ass and eat it with a spoon calories be damned this is so good it s worth a little cellulite creamy and amazing and of course there s no pictures but you know what mayonnaise looks like and buttermilk imagine the fresh spring chives cut from a pot on the patio and pepper from a grinder on the kitchen counter imagine a couple of golden heads of roasted garlic oily and gleaming in a pie pan close your eyes and breathe in the aroma now imagine a 23 year old outside manning the grill and tending the beefsteaks cooking on it but the salad is the star of the show no doubt as per usual i didn t make the exact salad it called for i never do but as it was a broccoli salad i was looking for that is what was made i don t really like broccoli unless it s in a salad with a delicious dressing or drowning in a cheese soup broccoli has unpleasant childhood recollections attached to it i was forced to eat it and i don t like being forced however if it had been presented with this stuff on it i would have eaten it and asked for more creamy roasted garlic dressing 2 heads of garlic a little bit of olive oil 1 cup mayonnaise c mon use the good stuff i like duke s but that might be a regional thing 1 2 cup buttermilk 1 1 2 tablespoons of minced fresh chives yes fresh not dried please not dried 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 2 teaspoon celery seed epicurious recipe said 1 1 4 teaspoons celery salt but i never use the stuff and have to watch the salt anyway 1 4 teaspoon fresh ground yes please black pepper i have no idea how much i put in probably more than that but i like the stuff cut the garlic heads in half through the middle how do i explain that so each clove is cut in half get it drizzle each cut side with a bit of olive oil and wrap them all together loosely with aluminum foil or like i did put them in a cake pan and cover with a pan lid roast at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes check after that to see if they re soft and turning golden if not soft yet put the lid back on and put them back in the oven heat turned off for about 10 minutes put all the other ingredients into a blender ok epicurious said get all fancy and precious and mix everything by hand blah blah blah and whiz up or mix gently by hand with a wire whisk made by turkish metalworkers who ve been doing it for generations and using methods passed down from their ancestors whatever when the garlic is done pop each clove out so easy from the papery skin and drop into the blender with the other stuff whiz it up again taste it and adjust with salt and pepper and try to restrain yourself from hiding in a closet with it and a spoon and eating the whole blender full then serving the salad with a disappointing ranch dressing from a bottle now the salad i made was 1 head of romaine lettuce epicurious said use a bunch of overpriced hearts of romaine but i am feeding philistines who wouldn t know a heart of romaine from a bag of iceberg chopped kind of small i hate big pieces of lettuce also 2 heads of broccoli florets cut very small then the stems shredded like cole slaw and a fresh spring onion from the garden of my 14 yr old chopped fine it could possibly have been improved with the addition of something like sunflower seeds or pepitas but i didn t have any of those admittedly i probably ate too much salad if such a thing is possible too much salad did i just say that i will probably reek of garlic tomorrow as will himself but if both people in a romantic relationship eat too much garlic no one who matters will notice leave a comment not exactly a how to post february 15 2013 2 10 pm filed under uncategorized tags soup vegetarian dinner it s more like a proceed at your own risk post i love garlic it is probably my favorite seasoning of all time and yes it s a seasoning not a vegetable seasoned with something else or it shouldn t be anyway i have experience with this the other night mr rootie was out of town on business and i took the opportunity to make something new and different to me anyway i d never made it before since we in this household are enamored of roasted garlic it seemed like a good thing and if one head of roasted garlic in a pot of tomato sauce is good then how much better could 4 heads in a pot of broth with a few noodles be lots better i tell you what i am not posting pictures because the ones on that web site are lovely so look at them also those are pretty much exactly like what i made only i used a rich homemade chicken stock instead of water because stock is almost always better than water in a soup right right the soup was made and eaten like french onion soup with a slice of crusty bread and cheese on top i used asiago because gruyere is hard to find in this town it was delicious pungent but delicious comments were made about a low risk of intestinal parasites in the future the next day when himself returned from his trip it was valentine s day he gave me a hug and said you smell like garlic i was horrified mainly because this was late afternoon and i had gone all day long being around people and completely unaware that there was an aroma utterly unlike the c o bigelow lemon perfume i typically wear the horror was then doubled with the realization that garlic and lemons only really go well together on a roasted or grilled chicken or possibly in some hummus and i am neither of those things so the moral of this story is two fold 1 if you make the soup make sure your significant other eats it as well 2 if you eat the soup either sequester yourself for a few days if you are self conscience as i am or at the very least wear that aroma with pride 3 and don t eat it within several days of taking a long flight on an airplane ok three fold then there s this if you can t beat em join em 3 comments roasted chicken pot pie october 22 2012 9 54 pm filed under easy but not quick how to land a man poultry supper vegetables tags chicken pot pie roasted chicken it s that whole fall thing that desire for rich and creamy and not exactly lite fare frankly i am tired of salads around april i get excited for them with the snow peas and baby greens and all but come september we all start a hankerin