thanks for the chili responses to my chili talk. I do forgo all the extra goodies and just eat the chili. So many choices at lunch time and i had forgotten about hidden salt in chili.

I was caught up in MAKING A MURDER Documentary.... A trainwreck that just wouldn't let me take my eyes off the screen....

Munkipawse commented 6 years ago

the Making a Murder doc. It was just like watching a train-wreck. I couldn't take my eyes off it....

Actually i hadn't thought about chicken salad. I'm guessing from the lack of response that this is probably the only avenue I can take to rescue my chicken woes.

thanks.

I keep my potatoes in a wooden crate full of sand on the top of the stairs in the basement. They last longer and digging them out of the sand they are still good with no eyes or rotting.

Thanks everyone. I tossed it. the stuff is so good and i can't believe it got lost in the shuffle of thanksgiving leftovers and Christmas ham. One more question.... you store in the freezer? how.... just scoop out what you want to eat and wrap the rest and pop in the freezer?

My son isn't really into breakfast foods, like me he wants a more savory meal. When I don't have leftovers that he can heat for breakfast I usually make a big pan of vegetable fried rice. I add some chopped vegetables and rice topping it with some scrambled eggs. That tends to be our Saturday/Sunday ritual for breakfast.

thanks everyone for comments. I was referring to sauces not salsas. thanks for asking for clarification. :)

When I was researching how to enhance the flavor of a ramen powder packet. I stumbled on a ramen thread discussing add ins for packaged ramen soup. My culinary knowledge has been expanded several times over from what I read on this site. :)

I like a couple teaspoons of the olive oil and vinegar PN dressing stirred in a bowl of hot pasta followed by a couple pinches of red pepper flakes... Nom.nom.

Not sure about using the sauce you saw on Amazon. But whenever i need a brown sauce in pan fried noodles I alternate between using a mixture of Soy sauce & hoison sauce or Soy sauce & Oyster sauce. Both sauces have distinct flavors and both have worked good once i mixed a bit of soy sauce in to cut the creamy pasty texture.

My kitchen is reasonably tidy and dishes are cleaned immediately after meals, but what really drives me ape-sh*t is when my husband dumps things on my island that I consider a prep area. His office is less than 20ft away, however I've come home many a night 15mins after him and he's dropped all his stuff on my kitchen island. Since I do all the prep work for meals and such there I consider this an off-limits area for non food items. Call me Crazy as well.

and least we not forget the sac-relig of seafood kings... Red Lobster! Wow have they taken a nose-dive in quality in the last few years.... Gag! Not even their cheddar biscuits is enough to make up for their mediocre food.

I hoard pasta and rice. Sadly I can't go to the market without cruising through the pasta section and picking up at least 2-4 packages of different shaped pasta. At minimum I keep at least 6lbs of rice for "whenever".... Can't help it. I don't stress or worry if I run low on anything else, but if my pasta shelf or rice bucket "seem" low I will buy more regardless. ...and yes I cook pasta and rice daily for my family....

really Scunge? The addition of certain veg and slow simmering creates the sweet taste? I will give it a try. I just fell in love with a sweeter sauce after trying it and now a more savory sauce has become a distant memory... ;-). Being Sicilian Scunge, do you prefer homemade sauces more than jarred?

Munkipawse commented 10 years ago

thanks Todao! Any chance if you've ever heard of sauce being made with brown sugar instead of white? Growing up i was never fond of sauces or ragu that wasn't savory but lately I've discovered a whole new slew of sauces used in Italian cooking that have been on the sweeter side. thanks again for the three links. :)

Ha-ha Chowser I must be tired... I had to read your post three times cause I though you said Hubert had to dive for his own cooch... :'-). Anyway thanks for your thoughts regarding the lack of interesting challenges, i agree as well... this season was an epic fail to me as we got no real sense of anyone's style until way late in the game.

I drain the tuna, dice an onion, 2 ribs of celery, add a tbsp of mayo, a squeeze of mustard, a tbsp of pickle relish, S&P, mix and eat in lettuce leaves... a la lettuce rolls. Mmmmm... Sometimes if i feel adventerous I will add a tbsp of Pico de gallo to the mix. :)
