It doesn’t splatter bacon grease all over the inside of your microwave?
I got my mom’s old cracked pizza peel and was excited to use it. Made olive oil pizza crust from the Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a Day cookbook. It was delicious, but to feed my family of eight it took about five pizzas and my kitchen felt like it was 100 degrees when I finally got to eat. Couldn’t have done it without the peel, but I’m not sure when I’ll use it again.
I need that!
My homemade bread is hard to slice. At least, the softer breads are.
Mix some dill, fresh is great, but dried will work too, chop it up and mix it with dijon mustard (or plain old Guldens or French’s if that’s all you have) Smear it on the salmon, then broil or grill. Squeeze a bit of lemon on when the salmon is done and chow-down.
Tuna steak - course ground pepper on all sides, sear, then make a lime-ginger-wasbabi mix to dip it in. Tunas best very rare!
Shark steak - cover with cajun seasoning, put a dry, cast iron pan on a grill and get it real hot, then blacken the shark by throwing it on the cast iron pan. It will smoke like crazy, so do it on the grill or get ready for the fire department to show up. :-) Flip and blacken the second side. Great with a compound lemon-garlic butter added at the end if you are allowing fat in your diet.
(I traded bread for fat, and haven’t looked back. Lost over 30 pounds and have kept it off for over 3 years now. If I could give up wine or the occasional cocktail, I could know off the last 15)
I still love mine. Don’t make bread too often and only for the guys, not for me, but I let the machine do the kneading and rising, then I just shape, 2nd rise, and back.
got mine as wedding a present over 22 years ago. Marriage and machine still going strong.
hmmm, wonder how that would work in an Italian outdoor pizza oven?
Just bought my first ricer on Monday. Had a gift certificate from Christmas and the store was going out of business so I figured I’d better get there and use it quick,
I got it not to rice ‘taters, but to squeeze greens. We grow a wide variety of greens over the summer and I like to freeze them. It’s a pain to try to squeeze the water out after blanching by hand. This should make things easier.
And sugar and processed foods.
I have spent years going up and down. Got my weight down to "too thin" back 25 years ago. Only way i could keep it there was by smoking and starving and taking too many laxatives. That wasn't a good thing.
Now, I eat veggies, good proteins, some fruit, a few seeds and nuts, and healthy fats (natural stuff like avocados, olive oil, butter, lard, tallow,etc.) . Lost weight, and I found that I get full quick eating a reasonable amount of food.
But this is just my personal experience. I spent years being hungry all the time. Now, it's nice to feel full.
I have no idea where that peel went. It was mainly wooden, but I found a metal strip in the junk pile to line the leading edge with.
As I said.. not today.

Got a sealer thingy two years ago so all I need is the water oven.
Fresh squeezed lime is great on any white fish, and it’s great on chicken, too.
In a pinch, I’ll add some to canned chicken soup; this adds some healthy flavor to the generally-bland low-sodium variety.
I mix salsa with canned tuna for a quick meal, and dijon-style mustard replaces mayo for a spicy tuna or chicken salad.
It’s a bit of a splurge, but I brush maple syrup on salmon steaks and either grill, or put the salmon in a Corningware dish and bake in a pre-heated 350-degree oven..when the fish begins to flake it’s done.
Hope these little recipes help..!!
That would hit the spot right about now. Last time I had brownies with ice cream, I put Bailey’s in them. They taste so good like that.
I can’t believe I leave the house for two hours and so many people give such nice and great advice!!!
What a great thing FR is. Thanks to each and every person that replied.
I will absorb all the suggestions tonight and look forward to some yummy fish dinners!! :)
For the shark, I'd look to Spice Exchange Tequila Ginger Lime or Dark Rum Coconut Pineapple marinades. If you're into de islands, Mon, Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning is the authentic rub.
All these products have intense, high quality flavors. A little bit goes a long way!
Thank you!! I just sent out one big thank you as I left the house for 2 hours and got so many helpful responses. I will print them all out and shop for the ingredients!!
That is the difference between a conservative site like FR and DU.
too many great people to count on this board to count!
Actually, the salmon was the best tasting one so far. I like shark and the tuna steak, well, it’s tuna steak,.
I don’t think I have ever tried another type of fish. there are many, I would think.
Yeah, the whole home-made ice-cream and brownie thing was sorta good.
A year ago I wouldn't have been able to stand it.

Bread hard to slice? You need a bread knife. I’m serious. We eat only homemade bread, and this knife has been amazing. Soft bread. Crusty bread. It all cuts great AND you can play Star Wars light saber with it:

I’ve been on a brownie kick since December. I like adding spoon fulls (about 12) of homemade cookie dough to the batter after I pour it into the dish. Top two are peanut butter cookie dough and ghiradelli chip cookie dough. No one is complaining!
