🧑‍🍳 I have gotten a lot of great recipes on here!

[It Takes Eleven]

Are you a wet or dry rib guy?

Both.

 

[Krimson]

Just like your burgers at BWW: it's a grease thing. No criticism.

In my opinion...and here goes for all you freaks.

Diced pepperoni is best on a salad. And after that it is an after thought.

I want some grease in my burger and I want it cooked medium.

Agree it's pretty good on a salad. I eat a salad about once or twice a year.

Enjoying the fat off of pork, or setting it aside?

Bison is the only burger I've done in the last few years outside of sirloin. Organic; to the point I know where it was raised and what it was feed. I'm medium rare (much like doses of my personality.)

Here's a genuine problem. I can't go into a place and order a burger. I'm anal. I have an issue with "I can do this better at home." UNLESS, it's unique. (which you know.)

I kid you not. I probably eat 10+ salads a week. It's a constant snack. It's a reboot of mine.

I'm the same way, anal, about most foods. I think that's why I prefer to go to asian and Mexican restaurants. I could probably replicate most of it but I don't have the space for the specialty seasonings required so it's easier to go out.

When we're in Alabama we don't go out a lot unless it's for convenience. When we're traveling we try food at the majority of places we stop. I usually end up wondering why they're"famous" dishes in the region, nostalgia I guess.

Grew up hearing salad was rabbit food and I never developed a taste for them. Real salad that is, you know anything can be a salad in the south.

Funny, in a coincidental way.

I watched the new vid from Jack Aynsley and they went back to Birmingham for the third time in this installment. It starts off with them eating at Niki's. Which, if you watch the video, is nothing more than the old Golden Corral, or Piccadilly Cafeteria, but it's ... well, open today. They were shocked at the "style" service. (It's an assembly line.)

The Golden Corrall, which is now a funeral home, had these six dollar, all you could eat, salad bars years ago. I TORE those things up and it changed the way I eat salads. Never sans meats, mind you. But always loaded. The one I had yesterday was basically a BLT with smoked ham added...chef salad, without turkey, etc. I'm ready to eat again in a few hours. But, it's a hold over and a quick snack.

--A life sucks story..

I went by a local place yesterday, Chinese, and realized it had closed. The lady retired. She had some of the best General Tso's I've had. Seeing I couldn't get that anymore...made me order Chinese food in. They didn't have Tso's, just "General's Chicken." So, I called and asked what the difference was. They said, 'not as spicy,' so I asked for extra peppers. Now, what are you thinking of when you see extra peppers and Tso's? IT's NOT sliced jalapenos. BUT, that's what I was given.

Let me tell ya something here. Chow Mein, with jalapenos, isn't a great flavor. Neither is their version of chicken dumped in duck sauce with peppers and calling it "Generals."

Sucked balls ...

What makes it worse is I ordered one serving of three dishes and got three servings of three...a lot of food I'm looking at this morning trying to figure out what I'm going to do with it all ... A LOT of food. Literally, tripled everything but the price. Two egg rolls, got six. Two spring rolls, got six.

I have eaten a few salads like that back in the day at ruby Tuesday. It's not bad but, like you said, I was hungry in a couple hours and didn't have the cash to eat every few hours back then.

General Tso's and jalapeños . Just imagining the taste sucks. How hard is it to add some pepper flakes? Don't think I'd order from there again.

Went to a "Thai" place in Montana, they used regular basil in place of Thai basil, yeah not the same. Didn't know if I was eating Thai or Italian. Amazes me how some places can stay in business a week, guess they can bleed money for s while.

General Tso's and jalapeños

I've shared with story with a few now and had some interesting looks in response. I'm still quite upset.

 

[rick4bama]

The Golden Corrall, which is now a funeral home @TerryP .

The same with the one we use to eat at in Lagrange,GA. It now one too.

Jalapeno Dip:

1 cup real mayonnaise
1/3 cup of buttermilk
1/3 cup of sour cream
1, 4 oz. can of jalapenos (cut in half if you don't like spicy)
1, 4 oz. can of chopped green chilies
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1, 1 oz. packet of dry ranch dressing mix
1/2 tsp. minced garlic

Put all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and mix until everything is smooth. This makes a great dip and it is not too hot.
Be sure to refrigerate after mixing and using!

 

[alabama mike]

Cornbread Dressing:
1. Boil a chicken and de-bone. KEEP the broth!
2. Make one skillet of cornbread.
3. Use 3-4 slices from a loaf of bread.
4. 1 celery stick cut or add celery flakes to taste.
5. Cut 1 onion fine.
6. 1 tablespoon of sage.
7.1 Can of mushroom soup.
8. Tear chicken into very small pieces.


Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
Add chicken and broth and mix together again.
Set oven to 375 degrees and bake for 30-45 minutes.

Hold the white bread on mine

You can use any bread from a loaf.

I only want cornbread in mine. Other bread goes in stuffing.

I've got a bit of an issue with chicken in dressing with turkey. I get it...just don't really care for the idea.

This does have me thinking about some oyster dressing this year.

I make cornbread dressing to go with turkey. Chicken in dressing is on its on if I ever make it

One of the things I love about this season is how I'm told how much more, or less, I'm spending on food this year.

I watched that Aynsley video where they went to Dreamland. I ordered some of their sauce: heck of a injection for fried turkey.

In other words...I still don't know what i'm going to do. I just know it's probably more expensive than i'm told.

I use it to make it thicker.

Post about the broccoli/cheddar soup! How you make the lasagna too?

It's not complicated but it's not exactly easy to just...write. It's knock off of what I ate at O'Charley's when I was in Tuscaloosa. In the colder months it was always b-ball, bowls, and beers. A bowl of hot potato soup on the way home on a cold January night...geez, hit the spot.

I can't get real specific because I can say how many potatoes. I can say I use red. It's a mixing bowl full...and that bowl is normally 5 C's of diced apples...so?

I don't know if it's "my thing," though I can't say I've had anyone mention using chicken bullion to boil the potatoes. Boiled a little over 3/4 done. (I like to take my masher and make it a tad thicker.)

Skillet with roughly a 1/4 c of butter and flour...one of those slow whisk things until the lumps are pretty much gone and then add 1/2 and 1/2...probably seven or eight cups today.

Block of sharp cheddar.
1/2 block of Philly Cream Cheese.

Both soft, then mixed in with the rest in the skillet. I like hot sauce here...1 tsp may be good enough for you.

Low heat...half of an hour, covered. Stir it every few minutes.

Top it with bacon bits, chives, a little grated Jack, with group pepper.
