I'm in Shanghai. Earlier this night we had a magnificent family supper at an ace seafood restaurant (sea cucumber status: overrated) and now it's past 2AM and my girlfriend just went out and bought grilled pork skewers and grilled oysters with noodles and garlic in the street. The Whore of the Orient has long since retired, but she still offers bountiful carnal pleasures. I'm gonna gain so much weight the next three weeks.  e: should've taken a photo, but gently caress that we're a couple of ravenous pigs.

In the last general chat thread, someone linked an awesome pumpkin muffin recipe, but I can't even find the old thread now, let alone a recipe in it. Did anyone save it?

Well I started my main one with Rammstein, Primus, Pink Floyd, and MSI. Eventually Rockabilly came up, and...somewhere in there that song came up. I couldn't say really. here's my pandora though if you wanna go take a look through, and see what I dig in terms of music.

@Wiggles, make raw beet salad: http://altveg.blogspot.com/2009/02/beet-salad-of-doom.html It's one of the few ways I can enjoy beets. And it's relatively quick to knock up, if you have a food processor. I make it every time Puppy forgets that I hate beets and brings some home. Maybe this is why he keeps bringing them home ... Hmmm. Either way. It's rather a nice blend of texture and taste, and I especially like it as a lettuce wrap.

Pretty drat good! Was a great accompaniment to the ham I'd roasted up.

What the gently caress is wrong with you people that don't like beets? I fuckin love beets. I've eaten beets every day for the last 5 days. So good.

Casu Marzu posted:What the gently caress is wrong with you people that don't like beets? In borscht or that beet salad I posted, there's enough other stuff going on that I can just enjoy the texture. I especially find that if I make stuff acidic enough (with the tomatoes in the Ukrainian borscht or the orange juice in the salad), it tends to clear that hurdle for me. But if it's beets, neat, I'll pass.

dino. posted:I don't know. It's a taste thing, for the most part. I know how to cook, and cook well. Puppy loves when I make beets with red wine and rosemary. He also loves it when I just bake them with a bit of oil, and a tiny dab of cinnamon sugar towards the end to get all caramelised and such. He also loves them in Ukrainian borscht (which I love too). I've had rave reviews on my beetroot curry. But for me, I don't much care for their earthiness, so to speak. The texture isn't an issue, because I'll eat daikon all day every day. It's just something about the taste that's a turn off.

Beets are really great. We got a lot of varieties this year - the great big red ones, chioggias that I like to slice really thin and put in salads, lots of golden beets that I roast all winter and serve as a main component of supper, and some tan colored ones that I like to boil with potatoes when I mash them. But it's just the sheer amount of the red ones that have me needing the borsht recipe, since I normally only have enough red beets to pickle and thus I never make borsht (and I love both pickled beets and borsht.)

For me beets taste like sweet dirt. I don't mind the texture either, and maybe if I had some from some other part of the planet, or some really fresh ones (only ever ate canned ones growing up and they still make me want to vomit.) The smell alone of beets is a turn off for me. I still soldier on and make them for the old lady when she wants them but ick.

My problem with beets is that they're a really overwhelming flavor and are often served mushy. Raw and semi-raw beets are good though; probably my favorite beet application is the one Pierre Jancou serves in Paris. It's like a whole duck breast served with beets just glazed in white wine, chicken stock, salt, and maybe a tiny bit of sugar. Still raw and crunchy on the inside. Good stuff. I don't really know why red beets became the most popular, though, especially with their propensity to stain everything. Yellows and pinks are much nicer to me (and prettier).

last time I ate beets it was before going out getting completely sloshed and to the club I woke up the next morning already feeling like I might be dying, took a dump, and shat myself for 20 seconds thinking I was quite literally dying until I remembered I ate beets the night before.

I had an I-ate-dragonfruit scare in the Bangkok airport. I had to wait a few hours before I could google "bloody stool" as many different ways as possible. I put it together eventually.

Beets with Swedish hash (pytt i panna) and fried eggs was such a great mainstay of my military service that I have to conclude that beet doubters are a bunch of filthy communists. I mean, beets and peas are the backbone of our defence againstn the russian hordes after all.

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.

My thing with beets is they also stain my urine so I think I have a UTI and start freaking out until I realize what's up. Beets rule though.

We (Australians) use beetroot on a lot of things. Salads, hamburgers come to mind. Mostly tinned pickled though (still good). Even McDonald's  uses beetroot on some of their products.I don't understand why beetroot on hamburgers seems like such an unusual thing. It's great.

In most contexts, beef 'n' beet isn't a super-traditional pairing (though it's not totally unheard of). Plus normal pickled beet seems a little mushy for it (cold-pickled could work though). I'd give it a shot with a few very thin-sliced raw slices of yellow beet.

So tonight I had my first real nothing-from-a-box meal in this apartment. I took some chicken breasts, dredged them in flour, and pan-fried them. Then I deglazed the pan with some cheap bourbon I have on hand and made a garlic-bourbon pan sauce for it. Verdict:  holy poo poo I somehow managed to have leftovers so I put the chicken breasts in a small tupperware container with the pan sauce, is that going to totally wreck the chicken if I leave it like that, or improve it?

If it was crispy on the outside, it ain't gonna be cripsy no more, but the taste will be fine. You might even want to eat it cold, like on a salad or something, since it's a chicken breast and heating it up will most likely dry it out. I'd personally keep it cold and make a sammich out of it.

Please can we ban using the term "sammich". It's a goddamned sandwich. It's only one more letter to type. Having done some research before impetuously posting, I retract the above, as I now know that sandwich and sammich are not simply interchangeable.
