Re: The Food and Beverage Thread

Last night's mission was pierogi dough using potatoes. It was mad sticky, but I was able to finally work it out and get it rolled after sitting overnight. Anyway, I made some pierogies with potato, green onions, bacon, and cheese (used mozz since I didn't have anything more appropriate). Had 2 for a late breakfast this morning with a fried egg.. hell yeah, that's some eatin'.

I'll edit the pics into this post once I get them onto my computer.

Re: The Food and Beverage Thread

I'm thinking a ham/cheddar wrap for lunch. Dinner probably some grilled Hebrew National hot dogs.

Tonight I did some raspberry ice-cream. Went the simple route and got the half gallon ice-cream mix and crushed some frozen raspberries. Next time I would like to 1) get fresh, extra ripe raspberries and 2) use more fruit. Tastes really good though. Next up I'm going to do strawberry-banana.

Stumble, do you cook for a restaurant or in culinary school or something?

Re: The Food and Beverage Thread

Nah, I worked in restaurants when I Was younger, but I was never even a line cook. A few cool chefs taught me things in the slow times, but it was never a focus until the last few years. Really, the last year has been where it's really ramped up... trying to make my own doughs, going deep into Asian food, doing desserts. Normally I'd just make things for dinner that tasted good but weren't anything too special (good stir-fry, pasta, breakfasts, etc.).. I've just been making more of a conscious effort to expand my horizons and not be scared off by complicated things.

I'm still cooking as I type.. waiting for my filling to cool off some more so I can stuff the 16 or so wrappers I have ready and need to use. I have another ball of dough and hopefully will have about 30 pierogies when I'm done. I'm gonna freeze the vast majority of them -- you can just boil them for 8 mins or so then pan-fry them and they taste like they were made fresh... good quick meal.

I was running out of filling so I boiled another potato, browned up about a pound of ground beef with some onions and fennel seed... then added some ricotta. So these will be some bomb-*** pierogies.

Re: The Food and Beverage Thread

Holy crap, that was a dough-working marathon. It was very sticky the whole time, so I spent most of my time working flour into it hah.. gonna modify the recipe slightly next time.

Anyway, I ended up getting about 55 pierogies out of $6 of materials or so. There are 3 or 4 gigantic ones too that are like plate-sized pies, so that'll be nice. And I've managed to only eat 6 of them so far.

Re: The Food and Beverage Thread

Pierogies...

Does your last name end in -ski by chance?

My wife LOVES those things, but she is Polish, so I assume it comes with the territory.
