the basement cook skip to main skip to sidebar the basement cook sunday april 11 2010 fish tacos in case you were wondering if the way to a man s heart is through his stomach rest assured cowgirl s husband was literally grunting as he ate this i mean seriously grunting and umm and ugh and ohh and ugh and whatever grunting sounds a man makes good lord but i watched and i learned pinto beans white northern beans kidney beans and can of corn all drained a can of green chilies some onion some salsa lime juice and you mix that all up and top it with cod and shrimp in a pan top with some parmesan and cover it with foil bake it on the grill or in the oven until the fish is done layer it on tortillas with shredded cheese and sour cream and it s heaven utterly heaven i wanted to grunt while i was eating it but i didn t we made asparagus also by putting it in a package of tin foil with butter salt and pepper and grilling it alongside the taco innards it was amazing it must be asparagus season all in all it was an amazing meal and frankly i don t care for shrimp but the cod was cheap and if that s what you stuck to this would be a dang inexpensive meal posted by kate at 3 37 pm 6 comments tuesday april 6 2010 trying new things so i have been reading on several well like a ton of blogs about the goodness that is baked kale chips and i was leery people quite leery greens don t get crunchy they get soggy and slimy i m not a fan of greens i wish i was i try to like them i really do then smittenkitchen tried them and she said they didn t suck so when i was at the grocery store i picked up some kale because i want to like new things yanno i mixed up way too much olive oil and sea salt and added way too much garlic for good measure my capacity for extremes might have been the problem here see this bag it s pre cut which in essence makes the pieces a bit too small for chips here s some smothered kale on a cooking sheet then i baked it don t ask me to remember at what temperature or how long follow smitten kitchen s recipe my oven is totally messed up and it was crispy it was savory i could like it i think if i hadn t gone overboard with the olive oil and garlic i will try again because of course i have a whole other half bag of kale to deal with and i ate it raw in a salad the other day and that was not so pleasant yuck i was so hoping to like it because some of the free heirloom seeds i got were for kale but i think i m going to pass on planting it because i love my garden so much and i don t want to grow things i won t eat i ll pass them along to someone else but it s worth a try guys just don t do what i did and mess with the recipe ok posted by kate at 7 02 pm 4 comments monday april 5 2010 tortillas and turkey i revere this book i had to have it and my mom gave it to me i don t know if it s hers or if she found it at an estate sale or what but i love it it has the history of american food and other and whatever i love it i read it like a novel i read most cookbooks like a novel i love them but this is a favorite i wanted to make homemade tortillas this weekend i m not super into making bread but i thought making tortillas would be fun wraps and stuff yanno 2 cups flour 1 t baking powder 1 t salt 1 t butter 1 2 to 3 4 c water how s that for preservative free dough couldn t find my rolling pin so used a can of green beans i made whole wheat tortillas yesterday and discovered that the pam spray can works better where is my rolling pin assembly line the recipe says to cook them sans fat i m all about that the stack of goods the pictures i didn t take of the whole wheat ones are better they are much much thinner and have a whole lot more fiber and i m not ingesting the poison that manufacturers put into bread right my yummy sandwich homemade tortilla turkey spicy mustard swiss cheese and lettuce win and then i cooked a turkey stuffed it with apples and onions then wrapped it up because the pioneer woman told me to notice the change of scenery my gas oven decided to die on me about an hour and a half into the turkey cooking whoooom and then click click click and then whooom and then click click click click my oven was going to kill me so i took the whole shebang upstairs not happy but whatever done turkey is better than nothing two hours in i took off the foil and basted it with butter yum serious yum look at that golden baby i didn t take pictures of the desecration carving because it was awful i m not so good with the demise of the turkey but i now have six freezer bags full of individual sized portions of turkey and i made turkey tacos tonight whee taco mix shredded turkey lettuce slalsa and cheese make me very happy on homemade tortillas sigh i m so tired i can t even tell you how happy i am posted by kate at 7 45 pm 3 comments monday march 29 2010 the birthday cake so my mom turned 63 today they brought my grandma over last saturday since she s been staying with them for a few weeks and grammie was super excited to see where i live she likes to picture where people are when she talks to them and i was so pumped to see her i talk to her all the time knowing that each interchange might be our last but for heaven s sake she is vibrant and all there in the head which i am supremely grateful for in the meantime i wanted to make a birthday cake for my mom i originally thought of boston cream pie cupcakes but couldn t find a recipe that didn t say in the comments that it turned out dry so i went for springy lemon the recipe i had started with a lemon cake mix you added a couple tablespoons of lemon zest and 1 4 cup substitution of lemon juice for the water the mix recommended done and done then onto the frosting this had a ton of ingredients in it powdered sugar and cream cheese then you fold in some cool whip then you make instant lemon pudding to go along with it but i followed the directions on the box and not the directions from the recipe one called for 2 cups of milk the other called for one sigh i knew it was a disaster when i stirred it all together it just wouldn t get thick i added another whole bag of powdered sugar when i re read the recipe and noticed that i d added a whole cup of liquid that it didn t call for and i was out of powdered sugar but i was on the phone with my dad at the time and he said just freeze it maybe it will make ice cream which i did because seriously there were lots of ingredients in there and it seemed a shame to toss it out so i layered the cakes with cool whip and went to the store the next morning for a tub of lemon frosting but lo and behold the lemon cream ice cream was a hit mistakes happen but this was one of the better mistakes i ve made