If you have the time and the means to do so.. cook them on the BBQ grill. I marinate in Franks Red Hot then while grilling it is a combination of whatever sauce and crushed red pepper.

Hit a deer not to long ago and still have some meat. Instead of making a stew yet again I thought I would ask if anyone had a good recipe for venison. I would prefer to make something with noodles or rice but hey if it's good I will try it out.

Goodpancakes posted:Any one have some amazing deviled egg recipes? I had my first deviled egg at a very old age (25ish) and now I must perfect this delicacy. Mash yolk with yellow mustard, mayo, salt, pepper, splash of Worcestershire sauce and some turmeric. You should have a mostly yellow finished product that you can then pipe back into the egg halves (or straight in yo mouf). Sprinkle the tops with smoked paprika as a final touch.

Yeah, what Doh004 said. I got mine at Target and I've seen them in Kroger. This is the brand I got. It was like 6 bucks and I've made a few batches and have a ton left.

Quick question: Got my gf a fondue set for Christmas and she wanted to use some gloucester or asiago (or both together) for a fondue. Any recommendations on liquids or seasonings?

I have a family visit dinner coming up two days from now. I have some braised lamb shoulder steaks with risotto (gremolata's done as well) on the menu so far but have hit a wall thinking of what to offer on the side. The lamb has been braised with white wine and veal stock. The dinner is for two days from now. Figured a good braise will only be helped by some saturation time. And maybe use the fond for the sauce. Pretty much everything I have right now is on the soft side, so I wager something with some bite is best. Any suggestions for a good side offering? Thanks.

I just made kimchi for the first time. According to the recipe, it has a shelf life of a month, and I'm supposed to let it sit and ferment "one to seven days." I like it sour, but I'm not sure even I could get through three full, big jars in a month. Should I start eating it tomorrow, after it's been left for technically 1 day, so that I get it all down? Does kimchi actually go bad?

Kimchi just gets super sour. Leave it on the counter if you want it to ferment faster, put it in the fridge to slow it down. I think you'll have more than a month in the fridge. There's no day when it suddenly "goes bad" it just slowly gets more and more sour. With 3 big jars, yeah might as well start now. Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Jan 12, 2013 |

It does go bad eventually. Fresh kimchi is a thing, you can start eating it immediately. In the fridge it will last months, it'll probably get too sour to eat before it goes bad.

IMO, kimchi has a usable period of < 3 days then > 2 weeks. Anything inbetween is weird. In the < 3 days time, you get good crunch, fresh cabbage flavor with the spice and funk, etc. > 2 weeks its sour and the longer you wait, the less it's good for eating as banchan and the better suited it is for cooking in jjigae or fried rice or pajeon or whatever. I have the remainders of a big batch of kimchi in the fridge from 1 year ago. It's super sour, but still good, great for cooking with.

Got quite drunk last night, and made some very sloppy mashed potatoes (among other things), that you'll probably all laugh at me for. Boiled little red potatoes (with skin) in water and the fluid from rehydrating dried morel mushrooms. Then mashed them in a hot mixture of sour cream, heavy cream and butter, plus salt and pepper. Anyway, any ideas for turning the leftover potatoes into something different? I've never done anything with leftover mashed potatoes other than warm them and eat them... what are my options?

Just clean out the mushroom cap, glob in some potatoes, and bake for about 20 minutes. If you use big portobellos, you can make a little well in the top and crack an egg in. Also crumbled bacon or pancetta.

Random grocery question...if I buy some fish today (salmon, cod, tilapia...I dunno yet), will it be ok to hang out in the fridge and cook tomorrow? Ill be buying it from a grocery store in houston, so it's in no way completely fresh and has been frozen before (I know all fish is frozen on the boat or whatever for parasites). I swear I remember hearing only buy fish the day you want to cook it.

Bring a cooler packed with ice for the trip. If you can buy them frozen (since they're assumed frozen anyway), buy them frozen. Keep them as frozen as you can manage and then thaw in the fridge overnight when you get home and you should be fine.

I found a recipe for scrapple that I want to make, and one of the ingredients is "roasted cornmeal". Is this a special kind of cornmeal that I can buy or do I literally just roast some cornmeal myself? If so, how do I do it? Just throw cornmeal in a pan and cook it for a bit over low heat?

Any tips on how to break my wife of being a total and complete spoiled brat about food? She grew up in a household where she was allowed to say "no" to anything she didn't like. It stuck. Perfect example: I asked about smelts in here earlier. I ended up frying them, which produced excellent results. She normally likes fried fish, but said the smelts were "too fishy," whatever the hell that means. She eats catfish and tilapia and they have that earthy flavor to them...sigh...

My mom is the same way and she's like 55. My dad totally caters to her so whenever I cook, it's like I'm trying to get her to eat raw fish eyeballs or something. Examples: I made lasagna with deer meat which she ate and liked. Then she found out it was deer and not beef and REFUSED to eat it again, or anything else I cooked with deer meat. My fiance and I were making a dish with anchovies in it, and she commented on how good it smelled. As soon as I told her it was anchovies, she got "grossed out" and refused to try the finished dish. Some people are just food babies. Whenever my mom comes over I just pick up a rotisserie chicken and some potato salad from Wal-Mart.

It is a special kind of cornmeal, but in something like scrapple you can get away with toasting cornmeal or using regular cornmeal without a substantial difference in the flavor. If you want to toast cornmeal, yeah, I'd go with either a low heat on the stovetop or a low heat on a sheet pan in the oven. The trick is that roasted cornmeal isn't (roasted) (cornmeal), but (roasted corn) (meal). The corn itself is roasted before milling it into meal and gives you all that tasty goodness of roasted corn. Toasting and a pinch of sugar should get you in the ballpark for anything short of grits or cornbread. Or if you want to be lazy, the spices and fats in most scrapple and casseroley things will be taking front stage anyway.

Thanks for the info! I was hoping it was something I could make myself because I already have cornmeal and I'm lazy. Have you made scrapple before? What are some good seasonings/spices to use? I looked at various recipes and some call for sage, some call for nutmeg, some call for other stuff.

He thought it was hilarious. Yes I realize I am a huge baby, but in my defense onions are honestly the only food I refuse to eat. They have the worst texture that triggers my vomit reflex. I want to like them but I can't We've come to an uneasy truce where I will allow onions in whatever he cooks as long as they are big enough pieces that I can pick them out. And yes, he did stop smoking. I guess eventually I'll have to hold up my end of the bargain!

If I can puree it and not taste onion chunks while I'm eating I'm fine. I think it's more of a texture thing for me.
