What are you having for supper?

[Dana Jean]

Membranes are the hard parts ...sorta like silverskin on beef. You can cut it out. I wet my liver and roll it in well-seasoned breadcrumbs. I use canola oil and fry it in the skillet. Be careful...initial high heat then on medium low. You do not want to overcook liver. I fry the onions separate. I slice half-moons really thin and fry them in butter on very slow heat to bring out the sweetness. I serve a beef gravy and mashed with this. If I use bacon, I do not have gravy but slather it with ketchup lol.

thank you . -- just so you know, i realize you are a chef, the reason i called out doc is he tends to cook stuff the way my mom did -- no offense to doc, but your dishes are fancier

Had to work a bit late and it's too hot to use the oven. Picked up a Mediterranean veggie sandwich from Panera. But it's got NOTHIN' on the sandwich you posted osnafrank !!

A lil quick veggie recipe for you. This is my own because I changed the vinegarette a little. My chef who trained me was Pierre Trudeau's chef....he use to be Prime Minister of Canada before his son. I have several of Trudeau's favorite food recipes that Chef Kelly made for him. Here is a good one that I do for veggie sandwiches. I get some canoli oil...Alberta is the canoli oil capital of the world lol. I add some red wine vinegar to the oil. I then add some honey to this and stir it all together. Taste to see if it is too sour or sweet ...correct by adding more of that which is lacking. Then I add a ton of dill weed, garlic powder and other spices that you like. I shake this up and pour it over thinly sliced tomatoes, mushies, onions, cucumber, radishes. You can add whatever sliced veggies you like. Let this sit and stew for a while in the fridge. Get a crusty roll. Spoon some of the veggies on the buttered roll and top with some feta cheese crumbles. Enjoy.

I wish I had some of this right now!

I'm at work until 10 and the food at the hospital cafeteria leaves a lot to be desired



I can at least get a hot steeped tea from Tim Hortons but apart from that all they have are donuts, croissants and muffins - not even a toasted bagel!

Try this sometime. You will probably like it a
lot. I have another one for a dip or dressing that Trudeau liked. It is garlic dill. Trudeau's favorite dish was pepper steak.

I thought that was Chrétien (haha - pepper spray)

Attention Doc Creed, attention please.

Do you like liver and onions? Do you cook liver and onions? If so, how do you do it? How long does it take. What the hell is a membrane on the liver? Does it have to be removed? Why am I attempting this?

Sorry, DanaJean, I've never had liver and onions. No clue. I like chicken gizzards, though. Did you attempt it?

I got to the grocery late this evening, put away the cold stuff, and plopped down in my chair to watch "Game of Thrones," along with a bucket of Maltesers (which are disappointing). That was dinner.

 

[grin willard]

Baked salmon with lemon cream sauce. Black beans. Cajun rice.

 

[grin willard]

Homemade chicken nuggets, home canned beans with bacon, cornbread.

'kosher' & 'bacon' in the same post? That's all I have to say!

I did actually and I impressed myself. It was very good!

I love liver and onions if it is cooked right (just like Mom used to make it) - I think you need a black cast iron pan and to do the onions like staropeace described - Andy knows how to remove those "membranes" (but usually it's already done by the butcher)

I copied this from a website called LiveStrong:

To tenderize liver and tone down the strong flavor and aroma, cut liver into narrow strips, then soak the strips in milk for up to four hours.

Saute sliced onions in a heavy skillet with a small amount of cooking oil. For a healthy dish, use hearty-healthy canola oil or olive oil. Remove the cooked onions with a fork, then place the liver in the skillet. Saute the liver until the outside is brown and the inside is slightly pink. then serve the liver with the onions piled on top. Liver and onions are often served with bacon.

If fat is a concern, omit the bacon, or use leaner turkey bacon.

If you like, you can dredge the liver in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper before frying.

I did exactly this, I only soaked the liver for an hour. And yes, the membrane was already removed, thank you liver Gods.

....I'd rather dredge my liver in bourbon or vodka.....

Maltesers

I had to Google this.

My mom's been asking me to make spinach dip (the cold kind). Finally got around to it today. Walmart only had one bag of organic frozen spinach left, so I got a bag of organic frozen kale as well. I've made it with just kale before and thought it was pretty good, but had mixed responses. Some liked it better than spinach, some not as much. I think the mixture of the two (a happy accident ) is the key. The texture turned out great.

Today I made a beef stew with sirloin steak from the natural butcher (their meat comes from small farms, and guaranteed to be all natural).

I added celery, onion, carrots, spices; sauteed everything first then put it in the slow cooker for 4 hours on high (with boiling water as well to cook the 'taters)

[Had eight potatoes to use up so I peeled and chopped those up and added them in].

It smells so delicious! I just added some Veloutine as a thickener and it will be ready in 30 minutes once the gravy is done.

Will probably just eat this with some bread and butter on the side and a glass of milk.

 

[morgan]

Neesy I know you're a very good cook (and baker!). I was just wondering what you make that your son (Josh?) likes the best.

 

[Baby Blue]

Ugh. More rice and vegetables for me. Blah.
