Something Delicious

[WintergreenGem]

Hi WG!

What do you do with the pomegranate seeds?

When they are frozen they are great to roll around in the mouth until they become soft again. They taste so delicious.

What kind of cheese do you suggest?

I usually use colby jack or cheddar cheese.

I bet some roasted green chilis would be great in there but I do not want to assume to change your Grandmother's recipe.

I agree. They are delicious.

They belong in the Delicious thread!

It is rare that I have a cocktail but Wolfy got me thinking
about a Coquito.

Gee thanks Wolf.

No Coconut, No Rum.

I can quit there.

I experiment with my grandmothers recipes all the time. She is the one who taught me to measure in the palm of my hand, smell the spice bottle to decide if it would blend well in my pan, and always do take a risk in the kitchen. I think she would be pleased to see her recipes live on and change to bring joy to anyone who uses them.

200 degrees C would be ideal for proofing bread.

Tell me that was a typo... it had to be, right?

In principle I would imagine a solar oven would proof bread just fine but I dunno if it would start it baking at 250 F, and I also don't think one can adjust the temp--you get what you get, depending on the sun and the outdoor temps that day. They say you can bake cookies, but it takes a long time.

200 degree Celsius = 392 degree Fahrenheit...

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night Delicious people
wherever in the world you are!

I have to say that it is so cool to have a thread where we are talking about food with friends from all over the world.

Also, this thread is only 25 days old and it has really taken off. We are getting a lot of readers as well as posters. I want to invite those of you who are reading and not posting to drop in and say hello. It would be great to hear from you.


Someone asked me what whole grain pasta I liked and I never replied. This conversation came from another thread.

Do any of you use whole grain pasta? Whole wheat or other grain?

Happy Friday Folks !

That is the only pasta I buy now and brown rice that I eat, unless at a restaurant.


ahhh Grandmother's recipes. The best! I'll be searching for some good tamales this holiday season that compare. I found some last year and probably go with the same place for this year. . pork and red chile and some green chile and cheese ones. I should ONE OF THESE DAYS break down and try to make my own.

This is the best way to learn to cook.

You were blessed to have that experience.

We have been eating this on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember. Some people like it on toast, we prefer good ole southern biscuits. You can add cooked sausage if you like.


Ingredients
•2 hard-cooked eggs
•2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter, softened and divided
•2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/8 teaspoon white pepper
•1 cup milk
•2 buttermilk biscuits

Directions
•Cut eggs in half; remove yolks and set aside. Chop egg whites; set aside. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
• Stir in egg whites; heat through. Spread each slice of toast with 1 teaspoon remaining butter. Pour sauce over biscuit. Force egg yolks through a sieve to break into small pieces; sprinkle over sauce. Yield: 2 servings.

Hi Okie Welcome to the thread!

Thank you for sharing that recipe. We are going to have a nice collection of recipes in here soon.

This is one that I never seen before. Very cool! I love seeing what you all are preparing for the holidays.

#4. What dish or meal stands out as something that you would travel for again?

I think what I look for is what a location is popular for and what the locals enjoy. Like in KC Missouri it's ribs!, Texas and California would be mexican for sure, Florida could be Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Jamaican. I guess it's all about being homemade for me and coming from the culture and people in that region. I would like to travel to Italy to experience their Italian food. I love mexican food and no matter where I go I always look for good authentic mexican food.

...

I learned some from my gram also and my mom. . so extensive and hard though lol.. like homemade tortillas and tamales, and menudo. Takes a lot of work. I don't make those things but other stuff I guess its just based on trial and error and experimenting to see what works and what ingredients and flavors work together.

Ursy thanks for the recipe on dumplings, sounds delicious! .. and now I want to make some!
