I'm in an airport for dinner. Guess which one... One of my favorite restaurants is in this airport. I always get to the airport early to eat here... Cheese and onion enchiladas. Best I've ever had. CD

When I came to DC about 30 minutes ago, I got a black and white screen telling me "dicusscooking.com is verifying you are human." I've never seen that before. Is than a function of the forum, or do I need to check my MacBook for malware? CD

I finally got around to ordering a Detroit Style Pizza from Jet's Pizza. It was good, but dense. I had two squares, and it felt like I swallowed a bowling ball. CD

I got a craving for some Texas Chili. I didn't have everything in my recipe, but had enough to toss together something close. No tomatoes, and no beans (although I do sometimes use pinto beans -- but NO kidney beans, EVER). Dried chilis, toasted and ground fine for flavor. Anchos and chipotles...

I was picking up a few things and parked next to this mini airport. I don't know if this will "take off" with shoppers, but I did get to see a few launches. They don't carry much, so you won't be able to buy much more than a can of beans or a few apples. I wonder when the first one will crash...

It is five minutes into Sunday, February 25. Am I the only one who cooked anything on Saturday? I cooked a grass-fed and finished Texas ribeye sous vide, then seared it with a kitchen torch. I had some sour cream mashed taters on the side. CD

I haven't cooked or eaten dinner, yet. But I am smoking some wings (flappers only) on the ember Kettle tonight, since the weather is awesome. Just seasoned with SPG (salt, pepper and granulated garlic). I'm using hickory chunks for smoke. I smoke my wings hot and fast -- 300F. They take in a lot...

I was waiting for someone to start this thread, but we are running out of time. The game is less than 24 hours away. :ohmy: Besides some chips and other snacks, I will be frying up some chicken wings to toss in a mix of Frank's Red Hot and butter. Yep, Buffalo wings. I wonder if I'm the only...

There will be a total eclipse of the sun on April 8 in the US. Dallas is going to get 95-100% coverage. This could be the third one of my life. There is a NOAA interactive map at CNN.com. Here is a snap shot. Check it out to see if you will have the "total" experience. CD

I haven't started one of these daily menu threads in a few years, and I've got a big pot of chicken and andouille sausage gumbo on the stove. I don't have a recipe, this is something I learned to cook back in Port Arthur, and make it from memory. I can't get Tasso up here in Dallas, so I make my...

I love quiche, and yes, I am a real man. Quiche is one of those bare canvas dishes. It is basically eggs, cream, cheese and a pie crust. From there, you can do anything with it. King Chuck even had his chef's make one with beans for his coronation. So, do you like quiche? Do you make it...

I get all of my herb and pepper plants from Bonnie, and have done so for at least 20 years. Their plants are excellent. They have teamed up with "Smokin' Ed" Curry at Puckerbutt, inventor of THE Guinness Book of World Records hottest peppers, the Carolina Reaper and PepperX, to offer four of...

I knew he had health issues that led to his retirement in 2015, but did not know how bad they were. He was one of those people who will never be replaced. There will never be another drummer like Neil Peart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5RSbrerxbE And, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction...

Here is sous vide pork and apple dish. Pork tenderloin with an apple-maple syrup sauce. The seasoning for the pork was simple. Just salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary. I seasoned the meat with salt and pepper, and put it in my sous vide bag with about five sprigs of fresh rosemary from my...

Looks like our first smackdown of Winter 2019 is upon us. :ohmy: Break out your Dutch ovens, meats and potatoes. It is 90F in Dallas today, but 30-degrees cooler tomorrow. You folks up North are getting a pretty decent wallop. CD

This is a sad story. Such an avoidable situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIrgywCfBOQ CD

I like to buy fresh, local honey. They say it is good for allergies, but to me, it just tastes good. But, it will crystalize in the pantry. I use my sous vide setup decrystallize the honey. I just set the sous vide to 110F, and let the bottle of honey soak for an hour or so, and it comes...

Carli Lloyd at Eagles practice... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KW_QjfbiqA I couldn't do that if they filled the ball with helium. :lol: CD

Jim Gaffigan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdk2aI6VZf8 CD

I always check the "Manager's Special" areas at Kroger, particularly the meat department. I'm guessing other supermarket chains have a similar area, where they drastically mark down items nearing the "Sell By" dates. Sometimes there is nothing I want, even if the price is cheap. But sometimes...

There are all kinds of cooking shows on YouTube. Meat shows, vegan shows, sous vide shows, organic cooking shows -- you name it, it's out there. Speaking of "out there," there is a show called Bong Appetit. Yes, it is about cooking with cannabis. :ermm: Here is an episode that has some genuine...

I saw these at 7-Eleven, and just had to try a bag. I got the "FETTY WAP" Honey and Jalepeño chips. I gotta say, they were quite good. A nice balance of sweet and heat. I'll give them a two-thumbs-up. CD .

It was bound to happen sooner or later in America. Some nut job got a gun and shot up a food festival. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/gilroy-california-shooting-intl-hnk/index.html...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but here it is. I picked up a two pack of these OXO Greensaver Crisper Inserts, and put one in my crisper drawer in the fridge. WOW, it made a big difference, especially with quick to go bad veg like lettuce...

I just watched this Chef John video, and it looks REALLY good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSdLdq9AOb0&t=327s Link to the written recipe: https://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2019/07/bacorn.html CD
