The land of wolves

A long hiatus!!

2010-12-18T22:37:00.000-08:00

OK! Here we go again! I want to start blogging again on a regular basis. After winning the pie contest two years running, this year with my pecan-walnut pie with best looking pie to my cran-raspberry I feel inclined to experiment more and post my efforts. I hope to start working on more baking goods and learning more on decorating. I do very well in the taste area but perform badly in aesthetics.

Where the hell you been?

2007-10-03T21:39:00.000-07:00

I am back!!! yea!!

OK, I made some Tostones yesterday! They were great, i may do some other plantain recipes!

I made spanakopita today, i used feta and a blue chees and pumkin spice. I overcooked them, but they came out great!

I will have to have them tried and see if they are liked, maybe pumkin spice is too strong.

I still have much too do!

Chow!! Cioppino!!

2006-11-13T19:25:00.000-08:00

Long time no Blog!! Geez i have been lost for a while!

Now as winter is starting, i am starting to really cook again.

I won 3 place in September Dessert contest for the Hospital picnic (although i was a judge).

My tasty dish i made tonight was based on the quick Cioppino recipe i found on epicurious.

I added 2 habenero instead of red pepper flakes and 2oz can of anchovie fillets (finely chopped)

And during the saute' i added a quarter cup of wine to deglaze a bit!

The flavors and heat were exxxelent (very sexy food)!!!!

Finally!!!!

Aki from Ideas in Food tapped me for the following meme:

My thought in this meme is food items or events that changed your foodie life. Not some oh, its the first time I didnt put jelly on a peanut butter sandwich and used bananas instead sort of change, unless you truly feel that affected you profoundly. Thats the key - it affected you profoundly, in some manner. A moment you can look back at and say that was a defining moment. The questions are simple, the answers might be harder - an item, person, event, or place that had that effect on you, and why. They dont have to be big splashy things - sometimes its something very small and simple that changes the way we view the world - the famed butterfly effect (and Im not talking about the Aston Kutcher movie). So, to those who want to participate, copy this and pass it on (and, if youre so inclined, do a trackback to the originating post). Here are your categories:

1. An ingredient
2. A dish, a recipe
3. A meal (in a restaurant, a home, or elsewhere)
4. A cookbook or other written work
5. A food personality (chef, writer, etc.)
6. Another person in your life

1. Hops. I would have to say this was the ingredient that changed my life. I was learning to brew beer with a friend of mine and after making a stout, we made an IPA. We used Cascade hops and after tasting the hops before adding them to the tea, it was exquisite!!

2. WoW, so many to choose from, from the chicken biryani i had in Bahrain to PHO soup (and to mention the simple cauliflower soup i make). Like music its hard to pick a fatheire because thier is so much to choose from, food sings to me!!

3. I spent 50 bucks to have racrestaurantin a resturaunt ( a little over $100 with my wifes meal also) in LA once, the place settings were extravagant and there were 6 servers for our party! But, the lamb had very littlvegetables the vegitables and potatoes Iere something i could have whipped up in 10 minutes. This experience made me realize that good food with lots of flavor could be had without pretention. (this night was saved because we then went to see Kids in the hall live!!).

4. OI so manI, but i guess i would have to say Vegetable Love, it has given me many thivegetables with vegavegetarian any vegitarian book has!!

5. This one is sooooo easy, Alton Brown, he presents cooking in a simple and entertaining matter and does very well to present recipes!!

6. My second wife (sorry Suzy), she is the one that first started me in cooking. She loved my food when I made it (although this did not stop her from being unfaithful), i started my love for cooking because of her! Now with my fiance' Suzy I wanted to create food that pleases her and makes her happy!

Cardoon!! I saw you standing alone!!

2006-06-11T19:48:00.000-07:00

Ok, well that was an experiment.

I deleaved and cleaned the Cardoon, cut it into 2 inch pieces and boiled them in lemon juice and salt for 30 minutes. I then put them in a pan, made a bechemel sauce with mustard powder and salt, covered the piece with the sauce and topped with Cheddar cheese, then baked at 375 for 15 minutes.

Well, the flavor is, how do I say, off. I usually like off flavors, but this one did not say to me "its pretty ok". It said "what the hell are you eating me for, jerk".

So, my motto being "I will try anything 3 or 4 times (not liver, don't like the liver eww uckk arrgh), I will do some more study of this plant and dishes and try one more time!!

