nobody Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I am ashamed to say I use Philadollphia brand. And a stick of butter. And vanilla. And confectioners sugar. It really is outrageous. What more do you need? The classic American cream cheese frosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Well, coffee can be acidic, so maybe that does some of the tenderizing? Still, odd to imagine java-flavored beef stew. Got me wanting to get out the slow cooker! My friend is a coffee roaster as a side business and he offers an awesome coffee dry rub that I use quite often when grilling. I've used some of his coffee in beers I've brewed as well. https://muddydogcoffee.com/specialty-foods/384-coffee-bbq-rub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 A couple oz. of WL Weller Antique in a glass of good ol egg nog. A little grind of nutmeg and a few ice cubes. Something nice and cozy to wind down from a stressful day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chileanseabass Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 The other day I tried a newer place near the office called JJ's Red Hots. Just happens to be owned by folks from Buffalo, serves Sahlen's and is "inspired" by classic hot dog joints like Ted's. They even have a picture of Ted's near the the front door. It's definitely more upscale than Ted's, but the hot dogs were spot on and the onion rings fantastic. They even serve Weber's mustard. I filed out five comment cards (one for me and each of my 4 coworkers) and requested Loganberry on each one. Apparently they're "working on it." We have two other "Buffalo" hot dog places in the Charlotte area, but they were really disappointing. My coworkers (all from NC) were very impressed, and said it was easily the best hot dog they've had in Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you subjected to those brutal flourescent red bright leaf hot dogs over in Charlotte? I swear those things are equal parts red dye and hog offal. Nasty stuff.

biodork Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Was attempting to make sweet potato and raisin bread, but since my food processor turned the raisins into paste rather than chop them (oops), I made sweet potato bread and these: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/11/14/oatmeal-raisin-cookie-larabars/ So an unexpected two for one recipe, lol.

darksabre Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Actually went out to the bar last night and had some beers. Breckinridge has its Christmas brew out, and it is one of the best I've ever had. If you can find it, buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) So in richmond VA today about 65 out, got me in the mood for grilling tonight. Flat Iron steaks on sale, so that on tap for tonight. Anybody with a recipe for rub/marinade for that thing? Figure that staek only needs 2-3 hour marinade..so needs to be in the fridge in the next hour Edited December 18, 2012 by plenzmd1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure that staek only needs 2-3 hour marinade..so needs to be in the fridge in the next hour Chop up a good handful of onion, 3 or 4 jalapeno peppers, and a handful of cilantro. Dump the chopped veggies/cilantro in a 1G ziplock bag. Put the Flat Iron steak in the bag. Top with beer. Seal bag. Shake to evenly distribute everything.

darksabre Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Got a cold, so Jo made me homemade chicken noodle soup. Cooking up leftovers of that to eat with my cocktail of Yukon Jack with a side of NyQuil. I ain't got time for this mumbo jumbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 So somehow...in a quest to be somewhat healthier, I substituted Tanqueray for beer. Pros: less calories, no bloating, no peeing, no bottles to return. Cons: I can actually handle booze quite well, so this leads to martini madness and a lighter wallet from green bottles galore and a happy Drane making online Christmas purchases at 2AM with a Barnabyesque BAC.

My wife was a tanqueray drinker for twenty years, has now switched to Hendricks. If you like the real botanical Gins, you might want to try it. She also liked it with Fever Tree tonic, which might cost more than the damn booze. Edited December 19, 2012 by plenzmd1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really sounds awful when you put it all in one place like that lol Yukon Jack does pair well with chicken soup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
