I watched the Ultimate Recipe Challenge tonight. The judge in the middle was in a very arrogant mood tonight wasn't he?
The lady that made the grapefruit cake had bad luck written all over her. I'm surprised they aired that. After all, she left the leavening out of her cake??? I felt sorry for her all the way around. Poor thing.

Question for anybody that can answer it: what is with Booby Flake and the blue corn meal pancakes? Do people in other parts of the country typically use corn meal in pancakes or is it a BF thing?
Has anybody had pancakes with corn meal?

Also: Is it possible to make polenta or grits out of regular corn meal. Is grits just a Southern dish? When I lived in Salt Lake City, I asked the Albertson's clerk where the grits were. He said, "Where what is?" He had no idea what grits were.

Ingrid Hoffman was on early this morning, Richard. Simply Delicioso. I like the food she makes almost always.
How did you do your chorizo?

LOL, there is a dirty association about what people do with chorizo!

Cook the chorizo, drain the fat and then you can add onions, eggs or nopales (cactus).....the cactus is just like green beans and a wonderful way to finish off the dish. If you do add them to the dish put them in in this order?

Fry your chorizo, drain the fat off, add your cactus, drained, then toss in some eggs and scramble them.

The liquid in the cactus is sometimes slimy, you can rinse or put them out out to drain before you add them to the chorizo!

I know nothing about polenta/grits! That's gringo food?

-------------

The Flake thing might have to do with Tex Mex food. Corn, in the south west is a strange puppy. It's different colors, blue, red, yellow, white! And all those colors can show up on one cob! It's mostly a regional thing and when some cooks discover it, they ALWAYS us it-it's a signature thing and they cannot let go of it!

Veggie chorizo?

I am going to buy some in the next week and cook it.
I'll post the ingredients and give you a detailed report! LOL, I didn't know where to post the results, the recipe thread or ???
