Food for the Playa! Only complaint I have with the site is that the recipes are in .doc format. Some of them look good, others not so, but all seem to be eatable.

Really good chocolate pudding cake - Home Cooking - Chowhound

Tried making this for desert tonight. Difference was no milk (used water instead as we were almost out of milk), no nuts, as we were out of brown sugar used regular sugar, and added an egg. Next time will add just a touch more salt and try it with milk. Over all very good.

mix:
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cocoa

stir in:
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Spread in 9″ square pan.

mix and sprinkle on top:
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa

pour over:
1-3/4 cups boiling water

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Chicken, potato, carrot and onion bake - Dave style

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Start with enough peeled, sliced pototoes to fill the bottom of the pan an inch or so deep.
Cut up enough carrots to make a layer and about the same with onions.
Pour a bit of oil (of your choice) over this mix.
Add a couple of spoon fulls of curshed/chopped garlic.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, rubbed sage, thyme, basil and crushed chilli peppers and mix till everything is coated well.
Add salt, pepper, oregano and thyme to the skinned chicken and lay on top of the veggie mix.
Lay strips of thick cut bacon on top of the chicken with an inch or less between strips.
Cover with aluminum foil or a tight fitting lid.
Bake for an hour at 450 F then cut back to 375 F for another 30 minutes and check. Usually another 30 to 45 minutes will see it well done.
Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes or so still covered, serve and eat.

Be careful when removing foil to check or serve, the steam can cause severe burns.

You may want to add between a half a cup and a cup of (your choice) wine to this before mixing the veggies. The pan I have cooking now got about a cup of White Zinfandel. I’ve also used a cup or so of beer instead. Nothing is critical/sacred here. It’s all good!
Enjoy!

Interesting sounding recipe. Will have to try it soon. May make some changes but the cornmeal sounds like a good idea. Bet they stay softer than straight flour sugar butter cookies.

Best Deviled Eggs Recipe

Best Deviled Eggs Recipe

Won’t say it’s the best I ever used but not bad.  The batch I made for the family Christmas dinner used chopped dill pickles with a bit of the juice and no horseradish. Reproduced here to get rid of all the damn ads.

Far from the bland deviled eggs you find at some parties and family gatherings, these deviled eggs are full of flavor and texture. Do take a few extra minutes to add a little garnish so they look as impressive as they taste. Great for low-carb diets.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 2 Tbsp minced sweet onion
  • 2 tsp sweet pickle relish, minced
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp creamed horseradish sauce (found in deli section)
  • 2 tsp yellow mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Garnishes: paprika, olives, chives, parsley, and/or pimento

PREPARATION:

Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove egg yolks to a bowl, and set egg whites aside. Mash the egg yolks until crumbly. Add sweet onion, pickle relish, mayonnaise, horseradish sauce, mustard, and salt to taste.

Mix until well-combined.

Pipe or spoon into egg white halves. Garnish with paprika, olives, chives, parsley, and/or pimento. Chill before serving.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Tastebud Chicago: How to Cook a Steak

Linked to this page the other day but have to do so again after trying this out with a should have been tough shoulder steak.  Did nothing different other than to add a bit of Adolphs meat tenderizer before the salt, pepper and olive oil.  After adding the meat tenderizer (msg free) to both sides of the meat, I let it sit for about 5 minutes then added the salt, pepper and rubbed olive oil into it all on both sides of the meat.  Used a regular meat themometer, instead of the fancy digital remote they recomend, and at 150 F took the meat out of the oven.

Added a bit (quarter cup I guess) of water to the sauce after cooking it all for a few minutes.  This helped to break the hard crust up and softened the dried onion bits and chives I used instead of fresh scallions.

Was wonderful!  Tender, moist, and as flavorful as the last t-bone I had at a restaurent and paid much more for.  This one was $4.18 + tax and it fed the both of us to over full.  Good stuff!  A five star recipe!

Sounds good.  Will have to try this sometime soon when I have the mud oven fired up.  Should be able to do the simering in there and the searing with the coals left after firing.

Bits and pieces. So much to learn about a (seemingly) simple process…

My starter does have the brown water on it so must be close anyway.  Wondering if I should use milk the next time.  Some say to and some say not to…

Jeff Varasano’s NY Pizza Recipe

This dude has a serious pizza jones!  And I salute him for it.  Am going to try again soon in my mud/brick oven.  Last time I didn’t get the floor hot enough and they kept sticking.  The pieces that made it out were good but just not what I was looking for.  May try a bit of coal next time to increase the heat.  Though I was cooking loaves of bread in about 5 minutes last night after doing a stir and sweat number on the coals that were left after the fire was mostly out.  Kept moving them around for a half hour or so which got the floor just about right for the bread so maybe that is what I need to do for the pizzas too.