Vicious shwas a way to e-scape!!

Scape Vichyssois!!! Recipe and Review at the end of farmer markets pictures!

Finally the Farmers Market opened up in town!!

This is Part of the table for Don's Waterfall Farms!!

They specialize in Peppers and Heirloom tomatoes.

They Did not have any produce yet (Still growing, but they had some Cardoon and Scape.

The following picture is the Cardoon. I will post later after preparing something from it!

And this is Scape. Below i make a great soup and will pickle the stems!

They were selling weird stuff at the market also.

Now to the soup!! I browned the scape a little and this gave the soup a soft roasted garlic taste to it!

I also used Superior Touch "Better Than Bouillon", which gave it a nice rich taste.

I love this soup and it shows why fresh ingredients are the best!!

Scape Vichyssoise

A classic soup (served hot or cold) for garlic lovers. If scapes are not available at a specialty shop or farmer's market, use 1/4 cup sliced garlic. If you like spicy soups, add a few drops of chili oil.

4 servings
35 minutes 10 mins prep

1 tablespoon butter
2 cups chopped garlic scapes
1 cup sliced leeks
2 cups diced peeled red potatoes
4 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup whipping cream
salt, & freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Heat butter in pot over medium-high heat; add scapes& leaks and saute for 2 minutes.

Add potatoes& saute until softened slightly, about 2 minutes longer.

Add stock& bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium& simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.

Puree in food processor or with a hand immersion blender.

Add cream& seasonings to taste.
Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavours.
Stir in parsley.

COQ A VIN-A fancy way of saying chicken cooked in wine!

2006-06-08T20:58:00.000-07:00

I signed up for Cook's Illustraded to test recipes and the below coq a vin was the 1st! I have made this before using an Alton Brown version from his show cukoo for coq a vin.

Next time i make this, i will make the sauce a lot thicker, the sauce is the dfinitive part of this and i think pouring it over rice or a starchy noodle (or maybe a bread) will help one enjoy this better!!

Since finding boneless thighs is difficult and expensive to by boned thighs and deboning i used 2.5lbs of chicken breast!

The flavors were well blended, but the juice was more flavorfull, thats why there should be something added like a bread or rice that will absorb the juice.

Coq au Vin
Serves 4 to 6

Avoid bold, heavily oaked red wine varietals like Cabernet and light-bodied wines like Beaujolais. Serve the stew with egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

If you cannot find frozen pearl onion, substitute the same amount of peeled fresh pearl onions.

1 (750 ml) bottle medium-bodied, fruity red wine such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, or light Rhone Valley wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
10 sprigs fresh parsley plus 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
4 ounces bacon, preferably thick-cut, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
Table salt
Ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
24 frozen pearl onions (evenly sized), thawed, drained, and patted dry (about 1 cup, or 5 ounces) 8 ounces white button mushrooms, wiped clean, trimmed, halved if small and quartered if large
2 medium cloves garlic, minced or pressed through garlic press (about 2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1. In large saucepan, simmer wine, broth, 10 sprigs parsley, thyme, and bay over medium-high heat until reduced to 3 cups, about 25 minutes. Remove and discard herbs.

2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in large Dutch oven over medium heat until browned and fat has rendered, 7 to 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat.

3. Fold chicken thighs in half and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon bacon fat in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown thighs in single layer (thighs should remain folded in half to prevent overcooking) until just golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to large plate.

4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in now-empty Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When foaming subsides, add pearl onions and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When butter is melted, stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.

5. Add chicken thighs, reserved cooked bacon, reduced wine/broth mixture, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; scrape bottom of pot with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time.

6. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to large serving platter and tent loosely with foil. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer sauce until it is thick, glossy, and measures 3 1/4 cups, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

**If frozen pearl onions are not available, you may substitute fresh pearl onions instead. Do not use jarred pearl onions, which quickly turn mushy and disintegrate into the sauce. To use fresh pearl onions, trim the root and stem end of each pearl onion and discard. Boil for 1 minute, shock in ice water, then peel a thin strip from root to stem. Remove any remaining outer skin—like peeling off a jacket.

Leap of Faith 2 or soup gone wrong!!!!

2006-06-05T20:21:00.000-07:00

I realized my mistake when i looked at the recipe for yesterdays cauliflower soup, I did not see the 1lb before the 6oz. Even though i used a little more than 6oz of cauliflower it came out thin.

