slap-pop-karl Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Which beans, Karl? Well, my mum used kidney beans, the beans they use in baked beans but she found them with out the sauce, runner beans not when they are in the pod obviously and butter beans. She put some veg in it like carrots onions and peppers with a spicy sauce. Put it in torteaa (can't spell it) wraps. Went down a treat. Okay I got my hair cut!

jlrush Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Sounds good Karl, I like tortillas. My wife makes a killer Chocolate Walnut Pie. It's similar to pecan pie, but with walnuts and chocolate chips. Mmmm, Mmmmm. Her cooking skills amaze me. I'll look around the kitchen and think there's nothing to eat, and she can find something to throw together in 30 minutes that tastes great. How do they do that? I'm not a bad cook mind you. I can cook alot of standard dishes and they're good. I have a potatoes and hot links recipe that's killer, and of course I do the grilling, Oh,hoh,hoh, (a little Tim Allen there) but she can make a good meal out of nothing.

ZZ Thorn Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Just want to say I started looking forward to Thanksgiving in June. I'm getting pretty pumped about it. I never reached my goal of eating 4 full plates and half a pie in one Turkey Day sitting. What can I say? I don't even think I can reach it this year. Maybe I should have a goal of 3 full plates and a whole pie? Only 2+ months away.... http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky McDougall Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Or.................The real one 1 part fresh squeezed small Mexican limes. 3 parts "Herradura" Tequilla 2 parts "Cointreu" orange liquor Shake with ice, strain and drink from a salt rimmed "Margarita" glass. This is the original "Margarita" reciepe develped by Margarita Sames in Acapulco Mexico in 1947. I know it to be accurate because she was a very close friend and I mixed them for her at some of her many private parties under her supevision.

ZZ Thorn Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 ZZ: Power eating? Are you a huge guy or a tiny guy like that hot dog eating champ? LOL! Thanksgiving is definitely all about power eating for me. It's by far my favorite holiday. I'm not huge or tiny - 6 foot 2, 190 lbs. I can't pack it away like when I was younger, that's for sure. I'm thinking 3 plates, half a cherry pie and half a pecan pie (and I don't see how some of those can't be a la mode). 3 plates doesn't even seem like much of a goal but I keep failing at 4 plates so I guess have to scale back my goals. Maybe I just need more training. Rocky did you really know the original Margarita? That's a trip.

Phil W Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Oh yeah - Puy lentils, black eyed peas, chick peas, adzuki beans (they're great), all the Indian dhals - masoor, urad, etc. KIdney beans are good with stacks of garlic. Hey, they opened a 'Humus Bar' near me - we should go there, Tim. http://www.hbros.co.uk/ Oh yeah, the Mexicans and Brazilians do good things with pulses too.

Phil W Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Yes! Decent Mexican food has finally arrived in London. Recently there have been a few signs of its emergence: Mucho Mas (2/10) Mestizo (4/10) and Taqueria (excellent home made tortillas and authentic Cuban food - but so far away - 7/10) I finally went to a London Mexican restaurant I could recommend. To anyone. Wahaca (Oaxaca) in Covent Garden serves great Mexican street food. The prices are low and the food is excellent. There is an open kitchen and you can even see into the food store from the restaurant. Tacos, Tostadas, a great range of stuffed quesadillas and burritos. Lots of fish options. Freshly made Aqua Fresca, only 1.25 for a big old glass. Only the righteous Belu for mineral water. Loads of Tequilas and cocktails. Great salsas. Some of the chips were a little below par - that's the only fault I could find. Great service. Oh, and as we left we were given what we thought were the standard retro restaurant bookmatches - only to discover they were actually small containers of jalapeno seeds to plant. Oh, and they make a point of using local and free range produce. Wonderful! http://www.wahaca.co.uk/ http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 And some great frijoles! Here's the menu http://www.wahaca.co.uk/assets/WAHACA_MAIN_MENU.pdf http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzo9247 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ok, since we don't have a 'Drink' thread, I decided to post this on the 'Food' one. Here it goes. In my undending quest to be cool , I have been dabbling in drinking various cocktails when I go out to dinner/bars/lounges etc. and never really found one I liked until recently, and now it has become my all-time favorite. It is a Harvey Wallbanger. I am not sure of how many of you guys are familiar with this drink, as it peaked in popularity during the 70's and subsequently died out. The ingredients are: -6 parts orange juice -3 parts Vodka (your choice) -1 part Vanilla Galliano Mix the vodka and orange juice in the glass, then float the Vanilla Galliano on top. Garnish (w/ and orange slice or cherry) and serve. It is a very tasty drink and you look supremely cool drinking it. Try one for yourself, but I am taking the credit for bringing the Harvey Wallbanger fad back http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Harvey_Wallbanger.jpg/150px-Harvey_Wallbanger.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 After a vaguely disappointing anniversary dinner at the much-hyped Bar Shu (yes, it's decent Szechuan food in London but it burns your tongue and it's not all that) we were delighted to find another great London restauarant this lunchtime. Very reasonable prices too - Kiasu is the place! It means 'fear of coming second' in Hokkien/Straits Chinese and 'Singlish' in Singapore. It's top quality Penang/Singapore style cafe food and it rocks! http://www.kiasu.co.uk/ http://www.timeout.com/london/eating-and-drinking-awards-2007/features/3493/6.html Great stuff! http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ Thorn Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Less than a month until Turkey Day. I've already told my family that I won't tolerate any mistakes - messin' with my Turkey Day meal is like messin' with my emotions. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I make a killer turkey. I do a brine/cranberry/orange/pepper soak for a day that just is the bomb. Outside is crispy, inside is juicy. My wife doesn't like turkey, but she likes my turkey. That said, I hate cleaning up after T'day dinner more than anything in this entire world. More than Donald Rumsfeld, even though he is such a wordsmith. More than Paul Bremer. More than the current POTUS and V-POTUS. That's saying a whole lot about how much I don't want to clean up a half-eaten turkey. As such, I'm considering doing a Thanksgiving gumbo instead of a turkey. There would be turkey meat in the gumbo (along with all the rest of the usual ingredients...) Question to all the foodies out there: is this a good idea, or a bad idea? Things are just the way they are, and they're only going to get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai can be hot, but is a bit sweeter. Burmese is like Thai but a bit richer/stronger like Indian. Sechwan (sp?) Chinese is hot. Drool.

ZZ Thorn Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Question to all the foodies out there: is this a good idea, or a bad idea? Messin' with my Turkey Day is like messin' with my emotions - don't do it. I always clean cuz I don't want to cook. I want to grandly approach the Turkey Day table with a cape, garland crown and the Olympics theme playing in the background.

Rocky McDougall Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I don't let my wife cook. She makes a horrible mess and I feel compelled to clean it up. I would rather cook and clean myself. I clean as I cook. When I am finished cooking, there is nothing to clean up. This has only been going on for 48 years. No sense changing now.

Nicklab Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've been on something of a Burmese food kick recently. I found this one little place in NYC that's just fantastic. It's a bit of a blend of Indian and Thai cuisine with some interesting things added here and there. I'm also feeling for the management lately as they're Burmese ex-pats who no doubt have a good level of concern over what's going on in their homeland lately.

Yes Phil, exactly. To go even farther, when a country does need some sort of aide, the first country they call is the US; and when we need help for something, they all run for cover (with a few exceptions). Wow, even more OT. Back to Food..........I love Food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
