wafflesnsegways posted:The recipes are as bland as ever, though. I find that Bittman's recipes are always quite sound, as long as you're willing to up the salt, usually to around 150% or so. I came down with a nasty fever last weekend and got laid up for a couple of days. I'm over most of it now, but I seemed to have lost my sense of smell. I can taste sweet, salty, sour, etc, but that's it. Everything tastes so samey. This is a huge bummer.

Yeah, that was my fault: wasn't checking my PMs. Also, being retarded. Hopefully I can get that fixed.TECHNICAL Thug posted:

Bunny Ears Lawyer posted:Do any of you have an idea of what meats go well with blue cheese sauce and pasta? In the pasta, or next to it? The only meat I would mix into the pasta would be beef, but honestly, I'd just as soon not add any meat to it at all. The blue cheese is going to overpower pretty much anything you put in there, so why not let it be the star? I'd just add some wilted spinach and toasted walnuts and call it a meal.

Bunny Ears Lawyer posted:In or on the top. You could give it a shot, but ingredients that work well layered in a sandwich won't necessarily work as well all mixed up in pasta. If you like the combination of pepperoni and blue cheese though, then by all means go for it. It's not going to end up being bad, by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm checking it out tomorrow with some people who are beyond excited about it, which always makes me a bit nervous. I saw Fellowship of the Ring with a huge Tolkien fan and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Sjurygg posted:Armenian khorovadz. If it weren't for all the delicious chewy cheesy pita bread and lahmajouns I'd have eaten it for every meal when I was down there. Is there anything that differentiates khorovadz from other kebabs in the Middle East? My family ended up in Lebanon after the genocide, so lately, I've been finding out that most of the "Armenian" foods I grew up on are actually Lebanese.

bartolimu posted:I work with a bunch of people who think "cooking" is throwing the Lean Cuisine in the microwave for three minutes. Our potlucks suck. On the bright side, I've become some kind of office culinary god because I don't bring Costco sandwich trays or Rotel-Velveeta nacho dip. People ask me for cooking advice. It feels weird when a 40-something mother of three comes to me to learn the basics of making a hamburger. I'd kill for something like that. Whenever our office throws a potluck, most people just mooch. Someone will bring a vegetable platter with ranch from the supermarket down the street, a few people toss in some expired snack-cakes their kids didn't get to in time, and my boss invariably brings her slowcooker, bubbling with cocktail meatballs and some strange, near-black sauce that's sweeter than candy.

Heading off to Montreal for a little mini-vacation. Anyone have suggestions for things to do or joints to hit? So far, I've got Schwartz's and La Banquise on the list, and Pied De Cochon if we stumble into a stack of free money en route.

Serendipitaet posted:Get some Montreal-style bagels at St. Viateur or Fairmount Bagel. Poutineville you say? I'll have to check that out. To be honest, I've never been that big on poutine, but every time I mention that to someone, they always say "You've just never had good poutine", which gets annoying. Ideally, I want to find the One True Poutine, just to see if I maintain ambivalence.

Montreal trip report: definitely had my opinion on poutine changed. poo poo's dynamite. Also, Schwartz's was amazing, but the hefty Bostonians we were seated with wouldn't shut up about American tax law the entire time, for some reason. We proceeded to run into them three more times during the course of the trip with similar results.

Lyssavirus posted:I hate the texture of pickled beets, and when I was a kid I was once forced to eat them until I threw up. I still can't eat pickled beet without gagging a little. I love the flavor in other applications, though. If you like the flavour but not the texture, try making refrigerator pickled beets. They don't get processed, so they stay really crunchy.

It's a fun thread with goofy posts and a narrow focus. It'll either adapt, or stagnate and die. I don't see any reason start poo poo in it.
