Mmmm, imogen, can I come to your house? It's too hot to cook these past few days (only our heater or air can work at one time, and right now it's our heater-- while it's 85 or 90 degrees out); we've been having salads, pizza, and sandwiches. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Sure ketchupqueen - you come to me and I'll cook whatever you want.
By the way the periyukas were *great*. Tony has put in a request for more already. I used sauerkraut for the filling. Yum yum yum yum.
The only thing was they floated at the start - I guess there must have been air trapped inside. No biggy though 'cos I just judged when they were cooked by their appearance and it all worked fine.

Oh, yeah. Sometimes, especially with the sauerkraut ones, they do that. I don't know why, my dad's never do. I usually poke them down and put more on top and wait for them to come up again. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

If anyone who is doing WeightWatchers would like to know how many points per serving these recipes are, let me know. I will pop them into my handy dandy online recipe calculator and let you know.

I served Imogen's Jeera Chicken and Hobbes' naan to the missionaries last night, along with other Indian foods, and they looooved it. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it KQ. One thing I didn't mention is that since your frying butter you should probably turn on your range's fan to it's highest setting or you'll get a lot of excess smoke. Sometimes you do anyways...

The ghee we get here is shelf-stable, on the shelves with the other Indian foods. It comes in a little jar with a metal lid, like Devonshire clotted cream.

When in doubt, Alton Brown can always help:
quote:Store in airtight container being sure to keep free from moisture. Ghee does not need refrigeration and will keep in airtight container for up to 1 month.
This stuff is really good. I found the recipe in a magazine, and ended up changing it a little bit. Since then, it has become my specialty, and I'm well known for it.
(edit: I realise it's not on the "jatraquero recipe site", but I wanted to share it anyway.)

So while biking home from school today I stopped by the grocery store to pick up some needed supplies, and saw an absolutely beautiful cut of tenderloin that was marked way down (way down!) and since I'd just read KQ's steak recipe I couldn't resist! I also picked up some garlic cloves (another good price) and now I'm all primed to make steak! I think I'll try it tomorrow if I have time.

I put up my key lime pie recipe. Though I probably shouldn't take the credit for it...I think it's pretty common where my husband's from.

Oooh, good for you, Hobbes! You'll make your roomies jealous. Just make sure you use kosher salt, it really does make all the difference. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Just added my mom's three-bean salad recipe. I feel a little guilty because I did it because I called her needing it for Easter dinner, and I posted it because it was easier to type it into the form than to write it down by hand... Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Excellent. Plus I used some extra garlic later on when I put it in a food processor with some water to make a garlic paste that I used on a pizza the next night.

I installed a new backup manager tonight, and thought I'd bump this to report progress and encourage more recipes. So far there are 105 recipes submitted by 23 people.
ketchupqueen, with 23, has widened her lead over Annie's 18.
If anyone wants to submit and doesn't have a username, just register on the site. I get an email about it and will give you edit rights as soon as I can.
The recipes do not have to be original as long as you are aren't copying word for word. Adaptations are especially welcome. It would be polite to credit the originator, even if you have changed it quite a bit.
So don't be shy. Memorialize some of those culinary achievements. Show us why coffee in chilli is a good idea!

Added our favorite onion soup, which we had for dinner two nights in a row, each time with Ceasar salad and sourdough bread. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Dag, I'm getting a thing when I try to log in saying that my login has been blocked, and to contact an administrator.

KQ: how does this compare to "French Onion" soup that restaurants serve with the bread and cheese on top? I'm no good at guessing from text.

Dag, I have a few I could put up, if you wnat....
I use to make a mean beef stew, and Jenni loves beanless chili.
Also, she makes killer cheesecake, and her grandma's cookie recipie is on a cookbook already.
I can do Cherries Jubalee and Bannanas Foster too, and make a mean Cesar salad from scratch. I use to work fine dining, and still remember how to do those, I am sure.

Goody: It's lighter, made with veggie as compared to beef stock. I make that, too, and that soup traditionally tastes a lot like beef, where this tastes like carmelized onions and butter, is thicker (kind of halfway between a soup and a stew) while this one is a fairly thin (although not watery) soup, and this one is much more subtle. It compliments a wide range of tastes, and doesn't leave you feeling like you just ate concentrated cow. (Not that I dislike that soup; I just think this one is even better. That soup has its place; this one's place, IMHO, is everywhere. )
