    In search of chef's apron

    I went searching around last year for a simple white chef's apron and the only place I found one in the major and chain retailers was Linen & Things. Macy's, Williams Sonoma, etc. all had way overpriced colored aprons. I was surprised how hard it was to find one.

    Who Likes Beer?

    I had my first Boddingtons Pub Ale in Dolserau Hall outside Dolgellau, Wales. The inn keeper apologized to me for being out of Guinness and offered up the Boddingtons as a substitute. I've been a fan of it ever since.

    How did you find DiscussCooking?

    I knew the forum existed via the Airstream Trailer Forum. Not until I cross referenced it googling pork tenderloin sandwiches did I decide to take a look.

    Regional Food

    Walleye in all its varieties of preparation is big in Minnesota. Any bar/grill/restaurant worth its salt is going to serve a fried walleye sandwich if it is offering sandwiches on its menu. Genuine wild rice soup is another strong regional dish in Minnesota. The breaded pork tenderloin...

    Cooking Culture Shock

    I didn't intend to start a Krispy Kreme or donut discussion. I had asked about Harrad's because when I was there the Krispy Kreme was brand new. The donuts they were making at the time were identical to the USA variety. The reason I asked is because Krispy Kreme over expanded in the USA and have...

    Cooking Culture Shock

    When we were in Harrod's 4 years ago they even had a Krispie Kreme donut setup. I wonder if they still have it. Harrod's was mind boggling with its food halls. Since we were tourists we mostly just gazed at the stuff and bought some tea to take home.

    December 1st dinner plans

    It snowed for the first time this year on December 1 so I made a white pizza. In anticipation I've had my handmade dough proofing in the fridge for two days. It was made from King Arthur bread dough and, little bit of high gluten, high protein wheat dough, active dry yeast, salt, sugar and extra...

    Electric oven-how to use?

    When you use the broiler you are supposed to leave the door ajar. That's what our instructions said. Also most of those stoves came with a broiler pan, a two piece pan with the bottom to catch drippings and a top that is like a slotted grill surface that nestles with the bottom pan. Basically...

    Pork fritter sandwich

    That is true. Most all Iowa "tenderloins" are cut from pork loin and not tenderloin. There are restaurants that use true tenderloins and if you look at my web site I show tutorials using both cuts of meat. The tenderloin is more tender but the difference is not all that great and the preparation...

    Favorite Christmas Carols

    Go way back to the early 50s and the advent of TV. Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians is what I most remember about Christmas music from my childhood. That and Gene Autry singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on 78 rpm vinyl records. Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians

    Thanksgiving Leftovers Pizza

    The Brie never got set out on the table and just kind of got pushed back into the back of the fridge with every guest contribution. My sister-in-law brought from Michigan a homemade Win Schuler's cheddar cheese and horse radish spread knockoff. So that is what took center stage. If you had ever...

    Thanksgiving Leftovers Pizza

    Saturday night is my pizza night and our refrigerator is crammed with Thanksgiving leftovers. The obvious idea was to use them. So I made my usual dough but this time instead of the obligatory tomato sauce I substituted the leftover turkey gravy. Then I spread about 4 oz. of sliced Brie cheese...

    OH - Cincinnati .. McCormick & Schmick's Seafood?

    A chain does not mean franchise operation. It just means more than one and growing to add more. M & S is a chain operation as they try to make them consistently the same from restaurant to restaurant. I've been to the Minneapolis restaurant several times for lunch and for dinner. I've never...

    What's Indianapolis known for, food-wise? (merged)

    Beans and cornbread were definitely a staple in Indiana. I also grew up on boiled chicken and dumplings which seemed to be a weekly Sunday dinner. That was also a different era. But you know, I am thinking the only reason anyone is asking about Indianapolis food right now is because of the...

    Deep Fryer?

    This is the stainless steel deep fryer I use for my pork tenderloin sandwiches. I bought it at Target for $59. This exact model is no longer sold there but an almost identical model is. There are several models by companies that look and work like this. It holds a gallon of oil. Don't buy those...
