Re: [CnD] Cooking lamb chopsHello to everyone on the list, Hello to everyone on the list, I was wondering if anyone on the list knew how to cook lamb chops? Something I’ve wanted to do but never have

2021-01-17 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark

Two other additions.  Rosemary on the chops before baking.
After baking maybe mint jelly to put on chops as a type of sauce.  Mint 
jelly is a traditional condiment for lamb chops.  I really enjoy lamb 
chops and rack of lamb but it's an acquired taste and not everybody has 
acquired that taste.
I had some really tasty goat curry once too a few years ago with onions 
peppers and a really tasty gravy made by a store.  That's another acquired 
taste.  One thing my Mother did right was to make certain I had acquired 
many of the tastes before I was 3 years old and it has served me well ever 
since.

Hello:

The best and easiest way to cook lamb chops I found has been in the oven. 
After I season therm with garlic, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper, Iline a 
baking sheet with foi, cover the chops with a loose tent of foil. Then I   
put them in the oven at 400 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes depending on the 
thickness of the lamb chop. Hope this helps. I find it very easy, and they 
come out so good.

I think what was being referred to was your crockpot smothered chicken 
recipe.  Seamed would be s followed by dot 2 then m then the ed sign and 
smothered would be s followed by dot 5 then m then the ed sign, probably a 
braillo as opposed to a typo.  I hope this helps.

Then I pour a soda in the crockpot. This is supposed to soft the pork.

When it is done about 7 to 8 hours it will chop real easy and you can put some 
barbecue saue in it to mix and perhaps[s a bit of maple syrup and/or brown

When I was a single mom, I was content with recipes like corn chowder and
other vegetarian stuff. But my other half is a meat and potatoes kind of
guy. So do any of you have any types of recipes that you would like to

I?m thinking something along the line of recipes with affordable cuts of
meat or maybe even chicken legs and thighs.

Have a wonderful weekend

If you enjoy cleaning your crockpot once you've got the food out of it, 
you must not use a crockpot liner.

crockpot liners are disposible and made from plastic and you line the pot 
with one of those before putting anything in the liner.  When finished 
cooking, you open the pot gather the top of the liner together and lift 
the liner out of the pot.  Put the liner's contents into a plate or bowl 
and go on from there.  No crockpot cleanup or very little is needed that 
way.  Liners are marked with quart capacities so get the liners that match 
your crockpot's capacity.

No, this pancake doesn't need any levening agent. It's also called a
Dutch Baby, and my aunts used to call it a "Jane Eyre Pancake." It's
delicious, it puffs way up without any baking powder or soda. The
eggs, and the oven heat make it rise. The batter is very similar to
popover batter.

It's delicious with fresh fruit, such as sweetened blueberries or
strawberries, or apples or pears saut?ed in butter and sweetened with
a little maple syrup.

Old World Puff Pancake

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

3 eggs

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Powdered sugar

Lemon wedges

Syrup, optional

Place butter in a 10 inch ovenproof skillet; place in a 425 degree oven for
2 to 3 minutes, or until melted. Place the eggs, milk, flour, sugar and
nutmeg in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour into prepared
skillet. Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 16 to 18 minutes, or until
puffed and browned. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with lemon wedges and
syrup, if desired.

Note:

Be sure the oven is preheated to 425 degrees before putting the skillet into
the oven. A cast-iron skillet is a helpful tool because it heats up more
quickly than other metals and makes a better puff.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.  Mama's Corner.

can do this with time and patience, and lots of practice and errors
along the way. Then one day, it will just work for you.
As for getting them round, they might stay round if you use a third or

If you have problems your batter might need to be made thinner or
thicker. I like thinner better, making thinner pancakes, but that's

[CnD] an idea for rice

2020-12-27 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
If you're putting rice and water in the pot to cook, try putting a couple 
teaspoons of peanutbutter into the pot too.  When the rice is finished 
cooking, stir the rice just before serving to move the peanutbutter all 
through the rice.
Inexpensive and if you have no meat or fish or don't want to use either a 
way to add a little fat and protein into the diet.

