I want to make kickin rad garlic butter dipping sauce because I'm fat.

I'm thinking of making a butter from cream using garlic salt and a bit of granulated garlic, but throwing in some olive oil (maybe a garlic olive oil?) towards the end to thin it out and an emulsifier if it breaks.

Good idea, bad idea?

I don't think you want to add garlic olive oil to that, maybe a regular one yes.

Instead of garlic salt and powder, make garlic confit. Cream a few cloves of the garlic and add that to the butter with regular salt. Microplaning a bit of raw garlic into it would probably be nice.

Does greek yogurt freeze well? The little 7oz containers of fage are on sale for $1/ea which is cheaper per ounce than the largest tub (which is also on sale, but still not cheaper). Being able to buy a bunch of those, chuck them in the freezer, then throw 1-2 in my bag for lunch would be an awesomely convenient thing.

Being a not regular poster, and this being for recipe requests and quick questions:

We are having a backyard BBQ this weekend, and I decided to bring ribs. I have 3 racks to prepare and what I'm finding is advice is so random and divided on the "Proper" way that I'm a little flustered.

It would be awesome to get some goon recommendations for a sweet BBQ sauce marinade recipe (Hell even using a base of simple BBQ sauce works), and I was looking for a dry rub recipe.

We bought a set of pre-marinated ribs with Apple Cinnamon from the butcher, and figured we should try our hand on the rest. Looking to do a rack in a sauce and a rack in a dry rub at least. Considering doing 2 in a dry rub since we have 2 sauced ribs, so if there are 2 dry rubs that are recommended that works too!

So I just moved from sea level to a mile above sea level and I am terrified. My new kitchen is gorgeous but I am scared to cook anything too complex in it because AAAHHHH, WATER BOILS AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE, AHHH.

Can someone help me figure out how to compensate for altitude? One batch of beans has already come out underdone, and I am too scared to even begin bread baking again. I'm not looking for recipes, just rules of thumb or guidelines.

Adjustments are different for different sorts of cooking, but generally it's a matter of using longer cooking times and sometimes higher heats.

Kind of a random question, but does anyone have a good recipe for making pani ca meusa at home? I figure it is pretty simple, but I just don't know what seasonings and I've never really cooked with spleen and lungs. I definitely have a place I can get offal. I should have a place for the bread and cheese (god bless northern new jersey). If I don't, good bread and cheese subs?

I prefer chimichurri with cilantro instead of parsley but a mix of the two works well. I add some oil, splash of vinegar and some red pepper flakes and blitz it in the food processor

Welcome to Denver(?). I've lived at the mile high altitude all my life and I have seen very few things entirely ruined due to altitude. Like Mr. Wiggles said, most boiled things just take a little longer to cook, especially beans and boiled eggs (I've never had a problem with pastas or rice, though having always lived here I don't know if the texture of rice differs at sea level). As for baking, KAF has a guide that you can use as a starting point.

I never had a fresh mackerel, I do like them smoked and steamed (a lot), so now I want to stick a fresh mackerel in the oven to see how it tastes.

Questions:

- does mackerel need to be descaled?

- will the mackerel taste good in this recipe, or should I use a sea bass for it and find myself another recipe for the mackerel?

Mashed potatoes would be infinitely superior to noodles. Dauphinoise would be even better.

Unfortunately, puff pastry is beyond my skills at this time :(

But mashed potatoes it is! I personally am not a huge fan of boiled potatoes, and since this is my birthday dinner, I don't feel too bad about skirting tradition.

Puff pastry from the supermarket fridge is easy, just thaw and apply ;-)

TIL you can buy pre-made puff pastry.

But I'm working until 5 so I'm still sticking with my mashed potatoes.

I'm actually really excited. I'm having a bunch of people from my nursing program over for a late lunch/early dinner tomorrow.

Will 3lbs of beef be enough for 9 people plus 2 little kids, or should I buy more on my way home tonight?

You should descale it. Recipe looks fine. I prefer just salt, pepper, lemon slices and maybe some chili flakes or fresh chili slices.

3lbs will be cutting it close for a main. I'd buy more and have leftovers. Leftover bourg. is delicious.

Mashed is a great choice and dauphinois as mentioned would also rock. But if puff pastry sounds good but too complicated for you, some muffin tin popovers would also work pretty well. Because popovers rule.

Anyway, I just made a corn soufflé and my wife has handed me this recipe for lemon soufflé with raspberry compote with orders to make it next week.

Not being particularly versed in double-checking soufflé recipes, does that look like a good one or is there better?

Speaking of pastry, I was making some savory meat pies this weekend. Plain pie dough, circles folded in half, like an empanada. I baked some in the home oven, and the dough cooked up properly. But when I baked them in a commercial pizza oven, the top piece of dough ballooned up, so that when you cut them open, there was this sort of cavern in there.

Whats the solution? I'm thinking lower oven temp. I baked them at 400, so maybe 350. And perforating the top with a spikey wheel instead of two knife stabs.
