6. Corn meal bisquits? Could you share the recipe? n/t

[livetohike]

10. Sure!

Cornmeal Biscuits

1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. cornmeal
3 t. baking powder
1/2 t. rubbed sage
1/2 t. salt
1/3 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk

Preheat oven to 450 F.

Combine the first five ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just moistened.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 3/4" thickness. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter. Place 2" apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until brown.

Makes 10 biscuits if you use a 2" cutter.

[pinto]

11. Thanks.

[cbayer]

17. Thanks for this. I just cleaned out my pantry area and found a package of cornmeal that looks

just fine.

Do you think I can use butter instead of shortening?

[grasswire]

22. sure

I always use butter in quick breads and muffins when it calls for shortening.

[livetohike]

31. Oh yeah, that would probably be flakier and oh so good

too .

[Phentex]

5. I'm thinking white chicken chili...

which would require that I go to the store but oh well. The weather is finally cooperating!

[NEOhiodemocrat]

7. Vegetable soup

Everything I could find from the garden since I am ready to wrap it up for the year. Smells good Have some leftover pork barbecue for sandwiches.

[NJCher]

Ricotta salada cheese.

9. Baked chicken breasts with thyme.

Steamed asparagus, buttered noodles and a French roll. Leftover strawberry pie for dessert.

[pinto]

12. Yesterday's white pasta, beans, garlic & oil goes red with a meat/marinara sauce & a side salad.

(I think a "Refashioning Leftovers" would make a great Food Channel show. Or, "Makeovers". It's a better tag.)

[cbayer]

18. I would love that kind of show or even a website.

I really like to cook more than we need and find ways to re-create it a couple of times.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Pot roast.

[cbayer]

19. Do you do it on top of the stove or in the oven?

I love that falling off the bone kind that you do on top of the stove. I do an asian type that is to die for.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. On top of the stove.

It is falling apart, although boneless.

[cbayer]

21. That's the best. I throw potatoes and carrots in for the last hour.

I'm putting this on my shopping list right now.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. I used corn, onions and mushrooms.

Carrots are on my grocery list at present.

[pinto]

28. I love it. Have never gotten it down well.

Do you brown then simmer slow with liquid? And veggies?

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. I browned it and then simmered with beef stock.

Added corn, mushrooms and onions. Also added some tomato paste to add flavor. Thickened it with some flour and it turned out well. Normally, I am gravy challenged, though I love it.

[cbayer]

15. Taking the last steak out of the freezer and going to grill, bakes some potatoes

and finish up the green stuff. Then we will truly be empty.

I'm in a bad mood. Everything I touch has turned to crap today.

:bandhead:

[grasswire]

23. picturing cbayer in a boatload of crap

dripping from the mast, filling up the balast or whatever. Sailing in a sea of crap.

[cbayer]

25. Lol - that's how it feels right now.

We came in with a long list of chores to do both on the boat and off the boat and nothing is working.

Fortunately the real crap is staying in the holding tank....

for now!

[pinto]

26. Need a hand?

I've got some traveling money. I do an annual survey of state syringe exchanges for Beth Israel in NY. They provide a generous reimbursement.

[cbayer]

27. Thanks, pinto!

I would much rather you come for fun, though.

Let's talk about dates in the fall.

[pinto]

29. Cool.

[Le Taz Hot]

32. If it's any consolation, CBayer,

every time I see your name on DU my natural color takes on a slight tinge of green.

[cbayer]

33. I'm not sure what to make of this?!?

[Le Taz Hot]

34. I meant it as a compliment

and that I admire your lifestyle on a sailboat. Nothing more. Didn't mean to upset. I'll shut up now.

[cbayer]

35. It's ok. That's what I hoped, but I was concerned that I make you ill!

[Le Taz Hot]

37. LOL!

S'OK.

[K8-EEE]

36. Lebanese Chicken-Rice Soup!

Wow Soup's up here on DU! Try this if you ever find yourself with leftover cooked chicken in the fridge:

Sautee one leek and two celery stalks, sliced thinly, in olive oil. When soft add 3 cloves garlic. Do not brown anything.

Then add 4 cups chicken stock, 2 cups water, juice of 1 lemon, and 1 cinnamon stick.

Bring to a boil then add 3/4 cups rice

Cook for 20 minutes then add take out the cinnamon stick and add the cooked chicken with 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley. Cook for 5-10 more minutes, salt and pepper to taste.

Very fresh and bright tasting! Adapted from a local Lebanese restaurant.