So i made it again tonight with LOTS of cauliflower and ohhh ohhhhhhhh, it was delicious. Thicker with more developed flavors!!

Leap of Faith

2006-06-04T20:49:00.000-07:00

I tried the cauliflower soup listed on albioncooks. It was very good!! I did not carefully measure the ingredients. I sweated about a cup of Vidalia sweet onion and a large portion of cauliflower.

I also used white pepper to keep it clean!! The flavors were wonderful, I need to use more cauliflower next time.

SPICY RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEPPERS

2006-06-01T20:20:00.000-07:00

I'm living in cowtown!!

2006-05-26T19:33:00.000-07:00

Its true!!! I live in a cow town full of Tillamook milk cows!!

This is the back of the Hospital were i work!!

And behind me while i was taking the pictures, COWS!!

WOW!!! This must be cow heaven!! all hoof deep in grass!!

I think this one has sinister thoughts about me!!

FOOD CLUB!!!! YEA!!!

2006-05-22T20:41:00.000-07:00

This time next year i will be so busy with the club i won't know what to do, in the mean time....

Saturday I made a jambalaya, it used andouille sausage that i had my fiance send up from Tip Top meats in carlsbad, Ca. The flavor was nice and well rounded. The rice was a little mushy. but all in all it was a great dish.

The only person to show was Dawn (who works at the hospital), she brought over some thai food that was pretty good. There was a nice peanut sauce, that IMHO could have had more heat!!

Her daughter loved my cats, and even thought Dark star (the large male) was pregnant, i said he was just fat.

I hope to have another meeting next month with more people, i think i will plan it for the day of the opening of the farmers market. We can do a tour and pick some fresh ingredients for cooking.

Sunday i made a clam chowder out of the clams and juice the guys upstairs gave me, it came out really good (except i let it come to a boil which curdled the milk a little, so it had a slight bumpy look).

Tonight, i made the jambalaya again. This time i made the vegetables a little chunkier and added 2 jalepeno's and 1 habenaro to kick the heat up a little. (BAM!!)

This day is without food blogs

2006-05-17T20:39:00.000-07:00

From the NY Time's Editorial Desk May 2,2006:
"One of the Internet's great strengths is that a single blogger or a small political group can inexpensively create a Web page that is just as accessible to the world as Microsoft's home page. But this democratic Internet would be in danger if the companies that deliver Internet service changed the rules so that Web sites that pay them money would be easily accessible, while little-guy sites would be harder to access, and slower to navigate".

Well, i have jumped on the bandwagon (Hey?!!?! Where's the band!!??). Anywho, big business wins and we lose again. Its up their with paying for 250 channels and all you really watch are maybe 7-12 or that gas stations all raise their prices to the same price at the same time (except the one who is 1 penny less than the other stations to show you he is really competing). We keep getting screwed and they keep getting paid.

So, please go to these sites and register!!

Save the Internet Sign a petition!! Nuetrality?? hands off!!!

So hot!!! So very very hot!!!!

2006-05-15T20:32:00.000-07:00

What the hell happened?? we have been having 50+ weather when suddenly BAM!!

Even the cows were hot!!

Good weekend

2006-05-14T20:44:00.000-07:00

I had an easy weekend! Did a lot of cleaning! Getting ready for the food club meetng next week.

I have some greens on, cooked up a dish starting with red onion, garlic and a habenero in butter:

Then i added potato steamed in microwave and pot roast:

I let it heat through and added some auj ju and kosher salt. It had a very nice taste and was filling The habenero gave it some good heat with burning!!

Cookin' sausage and fryin' eggs!!!

2006-05-08T22:35:00.000-07:00

I got up early this morning to help make breakfast for the hospital week celibration!!

This is the oven i cooked the sausages!!!!

These are turkey sausages.

This are vegy sausages!!

This is someone making scrambled eggs!

Our breakfast service, i am somewhere at the right doing fried eggs oupon request.

here are some managers!!!

And here i am between cookings!!

OYFG!! What a day!

2006-05-03T21:38:00.000-07:00

What a horrible day, I find a steam leak in 1 sterilizer and after it is fixed the unit lockes up. The other sterilizer is leaking somewhere also and I have a third possibly having a problem.

I was able to get the blood typing unit working again and passing QC, but still cant get above 54 gain!

