Did you get the lemon jalapeno marinated mussels recipe from Food Wishes?  I saw notification for that video yesterday, but I didn't watch it as it didn't sound that interesting/appealing to me.

Bingo!  I love his videos and delivery.  I also applaud him for his internet savvy.

Try his Mexican Shrimp Cocktail recipe.

Chef John from Food Wishes is awesome!

I just checked out his Mexican Shrimp Cocktail recipe.  It sure sounds like what I had heard my grandpa ate when he was in Acapulco, Mexico.  I think my grandma said he ate something like 20 of those.  I wish my grandparents were still around so I could ask them if this was the same or similar dish.

Tonight we also made a recipe from Chef John, his Chicken and Rice.  We modified his recipe slightly, but here is what we came up with:

Well tonight, lemon jalapeño marinated mussels for my wife and spicy shrimp fritters with Bahama style dipping sauce for me.

I'm curious Peter how the mussels turned out?

Hi!

Yesterday, BBQ. Spareribs, Steak and Pork neck.

Selfmade cucumber salad, red sauce, herb butter ...

Today, at least until we have dinner. Home baked strawberry cake. (Biscuit, vanilla pudding, strawberries and topped with melted currant jam and cream ...)

Kind regards,
Oliver

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] , I try to be honest here so:  My wife love them but then she loves all things related to mussels.  Mission accomplished.  Me, well, I spit mine out in the trashcan.  Not for me.  Kinda thought so in advance.  But then I love cooking but hate eating anyway.

Seth you should call that creation the Heart Attack Inducer.  I would still try a slice.

That’s funny...I think mussels are the same as fresh raw oysters, people either love them or hate them. I love them both.  [smile]  One of my favorites is a fresh oyster martini ... delicious. Two of them are even more delicious.  [tongue]

At any rate, I’d never heard of Chef John before so it was interesting going to his blog and checking out some recipes. The jalapeño mussels recipe jumped out at me so I opened up Paprika, loaded the mussels URL, hit copy & then save and the recipe is now part of my cookbook. Couldn’t be easier.

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] , if you have an hour to kill there is an interview video with him on YouTube that I think is interesting because it explains some things about him (like why you won't see him in a recipe video) and why he doesn't list the recipe in his videos.  Refreshing in my mind because he doesn't have the Food Network "I am a chef" aura.  Check it out.

The best way to search for recipes is on his blog site. 

If you like pizza - search for Wolgang Puck Pizza dough!  His San Fransico bagels are great!  With 1400+ videos on his site there is much to surf thru but all his videos are short.

Happy surfing!

Thanks Peter... I will check it out. I rather liked the sense of humor he displayed during the jalapeño mussels video.  [smile]  That took me by surprise.

Like pizza...who doesn’t like pizza? That’s one thing I’m still trying to work the kinks out of. Between the dough, the toppings, the cheeses, the sauce, the chew of the crust...way too many variables for me. I actually like cold pizza BEST at times.  [cool]

Wines?  Not sure if this is drifting too much.  Two of my favorites, Orin Swift/Dave Phinney's Mannequin (white) and Machete (red).  Cool wine maker.

I had built a gate for free for someone to return a favor he had done for a friend of mine.  Every time I saw him he would give me one or two bottles of Machete until I had to refuse them... sort of.  I ended up with quite a few bottles.

Cheers!

Last night my wife made 100 egg rolls.  We fried them all in our deep fryer and as we always do, we froze the bulk of them to eat in the future.  We also made kind of a cross between asian congee and greek avgolemono soup served with chicken hearts that had been fried in butter.

I enjoy both cooking and baking. Haven't run into a dish I can't cook well after a try or two.

Someone mentioned Beef Bourguignon, my favorite variation is Ox tail Bourguignon.

A few things created over the years.

Tom that German Chocolate Cake has my craving meter running pretty high.  Thanks a lot!

I have been told by many it is the best they have ever had, that includes the ones my mother would make. The trick today is to make your own whole buttermilk, the lower fat buttermilk’s just don’t work.

My carrot and pound cakes are second to none, took me years to get the chemistry just right.

Chocolate chip cookies are another of my very special concoctions.

I need to find time to do some baking.

  Fantastic food here - "common"  food made well as well as fairly exotic. Makes me want to be a little more adventurous in the kitchen and on the grill. But the other day - after a rain, my LED Control Unit - da brains of my grill/smoker needs to be replaced. Glad I have a good gas Weber on hand.

Yes and sure does Joe! But things happen and I'm sure they will send out a new Control panel. There Customer Service is very responsive.
