Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

I have to laugh, I watched the Ultimate Recipe and almost had a meltdown.

Were the cooks tonight a little catty?

What happened to the scores of the first round? 80's? The scoring leave me baffled.

Hot and Spicy are two different things. It's really difficult to do both in the same dish. I love hot and spicy, but not Nuclear and Heartburn.

I have to agree with the judges about naming a food and not keeping true to the origin.

The lady judge on the left makes me want to strangle her.

IF YOU GET A FACELIFT, CUT YOUR HAIR SO IT DOESN'T hang in your face.
I really hate to see people at a table with their hair flapping all over their pie holes!

I havent seen the FN in over 7 years. I will take nuclear over heartburn 8 days a week.

What was with the contestants minding each other's business so much? I don't remember any other URS when peeps were being so nosy about their neighbor. So busy, in fact, they were having trouble making their own dishes.

I also thought the judges went from "everything is great" to "nothing is great". They seemed really critical last night when I never thought they were before. Especially the lady from Family Circle. She loves everything!!
The judge in the middle acted like he was having a really bad day.

When the judges said none of the dishes had enough heat, I would have doubled up on the heat in the second round. Give em what they want!

Did anybody see the Neely's yesterday? The one where they made the chicken wings. The rub they made was cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, black pepper and some other things. They made a sauce out of horseradish, cayenne, and something else.
I hope they had their guests sign waivers before eating them. FIRE!!!

blue,

Me too, i like nuclear but as you get older you have to pick and choose your menus! Sometimes the recipes on the FN go overboard with the spice.

D&D,


How could I have forgotten the Potato, Egg and Chorizo breakfast?


Dice up some taters and fry them, Take them out of the pan then fry the chorizo, add eggs and scramble-toss the taters back in.

You can eat them on a plate with some salsa or heat up a flour tortilla, scoop some fillng into it, cheese on top, roll it up with salsa on the side.

It's friggin awesome -some peope think that a spicy breakfast like that kills a hangover!

-------------------
I just made a pan of Reynaldo's "Soya Chorizo".

The ingredients are textured soy protein, water, veg oil, vinegar, paprika, salt red pepper and garlic.

1 to 10 scale? 10 being best?

8!


The taste is almost there-it's the texture thing.

Regular chorizo fries out into a mush as it heats up, The SC crumbles and there is not much fat in the recipe- A good thing!

I skinned the link-I cooked only half because you get twice as much soy sausage than a regular link
of chorizo. I made some diced fried taters, cooked in bacon fat,then cooked the chorizo, tossed in two eggs, scrambled it all up and added back the potatoes to heat them up and dug in.

No too bad. If you had take abreak from the pork or beef styles because of health/ weight issues, you still can have this as a replacement.

One thing?

Watch your heat and add some oil or fat to chorizo-it cooks quickly and I feel it could burn quickly!

How cool!!! Today for lunch I had eggs with chorizo and potatoes. It was so delicious. I'll try the salsa the next time.
Thanks for all the great suggestions!!

I think chorizo would burn easily too. I'm being pretty gentle with it.

I was watching Ask Aida and she made some stuffed potatos with chorizo and topped with cheese the other day. The Chorizo she used had no color to it.
I think it was spanish styled. Gowd, that rankles me , because people will look at the red chorizo and go, "EW, AIda didn't use THAT!"


Also, I had to laugh at AB making corn tortillas.

Out here you can buy HAND MADE tortillas. In some places you can watch the viejitas(Vee eh hee tahs) little old ladies making the dough and as they stand next to the griddle, they slap each tortilla into shape and cook them as they go....Great theater if you get a chance to see it!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Chorizo with no color has to look pretty gross. I love it's vibrant color. After all, I love everything about it.

I would love to have homemade tortillas available here.
