One word-Chili

[Red Flag 1]

I know you are a great cook-especially Italian.Heard of beef burgandy.Does it tenderize the meat or flavour the dish?..

The Burgundy does both. If you add some Burgundy to ground beef, it helps breakdown the bond for a smoother texture.

Cooking is really part of the social fabric, which starts at home. After years of homemade meals, you can tell something about the mood of the family member who prepared it. Not to mention that cooking is an excellent way to relieve stress, unless you somehow feel it's an obligation, a chore. When you cook, you make something others not only need, but enjoy.

I have to agree with your observation that cooking is a stress reliever, I love to cook. It takes me about three hours to get my beef and pork pasta sauce cooked to serve. Once done, I love to just sit back and watch my kids, and theirs enjoy the meal.

I agree with you both. Cooking is a stress reliever. Always have made homemade meals everyday for yrs. If you dont cook with love then it is a chore and probably wouldnt taste the same as if you had put that passion into it.

Would love a good-no great bolognese recipe.hint hint Red Flag lol.

Really need to start an Italian cooking thread.

Why the paper plate?
Why on a paper plate, man? Doesn't the food need to be showcased on proper ware, rather than the acids seeping through the paper making it all bendy and unmanageable and shit?
Or, or is this just laziness? Was all the energy spent on cooking and you had nothing left for doing dishes?
People need to know.

I am all about the taste, no presentation skillz!
Yes I am lazy, and yes I worked all weekend, not excuses just reality!

With that being said, I took your advice and put it on a real plate...somewhat southwestern.........



WHAT!?!?!?:blkeye:

I tried this chili the following ways:
PLAIN
In a bowl covered in sour cream and cheese
On Mission tortilla strips with sour cream and cheese
On White rice covered in sour cream and cheese
On tator tots covered in cheese
On Crinkle fries covered in cheese

I still have more.....it just doesn't get old!!!!

At the local community college they would serve a dish with fries and green chili. Fries on bottom layer, cheese in middle layer, and then they would spoon piping hot chili over the cheese. It was amazing! Something about melted cheese, chili, and fried potatoes... Damn I miss dairy products.

 

[metalmom]

That sounds phenom. Since fries were brought up-anyone have poutine? Pretty good stuff.
