I’m makin either Pork Roast or Ribeye for dinner tonight..?

Hey Cold!

If you decide to make Rib Eye, how about serve them open faced on some toasted, thick sliced bread (like Sourdough). Using the Pan drippings, make a little roux (flour and a little more butter), cook, add red wine or beef stock (or heck, even some water – glaze the roux with a little more butter) and pour over the Steak Sandwich.

Serve with side salad or some veggies?

Quick and easy!

What’s the best seasoning for chicken, so it doesn’t taste so plain?

Hey Beaute,

While I love to cook, I am known to get lazy! When I don’t have the time to marinate or use rubs… blah, blah, blah — I use the simplest cooking method I can think of:

Cut up chicken pieces – season with salt and pepper or Mrs. Dash.

Jar of Medium to Hot (Hot is better) Salsa. Any brand.

Put chicken in pan (no need to brown), cover with Salsa, Bake at 350 for 30/45 minutes (juices should run clear and a fork stuck in the side of the thickest piece of meat should be able to easily pull the meat off the bone). Serve with Warm Tortilla’s and Rice or Beans.

It’s simple, healthy and taste alot like “El Pollo Loco”.

Also, try the above method but substitute Marinara Sauce for Salsa (add some crushed Red Pepper flakes for a little extra heat), and Serve over Noodles with Garlic Bread.

TOLD YOU I COULD BE LAZY!

your best recipes which do not use: cheese, sour cream, cream?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Wink,

I know too many recipes to list them here, but I look at your question as “How do you make creamy dishes without the ingredients listed?”

My favorite this to do is to make a Rouix (also spelled Rue and Roux).

Equal parts of:

Flour

Fat (use butter, but you can use oil or lard)

Melt your fat in a sauce pan, add the flour (sprinkle around the pan) and cook this down until it has a light brown / golden color, (you can cook longer, as dark as you want — but the flavor will become nuttier and nuttier) USE A WHISK – It will prevent clumping.

When you feel that this has cooked enough for your needs, you can flavor it with whatever you like (Mushrooms, Herbs, etc). Add some stock (chicken, vegetable or even water. Whisk this in. The more you whisk the smoother it will become.

What you will have is a creamy sauce, like a cheese sauce.

Hope this helps,

Where can I get Foie Gras in Southern California?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Mike,

I am surprised at you. If you have been to Pamplemousse then I am sure you have heard of several of my favorite eateries that also carry Foie Gras:

Jack’s La La Jolla, on Girard

Arterra – Marriott Carmel Valley on El Camino Real (It is Bradley Ogden’s place.)

Laurel – Fifth Ave. and Laurel St. (Across from Balboa Park)

Bertrand @ Mr. “A”‘s – Fifth and Laurel (Across from Laurel Rest)

910 Steak House – La Jolla (It’s in the Grande Colonial)

Ruth Chris’ Steak House – Across from Horton Plaza

Stingaree – Located on 6th near “J” Street (Naomi Wise from the Reader just reviewed this restaurant either this or last week).

They used to serve it at the U.S. Grant’s – Grant Grille. The Grant opens in September – I don’t know if they will have it on the menu.

As you can see from the names, none of these places will have this liver dish on the cheap.

Some of the places that I have mentioned may have pulled it from their menu over the past year, but these are the places that I remember in San Diego.

You also mention Southern California. There are a Ton of places up and down the coast (all over Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Beverly Hills, Bel Air) If this list isn’t enough, send me a note and I will list some of the places that I remember from LA area.

Hope I helped!

Can you actually go & sit & eat in a Hineybaked Ham Co., or do you have to take the food home?

Hey Eric,

There are two of the hiney’s here! One is in the mall and only sells the meat to go!

The other is in a strip mall and they sell everything plus sandwhiches (with those hiney baked slices on them). Plus if I remember, beans or a salad or something weird color on the side.

Nuttin fancy, just those sweet smellin hineys!

buca di beppo in the woodlands (texas)–menu prices, selections?

Hey Stino,

I was asked a very similar question a few days ago. So I will digest all of the answers to this page:

1). Food: Olive Garden on Shared Plates

2). Prices: Olive Garden

3). Noise: As loud as your neighborhood bar

4) Atmosphere: a Cool Olive Garden

5). WAIT: 4 EVER! They don’t take reservations so depending on the popularity of the location you are going to you will wait an hour or more (standing!) for your table.

6). What the reviewers are saying: I’ve read two reviews, they both basically said:

” Best bet: The meatballs ”

OK, So I will wait for 1+ hour for the meatballs … :-s

7). What to bring: TUMS! I’ve been twice, needed them both times.

8). SAVING GRACE! THEY HAVE BOOZE!

Good Eating (?) !
