| If Ever There Was a Year for Christmas Cookies, this is the One [Bluebell] »
December 06, 2020
Food Thread: Is There Such A Thing As "Too Much Cheese?"That's the gratin I served to great acclaim and adoration for Thanksgiving. I used Ina Garten's recipe, which is in dire need of some further testing by her kitchens, because it's a dumb way of making it (more anon). And that's what it looks like when it is done. Pretty good! Garnish it with oysters and you'll be in heaven (right Bluebell?). But the recipe calls for a measly, wholly inadequate 10 ounces of grated cheese (by volume, which is worse!). That's just silly. So I tripled it. And it was..um...great! So the answer is: No, there can never be too much cheese. Oh, she calls for painting the bottom of the casserole dish with one third of the bechamel/cheese sauce. That's dumb. Just toss everything into your largest bowl and using a spatula gently coat the florets with the cheese sauce, then put it all into the casserole. Why she wants it striated is beyond me. Sometimes cookbook writers try to be too clever. Yes, there is method to the madness. There is a special guest post coming at 4:00pm; thus the early and abbreviated Food Thread. But the ongoing and chaotic contest for best menu on a budget got short shrift last week, and because the entries were uniformly interesting I wanted to post a couple more... Long time lurker, comment rarely. Appetizer: Portobello Mushroom pizza You may remember that commenter "ALH" has shared some rather yummy looking foods from her kitchen. The last two were Peach Cobbler and a luscious-looking lasagna. Well, I guess she thought that we were in need of some punishment. I guess I could have posted "Man On Ottoman," and it would have been pretty much the same thing. Food and cooking tips, Large-breasted Muscovy ducks, young wild pigs, bartenders who use vermouth in Martinis (but not too much), pork belly that doesn't have 5-spice, low-temperature-roast chicken, and good tomatoes that aren't square, pale pink and covered with Mestizo E.coli: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Any advocacy of French Toast with syrup will result in disciplinary action up to and including being nuked from orbit. And yes, shaking a Manhattan is blasphemy...it's in the Bible! Addendum: Here's a hint about what's coming up...anyone with a special cookie recipe who would like to share with the Horde...dig it out of your files and bring it to the playground at 4:00pm! | Recent Comments