If I make a Dutch Baby, that gets baked without flipping and comes out 
with no problems.
I think that recipe was posted on this list a long time ago and I will say 
that recipe makes one of the four different best pancakes I ever ate.
My Grandmother's potato pancakes were another of the four.  The third one 
were crepes, and the fourth were Johnny cakes.  The nice thing about 
Johnny cakes is they cool and travel well.

you tried too early. The top should be almost dry with just a few bubbles
left on the top. If there is a lot of liquid on top, don't try to turn it
yet. If it smells like it is starting to burn but isn't ready to turn, your
heat is up too high. It takes practice, but you can do this with time and
patience, and lots of practice and errors along the way. Then one day, it
will just work for you.
As for getting them round, they might stay round if you use a third or half
cup measure to pour from and keep your hand steady as you pour. If you have
problems your batter might need to be made thinner or thicker. I like
thinner better, making thinner pancakes, but that's just me. If I had my
way, all pancakes would resemble crepes in nature. But thicker ones might be
easier to flip if you have enough patience to wait for them to cook enough
first.
Good luck, and have fun.

Subject: [CnD] pancakes

Hi,

I've never been a breakfast guy. However, I thought I would make pancakes.

So I did. Now, I've seen YouTube vids where folks use milk, egg and butter,
some use water.  What's the difference between using either or?

Also, how can I get the pancakes to be in a circle when I'm done? Let's say
I'd like to make multiple pancakes. The one pancake I made today just
collapsed when trying to flip them over.

Thank you for any thoughts.

A snack I miss was Danish Go-rounds.  Those were much better than Pop
Tarts and if our troops in Afghanistan had shared Danish Go-rounds
rather than Pop Tarts probably a few more of them would have survived.

Sometimes an M will fit inside a bugle but not always; when they do
they have to be inserted gently since bugles are fragile.

I don't have the package since these were packed in a snack bag along with
other snacks.  I'm pretty sure these are made from corn with a cheese
flavor and they're long triangle-shaped.  The narrow point is closed and
the narrow end of the triangle is open.  The triangles are somewhat flat.
A little bit of dip could be put into the narrow end of the triangle since
the chips are open on the narrow end and closed on the narrow point.

[CnD] nuwave oven warning

2020-10-15 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
bamboo plates and bowls if put in a nuwave oven for 4 minutes will start
to smoke and the plate or bowl will come out of the oven warped and
damaged.  Nuwave is not compatible with bamboo.  I had first hand
experience with this earlier and sent the message on it while the list was
still in disarray.

[CnD] nuwave oven warning

2020-10-12 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
--- Begin Message ---
Bamboo plates and bowls are best never put in a nuwave oven.  The oven
will start burning the bamboo and if left in the oven for more than 4
minutes the plates and bowls will start smoking and deform.  Possibly a
few minutes longer and you may need a fire truck to come and help you out.
I deformed a plate badly enough I needed to trash it.  Bamboo plates may
have been available several years ago, but if so I never knew this about
the Nuwave oven being incompatible with bamboo.

Re: [CnD] BC Outrageous Stacked Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe - BettyCrocker.com

2020-09-23 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
You probably held one and weren't told what it was.  The clip starts
with a piece of metal that can hold papers.  On the side that doesn't
hold papers, it has two small handles.  To open the clip, squeeze the
handles together and insert whatever needs holding.  Then leave the
handles alone and the clip closes.

It takes technical know-how, but it is possible to sync orgmode with a
pc or mac computer when it's on a phone.  I've never done that yet

orgmode is separate from emacs in iPhone and Android environments.

store has smart phone apps and you can search for items and the
information that's retrieved is the aisle where the product is found in
the store.  Maybe your store doesn't have an app, or maybe it doesn't
show aisle numbers I don't know.

search for emacs for windows and you'll not only find the program but
instructions for correct installation.  Inside emacs is org-mode it
comes with the package.

I already have a second talking microwave oven.  The first was hit by
lightning.  So long as the item works for a good number of years
spending on it is worthwhile.

[CnD] NuWave oven accessibility

2020-09-15 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
On the current model of NuWave ovens are the spring-loaded buttons still
available?  That or a touch panel with tactile indicators would work.  If
not, recommendations for better competitors will be appreciated.  I bought
the black oven back in 2012 and my Sister wants to buy me a new one since
this one isn't looking so good even after cleaning.