stews and pot pies and anything with an obscene amount of buttery gravy and possibly alcohol chopped veggies a chicken olive oil salt and pepper now that it s mid to latish october and we actually get to put a real blanket on the bed and not just another sheet pretending to be a blanket i am making rich fattening filling meals because winter is coming and we need that extra subdermal layer of adipose tissue to provide energy during the hibernation period except that we re not bears or squirrels o well perfectly roasted do not let the skin go to waste even though it doesn t go in the recipe mmmmm crispy skin ok so we don t need that but isn t there something wonderful about knowing that your house has the aroma of roasting vegetables garlic and chicken and you can catch a whiff even as you turn into the driveway and know that you did something right and your family will approve yes there is in the bowl waiting for the gravy see no skin it would just get nasty and limp go ahead and eat it this chicken pot pie recipe was first spotted in a fine cooking magazine eons ago i don t remember which issue but in the interest of full disclosure this is not my own unique recipe however i have made a few changes particularly in the top crust pour in all that lovey silky gravy don t forget to add the crusty bits from the deglazed roasting pan i am not a pastry chef whenever possible i buy the pie crusts in the refrigerator section of the store sometimes i use those crescent rolls the original recipe had you making this buttery puff pastry from scratch and the 3 times i tried it it turned out this greasy unpleasant stuff so i switched to a biscuit top who doesn t love that i reckon you could use canned biscuits but with so much effort going into the filling i d rather make semi homemade yes you could make biscuit dough from scratch and it would be lovely i am tired i have spent the entire day making the filling and doing endless loads of laundry so i used a biscuit mix i wanted biscuits with herbs mixed in and that s hard to do with canned ones they are slightly customized with buttermilk add a bit of baking soda to the mix and lovely chopped oregano and thyme biscuit mix chopped herbs artfully photographed in sunlight through a window i call it biscuit mix with herbs in a white bowl as always after picking all the meat off the chicken i roasted bones with an onion and a couple of carrots then threw it in the crockpot with a gallon of water to make stock i am mildly embarrassed to admit that i used commercially made stock for the recipe because i was all out of the homemade it was a sad state of affairs but one punts when one has to daisy was feeling lazy and was pouting because i didn t share the chicken skin with her this recipe makes a very large amount so divy it up into 2 casserole dishes and then cook one of them until the biscuits aren t quite brown cover it with foil and freeze it or give it to a sick friend so they can warm it up when comfort food is required mmmm with a glass of white wine and a blanket and a good movie perfect roasted chicken pot pie 1 4 pound whole chicken 6 medium russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks 3 cups baby carrots or 6 carrots cut into 1 inch chunks 3 large leeks white and light green parts only cut lengthwise then sliced thin 2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic olive oil salt and pepper generous handful of fresh chopped oregano and thyme or parsley or and parsley 1 2 cup white wine or water tho wine is very nice 3 4 cup unsalted butter 3 4 cup flour 1 32 oz carton chicken broth preheat the oven to 450 degrees put the cut up vegetables and garlic in a big bowl and drizzle them with olive oil salt and pepper toss to coat put them all in the bottom of a really big roasting pan and put the chicken on top drizzle a little oil salt and pepper on the chicken put it in the oven and roast for an hour until the chicken is crispy and brown and the veggies are brown and it all smells so good your 24 yr old son wanders in and announces that he s hungry after an hour take it out of the oven the vegs underneath the chicken might not be completely done and that is ok also the chicken might not be 100 done and that is ok too let it cool long enough that it is easy to handle about the amount of time it takes to fold 2 baskets of laundry and watch an episode of csi you dvr d last week pick all the meat off the chicken and tear it into small pieces put it in a huge bowl and scrape the vegs over into it too add the chopped herbs there will be crusty stuff in the roasting pan if it s a metal pan set it on the stove and turn the stove on to medium add the white wine and deglaze the pan scraping up all the crusty bits set that aside in a pot melt the butter and stir in the flour let this cook on low stirring occasionally until it is a light toasty brown and smells like something you want to eat all by itself with a spoon slowly pour in the carton of chicken broth stirring with a whisk turn the heat up a little scrape the crusty wine stuff from the roasting pan into it stir frequently until you have a nice medium thick gravy pour the gravy over the chicken and vegs in the big bowl and stir it all up spray a couple of casserole dishes with no stick stuff and put the filling in each dish i used a 9 9 and an 8 12 oval pan for the topping 3 cups jiffy or bisquick biscuit mix 1 teaspoon baking soda a generous handful of the same herbs you put in the filling 1 1 2 cups of buttermilk maybe more you want a sticky dough stir it all together drop by generous spoonsful onto the filling bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes until the biscuits are brown and the filling is bubbling up the thicker the biscuit crust is the longer it needs to cook check it after 40 minutes to see if the dough is done underneath if not give it 10 more minutes 2 comments the perfect trifecta mirapoix roux and andouille october 17 2012 11 14 pm filed under philosophical

second pear vodka with mango juice and pellegrino water no it s good equal parts each you re welcome anyway i found this recipe for a gumbo type stew not actual gumbo as there s no file nor okra but
