Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
From the Book of Bourdain, Ch 7, vs 11-21
"How about swordfish? I like it fine. But my seafood purveyor, when he goes out to dinner, won't eat it. He's seen too many of those 3ft-long parasitic worms that riddle the fish's flesh. You see a few of these babies - and we all do - and you won't be tucking into swordfish anytime soon."
A couple months ago I made ankimo, which is the liver from a monkfish and is abso-freaking-lootley delicious.
(My plate)
The traditional method of cooking the dish is to treat it essentially like a torchon; roll it in a towel and steam it. But the first step, it says here, is to salt the lobe and let it sit in the fridge overnight....... to coax all the wormy parasites to the surface so they can be extracted.

Mrs Tif does not know about this, nor will she ever learn of it.

That worm was about 1 1/2" long. The ones in swordfish are about 3 feet long.mac5155 wrote:those worms are in swordfish?

As long as you trust the purveyor, have at it. But if you're buying fish at, say, Giant Eagle............. well, it's your call. But if it were me, I wouldn't get sword at a mass grocer.
Shoot, I haven't cooked sword in probably 10 years.

Not knowing your cooking chops compared to those that post in this forum that have chops, you, sir, must have chops.
(when Jack Daniels and i meet, i usually reduce Jack Daniels into a surefire headache.)

Dear baby Jesus,
Thank you for letting DirecTV broadcast Cooking Channel in HD.
Regards, Tif

I wonder why "Delmonico" is such a vogue term in PA? I grew up with it, but pretty much everywhere else in the world calls it a ribeye..... which is what I call the cut now. I also call it "my favorite". I know it's associated with Delmoico's in NYC, which is widely regarded as the first real restaurant in the U.S. But beyond that....... hmmmm.
Porterhouse cuts are great, but I like it only if I can get a double cut; seriously, 3" thick, seaasoned with huge amounts of salt, flash grilled over coals to rare doneness, sliced thin and plated with an arugula salad with evoo and shaved Parm.

If chops = the ability to read up about pan frying, then yeah I have chops. haha. I actually really liked the Jack Daniels sauce, but I did let it cook for a little too long.BigMcK wrote:mac, right now, I am at total amazement factor X 10!mac5155 wrote:I went with a Porter house pan seared with a jack Daniels reduction sauce over linguine tossed in evoo.

Not knowing when it's time to stop cooking a pan sauce is my achilles heel.

I bought a New York strip roast there and made it for Christmas dinner. Was about $35 and turned out really well.mac5155 wrote:It is my fiancee's birthday and I have a $25 gift card for Market District. What should I get to make her?

I have a mushroom addiction. every dinner now has some sort of mushroom, mushroom/onion component to it. I go to the store a couple times a week just to buy mushrooms. this happens like once a year where i just cant let them go.

More new culinary websites to share:

And
http://www.terraspicecompany.com/
All I know is that Modernist Pantry has meat glue (transglutaminase) for $13. So I'm gonna get a packet and make me some noodles out of extruded shrimp and have a ball.

I've started making my pizzas in my new cast iron skillet. It's so good. I don't think i'll go back to a different way of cooking it until summer where I enjoy grilling my pizza.

Do you not use your grill during the winter?count2infinity wrote:I've started making my pizzas in my new cast iron skillet. It's so good. I don't think i'll go back to a different way of cooking it until summer where I enjoy grilling my pizza.
My grill use does not decline at all during the cold weather. Granted it's about three steps from my front door on the deck, but I just can't quit that thing even when it is 10 degrees outside.
