What's Bubbling Away in Your Kitchen Tonight? 10/09/2024

Post by ItsJoanNotJoAnn
Your middle of the week dinner plans tonight? Grilling,
baking, or frying? Maybe eating out?
It's going to be chicken pot pie here that will be cooked
in the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker. The most time-consuming
part of this meal is cubing the chicken and the vegetables.
The cooking/baking portion is rather quick with it being
ready to eat in 20-25 minutes. But I do give it about 10
minutes to cool as it's bubbling like lava when done.

Ramen with some added veg and cubed chicken...

Sounds good, Joan! Here it will be just a ground chuck burger, seasoned
with S&P, a little garlic powder, cooked in my small cast iron skillet
to medium-rare. No bun, just the burger. I might break out my small
air fryer and heat up a frozen hash brown patty to go with it in lieu of
french fries or potato chips.

That sounds wonderful, your Majesty. A meal fit for a queen.

It is often offered free, in jewish gin mills in larger towns.

We had a 5 minute power outage so after it came back on, I made dinner a
bit earlier than usual, just in case.

Chicken thighs in the air fryer, nuked potato, salad.

Just had another power glitch and had to reset a breaker.

Lunch was mediocre Polish food at a new restaurant I was trying
out. Pickle soup, gołąbki, potato pancakes, and what was supposed
to be sauerkraut pierogi but turned out to be potato pierogi.

Dinner was a salad.

That's a shame. I still remember the first pierogi I ever tried. My
friend's mother had made them and wanted me to try them. She had made
some with potato and cheese and some with sauerkraut. I was an instant
fan and I especially liked the sauerkraut.

Maybe they weren't as good as my introductory pierogis. My freind's
mother's pierogies tasted great and had a really nice texture. We have
a friend down the road who has a background that is Polish and Ukrainian
and she often makes pierogies by the dozens for family gatherings and
parties. There is a Ukrainian church women's group that makes and sells
them as a fundraiser. They are great. However, there are also a lot of
very disappointing specimens out there.

Usually the potato has a rather bland cheese mixed in. The absolute
worst are the Mrs. T's in the freezer section. More dough than filling.

I do not have an eastern European background, so they were not part of

My grandfather's stepmother was from Poland. But I was a picky eater
and wouldn't touch anything that I couldn't identify all of the
ingredients visually, so no pierogi or gołąbki for me as a child.

I had my first pierogi at a Polish restaurant in Hamtramck, which
at the time was 90% Polish immigrants and their descendants.

I did say that the commercial ones suck. I have bought them only a
couple times and was disappointed. I have had them only once or twice in
restaurants and they were disappointing. I believe I mentioned that
the first time I had them was when my friend's mother had made them, and
that one of our neighbours makes great ones. Those set a pretty high bar
for me and left me with the hope that I will have good pierogies again.

I know that when my friend's mother made they she had made a lot, and
when my neigbour does them it is a big production and she used to get
her sisters to help. She used to invite us to family events. She had 13
brothers an sisters and most of them had a few kids. Add in friends and
neighbours an there would 60 or more people feasting on pierogies. I am
used to cooking for two, so it is unlikely that I would consider making
something that is usually made by the gross. Besides, my wife has a low
carb diet. Way too much work for me.

Let's not get too carried away with Yom Kippur fasting edicts...

Ok, sorry, I did get carried away. ;)

I've heard Jews only have to eat once a week.

No you haven't.

https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/you-are-what-you-dont-eat/

Jewish law traditionally opposes self-denial. Yet on Yom Kippur Jews are
expected to forgo eating and drinking for more than a day. Perhaps
fasting is a necessary counterweight to modern life.

Almost all religions have special foods and diets for their sacred
occasions. How, when, and what you eat has long been recognized to be
filled with symbolic meanings as well as calories.

Pork roast looks spot on.

Tofu (like squid) is a neutral taste - it loves gravy or any sauce.

Putting that squid on top of a bed of linguine with a nice sauce would

I am not so sure about that. Many years ago we had travelled around
Europe on a rail pass and ended up in Paris. It was a concession to our
son go for dinner in an Italian restaurant. I ordered calamari pasta. It
was a major disappointment. My understanding of cooking calamari is that
it has to be cooked for 2 minutes or more than 20. This must have been
somewhere in between. It was tough and completely lacking in flavour.

You got the worst of both worlds. I cooked the calamari perfectly. My
wife thought it was just dandy. I just don't care for bland. My wife is
eating it with some pasta. Unfortunately, there's no sauce. The pieces
of squid has little cuts on the surface.

Indeed yes, and I might experiment with it in a carbonara, given enough
pancetta.

But I'm thinking a nice scampi sauce with lemon zest, garlic and anchovy

We went to an Italian restaurant. I had meatballs with some kind of
pasta. I don't like to complain about food from a restaurant but I've
never had a meatball like that before. It was essentially a hamburger
in the shape of a ball. It didn't taste or feel like an Italian
meatball. One of the appetizers was caramelized Brussels sprouts. It was
pretty good.

I bought some calamari steaks that have been tenderized. They will be
breaded and fried. They're kind of thin so I'm thinking of stacking them
and then frying them. Perhaps I make some caramelized Brussels sprouts
too.

It's going to be chicken pot pie here that will be cooked
in the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker. The most time-consuming
part of this meal is cubing the chicken and the vegetables.
The cooking/baking portion is rather quick with it being
ready to eat in 20-25 minutes. But I do give it about 10
minutes to cool as it's bubbling like lava when done.

Your hamburger to meatball experience is very interesting! Did you know
that this is how the first street kitchen vendor in sweden managed to get
around the law banning hamburgers in sweden?

Burgers were banned. Street kitchens could only sell meatballs, sausages
and kroppkakor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroppkaka).

