I had forgotten that the Danes like cardamom. I always think of that as an Indian spice. |

A few weeks ago I watched the movie "The Perez Family" ~ 1995 Romantic Comedy with Alfred Molina, Marisa Tormei and Angelica Houston. It inspired me to cook some Cuban food. Mexican Cubano Tortas on the left (bread, roasted pork, ham, panella cheese, chorizo, avocado, and mayo) and Traditional Cubano Sandwiches on the right (crusty bread, roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and mustard - nothing more and nothing less) The Traditional Cubanos are pressed with a placha - a brick covered in foil Served with Cuban Mojo Sauce (orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, salt & pepper), Testones (twice fried plantain chips), fries, and salad (not pictured - grilled pineapple, avocado, spinach, and watercress) I varied from the classic Mojito a bit by using Demarera Mint Syrup along with the fresh mint and adding Canton Ginger Liqueur. Dessert was 3 types of Cuban Pastelitos - one filled with guava paste and cream cheese, one with pineapple/apricot filling, and the strips drenched in cinnamon syrup. Served with Pineaple Coconut ice cream. The weather in Headhunter Harbor was beautiful last night with the strains of some 50s Cuban music on the speakers. We only get about 2 weeks of Fall in the desert, you have to enjoy it while you can :) When you hurry through life, you just get to the end faster. [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2013-10-06 08:32 ] |

It was good. The bunapi 'shrooms have a bit of an off taste raw, vaguely like ammonia. But it disappears when they are cooked. |

For this chilly night I baked a “Clafoutis”. It’s best served warm and is perfect with a hot coffee cocktail. You can use almost any fruit but a traditional french clafoutis is made with black/dark cherries. Made with any other fruit it’s properly called “Flaugnarde”. This one was made using strawberries (my favorite). Clafoutis or Flaugnarde-my family loves em! Ridiculously easy to prepare. |

Saw Saving Mr. Banks last night and a good chunk of it was a fun orgy of 1960's snacks, including a Jello dessert that Charles Phoenix would swoon over. (He swoons over a LOT of stuff so that ain't saying much.) It's giving me ideas though... Here's a cool link to Dapper Day at Disneyland from a few months ago; is this a regular thing?! It should be! http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2013/09/10/saving-mr-banks-dapper-day-round-up/ First of the Holiday Yums - BIG FAT GERMAN PRETZELS!!!! by the way, Mad Dog, you KNOW YOU RULE!

Let's see if I can remember all the little details; Preheat oven to 350. Butter and dust with flour a large Bundt pan. Ingredients: Mix all, gently at first and at medium speed for about 4 minutes. Separate about 1/3 of the batter, mix into it between 1/3 - 1/2 cup good Dutch cocoa. Put this aside. Stir into the yellow batter: Pour 1/2 the yellow batter into the Bundt pan. Pour the chocolate-ized batter on top, in the center of the first layer. Pour the rest of the yellow batter on top. Drag a knife through it in a circle, ONCE, to marblize it all. Bake 50 minutes. Cool it by leaving on the oven rack with door open for about 15 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool for another 30 mins. or more. Turn out onto a serving platter, wait until it's at room temperature, and brush all over with: 2 tbsp. Orange Juice Or you can simply brush the orange/cognac on, and dust the top with the powdered sugar JUST before serving. Recommendation: People basically ate this cake like starving wolverines even though they had just eaten an entire beef brisket, a full ham, and a deep-fried turkey, plus all the trimmings. The yellow cake/banana pudding base tastes nice and subtle and lends itself to experiments. The chocolate center is incredible; use good cocoa. This was also really easy and fast to make, despite my description... |

Don't look, TASTE!!!!! The Jello is Cherry/Strawberry/Orange/Lemon with sweet milk layers in between. It tastes kind of like a 50/50 bar. People couldn't stop eating it. One of my cousins kept telling her kid to eat some real food. He grabbed another 3 pieces of Jet Set Jello instead. She looked at me accusingly and said "Did you make this?" If you really want to knock the Jello out of the park, use the corresponding fresh JUICE for the Jello you are making instead of plain water: fresh squeezed orange juice for a box of orange Jello, etc. Fresh lemon in the lemon Jello. I tried this once, it was REALLY time consuming but tasted intense and amazing. Maybe 1/2 water, 1/2 juice would work too, don't know. On a totally different note, I've noticed that people put down Tiki food in general (kahlua pork, ribs island style, marinated fish, spam musubi, tropical & rum flavored desserts) until they actually try them. We're all in the know about this stuff, but regular schmoes look at you askance (when's the last time you read the work askance?!?!? This is fun!) when you shove a piece of Tropical Rum Cake their way. Then they taste it and it's like giving heroin to a librarian. They just ain't prepared for the explosion of flavor, and then they pretend that they liked it all the time and were just joshing about not wanting any. Then they ask for ANOTHER HUGE FREAKING PIECE. Finally, does anybody have any experience using this stuff; - Somebody did a slow-cooked brisket using it and it was AWESOME. |

This weird Claude's Marinade isn't trying to duplicate a smoked cut. It's a whole different ultra soft beef style - and for a simple little Texas marinade it really did a lot of work. No kidding, this stuff has to be tried. These friends are from New Mexico and I guess everybody knows about Claude's there. (No cracks about them all being clods in New Mexico!) I tasted it, my taste buds went BOING!!!! and I got the recipe then immediately texted it to myself (no pens or pencils to be found anywhere, are we really that far into the future?) - so basically - Marinade a 6 lb. beef brisket overnight in about 1/2 a bottle of Claude's. I'd try adding a good 2 cups of beef broth at the beginning, and also a smaller cut in a crock pot set on low. If this sounds a LOT like Kalua Pork, it is - it tastes just like a beef version of it - Kalua Beef! |

Hey MadDog - After frying the ribs, bake them in a dish; half-cover them with a liquid of pineapple juice & chunks, onion and pink ginger pieces, with a dash of Kikkoman soy sauce and another dash of sesame oil and you have the mouth wateringly delicious Japanese Ribs Pokay. Bake like 20 minutes at 360, covered with foil, then flip them all over and another 20 uncovered. Serve falling-off-the-bone soft. I also do this with fried fish pieces. NICE JOB ON THE NEW YEARS DINNER! (Did you make 2 servings so you can eat seconds?) Do you do cheesecake delivery? http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-incredible-cheesecake-company-san-diego Laytah! |
