I froze up some egg and chorizo burritos to microwave for breakfast s once. It was great. I would recommend preparing the cooked toppings ahead of time and freezing portion-sized burrito-length strips from fresh off the stove. This way the freezer dries the stuff out a bit so when you reheat it's not too soggy.

I've started heating up my tortillas on a skillet until they start to lightly brown on both sides. it makes them slightly crispy and fluffy and gives an overall better flavor imo. I'm never gonna microwave a tortilla again

My Dad is an amazing and very good man who loves and appreciates fishies of all kinds but he also has the gout so he can't eat herring or dines so I need to eat enough for both of us and it's tough work.
Turns out you can get some okay deals on amazon on the fishies.

Hey...son...

Sorry it's been awhile.

I heard about the big move and all.

I'm sure you'll make some new friends here. You're an upstanding young person.

Anyhow, I wanted to share my new dip recipe:



I think it was...

mayonnaise, horseradish, lemon juice, diced shallots, salt/pepper, and some sumac and parsley for color and fun.

It was alright, but I thought I could just dip the Riga sprats into it and eat them like that. With chopsticks.

At that point I learned that Riga sprats have a great flavor and they're super cheap ($1.20 where I am now), but...

...they have terrible texture. Soft and mushy. You'd never notice on a cracker, so don't worry if you eat them like that.

So I mixed the rest of the can into the dip to make a smoked fish dip, and had it with vegetables. (The doctor...you know?)

Make that dip, invite over a special girl, and make me some grandkids some day.

Had another can of the Trader Joe's sardines in spring water this week, partly to see if my previous experience with them was an anomaly. Nope, I actually think they are surprisingly good. Sort of big and oddly-shaped, but the texture was good and they were tasty. Back to slumming with Bumblebee this week, though.

Burrito microwaves perfectly, even the cilantro came out tasting like it did when I put it in.

It takes a long time to come up to temp. Next time I will probably give it five minutes at 50% power (instead of half of that like I did this time) before finishing it off at 100%. This it in a beast of a microwave so if you have a farty little shitbox it'll take longer.

Sheep-Goats I have only ever had short ribs 72h sous vide and found them to be pungeantly beefy and interesting but overall a waste of energy.

What do you have to say for them? It seems like maybe you agree, but you are the guy who would be able to explain why they are good, if anybody can.

I kinda think of them as a better version of a pot roast.

I usually just brown them on all six sides and then put into a 300 oven for four hours in liquid. Strain the poix out of the liquid and reduce it. I usually make a kind of instant polenta by frying a little onion and then taking some of the reserved liquid (1-2 cups) and pouring corn meal into it in the pan I did the onion in and then serve it together.

You do have to do a lot of skimming -- usually I get most of the fat out after the browning step and then the rest after straining -- I have one kinda tall weird stainless steel bowl that I use for that because the narrower the vessel the easier the skim.

I like how beefy they are.

My biggest regret of my weekend was not buying those dehydrated anchovies I saw in Chinatown.

They looked perfect to just snack on like french fries. I was turned off by the smell of old fish but I momentarily forgot that's just Chinatown's natural musk.

I'm thinking of making an olive oil based sauce for some pasta tonight and I figure blending some fishies, parmesan, and some basil would make a good sauce. My wife came home with dines, canned sprats, and herring yesterday. Which would be best in a sauce?

What the hell is up with the herring family and names? Sardines/sprats/herring, it seems to be all the same. I don't know what to make of it. I'm a Gulf of Mexico kind of person, not a Baltic sea dude. I'm trying to learn about my dines, durnit.

Olive oil, garlic, some onion, 'dines or maybe sprats tossed in, a bunch of fresh parsley, maybe some capers if tou want to brighten it up, and a topping of toasted breandcrumbs once you've tossed it with pasta. Is good.

If you have anchovies or anchovy paste, add some when you saute broccoli rabe, aka broccolini, aka rapini, one of the best vegetables. Add olive oil (although the oil from the canned anchovies will also work), garlic, and hot chili flakes, and it goes great tossed with pasta or as a side dish with any rich, meaty Italian meal.

I hope my dad wants to go get that 5 gallon bucket of soy sauce to split soon, maybe I can tag along and look at fish (hopefully those dried anchovies!)/seaweed/other fun stuff at the chinese market :wiggle:

Need that soy sauce for jerky, hell yeah

I had some boneless/skinless KOs with chili paste the other day. I had a lot of things with chili paste.

I had a can of Trader Joe's 'dines in harissa yesterday, they were pretty satisfying on a hung-over Sunday.

Does anyone have some dad advice (dadvice?) on how to open and drain a can without making a huge loving mess? I generally crack the can open, then pour out as much oil as will come, then peel back the lid and remove. However when I'm draining the oil, it's running all over the outside of the can, and when I finally pull the lid loose it tends to jerk and spatter some oil around. I'd like to do 'dines for a work lunch more often but the risk of getting fishy olive oil everywhere makes that a challenge.

I dump mine in a mesh strainer over a bowl.
