Kai's "Old-Fashioned" Recipe Thread

[jaybird]

Thanks Tina/Fugi! I'm craving this something awful. Makes perfect sense to me. Running 3 miles a day, cutting out all carbs and refined sugars, wheat and red meat, all dairy. My quads hurt so bad from the exercise I am certain they're bleeding - and what do I want to eat???? Carbonara, of course.

I think I'm in trouble. As strict as I've been with my diet (for the most part, excluding the Fair), I'm going to get to Mexico and start eating local cuisine and my digestive system is literally going to go 'south.'

By the way, I'm not getting nervous at all. Really I'm not. Really.

((that's my story and I'm sticking to it))

I'd much rather DRIVE to my vacations. I should have left this morning, drove to Punta Mita and met the fam at the airport Friday. THAT is what I should have done. But nooooooooooooo...

Ya gotta make it complicated, don't you? Okay. Which one of the two here? I nixed the first one, I HATE pimentos. I know, I know, they 'don't taste.' BS. I pick them out of everything. Make a neat little pile next to the mushrooms.

What's pancetta? And isn't newfacktal cheese the same as cream cheese?

I think this is the recipe I'll go with. Thank you. I'm really hungry for it and I don't think I have time this week to get to Boccardi's for theirs.

pancetta = Italian bacon Pronunciation: pan-SHEH-tuh Notes: Pancetta is the Italian counterpart to our bacon. It's cured, but not smoked, and it's often used to give a subtle salty flavor to pasta sauces. Deli counters often carry cylinders of it, and slice it to order. Substitutes: equal parts prosciutto and salt pork OR unsmoked lean bacon OR bacon (Blanch it first in boiling water for a couple of minutes to tone down the smoky flavor.) OR prosciutto




Neufchatel = Neufchâtel Pronunciation: new-shuh-TELL OR NEW-shuh-tell Notes: Neufchâtel is very similar in taste and appearance to cream cheese, but it contains less fat and more moisture. Use it within a few days after purchasing, and throw it out if mold appears. For best results, serve chilled. Substitutes: cream cheese (typically higher in fat) OR Boursin


Complicated LOLOLOLOLOL NOOOOOOOOOOOO these are tame BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ummm. I don't eat breakfast. Only eat one meal a day, either lunch or dinner. Our resort price includes all meals and alcoholic/non-alcholic beverages. They have 4 restaurants, but there is one in Punta de Mita, and one in Puerta Vallarta I want to try.

Wouldn't I want to eat MEXICAN food in Mexico? Closest I've come to 'real' Mexican food was in Austin and San Antonio.

My luck dahubby will catch a sailfish or something else inedible. And I GAAAAAAAARUNTEEEEEEE there will be NO cooking on this vacation. It's a crime punishable by death. I do want some decent seafood while I'm down there, red snapper maybe...

South American Beef??? As opposed to??? Would that be RED MEAT? Dead animal flesh??? Just want to be clear on this.

I just re-read that. Salmon and eggs? Salmon as salmon salad, salmon patties, grilled salmon. And eggs, the white orbs that come out of chickens' butts? Oh yum.

Jaybird breakfast=2 pots of coffee.
(and yes, I'm packing my OWN coffee)

what's boursin?


Boursin Pronunciation: boor-SAN Notes: This creamy cheese from France is usually flavored with herbs, garlic or coarse ground pepper. It's mild, delicate and smooth, and goes well with fresh bread and dry white wine. Boursin is better than other flavored spreadable cheeses, like Alouette or Rondelé, but none of these cheeses are well regarded by gourmets. Store Boursin in the refrigerator but bring it to room temperature before serving. Eat it within a few days of purchase. Substitutes: Rondelé (a cheaper domestic imitation) OR Alouette (not as good) OR Mix together in a food processor using a steel blade: 8 ounces of cream cheese, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon minced parsley, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Chill for several hours before serving. OR chevre frais






Can't I JUST use BACON???

YES you can use
unsmoked lean bacon OR bacon (Blanch it first in boiling water for a couple of minutes to tone down the smoky flavor.) OR prosciutto

By all means Mexican, they have some very good seafood recipies as to Salmon & Eggs yeah white thingys with yellow "eyes" and Smoked salmon Yeah great Breakfast. If Hubby Catches it I think you can find a place that will cook it for ya SA Beef is range reared rather than like most american beef which is Barn reared, this DOES affect the taste (for the Better IMHO)
Take Advantage of whatever pops up, try it, it might be the stuff of legends

I've heard of a recipe that has bits of cut up lox cooked in with scrambled eggs. I've never had it but it sounds different.

Was that my catheter or my oxygen tube?

Was thinking tonight (HEY, stop it, I think once in awhile!) that I could run a lot faster and a lot further if I didn't smoke, huh?
;p
