    I made stir-fry tonight. I threw in a lot of carrot and red pepper and spinach and I thought the colours ended up being very christmassy

    I've got a holiday chili recipe, but it's just because it's got red and green chilies in it.

    Also, pretty much every restaurant in New Mexico will offer enchiladas with red, green, or navidad sauce.

    I should post here more often. Today I made a thing! Chicken Riggies is what it's called. No idea how I encountered it, but apparently it's a "New York staple" and it sounded neat - chicken's always good, and I was in the mood for some pasta (the riggies refer to rigatoni).
    After looking at a handful of recipes, the core elements seem to be: chicken (I used thigh meat), a cream-tomato sauce, and hot peppers. I sauteed onion and shrooms (had some left over), added some garlic and crushed tomatos, a bit of cream (I judge the appropriate amount by color and taste) and let it simmer for a bit. Cut up some jalapenos, a bird's eye chili and a handful of olives (again, left over), threw those in, and kept it simmering while I boiled the rigatoni. Finished cooking them in the sauce.
    Nothing special, but really comforting with a good amount of heat. I didn't use too much cream, so it didn't feel too rich, either. Yum!

    I'd be curious if any New Yorkers here (or folks generally, obv) could talk about the dish if they know it!

    OK, here's a new cake I made today. The cake is white cake (as part of my search for a good wedding cake sponge) and the frosting is vanilla. The shards are tempered 60% chocolate, and colored white chocolate.lkp2cudyffwu.jpg

    Kale.

    Kale is good.

    I just had some feta and quinoa with kale and it was p taste. Seems easy to make. Get some good goat cheese feta and black quinoa and boom. You got a thing and it seems healthy enough.

    I still hate you pronounce quinoa "keenwah" though and I want to say "kihnoah" out of spite.

    It's not so much all of NY as it is a very specific section of NY - the Utica area, really.

    That's....that's pretty much all I can contribute on it other then it's pretty tasty.

    it's an Albany expression

    edit: my mom makes this like, chicken and rice casserole called Coronado Casserole

    and I don't really know what it entails. There's chicken and rice and cheese and spicy sauce and you put frito chips on top and tobasco

    I generally don't like chicken, but it's one of my favorite meals and comfort foods

    edit 2: oh and there's sour cream in it, too!

    I've been feeling pretty icky lately due to stress, so I made myself something relatively stomach-friendly...strawberries and "cream" oatmeal. Just frozen smashed strawberries, soymilk, vanilla extract, touch of orange extract, a bit of honey and sugar. Not bad for an experiment! :)

    I had pork roll for the first time the other day and it was very, very tasty.

    I've been experimenting with eggs benedict since ... since we started having it. The only consist thing is hollandaise over eggs on some sort of breakfast bread with meat on it.

    I've done diced ham, bacon, and most recently pork roll, and I did mine in a sort of chiffonade style, and it was absolutely glorious. My wife hated it, said it was too salty. So now I'm gonna go back to traditional canadian bacon, and just do mine in the chiffonade style again, and I think that'll be alright.

    We do fried eggs instead of poached, because we both like the texture better and it's generally just easier (ie- one small frying pan, same one I use for scrambled eggs). The bread anymore is leftover biscuits from biscuits and gravy, and I just split em, butter em, and toss em under the broiler to reheat/toast them.

    Yup, chicken riggies and Utica greens originated in Utica NY.

    Pickled capers taste like that.

    Salted ones do not. They taste unlike any other thing. More like fennel crossed with tomato with a hint of cilantro.... which I just made up and doesn't come close to what un-pickled capers taste like.

    It's one of the things you have to go buy and taste.

    Like avocado. You can't explain what avocado tastes like. Capers are in that class, unless they're pickled, in which case they taste like pickles.

    Avocado just tastes like something went rancid, to me. Not a fan.

    I hate capers so much

    I really like avocado though. Of course my body figured out that I liked something raw so it added that to the list of things that now give me a reaction, so. :|

    YOLO though, I eat it anyway
