, it's SALSA TIME! XD
