What's Cooking?

I will not post pictures tonight, but I just put a good Nueske's bone in ham in the oven to reheat. I have the ingredients ready to prepare cheddar polenta and pan roasted asparagus.

What I am excited about is that after I chunk the meat off the bone, I will be able to make slow cooker Senate bean soup later this week.

You sure that's not grits?

Ya'll are some serious chefs.  Got some beef short ribs in the slow cooker with some red wine, onion, garlic, worcestershire, thyme, bay leaf, beef stock, and a dab of tomato puree.  Will thicken the liquids with corn starch and serve with a tossed salad, some mashed taters and fresh green beans.

That sounds serious to me Dave.

Seriously good that is.

I posted earlier about a shrimp curry. It is on my blog, Living Well in the Ozarks. Tonight I am changing up and doing a chicken curry using the same basic recipe.

I saw a guy cooking this last night on TV and I'm going to try it.  Anyone ever made this before?  It looks great.  there are a couple different spelling apparently.

The guy said the trick is to stir the egg whites so they cook but keep the yokes runny. 

Shakshuka.

Have not heard of that, but it sure looks tasty! Let us know how it goes. Lots of recipes out there.

I've got about a half jar of a good, spicy tomato sauce I need to do something with. Might toss a couple eggs in tonight and see what happens. Not the same I know, but in the ballpark.

Pizza is my cooking passion. It's not difficult and you don't have to know a bunch of big words or techniques. But like everything, practice makes perfect and I think I finally perfected my pizza dough over the weekend. Pizza dough is not hard by any means. But when people take a bite and moan with pleasure you know you are there.

My oldest daughter works at one of the best pizza places in town. On Sunday she had to be at work at 4 so I had to have her a pizza ready at 3:30. Why does she choose to eat mine over one at work? Perfection. Not only did she gobble up all she could stand, she drove straight to work and told them how some old guy at home was kicking their arse at making pizza.

No I can move on to creating the best pizza I can since the base is covered.

Mine's better

We need details, man. I like what I see though.

Good Looking Pizza!  I used to make them a lot for my kids but I made basic cheap ones.  A flour tortilla, spicy arribata sauce, then lots of cheese and whatever topping were requested, and a little more cheese.  Slide it into a skillet and cover, will crisp up on bottom and be melty gooey on top.  Heck I wish I had one for lunch.  Would rather have yours Flysmallie, do you deliver?

Flysmallie - what type of flour do you use in your dough? We don't seem to get our crust right in our home pizzas. So any help would be appreciated.
