Want to try my Bolognese-inspired Chili out at a chili cook-off someday.

Got about 12 pounds of chicken thighs to smoke tonight after I get back from dinner. Going to make pulled chicken for the Eagles game beach party tomorrow. Brined them overnight and just put the rub on. Wanted to do a butt but didn't have the time. Should be tasty.

Didn't even know Kenji/Serious Eats had a cookbook coming out. Sold.

http://www.amazon.com/Food-Lab-Cooking- ... s=food+lab

He's also reviewing a soon to be kickstarted $65 chef knife that he calls the 'holy grail' of knives. I definitely don't need one but may get one anyway once it's up.

Anybody even make bagels?


Did this on Saturday. They turned out OK. Next time, I need to boil them a little longer and bake them a lot longer. Then, I will start playing around with mixing things into them. Kids like cinnamon raisin so that will be first and then onion.

Also made crepes for dinner last night. Made the actual crepes earlier in the day and then at dinner time we throw a crepe on the griddle, fill it, fold it and plate it.

This looks interesting. It appears to be a European-style chef's knife, and looks to be about an 8-inch blade, so I doubt it would replace my 9.5-inch gyuto but I'd like a better second knife than my old Henckels.

I thought I just wasn't a fan of Sriracha, but it turns out I really just don't like the Huy Fong version (the ubiquitous one with the rooster on the bottle). Got some Shark Brand at my local Asian grocery and it's awesome. It's thinner and a little sweeter than Huy Fong and lacks the weird taste that Huy Fong has that I can't quite place.

I think it would make a wonderful alternative to Frank's or whatever for hot wings too.

had an epic fail trying to waffle mac and cheese last night- turned into a huge mess

I have a feeling that since my waffle iron is a belgian type and not a standard waffle was the culprit. The grooves were so thick that it didn't congeal all the way through and the top and bottom stuck while the middle just split apart

Interesting idea. I may have to try this, although I also have a Belgian style maker. I assume that you sprayed with cooking spray prior to putting the Mac in the iron. How long to you cook it?

of course I sprayed, do you take me for an amateur?!

you need to add flour and egg to the mac and cheese btw

I tried it three times- each one longer than the next - the crust started to burn before the middle cooked all the way on the last one. Thus I think the belgian is too deep

No. That's why I assumed instead of asked.

Can you adjust the heat on your waffle maker? Maybe a lower heat.

Or maybe the Belgian is just too deep (I date a Belgian once and can confirm this). Sucks for all those Europeans that can't have waffled Mac and Cheese.

this is probably my favorite chili i've made yet. pressure cooker FTW.

i used to make something like this all the time, too.
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/13010/whit ... ken-chili/
except i'd ramp up the mexican spices x 10. i'd season the chicken before hand and cook the whole breasts over medium/medium low in a skillet. add the chicken with everything else and let it simmer for 30 minutes or so. comes out pretty great. you can use red/black bean instead of white. a beans a bean.


doing this. thing is tomorrow at three. if i make it tomorrow morning i should be good right?

gonna try wegmans for the peppers. probably should try whole foods first on the way home too.
