Skip, that Lobster Newburg looked TOO good to be true! I didn't get the shell mention and saw the white boarder around the shell. Somehow my eye interpreted that as a photograph cut out and placed on the plate. Does that make sense? :lol:
You're gonna make me blush :blush: My motto is "I'm not afraid to experiment with YOUR food!" :lol: As a kid we visited an aunt in Oregon and she made us Potato and Sauerkraut Soup, it made an impression on me and I never forgot it. Now 45 years later I decided to give it a try - very good, the sauerkraut gives it a nice tang |

"a photograph cut out and placed on the plate. Does that make sense?" Ha! that is Hang10s gig but then it would be Dan's head super imposed on the plate. "As a kid we visited an aunt in Oregon and she made us Potato and Sauerkraut Soup" Potato and Sauerkraut Soup Sounds good, my wife used to get Sauerkraut pizza at Cappys pizza joint. I had to follow my cook at my restaurant around before I sold it and try to write down what she did as she made food so I would have her recipes that she made at Jacks. It's really hard to find good diner food cookbooks, I know I have looked. |

Broiled flank steak (darker than I’d intended) with roasted carrots and Nature’s candy, BRUSSELS SPROUTS! Just olive oil, salt and pepper for the veggies and a spice rub (mostly paprika) for the meat. I could eat a pound of roasted Brussels sprouts every day. |

Looks delicious Hamo! I thought bacon was Nature's candy? :lol: Made some Gai Yang tonight, grilled Thai chicken along with Coconut Curry Vegetables and Thai Fried Rice (who puts fish sauce in fried rice? :o Actually it was prett good). I experimented with Chai Chocolate Mousse. I was just a boxed mousse mix but I replaced half of the milk with Chai concentrate. The chai flavors were there but they were subtle and I'm not a fan of subtle :wink: Next time I will see if I can amp it up a little more. |

I love Chile Rellenos! I have even made them a few times but to messy for me. Do you serve them with a thin tomato based sauce with bell peppers and onions? |

"infused (after baking) with tequila" “Went to an estate sale this past weekend in Foster City. A lot of the items belonged to a previous general manager of Trader Vic's. Among the items was this binder from the Trader Vic's/Polinesio, Havana, Cuba (restaurant) It's food recipes (not drinks). They were asking $195 for it, which was too rich for me.” Quote from TQTQTQ http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=29209&forum=2&start=45&63 So I did make the Cho Cho sauce from this book. Thick Soy sauce I found out is just like molasses in taste. Cho Cho sauce was not in my mind good. Soy sauce is like wine there are many different kinds/brands. And through the years at my diner we had to change the pancake recipe because the flour made today is different, so the ingredients may be different / changed as well. Will make others from this book and post a good one if I find one. |

What was the favorite flavor Mike? Been making cupcakes myself lately, I try to buy the cupcake cups with the foil lining as they keep the fancy printing looking good even after cooking, and they come out of the cupcake cup with greater ease. |

I many times need to go fact finding after your posts. But then the stuff we grow up with is what we like. "The foil tip would have been nice 3 days ago" AND the cupcake liners come in Mexican fiesta styles too. |

Skip, I'm not a big fan of the De La Rosa candy. It's a "marzipan style" but it's made of peanuts not almonds. It has a weird powdery texture. Tonight - messy enchiladas, green salad, and a Puhi Split drink |

Looks great Space Monkey. Just as well, key limes are too much trouble to juice :lol: I know it's just getting to be Spring for a lot of you but it's already full blown summer here on the Anvil of the Sun. A nice cool salad for dinner - chicken, raw zucchini, olives, bell pepper, fresh basil, tomatoes, Italian dressing & Greek seasoning. Sometimes I'll add pasta or mozzarela cheese, but not this time around. |
