I think meatloaf is obscene and should only be thinly sliced for sandwiches and given to homeless people.

You may be right about the songs, but the punishment seems a little harsh!

I don't really do recipes, but try something like this...

I buy a good quality jarred green curry paste. Add a tablespoon or two to 1 lb ground turkey. Add an egg, some breadcrumbs, a little cream or milk or coconut milk (if you have it) till it's the right consistency. No salt, the curry paste is salty enough. Maybe a little minced red pepper, onion, chiffonade of basil, mint, minced cilantro. A squirt of sriracha if you want it hotter. Mix well. Form into a loaf, or meatballs, or miniloafs or whatever.

Bake at 375-400ish till internal temp is over 150F.

Alternately, form into burgers and pan fry. Serve with sriracha mayo, tomato slices and a salad of herbs.

The curry paste will survive indefinitely in my fridge.

Paula Deen's Shrimp Creole. Super Easy

2 tablespoons olive oil
I teaspoon white sugar
1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
I/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onions
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 (14-ounces) can tomatoes
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp
Green onions, for garnish

Preheat crock pot on high.
In fry pan, heat olive oil. Add peppers, onions and celery. Cook until softened. Add chili powder and saute until caramelized. Remove from heat and pour into crock pot. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, hot sauce, Worcestershire, white sugar, salt and pepper.
Cook for 3 hours. Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes. Serve over rice. Top with chopped green onions.

note:

I bought huge shrimp at a two thirds of a pound and it was enough for 3 or 4 people I thought. Plus I cooked stove top for one hour instead of using a crock pot.

2 pork chops

Slop all the other ingredients in the chutney jar and give it a good shake
Put the chops on top of the veg
Slop the contents of the jar into the slow cooker

This step is the very definition of awesome. Gets the last of the chutney without scraping, and saves washing a mixing bowl. I love it!

I'm going to do pork chops with roasted root veggies tonight -- sweet potatoes, turnips, beets, onions, and I'll probably toss in some peppers, maybe apples. Limey, your sauce sounds like it would work well with my chops... Ginger preserves, 5-spice, chili, soy.

Or I might hit the veggies with rosemary and a little truffle oil, glaze the chops with mustard...

So many choices!

#306 - was delicious.
For those who want some certainties in this life:
2 pork chops
leftover veg (1 onion, 1 stick celery, a carrot)
1/3 cup any wine
2 tbsp any chutney
1/3 cup any fruit juice
1 tsp five spice powder
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic
I humbly submit that any chutney and any fruit juice will do - you will see how marvellously the two I used up did not match at all.
Oh, and thank you, clod!

All rightey dightey, good on yer there Limey!

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie

* 1 cup peanut butter-creamy or chunky
* 1 large egg
* 1 cup Splenda

Beat the egg slightly
Add the peanut butter and sugar-mix well
Drop by the teaspoon full onto an ungreased cookie sheet
Smash the dough down with the tines of a fork making a cross-hatch pattern
Bake at 350 degrees until the edges begin to appear dry-approximately 6-10 minutes

They taste just as good as any other cookie. I like them better than the ones with flour.
You may use regular sugar too.

'funny, that word is one that I can never get used to. It always sounds odd to me: jello.

casimendocina · 11-25-2009, 08:55 PM

Same here.

Aliantha · 11-25-2009, 08:56 PM

Yeah...they should just say Jelly like the rest of the free world.

Also, what is cool whip?
