[Something completely different]

An almoust stereotypical meal I had today. Pork sausage with mushrooms and dumplings:




The only more or less exciting thing I had was this rose (wine) of which I bought several bottles at a sexshop several weeks ago.



Anyone with taste would scream seeing the combination of this meal with that wine, but since I havent had the chance to cook for someone who I intend to screw for quite a while, I might aswell drink it like this.

You guys are making me hungry, let's have a food party. I'm also interested in the recipes 'fff', I love Mexican food.

The only real 'recipes' for these dishes are the pork leg recipe and the re-fried bean recipe. The pork leg is pan-seared in olive oil and bacon drippings and then slow roasted in a 225 degree oven with broth and herbs and seasonings (for this one I used cilantro, sage, salt, black pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, ancho chiles, garlic, and chives) for three and a half hours. The pork falls apart when done. The re-fried beans are pintos, NOT pre-soaked. 1 lb. pinto beans rinsed. In a large stock pot, boil the beans in 8-10 cups of water or preferred broth. While the beans are boiling, place one chopped yellow onion and 3-4 cloves of minced garlic in a skillet with 2 tbsp. olive oil. saute onions and garlic until soft - add to pot of boiling beans. Simmer beans (covered) on low for three hours, stirring frequently. Mash beans when the beans are soft and start incorporating into the liquid. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Thanks for the recipes, will give them a try soon and let you know how they taste, which I'm sure will be great, I use those same herbs and seasonings often. Have you ever tried marinating the pork with lime juice and jalapenos, I run the peppers through the blender and the lime juice to make the marinade.

Last night I made a baked Ziti with mushrooms and home made beef sausage w/fennel.



For a filling, I used a locally made cottage cheese rather than using ricotta.



I topped it with fresh, soft, whole milk mozzarella cheese.



Very yummy!



Cheers!

@GC,

You're welcome. Also, do not use 8-10 cups of water or broth for the beans. Instead, use 6-8 cups - otherwise the cooking time will be about forty minutes longer (as the excess moisture cooks off). I have done several marinades, however, my wife does not like spicy foods , and so the jalapenos are out. I love lime juice, but I avoid using it when I am using ancho chilis (as in this recipe), because I find the flavors too contrasting for pork when combined. As far as spicy goes, I am a heat lover, and I look for the most intensely hot chili pods I can find. I'm trying to find some scorpion peppers for a jerky recipe I'm making. I think it's great how food dissolves the barriers that humans set up among themselves. Cheers, and have a good weekend.

Thanks for the tip on the chilies, want use lime with them, I like lime in a marinade. I like things pretty hot but the scorpions are not part of my food at this time, do love the flavor very hot peppers bring to food.
You're right food and dogs bring down or at least set aside barriers. I did not mean to upset you in our confrontation, I did not think what I said would, and to be honest I'm not sure I understand how it did, guess it has to do with the way I look at death. Sorry the whole thing happened and I'll try and think before I post something on death again. You and your wife have a great weekend too, eat well.

I just got home from the gym totally starving and I'm trying to not eat for an hour and 15 minutes when the new karl pilkington show starts so I can have my food with that and just as I'm trying to not eat this thread starts with pictures of fucking food!
The pictures of pizzas are killing me the most.

LOL... Thanks! Let's just say, my wife agrees. Hey, wait a minute... Now it's all starting to make sense. I cook, clean, do the laundry, maintain the car, pet care etc. - could this be the reason she takes such excellent care of me?
