Weekly Cooking (and related issues) Thread

Email news this week brought this Betty Crocker recipe for Ravioli Casserole that looks very good for an easy, work-night meal made partly from prepared foods:

Trying to ‘zing up’ my husband’s favorite roast pork loin, I found several recipes for pork that include a fruit chutney that doesn’t look too pungent:

We often buy the Classico tomato sauce, for making Eggplant Parmigiana, and we think it’s an excellent bottled tomato sauce.

But I’ve never found a bottled Alfredo sauce that isn’t ‘chalky’. I think that’s something best made from scratch. (Just my humble opinion.)

Looks like a great place. If I think about what I’m eating I feel a little bad though but it doesn’t stop me from eating it.

Thanks for the tip! Maybe that’s why the pulled pork and Jambalaya are the only things that turned out well ;-)

The tomato sounds good. Can you please post your scratch Alfredo recipe?

Oh yes!

I laugh everytime I hear the well know French chef Ludo Lefebvre talking about how much he loves “ranch dressing” in his heavy French accent.

Everyone loves ranch dressing!

My Alfredo recipe is equal parts cheese and butter. With that as the basic concept, variations can be made- saute garlic in the butter before adding cheese, add a pinch of nutmeg (I don’t like it), and / or herbs. A very good variation is adding a good squeeze or orange. I will also add cream to make it thinner at times, too. I tried bottled once. It was awful. It tasted like wheat. Anyway, that’s my version.

I dunno. The idea of breaking ‘the traditional boundaries that separate the kitchen from the guest’ seems to be one of those faddish things that has become quite old, already...

I’m looking forward to a future where the kitchen is hidden, and guests will again enjoy the art, without having to witness “daylight upon magic.”

I used to think the Vietnamese roasted the marro bones first, nut be the old folks do but shortcuts is nice.

They tell me they don’t roast them.

Still... Pho Tai nam is sublime
