The Cooking Thread

[Hammer and Pickle]

So as promised: the intention is we just share recent cooking exploits. Today, I’m posting image links for homemade crumpets with smoked salmon and a chicken fricassée (I love that name) with brine pickles.

As it’s Remembrance Day, I will call an amnesty on all posters I have banned on this thread. The intention is that if you feel the urge to insult, abuse or otherwise cսnt-off-the-bastard, why not keep it on this thread only. The idea is the rest of the site gets more civil.

So, the link



PS - this thread is dedicated to all the posters who think I have ruined the site and need a deporting to Siberia. Thank you yes please.

I posted a pic of some soup I’m happy about.

Are you having some sort of breakdown too?

[happygilmore]

Oh well, at least my goose-broth ramen came out right

if  there was any doubt you are a complete cսnt, then posting this straight after the game ended proves it.

Almost got the jelly perfect. Next time, I will do a second pouring because the first one soaked in leaving space for more jelly. I imagine that if you do a couple of these a month, you get these things sorted. Meat and pastry just right. Has to be served with brine pickles and Colman’s mustard.

 

The spite what peple say Picjkle has some talent

Rubbish, he's just a lucky cook. The Polish Moyes.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day food all sorted.

Christmas eve tortellini in broth.

Christmas Day the porchetta is ordered from the local farm, just got to pick it up.
Lasagne to start (mother in law is making it), tiramisu for dessert.

Mortadella, cheeses, Marsala wine all sorted for later in the day. 

huge Pandora to have with coffee later on.

Was going to ask if you didn't do Festa dei Sette Pesci on Christmas Eve, but apparently it is a North American Italian thing (based on la Vigilia of Southern Italy).

Will never forget cutting pounds and pounds of baccalla on the band saw ( and having to clean the band saw) for the nonnas in the weeks before.  

The rich Ital-Canadian kids I worked with would always have their lobster that night as well.


Our own food is pretty subdued this year. 
My nephew is back from playing hockey at a university in New York state briefly, so we are driving my mom the 5 hours up to Edmonton to see him on Christmas Day.  Driving while stuffed with Alberta holiday roads - not that smart. 


Will have some stuff with them that day and the few days after but it will mostly be finger stuff (a lot of the meat cheese bought from the deli I mention working at above.)

I think you’re right, we should be eating fish on Christmas Eve.

The tortellini is a Christmas Day thing in Emilia Romagna but we’ve kinda shoehorned into Xmas eve.

I’ll beg forgiveness at mass on Christmas Eve.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Just put the bacalhau in to soak as it goes. Needs 48 hours so should make Christmas Eve dinner just on time.

[Mike Oxsaw]

Traditional Thai Pumpkin & Potato Curry - because I know how to cook it properly.

Sounds very fine indeed, goose. Is tortellini in broth traditional for Christmas Eve out there?

I'm doing tiramisu for Christmas day as well. Light pudding after a heavy meal. Boxing day is always cold cuts and fancy salads. I'll be making a big focaccia to go with that. Boxing day pudding is pineapple and stem ginger crumble. Christmas Eve I'll be busy running around doing errands, so I'll just put out cheese and crackers, charcuterie (hate that word) olives, fruit and pickles. I'll do some dry rub chicken wings, too, because there's some wings in the freezer I want to use up to make space.


 

Tortellini in chicken broth is a bolognese Christmas tradition. Not a family tradition but one we picked up when in Bologna one year.

You and yours too, Pickle.

Enjoy the bird and all the best to you and yours!

Saw Rick Stein cook Kapuska on the tele in the week.

spiced lamb with a lot of white cabbage, not heard of/seen it before, but going to give it a go in the New Year, as it looks delicious.

[Nurse Ratched]

Good stuff.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Goose with red cabbage, walnuts and roast fruit. The dripping will be good for a year of yum.

[Nurse Ratched]

What are you doing for your Christmas day roast, Pickle? I am doing turkey, as usual. My kids become outraged whenever I suggest a change. 

[Hammer and Pickle]

Can you use a smartphone?

How do I upload a picture of my sausage, egg and chips?