it went perfectly with the cake whee posted by kate at 7 06 pm 4 comments sunday february 21 2010 roasted root vegetables i have been trying a new diet for the past few weeks a friend of mine recently got diagnosed with a variety of food allergies and since she knows i love love love to cook she asked me to help her find recipes that were palatable allergen free and easy to prepare i assured her i would go on the same diet experiment and get back to her and i m slightly pissed because frankly even though i don t have as severe symptoms as she does i feel so incredibly better after cutting certain things out of my diet i could cry cheese people cheese have i mentioned how much i adore cheese fucking cheese i love cheese and i m so not interested in being allergic to cheese however i am willing to try just a little bit harder to cut some of the things that make me feel so disgusting out of my diet which includes cheese holy cow i love cheese how can cheese make me feel bad it is my destiny cheese gluten nightshade vegetables hello tomatoes that sucks but i am interested in expanding my diet so that the lack of cheese doesn t make me want to slit my wrists and on that note i shop mostly at the food coop if i can avoid the chain grocery store i do and in that manner i found this a bag of root vegetables destined for roasting or soup so i roasted them i ve never ever had sunchokes celeriac turnips or parsnips i m 37 i blame my mother and so far my favorite which means it will be in my garden this summer are the turnips they are like a mild radish and almost creamy in taste i can t even describe them but they were oh so yummy i cut about half the bag into bite sized pieces and squished them in a ziplock bag with olive oil pepper sea salt rosemary oregano and garlic salt oh and i added a chopped onion as well what are roasted vegetables without onion nothing i tell you nothing i baked them for 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven stirring them on occasion and then i served them with brown rice dax was pretty sure there was something there for him but no luck he doesn t like vegetables sorry buddy and if you haven t cooked brown rice by this tutorial click on it i m serious you haven t eaten decent brown rice i was totally blow away by how light and fluffy it was i am not joking it was superb posted by kate at 5 50 pm 4 comments monday february 1 2010 baked donuts i not only made cheese this weekend i made homemade donuts i don t know if the crazy has anything to do with the cooking but it made me happy i used a recipe from the good cook and i made some substitutions because i m lazy and don t like to go to the store if i don t have to you can make buttermilk by combining a cup of milk with a tablespoon of vinegar and letting it sit for a few minutes and if you only have lime juice i d say it s a good substitute for the lemon oh and i had no lemon peel so i just left that out and as you can see i used an egg instead of 1 4 c of egg substitute see lazy either that or creative and make do mise en place because the good cook told me to that silver thing looks like something i possibly stole from a restaurant and the clear glass thing it s a votive candle holder the dry ingredients and if you don t read the recipe clear through before you start you are liable to put the dry yeast into the bowl without prepping it and then you read the directions and understand that you re supposed to prep it with 1 4 c of warm water so i dug it out and did it sigh then you re supposed to knead the dough for a good 8 10 minutes it needed a bunch of flour to make that happen i don t have a bread machine and i m not sure a bread machine would have made it better but it was super sticky add as much as you need to make it kneadable then you separate it into 10 balls and make 10 donuts and put them on a greased baking sheet cover them and raise them for 45 minutes and i will raaaiiisse you up and i will raaaa iiiissee you up and i will raaaiiise you up on the laaaassst day bonus points if you know where that comes from they are squishy and plush bake them for 8 minutes and then put on a lemon lime glaze they are not like donuts at all they are all like bagels and bread and they were super yummy you either like them or you don t tiny hated them but other boy wanted to gobble them all up yum there you go donuts yeah for me posted by kate at 7 56 pm 6 comments sunday january 17 2010 lava and its chocolate incarnation i ended up at an impromptu dinner party last night at a local restaurant they ordered for me because i didn t know about it until they d already sat down and my four cheese mac and cheese was an utter delight pretty much everyone who had steak wished they were me since the beef was not so good and the pasta was oh so delicious but during the course of conversation someone said what s that cake that you get at chili s that s part cake and part pudding and a whole lot of delicious and that man s wife and i said at the same time volcano cake well suffice it to say that i spent the day googling volcano cake but found out that googling molten lava cake gave me better results and here are the results this is a martha stewart recipe of which i mostly refuse to follow it s a principle sort of thing but it was the easiest and i had all the ingredients on hand and well you didn t have to separate the eggs and whip egg whites and fold them in not a fan of whipping things well just not food things so here you go the recipe said you should cook them in six muffin tins and since i was giving them away i decided to use my ramekins i only had three small ones so i made three baby cakes and two medium ones the dough got decidedly hard when i mixed the chocolate with the eggs sugar and butter i will make sure that those three ingredients are more than room temperature next time it was almost too hard to plop in the ramekins the finished product with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and the carrying case a drill box perfect molten lava cake 4 t butter 1 3 c sugar 3 eggs 1 3 c flour 8 oz bittersweet chocolate melted preheat oven to 400 degrees spray ramekins to within an inch of their lives cream butter and sugar add eggs one at a time beating after each add flour then fold in the chocolate distribute between 6 small ramekins or muffin tins bake 8 10 minutes the top may look sort of dry but the middle should still be liquid remove from oven and cool 10 minutes you can either invert them or serve them individually in ramekins they are very rich posted by kate at 7 46 pm 4 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom followers blog archive 2010 9 april 3
