Well I had put off the chorizo and eggs AGAIN because I decided it would taste so much better with a side of pinto beans. Made the pintos yesterday with bacon AND a diced up italian sausage I had in the fridge, so these are going to be some pretty darn porky beans!!
I might refry DH's portion, but I prefer them whole.
So for dinner tonight we are finally ( I promise, no more dilly dallying) having
huevos rancheros with sides of beans and chorizo.
I couldn't make my tortilla soup recipe yesterday as it turned out I didn't have any chicken breasts. I made what I'd consider a pureed "Mexican Potato" soup instead but it was unfortunately a total failure. Ay caramba!
I will be eating that sludge in my lunch box for a long time. Woe is me.
The best shrimp I've ever had were made by a friend from Baltimore.
He starts with high quality large shrimp, peel-on.
He boils them in a big pot that has white vinegar, a beer or two, and lots - I mean LOTS - of Old Bay seasoning in it.
He claims the secret is no water in the boil mixture.
I can't tell you if that's the only secret or not, but OMG never had anything like it before or since (he moved away). I think water gives the shrimp a soggy texture that these shrimp don't have.
When they're done he dumps them all on a huge platter, sprinkles MORE Old Bay on them, offers a cocktail sauce made of ketchup and lots of horseradish,
and tells his guests to dig in. They aren't deveined, which gave me pause, but I think I did my full justice to my portion anyway.
Very spicy and yummy and you have to keep stopping to lick the melted Old Bay seasoning off your fingers.
Wow sounds delicious but we dont get old bay seasoning here, its only marketed in the U.S as far as i am aware
Since i was too tipsy to post last night. We had for starters;
Fresh grilled oysters (had a hard time getting them open) with applewood smoked cheese and parsley
Prawn torpedos with pork and coriander dumplings, served with a mango chutney and soy sauce.
For main course was Panang curry with fresh tiger prawns. It was delicous!
My aunt let me try some haggis, i was a bit iffy at first but it was really nice and spiced, the oats were a lovely texture too. I'd highly recommend a taste.
Welcome to the thread! I'm new too and I just had to tell you... that list of dinner items had me drooling with my morning coffee!!!! lol I LOVE haggis!
Elston.... I'm thinking you just didn't have a good cook making what you sampled.

You go girl!!!!!! That's terrific!!!!!!!! 30 more days now... and you'll be way over the hump!!!
Dinner tonight for me is going to be Salsa Chicken, tossed salad and rice.
I use boneless skinless thighs because I prefer dark meat. I simply top with a couple jars of mixed Paul Newman's Salsa... Mango, Pineapple, Peach, etc... all work great mixed on there.. .sometimes I saute' some onions and garlic cloves and top the chix with that before adding the salsa. Then, I just bake for about 45-60 minutes in a covered pyrex. I top with shredded cheese.... whatever's on hand... mexican blend, monterey, cheddar, etc.. let it melt on there and voila! Easy peasy and yummy too!
I try and go for simple on Sunday's if it's a new Desperate Housewives... that show slays me! lol
Cyn, you go girl, tried to rep you, but am in the clink.
DH and I are going to make grilled bratwursts and kraut, its a nice day here, so why not?
Scotslass, here is a link directly to purchase Old Bay, maybe it will translate to euros? Seasonings
