What are you cooking tonight?

[kingbaby]

No regional would be with green chili, and that is pretty normal on a pie in these parts.
It doesn't fly on the Island Prison (NY) seeing they call a green flour based soup, green chili.
Me, I could live without it on anything, but people go crazy for the stuff here.

As far as the chicken & wht. cheese goes, that's West coast to the max! I can't see you partaking in that, Nic  (it sounded good to me, Punx)


 Quote: "You can get anchovies"

... I'm sorry

Regional pizza differences: In NY, chicken as a topping is rare. You can get anchovies, in addition to the usual: Pepperoni, Sausage, Onions, Mushrooms, various other veggies including eggplant.

I have heard of Hawaiian style with pineapple.

I was in Fargo, ND on business last December and my client, bringing pizza in for lunch, inquired if I wanted sauerkraut on it. Sauerkraut? On pizza?

The downward spiral of American civilization continues...

You are definitely right on there.  Sauerkraut and pizza should not be used in the same sentence.  Even though I just did, but to make a point.      Dominos used to (don't know if they still do) have a Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and ham.  It wasn't half bad.  Not something I'd go crazy over, though.

I looked, Dominos has that on their menu everywhere... Even prison island.

I know you can cook it up and I'm down with what it is. 

I'll order you a butchers apron the Ducati logo and reads "I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain...to eat vegetables!

   the best part is I got to thinking after reading this post, that with the weather cold and nasty, a spicy B.B.Q. , Grilled corn medallions, saute'd mushrooms, onions, red peppers, steamed cauliflower, and garlic bread, naturally washed down with a couple of Stella Artois...  sounds really good.   Shannon is making a crock pot of chili for tomorrow, so it's only fair I cook tonite, now to find some good beef country ribs, or pork spare ribs, or a couple racks of babyback, or.........

Not really tonight...

But, eggs in a basket with four strips of bad ass bacon.  MMMMMM

Barb's son and his family ordered pizza tonight from Dion's (sp?). I had a Greek salad (had to supply my own anchovies), but I did take a slice of the pizza with pineapple topping.

Hideous...

[kingbaby]

Grilled out lastnight, I did Rosemary chicken (no I didn't cook dusty), garlic papitas, grilled veggies & white corn on the cob that Karen has named corn doughnuts, why I'm still not sure, but the seasoning I use is damn yummy, and apple crisp for dessert (apples from Valarde, NM thanks to Pam)

All washed down with a little Bogle Phantom

..according to my son Dion's is the best we've got!

Neighbors invited us for lunch today when I got back from the Crest. It was one of the guys' mom's birthday. They ordered pizza from- where else- Dion's. I would rate it as good/OK. No, they didn't order a pineapple topping. The green chili and chicken topping was the best. the pepperoni was average.

Then I whipped together a quick dinner for 8 (Barb's son and his family, Barb's ex-husband and his SO). A quick red sauce for spaghetti with turkey sausages and turkey meatballs.

As I reminded Cloner this morning, we will be cooking when I'm back in December. I'm thinking of a movable feast: Perhaps a dinner a week for a few weeks, different home each time.

Discuss among yourselves.

Hey- I made tacos tonight for the first time. Not authentic, except maybe authentic nicasaurus-style. Whole-wheat tortilla, ground chicken, baby spinach, onion, feta cheese, diced red pepper and tomatoes. And tabasco (no chile's here). They tasted much better than they looked.

[ducducgooseme]

Holy crap those sound good.  Any leftovers you could send? 

[nicrosato]

I will be cooking in ABQ beginning Dec 10.

[nicrosato]

OK- I am here and I am in full-kitchen mode. It is therapy from my last week in NY, cleaning out and demolishing the basement and beginning water-proofing and electrical work. Anyway...

I would be glad to host a dinner next week. I think 8 people would be good, could stretch to 10 (it's a small house). I like the formality of sit-down dinners instead of buffets, but if we are going to have multiple cooks, then perhaps a buffet is a good idea. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Warming up, tonight I tried something a little different: I dredged some thin-sliced pork chops in a mixture of corn meal, seasoned bread crumbs and cayenne pepper. Sauteed them part-way in olive oil, then set them aside. I then sauteed some red onion, garlic, mushrooms and artichoke hearts (the type that are jarred in oil) in olive oil. Added a little red wine and a few tablespoons of orange juice and let it cook down. Added the pork back in to finish cooking, then removed it. Tossed in some al dente spaghetti. Served the chops over the pasta with a garnish of cilantro.

Very delicate taste, even from my heavy hands.
