Digest for rec.food.cooking@googlegroups.com - 25 updates in 6 topics

jmcquown <j_mcquown@comcast.net>: Feb 23 12:56PM -0500

I found a package of lamb shoulder blade chops, each with a nice bit of
meat on them, three for under $8. Took them out to thaw for tomorrow's
dinner.
 
If the weather isn't rainy tomorrow I plan to grill them. If it's rainy
(which is likely) I'll use the grill pan on the stove top. Either way
I'll brush them with a bit of neutral oil, S&P and some minced garlic.
And crushed dried rosemary and dried thyme.
 
I used to dislike dried rosemary but that was dried rosemary which was
like sharp pine needles. Finely crushed using a pestle and mortar and
used *sparingly*, it's quite nice on lamb.
 
I haven't decided what to cook with the lamb chops yet. Lots of things
to choose from!

Yes, apparently this poster is also an authority on salt. LOL It's
clear the term "kosher" sets it off.

Quite possibly. The poster is also on the vegan and gluten free
bandwagon. Lots of *boring* drums to beat.

I sometimes have one and yes it nukes well, you leave it in the carton
and the lid seems to have some sort of lining and that must be what
stops the pastry going completely soggy in the nuker. Stouffers I
think, comes in a small red box.

Just the nickname was a pretty clear sign, Dave. I hadn't checked the
ng for a couple of days. When I came back and started reading there it
was... and gone in a couple of clicks. Can't wait to see if it morphs
if enough people stop engaging it.

You're at it again! Islamic immigrants in Halifax have their mosques
but I notice they are about as fervent as the average Christian is.

Yes, the red box! Stouffer's. Did it taste good?
 
Of most any frozen brand, I like Stouffer's when it comes to frozen
entrees. I still buy their Spinach Souffle. Not only does it taste
good to me, it's a memory that started when I was a teen. Mom bought it
and served it with dinner. Back then, yes, it came in a metal pan and
was cooked in the oven. It's a fond memory and she and I both continued
to buy it over the years. I still do. These days it is in a tray which
can be microwaved OR baked in the oven, just remove the film on top.
 
I haven't tried Stouffer's pot pie. Maybe I should. I wasn't at all
impressed by the Marie Callender pot pie. It was very bland.

With as much respect as may be due, should they not be allowed. There
seems to be no end to religious indoctrination in our society. Between
public prayers, JWs and Mormons going door to door, sets of crosses on
hillsides overlooking highways, televangelists on radio and television,
it is hard to avoid it. We have a lot of different religions in the
world, and a different denominations, sects and cults within them. I
would say that it is fair to hear the other side.

Good luck with that. Some people here insist on engaging the troll and
the pathological liars that have inhabited the group.

Gosh, I haven't run into any of that in more than 35-40 years or more.
Or maybe I just don't notice it.

Fair to hear the other side. This is a cooking newsgroup Sorry, not
interested in religious or anti-religious crap. Find some other forum
which will address your local issues with door to door religion,
crosses, etc.
 
As for televangelists and radio broadcasts, change the channel or turn
the damn thing off. No one is forcing you to watch or listen. I, for
one, don't have those issues. I sure as hell don't want to hear it
debated on RFC.

The last time I saw a JW or a Mormon I was probably in my late 20's. So
that was 30 years ago. If he's still being bothered by them maybe he
needs to move. ;) He can always change the channel on the radio or the
television. I don't listen to any of crap. It's easy enough to avoid.

A trade mark of this guy is he's been too lazy to fact check his
arguments to see whether they will hold water. Somehow he got a
computer and found all the social media for lonely people and has
glommed onto specious arguments he has seen there.

I tried a MC one about 2 years ago. Good, but I wasn't overly
impressed as compared to the cheaper brands Especially as it
cost twice as much or more on sale.
 
Forgetting about the ingredient lists for a moment Bruce and
Ed....
I've never seen or tried the Swanson chicken pot pies but I have
tried a few others. I had a Banquet one just last week from my
freezer. Bought two on sale a few months ago for 88 cents each.
No where near good as a homemade one which I do make lately, but
for 88 cents I have no complaints.
 
Here's how I learned to cook mine.
Baking in an oven forever is worthless by itself.
 
I use a pyrex bowl with a small plate to cover as a lid.
- put 1/2 cup corn in bowl (or any other favorite veggie)
- add 1/4 cup water (RO water for ny people here)
- 1 frozen Banquet pot pie
- put on lid and microwave until about half done
- chop up the crust and stir all together then
replace lid and cook until it's all very hot
 
The extra vegetable(s) that you add are welcome.
The chopped up microwaved crust is just like dumplings.
The extra water just keeps it from being like a thick paste.
Eat with one buttered roll or slice of white bread and
you've got a decent enough meal. (not for the picky eaters)
 
They don't use foil pans but paper microwaveable pans.
This is also one dish that people with teeth issues can
blend and eat as a very thick puree. Very tasty and nothing
to chew on.
 
I haven't been there yet, but I've been experimenting with
soft foods in advance just I'll know things I can do maybe
someday. This is a good one.
 
Finally note: Always best to make from scratch and I do that
mostly now. Always better but never "just as easy to make
from scratch). Often time is a factor and only a quick meal win.

For $0.35 each, I would have bought all they had left.
Cheap, decent enough quickie dinner.
 
Cook it my way with 1/2 cup corn in the microwave, add a slice of
buttered bread and you get a small, satisfying dinner for about
$0.50. Bigger appetite? Just cook another.

It is possible to use regular recipes with an airfryer, you just have
to learn your machine and how it compares to your oven as far as
cooking times.... same goes for fried foods

Yes, and I do! But Ken is asking for help!

There's that preaching platform again: gluten. Pbbbt. I don't care if
saltines have kosher salt in or on them, either. Nor the peanut butter,
for that matter. PB crackers are a tasty snack! :)

If gluten makes him sick, then he shouldn't eat it. Nor should he be
surprised if others talk about foods with gluten.
 
Oddly enough, the saltines I bought today said "sea salt". Plain old
Premium saltines.

Rank Arena, WTF kinda name is that? A London-based entertainment
company, how odd. Makes me think of the smell of stale popcorn and
20 years worth of spilled beer and soda (kinda like how the Civic
Arena smelled before they blew it up).

And another reason I love my Discover card! I buy my CBD oil via LazarusNaturals.com and THEY TAKE Discover as payments! And I JUST ordered another backup 120ml bottle of 1800mg CBD oil for my Cuppa Plus'!
