Thanks Jinx

I looked up quinoa. It sounds very healthful and something that can be used around here.

Sam said it was the best soup he ever had. Joe had seconds.

I am sick... and soup was the only thing that made me even think food was a good idea.

French Onion soup
sauteed 2 large white, and 1 large red onion in some butter
When carmelized, I added 1 can of lager beer, 4-5 cups of water, and 4 tsp of liquid beef oxo

Let simmer 20 min, then put into soup pots, added homemade croutons, and mozza cheese, baked until golden.
Made exactly 4 pots ( which is perfect for this family) chances are I will be eating most of it myself... my kids are not huge soup fans.

High protein, high fiber, high vegetable - it's chock-full of win.

Cutco, ektuelleh... that peeler'll plane off your knuckles or your fingernails if you don't watch out. I also zested the lemon with the peeler for big zests rather than little grated powdery ones. The recipe likes lots of garlic and plenty of lemon juice and zest. Keeps it peppy. Be generous with the cheese, too. One day I will throw in pancetti, like I said. The asparagus tops, lightly steamed, make an excellent garnish to top each serving with, and what else are you going to do with the very points of asparagus spears anyway? Really weird ice cream?

Seems to balance best with fetticine. Linguine, those noodles are too narrow.

Yeah, that quinoa thing: after rinsing the bitter off it, two volumes of liquid -- water or stock -- to one volume of quinoa, bung 'em into the rice cooker.

Can I gank some of these over to the Recipe Thread, which needs a bump? Or do you want to do it?

"I normally don't have a burger, a brat, and a steak but it is the 4th of July... it's what the forefathers would have wanted."

Our grill needs some new parts.

monster 04-02-2010 10:47 PM

Our grill is so basic, new parts would be new grill.
