the Saucy Cook

beerorkid | November 30, 2010

Swung by the Saucy Cook a week or so ago at 70th and Van Down. They have a pretty decent selection of stuff. We grabbed some candy, salsa, stuffed olives, and some killer aged cheddar. Lexi wrote a great article on the place on SCB.

so many seeds

beerorkid | October 14, 2010

Theresa loves pumpkin pie and actually roasts the pumpkins cuz the stuff from the can simply does not compare. She is on her second round of making the goop and I am still not done with the first batch of seeds I made. I am guessing sucky bagging and freezing them will work out well. Might save these for a mid winter treat. I have tried making them all fancy with spices, but just plain salt is the best.

skinless nuts

tee he he

Planters has new flavor grove cracked pepper skinless almonds with onion and garlic. I am always looking for new crap to try and my local convenience store folk are tired of me asking for something new each time I stop in, so they actually notified me of these. Skinless almonds just look wrong and seem to not hold much flavor. Mike at the U-STOP said you have to suck on the nuts to taste the flavor.

Theresa picked me up some books.

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
Made up my first batch of dough last night and will let you know how it goes.

Alton Brown I’m Just Here for the Food: Version 2.0
I can’t ever get enough Alton. A friend hooked me up with his kitchen gadget book and this one should be mostly review of stuff I have learned, but I will read it bunches of times.

So normally I read on the toilet, butt since I am not a raging drunk anymore and eat tons of fiber rich apples I do not spend much time on the throne. So last night I actually read a book on the couch. Was really really strange.

We are looking for some fresh meal ideas. Got some good tips over on the forum. Cuz we are so stuck in a rut that it usually is gravy on something.

Made chicken noodle stew a few times recently from roasted chicken leavings. Home made egg noodles in there.

IMG_3035

Some pork and skillet fries. Pork had some Penzey Trinidad Style Lemon-Garlic Marinade, which was decent. The potatoes has Penzey Greek Seasoning, which is really good.
I will make a vid of my skillet fries here soon.

This weekend was the first time I have ever made pancakes from scratch. I don’t think I have even made pancakes in the 10 years I have been in my house. Used this recipe

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon white sugar
* 1 1/4 cups milk
* 1 egg
* 3 tablespoons butter, melted

I had no clue that there is butter in the mix. Saw that on many recipes. Going to try the Alton Brown ones next. These were pretty darn decent though.

Le Quartier now making frozen pizza

beerorkid | October 19, 2009

IMG_2060

Was wondering through the newly expanded and remodeled Open Harvest and saw that LeQuartier had three variations of frozen pizza on their crusts. There was a meat one, a veggi, and this pizza lyonnaise one I picked up.

Creamy leek sauce (cream, leek, feta, garlic, salt), artichoke hearts, mushrooms (portobella, button), bacon, onion, salt.

Seems they forgot to list cheese as an ingredient, but I am pretty sure it was mozzarella. I am a huge fan of their pizza crusts and enjoy them for lunch with light toppings. This frozen pizza was loaded with toppings. It was a hearty meal and could easily be split between two people with a side salad and some bread. At just under $7 it was a bit pricey, but local and made with great ingredients.

The Leek sauce scared me before I tried it, but it was delicious. Not greasy and the big chunks of toppings made each bite unique. I would eat it again for sure.

diced green chilies on pizza is really good

beerorkid | September 15, 2009

IMG_1269

Put some diced green chilies on my mini lunch pizza today and it was absolutely amazing. It would slay with the spiciness of pepperoni too. Saw a diners drive ins and dives where a place used diced green chilies in their awesome pizzas and have be intrigued ever since. It is really good because they are such a cool flavor that goes with pizza well. A great addition to round out the flavor without being hot.

I was worried that some of them got pretty brown. Wondered if I shouls of added them later, but the juices spread over the pieces and the browned chilies added another layer of flavor. Nom