Had a nice dinner, Canadian farmed salmon with salt and pepper and lime with noodles and tomato sauce and a half of a avocado. I wanted to make cupcakes tonight, but I will wait till tomorrow.

Yea!!!

2006-04-30T21:58:00.000-07:00

Cool weekend!!

I was feeling a bit peckish, so I decided to hit a restaurant in tillamook, next thing I know I have driven 50 miles and I am in Seaside. So, I thought I would have lunch there. I found a Cajun restaurant called Lil' Bayou. I had the Seafood and sausage Jambalaya. It was nice, could have been a bit more spicy and the rice was wonderful, I think it was a medium grain. And, since I left my book their, I think I will head up their on the morrow and get it (and also order a poboy).

I cooked a chicken in my dutch oven, I rubbed it with kosher salt and added 2 apples, 1 onion and a bunch of pieces of ginger. It had a very subtle sweet and ginger taste!

I had brought home some rock fish, but I waited too long to cook it, 3 days is apparently to long and it had a nasty fishy smell.

I watched the worst movie ever this weekend, its called back from hell. It is worth seeing because it is so bad. I won't give anything away except to say "fat zombie ninja's".

DEEEELICIOUS!!!!!

2006-04-26T21:00:00.000-07:00

I sit here wondering, why do we have to die? Just when we reach a certain maturity that allows us to see and sense and touch the world around us. Apologies for sounding so morose, but after cooking a simple tomato, onion, garlic and heavy cream sauce with salt and pepper, i want to experience more!!!

I finally started the Tillamook Cooking Club, i have 3 people interested and have a posting in the hospital newsletter that may atract more people, but i hope not too large since the first meeting will be a potluck in my apartment. Our first meeting will be may 20th.

Work went well today, have to get a part for the ABS2000. I think jerrie in purchasing will be mad at me because i keep complaining that my orders are late and she takes it seriously. She needs to realize that it is more of a problem with Pro-click than anything else.

Love it!! Loooove It!!

2006-04-24T20:29:00.000-07:00

This is starting to get easier!!

During the Weekend i made a slow bake beans, with pinto ham hock and chili spices. I added a diced habanero at the begining of cooking and another diced habanero in the last hour of cooking. This resulted in a nice taste with a low level heat without being hot! I serve this on rice.

Tonight i did a smaller version of Rachael Ray's i think it was from Nova Scotia or some such apple potatoe hash, i diced 1 apple 1/2 onion and sweated them in olive oil and butter, then i added a diced large russet Potato that i microwaved for 8 minutes to soften it, salt and pepper and oh my!!! Tomorrow i hope to make the simple roma tomato green onion and cream sauce for a paste (she did it with a canadian benedict egg), and also i want to do a simple egg cooked in olive oil with sea salt and pepper (spanish style).

Work was a little hectic today, had to order everything i needed to do anesthesia PM's. I found a decent flow meter for $240. And, a tech at another hospital says he has a volume meter that he was going to throw it away, so i might be able to get it for free ($1000 saving). Now i just need to figure out my test setups.

HUH? you would think it would be better!

2006-03-27T21:34:00.000-08:00

Went for training on blood type and cross unit in Norcross. I learned a lot, but there was no service manual or other documentation until i asked for some kind of sheet so i did not have to keep asking the technician for the codes and sequence to enter each test sequence. Service manuals were coppied to CD rom then we were told they would be mailed to us!

So i learned lots with hands on, but we could of learned so much more with proper set up!

Great resteraunt experience, phound a pho place and slurped some pho. Ate at a caribean place, i want to go back! The Rattlesnake pasta was good, i suggested that they could have had some kind of reduction sauce with a sharp taste in a small glass to pour over pasta or made with alcohol like tequila for a quick shot and called it antivenom.

Dominicks was ok, the sausage was nice, but i like a firmer sausage while the sauce in the spagetti could have had more bite to it.

Got to a waffle house, order almost got screwed up and I did not get the grits i ordered. But all in all a good time!

Jeez, how about posting more often!!

2006-03-27T21:31:00.000-08:00

Lets see, left for dream job, left dream job because of crappy people. Now i have great job working 50 bed hospital! Everyone here is glad that i am here and i am learning even more.

Tillamook County General Hospital!!!

Sigh, now the real work!!

2005-05-10T21:24:00.000-07:00

Yeaaa!!!! I have a job, and what an opportunity!!

