Ha!! That's hilarious. It won't play like a steel drum, but my tummy was singing after that meal. If you can I strongly suggest getting one of these things. I'll be using it this Friday for the guys at work and again for Fathers Day when we have all the family over.

Okay Matt, enough teasing-Where do you get the comals and how do it work? After seeing your pix I gotta have one
Cheers

Sushi success and failures -
Success: Yin Yang Roll - white rice, dyed brown rice, soy sauce marinated tuna, cucumber.

Failures: Panda Roll - white rice, avocado and cilantro green rice, soy sauce marinated tuna. The one on the upper left almost looks like a panda :lol:

Siracha and Soy Sauce "Pearls/Caviar" - hot liquid is mixed with agar-agar and dropped in cold oil. It was supposed to make round spheres, not rat turds :wink:

I did order this today.

I'll tell ya at this price you will not get the best quality stainless.
Would be best to get an old one from the 50s as the stainless was best in the good ol days.
I have a "stainless steel" sink that is rusted all to heck.

Sooo if you get one of these put oil on it right away and cure it in your oven
as this will help to get this thing on it's way to being coated in a way much like the
old iron skillets.

Will let ya know how good this one is when I get it.

Perfect! They sell the whole set up on there too. I already had the burner. The comal alone goes for $50 at Chef City here in San Diego. If any of you get one try and go to Northgate Market. You can feed 12 to 15 people 4 different kinds of tacos with all the sides for under $40. I love the comal. It is really fun to use.

Just read "Bulls Before Breakfast" about running with the bulls in Pamplona (great book!) It inspired me to cook some Spanish food. Gazpacho and tapas a couple nights ago and paella tonight.

Continuing to explore Spanish flavors I bought some jarred sofrito (sauce made of tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell pepper, and olive oil) today. It was pretty good, put it on grilled tilapia. With grilled zucchini and white rice

Well, what did you stuff those peppers with?
Classic Italian, Mid-West style?

I guess it would be just a standard make as you go recipe. Ground beef, white rice, minced garlic, chopped red onion and bell pepper from the tops. All heated through and just before stuffing the peppers added a bit of cheddar cheese and a couple of tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce with half a cup of tomato sauce. Stuffed the peppers and topped the with the remainder of the tomato sauce mixed with half a cup of water. Covered the peppers and cooked them for thirty five minute at 350 degrees. Topped with mozzarella until melted and served them up. Oh, I forgot to mention that I parboiled the peppers for five minutes first. So after that long winded answer I guess the recipe sounds kinda standard. They were really good though :D Next time I'll try ground pork or lamb. As I've said many times before the FAB 400 makes cooking pleasure.

Nice looking peppers Trav!
It is an Indian co-worker's b'day today so I brought the toaster oven in and made Indian Pizzas in the breakroom for everyone :lol:

Naan flatbread, Tikka Masala sauce, Mozzarella cheese, Chicken Biryani, and Mattar Paneer. Delicious!
For the less adventurous we also had regular pizza sauce, pineapple, ham, and pepperoni.

I know it is hot but why not. My first attempt to making Matzo ball soup. I took some of the skin off was not sure I wanted full fat broth.

After chicken was cooled I added vegetables and noodles.

still enough chicken fat there to give it good taste.

Time to make Matzo balls. I added dry dill to the mix.

final product, it was real tasty.

Not sure if I will make this anytime soon, it took about 4 hours to make.

In honor of Christmas I made White Boy Pozole - leftover pulled pork, chicken broth, hominy, red enchilada sauce, El Pato sauce, oregano, lemon, shredded cabbage, cilantro. It didn't taste much like pozole but it was a good soup.
