Yeah i usually clean my board or get a new one when i switch between meat and veggies.  It's not worth getting sick over doing a couple more dishes.

Add raw eggs at the end of that list, also. Dishes that use uncooked egg (eg. mouse, mayonnaise) are one of the more dangerous types of food as far as Salmonella enteritidis goes.

It depends.  To reliably kill salmonella, you need to hit 165F for 15 seconds.  If you were simply trimming the ends off some green beans before blanching, they could potentially be contaminated, and wouldn't reach the 165F mark.  Would they be safe to eat?

Probably

As someone who has had salmonella before, probably is not good enough for me.  Salmonella is a shitty disease.

The basic heirarchy is Ready to eat food > raw vegetables > whole muscle or steak beef > pork and ground beef > fish > poultry.

Something higher on the list won't contaminate something lower on the list.
I am pretty sure fish is higher up on that list because I know you have to cook it the lowest.  The way I was always taught the temps to cook food is the farther from the ground the higher the temp.  So fish, pork, beef, ground beef/pork, poultry(you have to pretend all birds fly for this.).  But maybe i am wrong.

Rule of thumb: Raw meat is like inviting the skank to the orgy--everybody walks away infected.

I usually use a tephlon-ish cutting board for meat and a wood board for vegetables/etc anyways.

And yeah, that flip n' cut thing is horrifying.

Speaking of Rachel Ray, here's her show covering (ironically) germs in on your purse.

Add raw eggs at the end of that list, also. Dishes that use uncooked egg (eg. mouse, mayonnaise) are one of the more dangerous types of food as far as Salmonella enteritidis goes.
Eh, I dunno. The raw egg thing is sorta overrated. I mean it's literally 1/1000 chance. According to the FDA you're not even supposed ot have over-easy or Cesar salads.  Hell, Rocky drank raw eggs!



EDIT: Did you know the average toilet is cleaner than the average kitchen?

1/1000 is pretty high, actually.

Last night I manipulated my housemate into cooking chilli con carne with baked potatoes and corn bread!

It was a good meal. I had never had corn bread before, and I like it!

It's kind of hard to argue with you if you're not going to share the recipe. I mean, I only know one recipe for cornbread, but how the hell am I supposed to know if it's the one you're talking about or not?

Incidentally, it was delicious fresh out of the oven (like all bread), but not so flash after that. But then I'm not the biggest corn fan.

But where would the fun be if I gave away the recipe?

There are seriously many many great recipes(167 according to allrecipes.com. The most important parts imo:  Uses a cast iron skillet to make it. Put oil in the skillet, put the skillet in the oven, preheat skillet and oil. Mix your batter and when your oil is hot ONLY THEN do you add the oil. I have no idea why this is important but my mother made me learn it and when I don't it comes out crappy. If it isn't damned good cold, you didn't use enough milk, prolly. It dries out very quickly. But you can use dry cornbread for a ton of other things: Make yourself corned beefg and cabbage and soak up the juices with it. Pot lach juices are good on it. If you crumble it up in black eyes peas and mix some mayo in there it's pretty sweet. And old folks crumble it into buttermilk (or just milk) to eat it.

I once ground them in a coffeegrinder then transferred them to a blender an added some vinegar and ...I don't remember if there was anything else. It made fuckin' spicy brown mustard.

Also, Guido's cornbread "recipe" is the correct one assuming he means "only then do you add the batter" because the oil should already be in there.

The higher the temperature, the closer to the ground. Chicken needs to be cooked to 165, so why would you put it on top of beef, which might only be getting cooked to 125, and have the beef infected with salmonella.


I made a sandwich for breakfast today, and it might send me to hell.  It was honeyglazed ham with white cheddar and spicy mustard, but the only bread I had to make it with was Challah, which I toasted briefly.


Forthe mustard seeds, grind them and mix them with some red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper, until you get a slightly runny consistency.  Marinate some chicken in that mixture overnight, and roll the chicken in crushed pretzels.  Bake it on a rack and serve it with sauerkrat sauteed with a bit of bacon and onion.

Guido, I'm pretty sure I would not like your cornbread recipe. I'm used to 50-50 proportions of whole wheat and white flour, which produces a much denser, heartier bread than other people tend to make. If your cornbread is sweet, you fail.

