Food

[GreenGreta]

If you had any choice of any food but had to cook it yourself, what would you make and how would you make it. I have heard of the perogies and headcheese (not on the same plate, right?) Looking for some new food ideas.

I'd make beef ribs on the bbq. I'd cut up some tatos and onions and put them in a packet to cook beside it. NUMMY.

Food topic at 7 a.m.?? Damn, GGreta ... I'd actually enjoy pretty much anything I didn't have to cook myself right now. Looks like I'm up for my specialty this morning, tho ... Honey Nut Corn Flakes with whole milk and a dollop of coffee cream. Yum.

My favourite food is samosas, but Peapod is the only one I've met who can cook them at home and have me drooling and following her around like a puppy.

It's too darn hot to cook! If I had the choice,I'd take it from the Colonel tonight..dark meat and a couple of salads

 

[Cosmo]

Well, Missile, you and I could share ... I like white meat and french fries!

Be glad it's warm! This is only our second day of overcast and rain and already I'm whining. I'd take the heat any day!

 

[GreenGreta]

NB? It's hot there? I thought it was still cool out east right now? Hey Missile, what have you heard about the tsunami giant wave in Newfoundland? It happened like 80 years ago and I first heard about it yesterday....

Where is our aid?????

I don't know, doesn't Pamela Anderson say that KFC Mistreats the chickens before they slaughter them? (Her words, the bimbo). I only eat at places where they treat the chickens like kings before they slaughter them.

The food doesn't taste abused to me..perhaps just a bit too greasy,tho I'm really doing a chicken strip fry sometime this PM and just adding rice and small veggies to the mixture[maybe even a potato.]

 

[GreenGreta]

Ok, how about a nice cool dessert or drink idea instead.

Huge glass with ice
Take two shots vodka
One shot peach
Fill halfway with orange KOOLAID (trust me)
Fill almost rest of way with orange juice - stir well
top with a large scoop of orange sherbert

For lime flavour skip peach schnapps and add extra vodka (why not)
lime koolaid and lime sherbert - use sprite instead of juice.
OH GOD - and bubble says I don't believe.

 

[GreenGreta]

have you tried popeye's chicken?

spicy

Here you go Greta:

Baby Back Ribs

1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
3 pounds baby back pork ribs
1 cup barbeque sauce

Preheat grill for high heat.

In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.

Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.

Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lightly oil grate, and lay ribs on top rack of grill. Reduce heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift lid at all.

Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.

When I drank,my summer favourite was Gordon's Gin with lime juice.It seemed to put the life right back into my dehydrated body. Now,it's just iced tea.Sigh!

 

[GreenGreta]

add vodka to the ice tea. doesn't vodka go with anything. Vodka and lemonade, vodka and grape, vodka and coffee? vodka and honey nut cornflakes?

I don't even drink.....

Vodka is basically tasteless,so it is a great mixer. But,on cereal..I never was that far gone as an alcoholic[and I've been clean and sober for over 15 years] :lol:

Hot in Saint John? You bet it is. Yesterday at 4pm, right at the harbour, it was 30C. Unusual.

I did ribs on Saturday night, using my mother's recipe...pineapple, ketchup, cinnamon, etc etc...simmer the ribs in the sauce, then finish them off on the bbq.

Yesterday it was scallops.

Tonight, something quick because the kids have soccer.

 

[GreenGreta]

mmm scallops. You out east buggers with all that tasty seafood. Oh ya.... Lobster fest coming soon out there right guys? July isn't it?

 

[I think not]

You people made me hungry I'm going to make something to eat.

NICELY DONE.

 

[Cosmo]

Good for you Missile! I'm 16 years off the sauce myself. I think there' s a few of us here.

 

[mrmom2]

A big chunk of tenderloin grilled on the BBQ to rare with a Atlantic lobster .Boiled BC early potatoes and a homemade greek salad and a big ear of Chilliwack peaches and cream corn .And to top it off 24 pack of Bud :wink: and an after dinner mint :lol: People in BC will know what that is

MrMom ... geez, drooling on the keyboard here! I just ate some leftover tater tots from last night and some chocolate covered ju-jubes. Doesn't quite compare!
