ScotteeM Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I can't find a "Lunch" thread, so I'll put this here: We just had Chesapeake Bay Oyster Stew from John Shields' book (I used leeks instead of onions). For a few decades, oyster stew has been a traditional lunch for us on Thanksgiving and Christmas, always made by my mother-in-law. I was never able to get her to give me the recipe, mainly because I don't think it was written down anywhere and she never measured anything. Shields' recipe is not the same, but it is good and rich, and close enough. Merry Christmas, Catherine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I luuuuuuuuuuuurve oyster stew. Although our traditional one is little more than butter, milk, cream, salt, pepper, and oysters. I sometimes put bacon, ginger, or a bit of leek in, but I am them slammed for being a ridiculous moderniste. My wife, who'll barely touch the raw ones, also loves oyster stew.

JLK Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Right now, I'm eating an average sandwich from Corner Bakery. But I'm still thinking about the most caloric thing I ate over the Christmas holiday: chicken "wing" dip which contained not just cream cheese, but also cheddar cheese, chopped chicken, other mystery ingredients and about a bottle of hot sauce. Kinda gross, kinda good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanabutler Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Soup: duck base, Andouille sausage, chunks of Blue Ballet squash, Rancho Gordo Rio Zapé beans (dark brown, almost a coffee-chocolate flavor to them), mushrooms, dried chipotle and dried cayenne chiles, and a boost of organic chicken broth. I'll probably build some more into it today: roasted corn or something.Mmmmm, mmmmm, good for a sun-finally-broke-out-on-the-California-coast winter's day.

mhberk Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Turkey Chipotle Chili Soup from Produce Galore here in Columbia. It's ground turkey (some big chunks) with chipotle chilies, onions, navy beans, and green peppers in a light turkey broth (very little broth I might add). Not at all spicy, but it has a very strong and flavorful taste. I added a dollup of sour cream and sprinkled some chopped cilantro on top. Washing it down with a SoBe Green Tea iced tea.

Meaghan Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ingredients: Enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate [vitamin B1], riboflavin [vitamin B2], folic acid), vegetable oil (canola, cottonseed palm, sunflower and/or partially hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ for freshness), skim milk cheese (skim milk, whey protein, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, annatto extract for color), contains two percent or less of milk, salt, paprika, yeast, paprika oleoresin for color, cheese cultures, soy lecithin. Mmm, paprika! A lovely orange cracker with none of the ramifications (on your fingers/keyboard), that reign supreme with their bastard brother, Cheeto. Cheese Nips, Orange Goldfish, not the same.

Xochitl10 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Today's impulse purchase at Whole Foods: Skyr. It's Icelandic, kind of like yogurt, made with cultured, concentrated skim milk. It's really creamy, and tastes kind of cheesy at the end. It also appears to have vanilla seeds in it (WF also had blueberry). Mr. Xochitl thought it was like icing. The more garbage-disposal-like of my two Akitas did not like it so much, his picky friend seemed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the Skyr when it was on sale at the end of the Icelandic food featured at WF, and really liked it. I bought it in SS and I looked for it again, but since they did not have any, I figured they wouldn't be carrying it anymore. Did you get it at the WF in SS?

They had a small display of it in the cheese section, between the dairy case along the back wall and the freestanding cheese displays. I was craving it again today. Did you have the vanilla or the blueberry? Now I'm eating leftover chicken fried steak. Mmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