Eh, I guess it's supposedly the 'real' cornbread, since most people tend to make it that way. It makes me want to vomit and go running for the whole wheat.
Basically I'm saying cornbread, along with lots of other recipes, are pretty much up to the individual eating it to decide what the One True Holy Grail Recipe should be.

The secret to cornbread is

1. Giant stick of butter
2. Cornmeal
3. ????
4. Profit

Actually, buddah and bacon fat might be the secret to ALL southern cooking. This kid knows what is going on.

Erm...No. You actually heat the oil in the pan, then pour the hot oil into your batter and mix it in. Here's my family recipe:

2 cups self rising cornmeal
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup of oil.
Put your oil in a large cast iron skillet and heat preheat it to 450. Mix the cornmeal and milk and egg. Pull the skillet and pour the oil in the mix, and mix it in. Pour it all in the skillet and stick it back in the oven for 20 minutes or so until it turns a nice golden color. The reason the buttermilk varies is due to humidity etc of the cornmeal. You'll need to adjust it a bit.

This is the basic cornbread recipe. everything else is just being froofroo. If it doesn't come out nice and moist you aren't using enough milk. You can use buttermilk instead of milk, but leave the egg out or it comes out way too moist.

and the kid is right. Bacon drippings are the shit. Short of that use lard. Don't use butter except to slather it on top of the finished product.

redglass, you aren't eating cornbread. You are eating wheatbread. My cornbread is only very slightly sweet--cornmeal imparts a slightly sweet, nutty flavor to the bread. People taht dump sugar in there are just being gross, imo.

I like your version a lot, actually. But it's not basic southern cornbread. Yours goes really well on any plate of Mexican food but I'd replace the cheddar with sweet corn.*shudders*  I think yours is more an Incan style bread, while southern cornbread is a SE American Indian thing.

When I lived in LA there was this little old guy who sold nothing but tamales and oh my god they were so good! I have tried for years to replicate it but I think he had some super secret Incan ingredient that the rest of us will never know about. I think it was something to do with the cornmeal.

Thanks, now I miss my short trip to Arizona and New Mexico.

WTB authentic SW cooking recipes.

I just got back to reading this thread and WTF stuffed bell peppers are such fake bullshit SW cooking. I have never gone to a restaurant here and the establishment is like "HEY MAN, TRY OUR BELL PEPPERS." except for like Applebees or some crap.

Real food:

Take a green chile, slice it open, fill it with cheddar or jack, dip it in egg batter, fry that fucker golden. Smother it in more green chile sauce. Refried beans and fried potatoes all golden delicious on the side. Eat that.

Thats chile rellano.  And the Bell pepper thing is a variation of southwestern.  Mostly because it is all i had.  And in New Mexico they use a lot of peppers.  When I was in Santa Fe they pretty much shoved them down my throat, not that i mind.

I'll be making shearer stew with dumplings for a potluck Thursday. Given that it's an Australian dish and many of the forumites here are Australian, I thought I'd see what input you all might have.

Shearer Stew
2lbs Boneless lamb shoulder, 1" cubes
2oz oil
2oz flour
8oz onions, 1/4" dice
4oz carrots, 1/4" dice
4oz celery 1/4" dice
1 green pepper, roasted and peeled, 1/4" dice
2oz garlic, minced
1-2qts lamb stock
1 lb new potatoes, 1/4" dice
salt, black pepper, and worcestershire suace to taste

Sear the meat in 1oz oil and 1oz flour, remove from pan. Add remaining oil, and cook onions, celery, carrots, and peppers over low heat until softened, mixing in remaining flour and stirring until well coated.  Add lamb stock, seared lamb and potatoes, cover, and simmer until tender.

Thoughts?

I'll probably addthe potatoes later than the recipe calls for, as I don't want them to disintegrate.

Stew recipe looks good! If you wanted to go for the super Australian meal, I guess you could make damper instead of dumplings. Not that many people here actually eat damper that often, but it's a pretty shearer-y thing to eat. Bonus points if you cook it in a fire.

Also Misconception that pasta looks amazing.

Most of Australian food is stolen from someone else, really*. That stew recipe could just have easily been from anywhere in the U.K.

Because I never got to respond to this, my family recipe does in fact have sweet corn in it, and we maybe add like a teaspoon or two of sugar to it as well, the cheddar and the jalapenos is just something my dad does on occasion when he feels like it. You'll be happy to know that we do in fact use a deep iron skillet and heat the oil first though. Our recipe is definitely more Border food Tejas cookin', because that's where we're from.