So the guy wanted to sell burgers, and did it! He was prosecuted by the
government for serving burgers, and he argued in his defense, that in
fact, a hamburger is nothing but a "flat meatball", and that the law in
sweden at that time, did not regulate the shape of the meatball.

The court accepted his defense, and from that day on, it became legal to
sell burgers in sweden!

Somehow tacos escaped! The closest thing I can remember to interfering
with that is when food trucks arrived. At first there were many, then the
socialist majority in Stockholm decided that it wouldn't do, since
obviously you can die if you eat food from a truck, so they banned them.

Then the center/conservatives took power, allowed food trucks, it
exploded, no one died, and all was good.

Then the socialists came back, increased taxes and license fees with
around 5x so that 90% of the food trucks disappeared, and what has now
happened is that only the bigger food truck chains survived, while the
small personal ones could not afford the taxes and licenses.

Hah, they are waaaaay ahead of you. The green party is in power in
Stockholm and are trying to ban all gasoline powered vehicles from the
city center. All stores have said that EV trucks do not exist that can
deliver all the food and goods stores in the city center need to get
delivered, so it currently very exciting to see if the green party will
ignore that, and then we'll see empty store shelves, or if they will
listen to reason.

Well, I think sweden is a lost cause. It might become a muslim nation by

But... good, competent swedes moved to the US in the 1800s, and once my

Old people like me call a food truck a lunch wagon. Their origins are
from Chinese guys that would walk around the plantation/town carrying
cans of dim sum to sell. He was called a manapua man. These days we have
manapua trucks that sell snack items and dim sum. We have a manapua
truck that stops by our condo every day. A manapua truck is not a lunch
wagon, which serves plate lunches. I don't know which came first - the
manapua truck or the lunch wagon. My guess is that they were around long
before the food trucks on the mainland.

cans of dim sum to sell. He was called a manapua man. These days we have
manapua trucks that sell snack items and dim sum. We have a manapua
truck that stops by our condo every day. A manapua truck is not a lunch
wagon, which serves plate lunches. I don't know which came first - the
manapua truck or the lunch wagon. My guess is that they were around long
before the food trucks on the mainland.

I think a case could be made for the romans also discovering the concept.

I hear the past served on Hadrian's wall was sauced with the blood
of Scotsmen!

Sounds like a very plausible theory! Scotch blood, the original
ketchup on the pasta!

Lol!
I'd be looking to grill up some Lionheart if t'were me...

Let's add a bloody Mary to that!

LOL!

Touche!

And I am a beef eater...;-)

We went to an Italian restaurant. I had meatballs with some kind of
pasta. I don't like to complain about food from a restaurant but I've
never had a meatball like that before. It was essentially a hamburger
in the shape of a ball. It didn't taste or feel like an Italian
meatball. One of the appetizers was caramelized Brussels sprouts. It was
pretty good.
I bought some calamari steaks that have been tenderized. They will be
breaded and fried. They're kind of thin so I'm thinking of stacking them
and then frying them. Perhaps I make some caramelized Brussels sprouts
too.

Your hamburger to meatball experience is very interesting! Did you know
that this is how the first street kitchen vendor in sweden managed to get
around the law banning hamburgers in sweden?
Burgers were banned. Street kitchens could only sell meatballs, sausages
and kroppkakor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroppkaka).
So the guy wanted to sell burgers, and did it! He was prosecuted by the
government for serving burgers, and he argued in his defense, that in
fact, a hamburger is nothing but a "flat meatball", and that the law in
sweden at that time, did not regulate the shape of the meatball.
The court accepted his defense, and from that day on, it became legal to
sell burgers in sweden!

I can't say what a burger is in Sweden but in America, a meatball could
be a burger in the shape of a sphere. OTOH, an Italian meatball should
not be with a spherical American burger. OTOH, a third or fourth or
fifth generation Italian in America might not care what an Italian
meatball is. In America, a meatball can be anything you want it to be.
It was however, my misfortune to have an American meatball in an Italian
restaurant. I'm a little picky about that because my middle name is
"Italian meatball."

Never seen this one before! My favourite is the double cheese burger. If
I'm very hungry, I'll add a regular plain burger to it, and I'm good. I
void fries and coke, too many calories.

I think it's only sold in Hawaii. Isn't that odd? Lunch today was
burgers. Some people might call it a "flat meatloaf" because I add
breadcrumbs to the hamburger. Sometimes I'll make an all beef burger
too. It just depends on my mood. I'm a moody person.

Excellent minimalist burger, just like I like it! No sallad or towers of
various things inside the burger. Meat, cheese, maybe some pickles and
onion, and I'm a happy camper!

This is the truth! I wonder if that is why the bullies are so hard on him?
His clearly very talented, and I would not be surprised if the bullies are
not.

That has to be part of it.

His photography alone is magazine quality, but the variety and depth of
cuisines made, simply a treat for a true foodie.

Plus you get island culture immersion as a bonus.

That kind of pro bono teaching and mentoring is a rare gift.

True! We are fortunate to have him with us. Let's hope the witches don't
scare him away. Then it will be time to involve Trump in the hunt. How was
that old methodology? If the witch floats, it's proof of witchery and it
shall be burned, if the witch sinks, all is good.

Your middle of the week dinner plans tonight? Grilling,
baking, or frying? Maybe eating out?
It's going to be chicken pot pie here that will be cooked
in the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker. The most time-consuming
part of this meal is cubing the chicken and the vegetables.
The cooking/baking portion is rather quick with it being
ready to eat in 20-25 minutes. But I do give it about 10
minutes to cool as it's bubbling like lava when done.

We went to an Italian restaurant. I had meatballs with some kind of
pasta. I don't like to complain about food from a restaurant but I've
never had a meatball like that before. It was essentially a hamburger
