Steamed white rice ??????? How would you go about doing that ?
Im thinking raw rice grain is pretty hard then steam it ? or you mean already prepared rice is steamed ?

I usually boil rice either in a small pan or the rice cooker.

[fuerein]

I haven't done anything but eat leftover pizza and some TacoBell for meals. However, I had half a pineapple sitting in the fridge that I had purchased several days ago but never cut up. Well, I just cut the core and skin off and chopped it up. Man, do I ever love freshly chopped pineapple! Yum. Beats the canned stuff any day of the week.

My friend, pineapple is my favorite fruit! And I agree, it just is not the same out of the can.

[Queen of Blades]

Fresh pineapple is just awesome.

I never ate anything but canned pineapple, until I got pregnant, and then I discovered fresh pineapple somehow. I prefer fresh but if I buy canned it is Del Monte. It is the closest to fresh. I probably couldn't tell the difference in a taste test.

[TraderJoe]

I probably couldn't tell the difference in a taste test.

Clearly, you haven't had a Really good pineapple, or one from Maui :D

Tonight, it's sauerbraten, potato dumplings and kraut. Been meaning to try this for a long time, but never seemed to think of it when I could do anything about it. Tonight's the night! Seven minutes left on the timer...my entire house has smelled absolutely WONDERFUL for the last couple of hours...we'll see if it tastes as good as it smells.

Interesting. So what you're saying is that you like to eat pineapple, but only with mayonnaise? :confused:

[Queen of Blades]

Aha! Thank you for clarification...that makes sense. :)

[Queen of Blades]

[Edcculus]

We had an awesome Low Country Boil last night for the Superbowl.

For those not familiar with the dish, it is shrimp, potatoes, corn, sausage, crab legs, and onion all cooked together with Old Bay seasoning (although I prefer the locally made Coaches Crab seasoning)

[SSLSTudio...]

Today was Mihoen (tiny rice noodles) with big Gamba's (big shrimp) and veggies
its looks like what I had in the weekend but its not.

Gamba's you can wake me up anytime of the day to eat those.

[Mottern Man]

Did you cook that Will!? :) yummy!!

Well I would hate to say it.

But I am the cook around this house..........even if my wife is home.

We usually share the cooking details but for some reason unknown to me (cuz I'm a dumb man) I cook more than her. :p

[Mottern Man]

Tonight it will be..........

Gilled Chicken (secrect doc style seasoning:D ).

With Rice and mixed Veggies.

Currently working on a tin of Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake.

This stuff is devine! Beautiful flake with latakia and a very subtle hint of cocoa. No greasy aromatics in here.

[rick]

Mike:

Is that the same as |
Bob's Chocolate Flake ???
I've got a tin of BCF buried somewhere.....must...try..soon.

[msandoval858]

Not sure, I've never had Bob's. I remember hearing about it a long time ago but never got around to picking one up. I usually steer clear of any blend with a food in the name, lol

A good friend of mine recommended the Gawith to me and finally put a tin in my hand and forced me to try it. I don't smoke my pipes too often these days as I'm usually a cigar smoker, but this blend might shift things a bit for me :)

Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup, W/ Grilled cheese (American on Texas Toast). :D

[Michael]

...on Texas Toast).

Hey, Doc, ever make your own Texas Toast? The garlic variety, I mean? I like the frozen stuff, so I decided to try my own. I use fresh Italian bread from the grocery store, brush a little ev olive oil on both sides, then butter both sides (can you hear the arteries closing up?), a little kosher salt and sprinkle with chopped fresh thyme. Under the broiler on a sheet pan til it's brown enough to suit (and then flip it of course). Careful...easy to overdo!! Don't ask me how I know that!

Then, when it's done, slice a peeled garlic clove in half and rub that sucker all over both sides of the toast. Now, I'm getting hungry!!

I've tried it with just olive oil, just butter and with both. Both wins - but the others ain't bad!! :eatdrink020

[Mottern Man]

I will have to give that a shot, thanks for the idea.:D

I haven't made my own yet.