Also, Chile Rellenos aren't made with bell peppers, they're usually made with a very specific chile pepper called a Pablano. Stuffed Bell Peppers are an entirely different beast, usually not spicy.

I don't know what chile rellenos are, but my friend's brother works at an organic grocer and bought pounds of past-prime hot peppers, which we stuffed with cheese, garlic, and cilantro and baked. Roasting the peppers sweetens them and mellows the heat a little, and the cheese compensates for the spice still present. Same general idea?


P.S. Now that I think of it, I had a cookbook that made chicken-chile-rellenos, where in you sliced a chicken breast in half (so you've got two broad, thin pieces), pounded them as flat as can be, then rolled each half up around a jalapeno and some jack then breaded and baked them. I'd serve them with caramelized sliced bell pepper and spanish rice, which was a pretty delicious, easy meal.

Chille Rellanos is a stuffed poblano pepper that is breaded and fried.  I can't remember the stuffing normally, but i do chorizo and queso fresco in there normally.

That is not a Chile relleno recipe. Pablano peppers are much larger than jalapenos, James, and the stuffing goes inside them. Then they are coated in batter and deep fried. if something like chicken were to go in them I'd heavily spice it and shred it. cheese is usually a must. Your other pepper recipes sound like they'd taste okay though.

It was from the 'Better Homes and Gardens' cookbook that my mom bought me when I first moved out, so I'm not surprised that it's not the real deal. That book's idea of curry is 'make white sauce, add curry powder, add to cooked meat'.

I always found stuffed bell peppers to be not really worth the effort. It's a nice concept and looks pretty, but it doesn't actually make the stuffing that much better to be eating it out of a big pepper instead of a plate/bowl. I like stuffed tinier peppers because you get more pepper to filling.

Lleno=full. Relleno=refilled.
Chiles rellenos=refilled chili peppers.
Huevos rellenos=deviled eggs (huevos del diablo=testicles).
Pollo relleno=stuffed chicken (at my host family's house in guatemala they actually deboned the chicken, filled it with meat and vegetables, and sewed it shut with needle and thread).

"Proper" chiles rellenos as we are used to them from the southwestern US are poblano peppers filled with cheese and sometimes meat and then breaded and deep fried, but I think it's not incorrect to call any filled chili pepper a "chile relleno".

In other news, for supper I had a piece of leftover pepperoni pizza with a dab of plain hummus on top. It was edible but not really great.

The correct pepper for a relleno is a New Mexican green chile from Hatch, NM.

speaking of chilies, I made chili!

it was awesome.

It was a tomato based chili with grounds beef, pulled chicken, kidney beans, onions, green and red bell peppers, and red chilies.  I simmered the whole thing with chicken stock I made earlier and added a cup of a strong bock my roommate had (I forgot the name).  I let it simmer for about 2 hours, it was pretty thick by the time dinner rolled around.

the only thing better than chili for dinner, is a breakfast burrito the next morning made of chili, scrambled eggs, and chedder cheese with a strong cup of coffee.

It's very much not cooking but I had nice ice cream for breakfast today. Also two boiled eggs which were boiled as hard as bullets because I like them that way.

My favourite sandwich is cold mashed potato with salad cream mashed into it, between seeded brown bread. There is nothing more filling and delicious, unless it is the aforementioned sandwich with tomato slices in it too.

This is not open for debate.

Hatch area green chiles are good, but not the best for chile relleno, i still prefer the pablano by far, usually because of its size and spicyness level. Most of the Hatch varieties just aren't big enough, and their long skinny shape isn't conducive to stuffing full of cheesy goodness.

I mean, this guy is all well in good, but nothing compared to this beast.

Karamazov, that is a decent sounding chili recipe.

I baked lovely cinnamon rolls today! I thought I'd killed the yeast, but they turned out okay after all, and they rose okay. Not as good looking as they were the last time I baked them aaaages ago, but they tasted better, so I guess that's a decent compromise.

What exactly is "sukker"? Is it flour?

Also those look delicious and I would like to have them right now.

"Sukker" is sugar. Flour is "mel" ("siktet hvetemel" in the picture). And they were quite delicious, I had to put them in the freezer so that I wouldn't eat them all too quickly :p
