Why roma? I don't buy those when they are cheap much less grow them.

Find yourself a nice heirloom tomato then you can continually regrow them from seeds inside the tomato. Forget the genetically modified stuff, that what the aggsy create in their lab.

Ok so---- I like cooking. It's one of my stress relievers when the gym or sex isn't working for me. I was getting pretty good at Neapolitan style food and the girl I was dating at the time was from Austria, and so she encouraged me to grow them so I could make the sauce more "home made" by not using tomatoes that were store bought. Well it was a REALLY hot summer that year and the heat just crushed them. on a different note, my ragu with meatballs is pretty fvcking on point these days.

As a guy who grew up with an Italian/Mexican mom, I agree with the girl. If you don't want to go through the effort of growing your own, try making your sauce from canned stewed tomatoes, you can still control the ingredients and call it homemade but it's just as easy as the Ragu. I personally do it this way.

I can't do Ragu or Paul Newman's sauce anymore. Once I learned how to make sauce from scratch, I can't go back.

I started playing with French food two years ago and I'm getting half way decent with it. I make a hellacious coq au vin (chicken and wine) but the two times I've tried to make a chocolate souffle i have just completely sh!t the bed with them.

French food makes women's panties fall off, and it makes them so fat they can't get them back on.

I done a few french dishes, I mainly do Italian as it's easier. I have a Kitchen aid stand mixer and I bought the pasta maker for it. Pasta is so much better made fresh. But damn it's a lot of work. I have great recipies for bolognese Sauce and Alfredo sauce. I also make this Walnut mushroom wine sauce that is just amazing.

My big thing lately has been Wok cooking trying to eat more Vegstables, however every time I cook I manage to get 90% meat and a few mushrooms and onions.

Try baby carrots, sugar snap peas and broccoli. And instead of using soy sauce or teriyaki sauce-- use Worcester........ I call it "redneck Woking".

 

[Son of Wasatch]

I should have mentioned the Sugar snap peas, I do like those. Don't do broccoli because when I do my stir fry I generally make enough for an army and then I portion it out and freeze it or refrigerate it and make several meals out of it . Broccoli gets too mushy when you microwave it. Usually eat the carrots uncooked, they are better that way.

Post a good, easy, healthy wok recipe! Time to get the wok out.

 

[oldhorn2]

if you use bacon grease instead of some wimpy oil in that wok, you get lots better compliments....

Post a good, easy, healthy wok recipe! Time to get the wok out.

Little bit of Virgin olive oil.
Minced garlic
Trim and cube some sirloin
Chop up baby carrots
Sugar snap peas
Thin sliced mushrooms
Bean sprouts

Cap full of soy, teriyaki, and worcester sauce.

Throw in the veggies first and move them around constantly.
Add your sirloin and cook until desired readiness of meat. I like it just seared.

Scoop you a couple serving spoon-fulls of rice and dump the wok contents on the rice and enjoy. Takes about 10 minutes.

 

[Son of Wasatch]

Mine is easier.

Trim some chicken breast (F-you doc)
Mince some garlic
chop a lot of mushrooms
chop some Onion.
Add something green for color
Add a little PF Chang's Mongolian BBQ sauce for a kick.
Stir fry in a little lite Olive Oil and
Boom Delicious for days.

BTW I always cook the meat first and then toss in the veggies with just enough water to get a little steam going. Learned that from watching the cooks at Ghangus Grill cook up my stir fry there.

These are some pictures of my garden this summer. Cherry tomatoes - Pico de Gallo. Okra - fresh and pickled, Cucumbers - fresh and pickled. I will be expanding the list but it takes time. The soil and automated watering systems are the main items for a successful garden, at least for me.




Spring - Summer garden. Yes, the garden is getting long in the tooth. The leafhoppers have appeared and I will be spraying some liquid soap on them after work today. I have already begun rotating seedlings in for fall garden.

That is comforting to learn, because I was getting concerned about the season when I kept reading that we have the fewest returning starters of any of the top tier contenders! Thanks for the info.

Epps is somewhere near 250 and runs very well and has good hands...... I have heard whispers that he is un guardable

Use at least canola oil instead. Olive oil’s smoke point is too low for true high heat wok cooking.
Sesame oil if you want what is really used. I use the chili infused sesame oil.

i would agree with you but I'm cooking on a glass top and it just doesn't work right like a gas cook top does. Plus I need to use healthier oils so I ditched the traditional oils for stull like Olive Oil Avocado oil and coconut oil.

I'll tell you what a 90 something year old Italian lady told me once as she was preparing food at her tiny osteria on the outskirts of Parma. She was extolling the virtues of cooking with olive oil instead of butter like the French do.

According to her, the butter, it clogs you up. The olive oil makes everything run through.

I wish I could imitate her Italian accent for you--- it made me laugh the way she made her facial expression when talking about being constipated verses pooping like a champ.

He was originally recruited at TE, correct?

 

[oldhorn2]
