Clam juice just sounds revolting.

But I think I'm gonna try this. Only thing I'm not sure where to get is the fish stock.

Got some crawfish in the freezer might throw them in too. They were pretty gamey when I ate the other half of em, should fit in with clam juice

Edit: looks like whole foods has canned fish stock. There's a few other things I want from there so I'll make a trip.

I did think of wheel when I was writing that.

Anyone have a good recipe for Elk steaks?

Very helpful....

Lasagna recipe: Nothing special. Google it.

Brownies: buy a box of brownie mix, add eggs, water, oil. Mix the batter. Pour into a 9x9 pan. Bake until done.

topped for the Summer...

Gonna fire up the grill tomorrow for the belated birthday dinner for our son. Nothing fancy, a couple of steaks, some teriyaki chicken thighs, hot dogs and everyone’s favorite: Italian dressing marinated zucchini

We’ve been doing the zucchini thing for decades and always thought it was a standard dish but recently talked to a buddy of mine and he hadn’t heard of it. But so simple even I can do it. Cut the zucchini into eighths, lengthwise. Place into a Ziploc bag, pour in your favorite Ital dressing and let marinate overnight (…or as many hours as you can…). Grill and eat!

Conan wrote somewhere else...

"Wife made 3 lbs. of char siu again, using a family recipe from her cousin’s husband’s mother.

The house was smelling so good while it was in the oven.

The results, especially while still warm, were super delicious! 😋"


time to share the recipe

I just got a back scratcher....

Oops, missed this. I’ll go look for and then post it later today.

One of you fellas recommended dark chocolate pieces in chili. I’ve checked this thread and the deer chili thread. Doesn’t matter but wanted to give credit. I tried it tonight. Made a very good batch of chili.

White kidney beans
Black beans
Black eyed peas
Fresh red and white onion
Frozen tomatoes from my yard
Frozen pablano and multi colored bell peppers from my yard
Chili powder ground cayenne
Basically just whatever I had went in. Added good plop of dark chocolate Turned out great. Whoever mentioned that it works well

Yes! Thank you, Sir.

Bought some oxtail recently but can’t find the oxtail stew recipe I used the last time. Anyone have a good one?

Lemme ask the wifey... maybe she does.

She directed me to an online recipe she uses.

2 ½ lbs. Oxtail
1 Knorr beef Cube
2 bunches baby bokchoy or pechay
1 medium Chined eggplant sliced
10 pieces snake beans sitaw, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 small fresh banana blossom puso ng saging, sliced
¾ cups annatto water ½ cup annatto seeds soaked in ¾ cups water
¾ cup peanut butter
½ cup ground peanut
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup bagoong alamang
1 medium yellow onion chopped
3 cloves garlic crushed
4 to 6 cups water
3 tablespoons cooking oil

Heat oil in a cooking pot.
Saute garlic and onion.
Once the onion becomes soft, saute the Oxtail until light brown.
Pour water into the the pot. Let boil.
Add Knorr Beef Cube. Stir. Cover and cook between low to medium heat until the oxtail becomes tender. Note: This will take around 2 to 2 1/2 hours for conventional cooking, and 30 to 40 minutes if a pressure cooker is used.
Add peanut butter and ground peanuts. Stir.
Pour annatto water. Cook for 3 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold water. Stir. Pour the mixture into the pot. Stir until the sauce gets thicker.
Add banana blossoms. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add eggplant and snake beans (sitaw). Cook for 5 minutes.
Put the bok choy into the pot. Stir. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Transfer to a serving dish. Serve with bagoong alamang.

I'd be willing to bet you can get all those ingredients in Hawaii.

For budget minded folks... How to turn inexpensive cuts of steak into prime rib

I think it was ThunderGerbil that posted this link (or something similar) many years ago. I've never heard of doing this until he posted it. Prime rib might be an exaggeration but it works well if done as described and pretty simple to do.

^That sounds delicious and I have all the ingredients... just need to let the avocados ripen.

What's your best burger recipe?

Just plain straight up burger with salt and pepper or do you add some secret ingredients?

Good friend of mine makes the most scrumptious burgers (talking indoor fry pan, not on the grill). Plain old 80/20 burger meat, salt and pepper but her secret is to add some water to the pan and a chunk of beef bullion while frying it. Then place on a toasted buttered bun with what ever fixin's you want (pickle, lettuce, and cheese for me but also bacon if offered and available).

In WI, lots of places do the butter burgers which are luscious too.

What's your secret recipe?

Two NINE! NINE!
