What did everyone cook today?

Ay, Ay, Ay, Pear Crepes sounds wonderful. My Mother used to make the most delicious crepes when I was a kid & she made them perfectly, with no fancy machines. I don’t recall any pear, although she may have used them at times as the flavor does come to mind. We have tried to make them as well, but could never even come close to matching hers.
calldoctoday Do you need a recipe for sweet, breakfast crepes?

In the pantheon of bad ideas by me, this may very well sit atop all others, certainly above all other food or drink based drinks (not decisions I made while drunk as I made MANY MANY worse decisions than this during drinking). Thought process was that it might add a little heat and smokiness to a sweet margarita. It turned out to be a bitter, undrinkable concoction that could gag a maggot!
Jonathon not quite sure what it is that you did. It looks like some vacuum packed jalapeno and tequila.

zbigjeff That looks so good and so professionally truss, better than any sous chef I ever had assisting me. What did you stuff it with. The old Italian traditionally stuffed it with liver and fennel, not my choice.
Chef Well, kinda old Italian. Here’s the list:
Sweet Desert Wine- Vin Santo: 4.75 ozs
Ground Pork: 11.9 ozs
Panko: 4.8 ounces
Pine Nuts Toasted : 4.8 ozs
Yellow Raisins: 4.8 ozs (Soaked in wine)
Garlic: 8 cloves
Onions Diced: 3 onions
Sage Dried: 1.35 Tbls
Parsely Dried: 1.35 Tbls
Rosemary Dried: 1.35 Tbls
Olive Oil: 3 Tbls
Pork Belly: 5.2 lbs (Butterflied)
Pork Loing: 3.7 lbs (Butterflied) -

Chef BTW: Thanks for the truss job comment. After I learned how to do some years ago, it’s fairly easy. Was forced to do this one without assistance and in the end, took me about 3 mins after I finished the first two rows. But, handling a 13 lb beast full of stuffing was challenging.

Yeah, I am not sure how the heat and sweet would go together.

Tex_77 It has been so hot here that my mind has liquified & I have forgotten the bacon & just been eating cold mater & mayonnaise sandwiches.

lkrfletcher It goes together wonderfully, just right.

calldoctoday nothing wrong with that!

Chef Reposted this in User Recipes. Thanks for the interest. Have another great day in the foodlab.

Chef I added lime rinds (6 for a bottle) then agave nectar with lime juice. I think the Habanero Lime salt didn’t help! I took a shot of the Tequila by itself and it wasn’t good either, very bitter.
-
Judging by the picture you showed - You have pith on your lime rinds. The white part has to be removed, otherwise you get a really bitter taste. This goes for any kind of fruit you use…Lemon, orange, grapefruit… Must take a small carving knife and get that off to get a real lime taste.

Jonathon Are you sure it wasn’t just the tequila?
-
Yes, the pulp is more bitter too.
-
calldoctoday Yeah, I ugh sampled the Tequilla first! lkrfletcher I wanted to use a grater on the rind but the post I was looking at did it just like I did! Should have known, I won’t say who it was but at least I know not to trust them from now on!

Jonathon . When I did the lemon vodka I used a potato peeler. Just pulled it toward my thumb. Worked great and almost zero pith to remove. Fresh fruit will also peel much better. I always use organic too.

Jonathon calldoctoday they make graters for zesting citrus Just a few bucks. they work well and very easy to control not getting any “white” mixed in. Just search under lemon zester. $8.00 gets you a great one. I like the metal file looking type.

Chef Yes, I have had a few of those for many years. They are very handy. When I am in the right mood, I even make up some Zest with them & dehydrate it & keep it in a spice jar for times when I am moving quick. It seems to work very well. I use them for Lemon, Lime, & Orange Zest.

calldoctoday I’ve never tried to dehydrate them, but that’s a great idea. I will try it. Thanks

Chef yes, I zest em with the little grater, just taking the colorful part of the fruit & no pulp. Then I dry that out & store it in a glass spice bottle. It works well when either I am in a hurry or just do not have any fresh fruit available. I cannot say though, surprisingly that it necessarily intensifies the flavor though as I thought it would, but I just cannot say for certain.
