I put the meat (beef or turkey) in a pan, add my seasoning (McCormick hot packet plus pinch extra salt), then cover with water. Bring to a boil then simmer until liquid is reduced. I skim the fat towards the end.

This will produce a well seasoned and fine ground meat for tacos/enchiladas/etc.. You can add onion/pepper etc as well.

Looks good bud. Impressed that you grilled a flaky white fish. What made you choose that method over pan or oven?

Wow thanks for all the responses!

Any thoughts on Boucherie or K-Paul's? I've never been to either so not sure on their volume.

Quiet New Orleans Restaurants

Posted by Grayling on 3/31/14 at 4:19 pm
My father is hard of hearing and refuses to go get hearing aids. He is generally miserable in loud restaurants at dinner. We took him to La Boca (new location) a couple of weeks ago and we all had to yell the whole time so he could hear.

So I'm looking for some mid to high priced quiet restaurants to have a family meal in New Orleans. The only one's I can think of off the top of my head are August & Gautreau's, which are good options but a little too formal/pricey for a regular meal.

Anyone have any thoughts for quiet options? My parents like to drink so a good bar is a plus.

The client is very old New Orleans if you know what I mean

Happy hour in the CBD area

Posted by Grayling on 1/31/14 at 9:39 am
I need to plan a happy hour for a client in the CBD area. We are going to have around 10 people, and want to have drinks and appetizers.

Are there any good places for this around the CBD? I want it to be at a place that's a little nicer than Lucy's or something

Where in Texas would do this?

I agree Tarpon rodeo is a good idea, but he isn't a drinker. He is just really into guns.

Bachelor party ideas

Posted by Grayling on 1/21/14 at 8:02 am
My brother is getting married in June, and one of his bachelor party requests is to go shoot machine guns. I was thinking it would be awesome to take him to an outdoor range where we could shoot a variety of guns. It would be awesome if we could do something like him blowing up a propane tank too

Anyone know of something like this in south Louisiana?

Romans on Perkins is my favorite. Pita is money, sides are good, and good kebab.

Banana cream pie (emerils in particular)
I was there last night as well. Thought it was pretty good. Party of two shared the sweet potato crusted tuna salad, duck crepes, deviled eggs, scallops, and crawfish pie.

Tuna salad was just ok. Would not order again.

Duck crepes were solid. Deviled eggs were awesome I could of ate 10.

Crawfish pie was nothing special.

The scallops themselves were amazing cooked perfectly. However something went horribly wrong with the hollandaise sauce. It was one of the worst sauces I have ever tasted, like motor oil. Luckily it was served to the side.

We got the chocolate dessert and the sweet potato bread pudding. Pudding was awesome, chocolate was meh.

I'll be back to try their other offerings.

Grilled cheese sandwiches with peanut butter on them.

Much better than you would expect.

Zapp's Sour Cream & Creole Onion

Posted by Grayling on 8/1/12 at 7:41 pm
What happened to this flavor of zapp's in Louisiana? I can't find them anywhere in Baton Rouge, but I found a deli in St Louis that has them.

Would love to find some in baton rouge as they are my favorite flavor.

re: Anyone use whiskey stones?

Posted by Grayling on 12/23/11 at 9:11 am to
The only problem I could see is that some whiskeys actually open up more when the ice in them melts. So with whiskey stones you might have to add water to your whiskey if it is too hot (too high proof).

re: Need recs on a coffee grinder

Posted by Grayling on 12/20/11 at 10:20 pm to
You can find it as little or as much as you'd like with the krups. So a course grind or a fine grind. It will take you some monkeying with it to figure out how long to grind it for to get your desired consistency. That being said given the nature of the grinder you won't have a perfectly consistent grind. The only reason this really matters for French press is that finely ground coffee can slip through the filter and give the coffee a chalky mouthfeel.

re: Need recs on a coffee grinder

Posted by Grayling on 12/20/11 at 10:16 pm to
To get a consistent grind I'd recommend you look at spending a little more and getting a burr grinder. This is the one I have and it works great. It gives you a lot more control over grind size and a much more even grind.

That being said if your not looking to spend that kind of money I have this grinder that works ok for the price. You just have to pay close attention to not over grind.

Perfect Prime Rib

quote:

If timing goes off and your roast is ready long before your guests are, the roast can be re-heated by placing in a 200°F oven for 45 minutes


Probably relevant outside the context of that recipe. I plan on using that technique this year though as the results look fantastic!