When I do shopping lists, I use org-mode which is a  part of emacs since
it produces well-formatted lists.
* produce
- [ ] avacado

The item with the star points at the store section.
The item with the empty brackets is something to buy and then put an X
inside those brackets.
But then again, that's just me.  For anyone with an interest, emacs can
be installed on machines running windows in addition to mac and Linux

[CnD] range set questions

2020-09-14 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
Have we any cooks who use or have used a range set of connoisseur 30?
I've never used one of these and have no idea of its age or present
condition yet.  A real cook told me he would test it for me to see what is
and isn't working on it.
The stove burners on the bottom have a raised oven above them held up by a
metal back plate and all controls are positioned above the oven in a line
going from left to right.  No touch panels on this model so far as I can
tell either.

Re: [CnD] Cutting a cantaloupe

2020-09-05 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
If you partly cut into a mellon then roll that mellon forward some and
continue cutting the mellon unless it's really ripe usually holds
together until the cut you made goes mostly around the mellon getting a
stable cutting area that doesn't suddenly collapse on you and making
your knife do unpredictible things.  I found use of a serated knife most
effective for cutting mellons too.

Re: [CnD] Substituting Carrots for Zucchini in Bread?

2020-08-24 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
Those carrots had extreme violence done to them.  Were I to try adding a
little juice to them, I'd wait a few minutes to see if the pulp had
started to rehydrate.  If that fails, to the compost pile with the pulp.
 The earthworms will have a treat even if we don't.

I felt carrot pulp after having done some juicing myself.  It's as dry
as dry string.  It would make for good roughage in a bread but no more
than that.  That bread would need some increased flavoring to make it
edible once carrot pulp had been added.

Re: [CnD] Homemade taco seasoning

I liked pico de gallo piquante sauce better than any of those salsas now

If you're in WalMart, some idiot manufacturers mis-labeled jars of
jalapinio peppers as nachos.  So if you can't find your jalapinios,
that's why.

Re: [CnD] DH FROSTING IN THE CAKE

2020-08-21 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
Duncan Hines before it became a brand was an actual chef.  Same thing
with Chef Boy ardee and his last name I probably didn't spell correctly
and he had the spelling of his original name changed before it became a
brand.  We can probably file all of this under cooking trivia.  Maybe a
new category for a future version of trivial pursuit.

Re: [CnD] Yesterday's nostalgic lunch

2020-08-21 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
I'm strange, the gummyer the better!  Easier to eat that way and if the
rice has good flavors in it it holds onto them better being gummy.  Our
cook made us fake rice that was made from zuccini and it was tastey and
gummy.

Then again, I've been strange from the beginning since I like my oatmeal
on the thick side and my Mother found that out when she tried feeding me
oatmeal for the first time.

All reptiles and birds are related so will either taste like chicken or
some variant of chicken.  Ostrich from my experience is on the gaimy end
but then an ostrich egg when laid weighs 25 pounds and fully grown
they're big birds.

I have no problem eating duck or goose either, however I draw the line
at road kill and rabbit.  The bones in rabbit are sharp and rabbit has
to be harvested and eaten at the right time of year unless you want
rabbit's worms to punch your reincarnation ticket which they most
definitely shall do.

I don't think I've ever eaten shepherd's pie made with lamb either and
find that curious.

Good, if you bought seeds for peppers those are self-polinators and

Beef prices are at sticker shock level in the United States along with

Pork chicken and turkey remain available.  If this keeps up, goats duck

Re: [CnD] Broken Glass in Garbage Disposal

2020-08-20 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
That's a call to Maintenance and I bet Maintenance will call a Plumber
in to handle this one.  The Plumber likely will remove the disposal then
flip it so it empties shards into a box then reinstall the disposal if
it hasn't been used since the shards fell into the disposal.  If the
disposal got used after the shards fell into the disposal the Plumber
won't even bother emptying the shards and simply box the disposal and
replace the disposal with a new disposal unit.

