Cooking TNL Part II

[FirstBlood]

I got some rather bad food poisoning years ago and swore off seafood for quite some time. Now when I try pieces of stuff at work I just don't care for the flavor.

I'm so, so sorry.

Tonight I finally tried out making my own hummus. Followed a recipe that attempts to copy Bobbi's Best Hummus (local from philly, the best store bought hummus i've ever had). Upon initial tasting, it is delciously garlicky. I used my amazing immersion blender for the whole thing too, since I lack a food processor at the moment, and it worked flawlessly. Also added some roasted red peppers... because I could.

I like some shellfish and fish in general: shrimp, clams, mussels, and fish: Tilapia and Mahi-Mahi.

Also: Tuna steaks.

I have no idea what to eat tonight for dinner.

Tomorrow I am going to make a pan-fried steak with a red wine pan sauce, mashed potatoes, carrots and a side salad. I also want to try a recipe for bananna muffins with marscapone cream cheese icing. My mom sent me a bad-ass chrome Kitchen Aid mixer and I need to break it in.

jesus christ, that sounds awesome.

BTW this reminds me, I need a mixer and I need to take something out of the freezer for it to defrost.

edit: lamb chops.

I made some jello shots that look like orange slices for a party:



They are easy:

1 pkg orange jello
three oranges
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup vodka

Cut the oranges in half and scoop out the insides. Add the boiling water to the jello in a large bowl and stir until dissolved. Add vodka and continue stirring. Pour jello into a measuring cup and pour into orange halves. Chill until firm, about 3-4 hours. Cut into wedges. This was my first attempt, next time I will make them neater looking.

I made for dinner tonight:

2 Lamb Chops with rosemary and thyme
a side of Parmesan Cheese Pasta
and peas

No pics ...

Jello shots

What did you do with the interior? You could have juiced them and made up the difference with water. They would be extra orangey and WOW! real fruit juice

If you're doing Jello shots then flavor is not on your top priorities.

[Tones]

That's very true.
