I attended a funeral recently where the repast included an amazing Cream of Crab Soup, and I wanted to find a recipe. Since I'm a Marylander and love their crabcakes, Phillips is my first go-to for 'crab anything'. On their website, I found Shirley Phillips' recipe:

When you are taking care of a sick person who is trying to get his appetite back, you often wind up cooking things you don't normally eat; and instead of cooking double meals all the time you just wind up throwing in the towel and grabbing whatever you can here and there. Since Thanksgiving, I've gained 5 pounds!
It was time to go back to low-carbing, but I was tired of the things I'd been making. One thing that will always tempt me when I'm trying to diet is Mexican Food, and I found this recipe that looks very good, for a low-carb 'Taco' Casserole:

I also found a great recipe website called 'The Wolfe Pit'. It's not just low-carb, it has tons of good recipes of all kinds - but the recipes that are low carb look great. I love biscuits-and-gravy, and Larry Wolfe seems to have figured this out, using almond flour to make his biscuits:

Agreed, seafood is local like politics! I am glad I tried real Marseille bouillabaisse before I went kosher and before Marseille went Muslim, lol.
The closest we can get to “seafood” is like monkfish — or salmon roe.
Yes it does! I like it better than Gelson’s by a mile.
I go to the one in Beverly Hills, the site of the old Chasen’s Restaurant. They even preserved a bunch of booths from Chasen’s for the “food court”. And it’s the best food court, or food to go in a market, I’ve seen anywhere.
No danger here, I think, but where I was supposed to go today for my son is on the news with roads out and floods. Up in the hills where a fire raged last year. Slid mud. So glad we did not go.
Great! In Manhattan Beach the Bristol Farms had a secret, maybe yours does too. Grass fed ground beef from the USA CHEAPER than any of the regular grocery stores!! Who would have thought?
And I bet they have very good seafood buyers.
Welcome back!
Yaelle and CottonBall did an amazing job of putting together the Cooking Tread.
I sincerely appreciate the time and effort put in to this wonderful thread... I’m looking forward to making your crab soup recipe.
Agree about Gelsons. I am swimming in liberals here and surviving, but if I want the snobbiest, most cosmetically worked on, dumbest lib women around me I could attempt to go into the local Gelsons. But I just can’t handle it.
And that is amazing that they saved some Chasen’s booths for Bristol’s food court. Very cool. I don’t know if I remember Chasens but I know my parents took me into the Brown Derby.
I’ll bet they do too.
i wish they had more stores.
However, my two local Gelson’s just installed full on food fired Wolfgang puck Pizza Ovens, a full wine and beer bar with tapas, lots stuff.
And I bought 6 baby romaine lettuces just 3 or 4 inches long! yum!
When we were living aboard, we used to go to Skyway Jacks in St. Petersburg. They had a breakfast dish of corn cakes smothered in sausage gravy. Talk about stick-to-yer-ribs! You didn’t get hungry again until the next day.
It sounds so good with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy. I've discovered Idahoan brand of pkg mashed potatoes and today found a recipe for Better than Boullion beef gravy. Then combine with I think it was Chef John's mushroom gravy and sounds delish. Also Betty Crocker has some sour cream and garlic mashed potatoes and Yukon gold. I cut the butter down to 2 tbsp and have to tweak the liquid (I only like the kind you add your own milk and butter). To the Yukon gold, the final stir I stir in 1/2 8 oz pkg Kraft grated sharp cheddar. Yummy!
I found the recipe on a link from the Newser article I saw tonight. Gonna be a biotch to format but will try.
Mr. Trump’s Mother’s Meatloaf:
2 lbs fresh ground beef
1 Spanish onion (fine dice)
1 Red bell pepper (fine dice)
1 Green bell pepper (fine dice)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 large beefsteak tomato diced fine (remove seeds)
2 extra large fresh eggs
2/3 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ cup chopped parsley
2/3 cup of tomato puree
1/2 tablespoon of salt and pepper
1). In a large sauce pan slowly cook peppers, onion, garlic and tomato until the onions turn translucent and let cool.
2). In a large mixing bowl add ground beef, cooked cool vegetables, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and pepper and mix well.
3). Remove the mixture from bowl and place in a 14”x 9” x 2” ceramic baking dish and form into a loaf.
4). Top loaf with tomato puree and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes or until brown and firm.
5). Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes.
This is gonna sound insane but it’s true. It happened to me. You take monkfish, which is very dense, and poach it in Orange Crush, after having reduced said Orange Crush by half. Poor Man’s (or kosher girl’s) lobster.
Google it, I ain’t lyin :)
I’M HUNGRY!!!!
Still no Blue Apron!
I loved it when the delivery services extended their hours to MIDNIGHT ... but ...
I did thinly sliced Brussel sprouts that way. Toss with EVOO and some kosher salt and spread onto a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or nonstick foil. And when they get a little golden on the edges finish with a spritz of balsamic vinegar. SO good!
Chasen’s.... isn’t that where Liz Taylor and the Rat Pack held court? CA royalty, back in the day?
We used to spit out our lima beans into our napkins when we were kids and then quickly help Mom clear the table after dinner. She NEVER caught on! Hated them then, but actually like them as an adult. I like butterbeans or baby limas best, though.
Ha, so did my sister & I! Used to do it w/ cream of wheat & the hot Ralston cereal w/ Brown specks, gag.
Now I too love limas,husband hates them.
Mmmmm, I would so do this. Kosher lobster?? I am so in. Will google.
Ok, that does sound yum. I’m picturing (in better weather) a fast grill of those little romaines.
I can’t find the orange crush recipe for monkfish. I do want to.
Sadly, I saw what monkfish look like from your link. The face is so hideous. I need to bleach that face out of my memory so I can eat those suckers.
Oh yes. Brussels sprouts roasted, until they are crackly on the outside... so good.