Re: [CnD] Labeling Decisions: cutting straight

2020-08-19 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
Well now, you might try this the next time you need to tear a
perforation.  Fold the perforation both ways before tearing.
I remember once a student came to a Professor at Delaware Valley College
once and said his password to log onto the computer didn't work.
The Professor asked him if a student or professor had given him the
password.  The student said a professor had given him the password but
didn't remember which professor.  The Professor asked the student if he
had the paper the login information was written and the student had the
paper and gave it to the professor.  The Professor told the student that
a student assistant gave him that paper because the perforations were
ragged.  The professor told the class that all Professors at Delaware
Valley College always fold their perforations both ways so the
perforations tear easily and cleanly.  I use that technique even today
when I open food packages and it works as advertised for me.

Actually no, #100 weight is good for everyday use and to feed a slate
and stylus.  Now #200 weight is what to buy if you want it to last, good
enough for braille signs.  Just be careful you make no braille errors
since dots on #200 weight are really tough to braille unless your name
is Rowdy Roddy Piper and you can really put the smack down on those
dots.

The technical term to use in the stationery shop is #100 weight card
stock.  It even comes in larger sheets and not labeled as braille paper
you pay less.

First time I had BUCKEYES I bought them at a Cracker Barrel Country
Store.  Probably invented in Ohio and maybe even at Ohio State
University several years ago since the University's Mascott is the
BUCKEYE.

If you have an android device with at least 2GB of memory, you can
download google look out for it.  Google look out reads labels not bar
codes so it may work better for you.  Also google crowd source is
building several ground truth data bases one of which is for labels.  If
you speak more than one language, you can participate in each language
in google crowd source and help all of us out by adding to data bases in
each of those languages.

No need to sew to get this done.  Once elastic is cut to correct length
with length of label added to fit around item, tie a knot in one end of
elastic.  Pull it through one hole until knot cannot go through that
hole.  Put other end of elastic through other hole then tie a knot in
that end of the elastic.  Then put the label around the item with
braille facing out.

I haven't checked this out, but it may be easier buying milar strips
rather than dymo tape for labels.  These can't stick so sewing elastic
and a punch will be necessary.

inch wide tape suitable for brailling will give you 2 lines on which to
braille and that way you have enough space for expiration dates too.
Where inch wide dymo tape or equivalent is found I have no clue.

Not only that, consider glue bases.  They're either water or saline
(salt water).  Those will not survive long in freezers.  Also additional
to item identification however you choose to do it with a traditional
label or a unique number supported by a brailled key with matching
numbers on it and traditional label identifications beside them on the
key) it's necessary to put expiration dates on freezer items so items
get removed and trashed at or beyond expiration dates.  This is a board
of health requirement for places serving the public and should be no
different in people's homes.

Re: [CnD] Way Out of my Comfort Zone

2020-08-18 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
Maybe a stiff cooky sheet under the loaf pan might work better.  Your
problem in this case appears to be good hand control with a lack of
concentration on balance of what is being removed from the oven.  If you
have an oven shelf that can be either partially or completely removed,
maybe first slide the shelf out part way before trying to take what is
on the shelf off the shelf.  This way it's a straight lift up and
transport to a cool surface.  What I can tell you now is several years
ago I did Thanksgiving dinner with a 20 pound turkey in a disposible
roasting pan and killed the oven removing that turkey the same way a
folding pie messed up another oven.  The oven had to be replaced when I
moved to another apartment and was out of action until I left that
apartment.  So been there; done that, and got the T-shirt to prove it.

That could work so long as boiling water doesn't get poured directly
onto the dough.  Maybe with the loaf back a little in the oven that
wouldn't happen and use of a pizza peal for inserting and removing the
loaf would be a good idea.

This could be done differently with a bluetooth cooking thermometer
paired to a smart device.  Put the water in the pan cold.
Put the thermometer in the oven and close then turn the oven on.  If you
can get oven set to at least 212F or 100C let it heat water until your
smart device tells you you're on target temperature.  Then put your loaf
in and close the oven again and increase the temperature for the loaf if
necessary.

Use a hand crank can opener on the can.  If you normally crank with your
right hand and turn the crank or lever forward, try turning that lever
backward.  Out of desperation I figured that one out and I've been told
by others I've shared this tip with that it works like a charm.

