Something Delicious

[Dante]

Greetings everybody! Not sure if there is a particular topic for discussion, but, I love reading and learning.
I have it on good authority than our very own, Sun made killer enchiladas that I saw a pic of and am dying for his recipe!
lemons ......aids in detoxing & digestion. High in vitamin C. Burns fat & accelerates weight loss.

I made a very good salad the other day that I had the recipe for. Shredded cabbage, chopped radishes, green onions, and chopped cilantro. the dressing was simply lemon juice, and olive oil. The cilantro really made it delicious .

Thing about cilantro, peeps either hate it or love it. I love it, strong taste, like rosemary.

Regarding cheese ......
My mom had this cheese grater. It was all metal. It had a crank. Each blade was a round disc. It was the best! Super fast. I found one somewhere and bought my own. I don't have a pic, however. I swear the cheese tasted better using it.

My mom's recipe every Thanksgiving and Xmas.
Even though it is called onion pie, it is the cheese that makes it delicious. Similar to a quiche.


Onion Pie

Crust: 1 and 1/2 cups crushed soda crackers
1/2 cup melted butter
mix till crumbly and line large pie plate.

Saute 3 1/2 cups sliced onion in 1/2 cube butter.
Scald 1 cup milk. Let it cool. add the milk and 3 slightly beaten eggs to the onions. pour into the prepared pie plate.
Cover top w/ grated cheddar cheese.
Bake at 325 til brown, about a half hour.


Coconut ..... lowers cholesterol, improves diabetes, aids digestion, high in protein & calcium

Haz no taste buds

Sorry you're sick and no taste buds, Corkey.

Onions ....we have green onions, maui onions, red onions, which I only like in salads, cold, not cooked. white onions, brown onions, and pearl onions. I confess I have never had shallots and I am curious. are they good? what do they taste like?

Today was my mom's birthday, and it was sad for me looking at some of those recipes with her own hand-writing. sigh ...... I missed her a lot today. She was the best cook ever. One time she had a party for her friends, house warming, and she made so many appetizers, everyone was full and couldn't eat the dinner. lol

[fever]

I agree, Dante. I have been finding recipes written by mom, or Women's Weekly magazines where she has marked an article and then made a comment. She would then pass them on to me, so I would see each word of wisdom she thought I should know. Fondly I feel close to her at these times. Thanks for reminding me..........

Iz afeared I really can't describe a shallot, but I can eat them and not the others without pills. Go figure. They are probably not as strong in their chemical make up, which goes better with mah system. Back to bed, parental carbon units for lunch tomorrow, today, oy'

I like shallots, do you mean the green ones? I'm not sure if that you call shallots and what we call shallots is the same thing - they look like these:
http://www.taste.com.au/how+to/artic...green+shallots

They taste a bit less intense than onion. If you've had chives or leeks, they are kind of like that. Oniony but planty as well (those are technical terms, by the way) - lol

Happy birthday to your Mom. I'm like that with my Grandma's recipes. They are so special because they are in her handwriting. Hugs to you - I miss my Grandma too.

Shallots, to me, are a different thing. Here is a link to what I understand as shallots: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recip...363/index.html . They are kind of a mix between onions and garlic, and are very good.

I just saw a recipe for caramelized shallots on a website, that I am looking forwards to trying out soon. I shan't give out the recipe yet, as I haven't tried it out. Besides, it is someone else's recipe, and she has her own website, so that wouldn't be fair to her.

Oh, they look just like little onions!
Funny how things differ between regions and countries.

We don't say cilantro at all here, it's just coriander. Fresh coriander / coriander leaves, otherwise just coriander if it's the dried, ground seeds. I like the idea of calling it cilantro as it eliminates any doubt. I bet it's caused a lot of confusion when Americans have come across a recipe from Australia (or England, I think)

Those I call scallions, shallots are the lil purple ones sometimes with two in a bulb.

Good evening everyone!

My apologies for not keeping up on this thread for a few days. I hope everyone is taking care.

Tonight I made a veggie chili. I used ground soy browned and seasoned instead of the ground beef. It turned out amazing. I even put it into a bread bowl and topped it with a bit of light cheddar.

What does everyone like to eat on a cold winter night?

Oooh, I love winter food. Soups and stews - it's real comfort food.
Can't wait for the cooler weather to come 'round again.

Your veggie chili sounds wonderful!

Don't forget banana shallots too.

Shallots = smaller, less 'aggressive', posh hunions.

We are enjoying Beef stew tonight. My honey makes it with beef chunks (grass fed), multi coloured carrots, potato, thyme, tomato, beef stock, garlic, onions and I'm sure I'm missing something. I just come prepared with an hungry appetite.
