I like watching chefs I respect cut stuff, it makes me feel so much more :smug: about my my knife skills.

or quells some ridiculous insecurity I have or something that all professional cooks are prep machines who can pound through 100lb cases of onions in like 10 minutes.

Yip Yip, bitch.
I had an awful dream that Wrought and Mr. Wrought showed up at my house while I was in New Hampshire with my friends this weekend. Because I had apparently planned a massive get together at my place the week before. But nobody (even the Wroughts!) had RSVP'd so I cancelled it. Unfortunately, they didn't get the cancel notice and showed up to my empty apartment and were sad. I woke up in tears, and then Puppy made me feel better so I went to sleep again somehow. And then I came here to make sure that I didn't actually invite Wrought to a party that I cancelled. :(

Big disappointment this weekend. Picked up a 5 pound USDA prime rolled rib roast. It was a beautifully marbled, wonderful to look at, hunk of beef. Roasted it to medium rare.

Absolutely no flavor whatsoever.

It was seriously the blandest prime rib I've ever eaten. It was also the first time I think I've had actual prime prime rib.

Leftovers made decent chesesteaks the next night.

Never again.

Normally that's all I do with a rib roast, but this time it was s&p, garlic powder, and some other herbs. It doesn't really matter though, as that stuff isn't going to penetrate meat. Maybe it was how the cow was finished or something, because it was just so bland.

I'm all about Maytag blue crusted primes now, I ran it as a special for our Sunday brunch a few weeks ago, and it is now making its way as an option for all of our prime carving options in banquets.

Awwwww! We've been down here in Virginia for the past month or so. We'd love to come up and hang with you two, but with work schedules being what they are we probably won't get up that way until we're on our way to Thanksgiving in Maine. Rest assured you didn't invite us to any cancelled parties!

If you boil the marinade for 5 mins (and let it cool) before you put it on the pork, then it will not turn your meat into mush. Also don't marinate it for more than an hour, and put the garnish on when you're ready to serve it.

Yip Yip, bitch.

The reason for it is because in India, there are enough vegetarians who will refuse to set foot in a meat serving restaurant. This is especially true of the more strict religious Hindus. And depending on where in the country you are, you'll have folk strict even about eggs. Like, in the stricter sectors of my family, you had some of my dad's kin folk refuse to eat my mum's cooking, because she had eggs in the house. IN THE HOUSE.

That's a big rear end beet. As much as it shames me, I've never had borsht. Hopefully some Eastern European goon helps you out, and then you all hook us up with a Big rear end Borsht recipe.

What was your pastor recipe/process mindphlux? I was doing some thinking how to approximate the doner tradition. I was thinking either pounded loin grilled or pounded shoulder roasted a little then grilled. Cut thin against the grain either way.

a really good mexican taco place near me does their al pastor style tacos using really small cubes of meat and pineapples. it's not true al pastor style (IE doner style), but their version tastes loving amazing and I can get pretty bad cravings for it. so marinated some really fatty 'dark meat' bone in pork steaks for several hours, and grilled them really hot/fast to get a crunchy char. then chopped it up into .5-1cm cubes.

my problem was, I reserved some of the marinade to toss in after cubing. meant to boil the marinade before mixing it back in to the finished product, but it was a party, and drinking happens. and then when someone put the pork away, they just tossed in all the little pineapple cubes with the meat. ohwell!

come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had true al pastor doner style. I love doners so loving much, it'd probably knock my socks off. :/

Nice beets. I bought another 25 pounds for $12 because I can't loving resist those prices.

I posted my borscht recipe for the throwdown, and I've been pretty happy with it. The basics:
- Start with oxtail or beef shank.
- Go heavy on the initial sear.
- Cook with beer. Wine is okay, but a decent lager will add a slight hoppy bitterness that plays well with both sweet and sour.
- Spice with allspice, caraway, clove.
- Sourness from sauerkraut (ideal) or a heavy hand with sour cream/yogurt.

It varies a lot by region. Here is an article written by someone of eastern European extraction with a slightly different approach that I'm sure is delicious as well.

I am missing something here. Do you puree the beets? When do they go in?

I don't puree because I like chunky borscht, but you certainly could and someone somewhere would still recognize it as borscht. I roast or boil the beets separately until mostly cooked but still firm, dice them, then finish in the soup pot for about a half hour to get the whole thing the proper color. When I was cooking more one-pot stuff in Europe (mostly because I could only spare one burner), I diced the raw beets and simmered them in the soup for ~1.5 hours before serving.

I have a lot of beet, so I'll have to try this a couple of ways. Also, I'm nearing time to butcher another pig, so I might try this with a pig based broth instead of a beef based broth as well.

Have you the Awful app? Despite the name, it's not awful. (Quite the reverse).

Wiggles, make this:
http://www.riverford.co.uk/feed/in:recipes/beetroot-gratin/

I use rosemary, and par-cook the sliced beets (which I cut using a food processor) in a microwave. They take a LONG time to look in the oven - longer than the recipe says. You want them real melty soft. It's REALLY good.

You can make an awesome veggie burger using shredded beets as a base. Can't recall the recipe off the top of my head, but I know it had panko, minced roasted creminis, ground flax seed, chopped pumpkin seed, and stuff like Worcestershire for seasoning. Incredibly good.

Taqueria La Hacienda

I go to the Burnsville one off 35w & 13 but there are 2 on Lake Street. There's no shortage of little taco shops in the metro if you hit google: there's another one a mile east of the one I linked and 2-3 out in Shakopee. If you don't mind braving Lake Street there are at least a dozen of these places along it.

City Pages restaurant search is pretty useful and the weekly reviews and food section usually isn't bad.