Put the eggs in the steamer store bought or improvised with water in
bottom of steamer.  Bring water to rolling boil.  Steam eggs for 4
minutes.  Remove eggs to ice water to cool.  When cool enough to handle
peel.

The tip about steaming eggs rather than boiling them had the following
results over at Family And Friends kitchen.
Immediately after steaming eggs were put into ice water.
It took the cook 3 minutes to peel 36 eggs and all of them came out
perfect with no shell left in the egg salad.
Usually with boiling it takes the cook a half hour to peel all of those
hard boiled eggs.  That tip saved him lots of time and he told me he'll
never boil an egg again.
If you're going to make deviled eggs, turn each egg in the carton
upsidedown and let them alone for a week.  The yolks will be in the
centers of the eggs when you steam them and that makes nicer deviled eggs.

Panini are actually pressed toasted sandwiches since once they come out
of the panini maker which is a press the edges of those sandwiches are
sealed.

Re: [CnD] Easy to use pour over coffee device

2020-06-03 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
My Mother while she was alive had a Milita pour over coffee system.  It
had two pieces.  The small one was a cloth funnel.  The big one was a
ceramic funnel into which the cloth funnel and coffee fit.  Then you put
your own cup or mug under it to pour.

I wonder, does that World Market handle Fair Trade items?  I like to buy
Fair Trade items when possible.

Re: [CnD] Pouring hot liquids.

2020-06-02 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
Hot liquids can be poured safely without need of electronics if done
correctly.
The rul to keep in mind is to always stand right or left and behind the
gunner.  Your pouring is ahead of and to the left or right of your
sensor finger.  That way you have the steam ahead of your sensor hand
and don't get confused by the steam hitting your sensor hand before the
liquid level hits your properly placed sensor finger.

Re: [CnD] How to pour liquids.

2020-06-01 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
Lukewarm liquids can be poured too but you need to be able to hear
splashing to do it effectively.  When you pour lukewarm liquids with
your finger at the top of the cup bend and straighten the finger you use
to sense the liquid and listen for a splash.  The finger shouldn't go do
wn below the depth in the container where you want the liquid.  When you
hear the first splash stop pouring.

Anyone using a french press after pouring water over coffee in the pot
needs to stir the coffee in the pot for a minute before pressing.
Otherwise a french press will be about as bad as instant coffee.  That
stirring gets the flavors into the water before you press.

The best coffee I ever drank came from a percolator before Mr. Coffee
was marketed.  The next best I drink now is from a french press.  The
pour over method I tried a few times and I consider that worse than the
French Press, and drip from Mr. Coffee would be worse than pour over
with all instant coffee worse than drip coffee.  I drink coffee for the
cafiene and the flavor and if it hasn't got both, I'll drink the tea.

26 Coffee filters are great for cleaning cell phones glasses and

I prefer a French Press for making coffee and anyone who tried filtered
coffee and coffee from a french press where the coffee was made

Re: [CnD] Gas or electric stoves which is better?

2020-05-28 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
1) simple, have the pilot light disabled if you use existing stove.
Then you have a rock near the stove along with a pack of 2 inch kitchen
matches.  Use the rock to strike the match then turn the gas on and put
the flame near the gas.  No safety problem since the pilot light is off.
2) Chinese cooking is best done with gas since electric cannot get the
heat up high enough for chinese cooking.
3) When your power goes out this summer thanks to Covid-19, you can
still cook with gas.

I hope the people that sold me those nuwave ovens got counterfeit Hobart
accessories to sell with those ovens.  The party mixer turned out to be
loaded with Chinese export rice and I trashed that soon after having

Re: [CnD] slow cooker Albondigas

2020-05-26 Thread Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark
When we've had albondigas at quakertown farmer's market they weren't
made that way.  What got done at the Farmer's Market was the meatballs
were made then encased in mashed potatoes then deep fried.  Those were
really good!

Very probably the pampered chef can sell you a panini press and that
press may come with printed recipes.

Noone on this list is in or from Senegal but if they were, you'd have
plenty of interesting recipes.  Only thing is, Senegal likes their
coffee strong and their fish spicey.
