titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted July 12, 2015 Lets be honest, your mom served het kooze tp a LOT of people... Probably, I mean back in the early 70s, one would hope she had her fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,204 Posted July 13, 2015 And that's why my local Biergarten is celebrating its first bacon fest next weekend. http://www.parkrestaurant.com/event/polka-brothers-live-baconfest/ Dayum, I just had a food orgasm reading that menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artista 460 Posted July 13, 2015 There is always some trendy food item that appears in everything. For a while it was sun dried tomatoes. Mango had its day in the sun. Now it's bacon. Bacon is NOT trendy. It's part of life as we know it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naomi 343 Posted July 13, 2015 My mom has a decent garden going and last year she made a variation of this a few times. So good and simple. Quinoa is hearty and nutritious. Just wish it was more affordable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted July 13, 2015 Cilantro is an awesome herb, one of my favorites. I use it on all kinds of things: * In chimichurri sauces * In salads * In vinaigrettes - particularly a lemon/cilantro one I make * In breading for pan seared or baked fish * In pico de gallo for sure * On roasted corn on the cob with a mayo/sour cream/ cotija cheese mixture topping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patweisers44 697 Posted July 13, 2015 I understand that cilantro is a part of most salsa recipies, and I love salsa. However, cilantro is one of those things that if I can taste it, its a deal breaker for me. Tastes to me what a bar of soap would taste like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bier Meister 1,513 Posted July 14, 2015 Mix in a little acai berry this is where i stay savory... i like the dish you posted. i would go with minced nicoise or kalamata olives and pimentos, or oregano, capers, garlic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted July 14, 2015 Bacon grease can make a lot of dishes taste better. Want better tasting skillet potatoes? Throw a spoonful of bacon grease in there. My dad has jars of it and uses a little bit of it to cook with. Not all the time but occasionally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,513 Posted July 14, 2015 very common to save pork and duck fat. anytime i render bacon for a dish, i use that fat to saute the other components (ie: mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naomi 343 Posted July 14, 2015 this is where i stay savory... i like the dish you posted. i would go with minced nicoise or kalamata olives and pimentos, or oregano, capers, garlic. Nicoise olives eh? Off to google. I take it penult was playing on the earlier trendy food discussion with his post so I was in return. There is a chance he wasn't..

Gives it's bit of extras flavoring. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted July 14, 2015 I save all my bacon fat, stores great in the fridge. I also save pieces of brisket fat - will use it sometimes to top other meats in the smoker, or in such things as charro beans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted July 29, 2015 How do you all like your disgusting little weed now? I hope they ban it forever. I still love it - and there are plenty of growers here in Texas and in California, as well as a few other states... But I do admit - that is pretty gross.
