Nice! Recipe?

Really nothing special.

Got the sausage from the store. Par cooked it in a little olive oil. Removed and sliced. Added some sundried tomatoes to the pan. Returned sliced sausage and any juice to the pan to finish cooking. Turned off burner and added some spinach to wilt. Little salt and pepper. Toss it over a bowl of pasta. Drizzle with a little more olive oil if needed. Add some shaved parm.

Sausage had plenty of garlic in it, so I didn’t add any more. Been trying to use restraint with garlic lately.

Was originally going to use mushrooms, but then I remembered the jar of sundried tomatoes I had. Ultimately this was just a heat-up-whatever meal. I was just totaled after spending all day making the macaroni. Managed to come out pretty good though.

Just came back from a week in Prague, and the pizza I had there is better than most of the pizza I’ve had at home in the US.

I’ve been getting pretty lazy the last couple of weeks between traveling and buying a house, but today I decided cook something nice. Have an excess of mushrooms in the kitchen so I decided to stuff some for lunch.

That looks great. What’s the stuffing?

Re: fries—I’m trying to think of bad fried potatoes but nothing happens

Minced onion, celery, and red bell pepper. Crushed Ritz crackers, water, salt, pepper, paprika, chopped parsley.

I think provolone works best as a stuffed mushroom topping, but all I had in the fridge was parmigiano reggiano and mozzarella. Also tasted great.

Tonight I made a really tasty sauce. Super easy too.

Olive oil, can on anchovy fillets (and oil), sliced garlic, capers, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and some chopped parsley. Sauce took as long to make as the pasta. Just toss in the spaghetti and serve.

Some people aren’t into the big steamed quahogs. Generally the bigger a clam is, the tougher it is. Most people around here will chop up the big ones and use them for clam cakes or chowder. I personally love the big chewy ones just as much as the smaller tender ones.

Typically smaller clams like littlenecks or cherry stones you’d throw over some linguine or just eat them raw like an oyster. The big ones are a meal all their own and you just need some bread to dip in the broth.

A neighbor hauled three huge buckets of these guys out of the beach himself. Asked me if I wanted some because he couldn’t possible eat them all. I ate half raw and steamed the other half.

I got these guys, and they're freakin' great. No food spinning, and if you're going an open flame instead of on grill grates, the base is set up so that you can do quarter turns. Even if you're just putting them straight on the grill, they're pretty much as good as a skewer can be.

These look like they’d work well for me. I’ve tried using two wooden skewers in the past and each time they end up spreading out too far at one end somehow and then my food is spring loaded.

For some reason I just have trouble with the highly advanced technique of cooking food on a stick.

Do you have a go-to recipe for this? I would really like to be able to make good Pad Thai. The Thai place down the road from me just closed, and I need my fix.


“Sauce:
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1.5 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon minced garlic
A few good shakes of chili powder.

Pre warm rice noodles in warm/hot water for a few minutes until they’re mostly cooked. Strain.

In wok sauté shrimp (or tofu, or chicken) with a little oil until par cooked. Add pre-warmed rice noodles and mix together. Push to side and drop in two eggs to briefly scramble and then stir up and mix into noodles and shrimp. Pour in the sauce. Add shaved carrot, mung bean sprouts, chopped scallions. Stir all together.

Serve and garnish with crushed peanuts (preferably toasted), chopped cilantro and lime wedges “

This is my standard recipe. It’s a good jumping off point. After making it over and over I’ve kind of switched around the order that I add things to the wok. But that really depends on the way you like to stir fry things... the kind of wok you have, how much oil you like to use, temp, etc.

Like now I usually cook the eggs first and take them out and add them back towards the end. They were getting too mashed up with all the stirring and tossing.

Sauce recipe is still the same because I think it’s pretty excellent.

My friend gave me a big pile of hot peppers. Figured I’d roast them and see how they turned out.









I’ve been putting them on EVERYTHING. Was wondering how long they’d stay preserved with just a little olive oil and salt. But at the rate I’m eating them they won’t last a week.

Sticky tamarind chicken from Dinner: Changing the Game over rice with raita, bitter melon pickles and matar paneer that was totally not made with jar sauce. I did make the paneer myself though!

The chicken recipe itself is 5/5 and probably would be even better if I had actually remembered to turn the chicken to get the sauce to stick to it. The recipe doesn't call for you to finish it off under the broiler but that would probably be a further improvement.

I need to get some nice metal serving platters and ramekins to up my Indian plating.

Help me make this-I tried it tonight but it didn’t taste like much and I couldn’t get the noodles to mix well with the chicken, egg, or sprouts.

I used half a pack of rice noodles-is that what you usually use?

I also don’t have a wok so I did it in a nonstick pan.

I cooked the eggs first, set them aside, then I cooked the chicken, added in the drained noodles, added sauce, green onions and sprouts (I didn’t have carrots), then I tried to mix it all together but the chicken and egg just would not incorporate into the noodles, so I basically plated the noodles first and then topped it with the chicken and the egg.

For the flavor, it just didn’t taste much like anything. It smelled fishy because the fish sauce bit that was it. I added sriracha, more cilantro, more peanuts, more like juice, and some extra soy and that helped a little bit. I think I should maybe add some more honey next time?

Definitely try more honey. Or sugar if that’s more your thing.

Half pack of noodles sounds right, and a decent nonstick pan should work fine as long as it’s big enough. You can also try fully cooking and removing both the eggs and chicken, and adding them back after the sauce has had a couple of minutes to set into the noodles and veggies. Usually there’s still plenty of sauce to soak into the chicken and eggs afterwards.

For me this recipe has been a lot of trial and error. I forget where I found the original recipe. Over time it’s changed so much. I think Pad Thai is a perfect platform to really make a recipe your own. After you make it a few times the tweaks you make will really tailor it to your own tastes. You make it two or three more times you’ll probably have something totally different than the way I do it.