I have been offered an assistant manager position at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Ca with Aramark.

Now, the tough part. I have to get my stuff packed loaded and moved before next week. Then i have to find a place and arrange for transport of my stuff.

A little bit O'hope!!!

2005-04-28T00:56:00.000-07:00

My interview with Aramark went well, I only lost the address and phone numbers when I got to orange county and spent an hour finding the information. They said they would let me know by Friday if I am being considered for a position. With my management background, they talked about putting me in a position as second under a manager.

I also got a call from Madigan Army Hospital, I will talk with them as a backup in case the Aramark job does not happen.

Does it get any better??

2005-04-25T00:24:00.000-07:00

This was a fun week!! I went to Corvallis to hang with my brother Joe. We had some fun, especially watching the kids in front of the taco place they were getting a donation from for purchases done during certain times.

Friday, I went golfing at Salem golf course. I was doing ok, , even after not playing for a number of years. Although, I was missing a six iron a putter and a pitching wedge, but I had 3 9 irons!!

we (Rolf and joe and myself), had a quick lunch at Rudy's on the course then went home for a short rest. Afterwards we met mother and Hanna (joes wife) at Olive Garden. The food was good (except for mothers to salty food) and it was mostly fun.

We all then went to the Oregon Craft Brewfest, I tried beers from breweries I have not tried ( a couple I have), The only problem I had was that the people pouring the beer had no idea about their product, they were just volunteers. The information was even in front of them in the write up of the beer. We left a little earlier than I wanted to but I had blueberry cheese cake to sooth me!

I look forward to next week, I have an interview in Orange county with Aramark for Tri-Cities hospital in Oceanside California. I expect to get, so I am all ready starting to pack my stuff for the potential move.

I love Suzy Price!!! She lives in Vista, California which is the land of magic lama's!!

Suzy works for Beckmam-Coulter and makes chemicals for world domonation!!!

She has 1 child going on 13 who will annoy you for a price!! Has 1 rabbit name fluffy, a cat named "stop bothering her" who recently had an encapsulated cyst removed and 1 chinchilla called "waiting for cat to eat"!!!

She wishes nothing more than to be a geyser at yellowstone!!!!

I love her very much and hope that one day she turns into a grey whale and lives in the ocean!!!

Trying to keep busy

2005-04-10T22:02:00.000-07:00

This has been a month, I spent 2 weeks visiting my mother and her husband. I prepared some interesting dishes for their nightly repast. Among them were:

Cincinnati Chilli, Which was very good and can be served on rice or spaghetti noodles!!!

Poached tilapia, although recipe calls for catfish I find Tilapia a much better fish.

Lasagna, I used a rice lasagna noodle. The noodle disintegrated into small pieces during the preparation, I used the pieces in layers and they held together well with the cheese and meat preparation.

Earlier I had made a vegetable lasagna that was OK, but it lacked savor. I had also made the pasta with a mechanical pasta machine. It was harder than I thought, but when the pastry started rolling out it came out great!

Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Lessons learned from this is either start with a higher oil heat because the heat drops dramatically when chicken is added which causes the inside to cook slower and the outside to grow darker. Or, use a cast iron pan that will retain heat better.

On the job hunt, nothing really new in my area. I am looking at taking some education opportunities in radiological repair or other areas.

Also, maybe a chance to spend 2 years in Indonesia managing a BMET shop. I will inquire about it on monday.

Otherwise, I will start looking out of state for a job (which their are many).

Yet another week!!

2005-03-02T00:35:00.000-08:00

No prospects this week so far. A couple of positions have opened in Florida and Texas, but i will hold out for positions here in washington.

It's Sunny but cold!!

2005-02-21T22:02:00.000-08:00

Not a very exiting weekend. I saw the move Constantine, and it was awsome!!! I liked the darkness of the movie with the addition of special affects!!

I had a response to a possible job here in seattle. A company called UHS needs someone to manage thier contract. It is something i am suited for and can do repairs also.

The hardest part about Unemployment Compensation, is coming up with 3 contacts a week. That many jobs in my field do not come up that often in this area. I think that just checking job posting sites can suffice as long as i show i am pursuing employment!!

2005-02-03T15:38:00.000-08:00

Second day of unemployment!! GE -mailed me to tell me the position in Colorado is taken, please try again!!

Michigan is making an offer to someone who may not except it and i might be next in line!!
