4 Tomatoes
2 Bell Peppers
2 small cucumbers (ca. 250g)
1 medium onion
1-2 jalapenos
300-500g bologna sausage (I'm using Turky Extrawurst)
1 can of corn
1 can of red beans

Chop tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, onion, jalapenos, sausage. Drain corn and beans. Mix it all together.

For the dressing:
olive oil
white wine vinegar
dijon mustard
tabasco
Italian herbs

Mix ingredients to taste and add to salad - enough to giveit some consistency, not so much that it pools a cm high at the bottom.

If you feel like it, you can add chopped cheese (cheddar or gouda) to the salad.

Smoked Tuna Dip

2 lbs. Sashimi grade Tuna Steaks
2 cups mayonnaise
¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce

For the Marinade:

1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Honey
1 bunch green onions sliced
2 bulbs garlic minced
2 table spoons mixed ginger

Combine marinade ingredients into a plastic bag and add fish.  Brine overnight, hot smoke fish for 3 hours then combine in a food processor with mayonnaise and Worcestershire.  Put in a bowl in refrigerator for 24 hours.  Serve with crackers.

Mom made a turkey for Easter and brought it over. By the time everyone (all of my poor family members) had taken their spoils home, I was left with basically just the skeleton. Here's what I did.


Turkey Drop Soup

1: Stick the leftover bird and carrots/onions/whatever was roasted with it in a pot and cover it with just enough water that the breastbone sticks out. Simmer most of a day on very low heat. I did about 8 hours I think. Don't boil it. Just a little water movement.

2: Once that's done, the turkey will no longer be a turkey-shaped object. It will be a pile of stuff. Pour off the water(now broth) into another pot so all the solids are left. Use a strainer maybe. Pull out whatever pieces of meat you can get from the bones and spent veggies and put it in the liquid. There's usually quite a lot. Be careful not to keep any bones. At this point you may want to remove some of the fat from the broth. If you're careful, you can ladle it off the top. If you have time, just stick it in the fridge for a couple hours. The fat will freeze on top and you can just take it off that way. You don't want to take it all out though for this.

3: Toss the bones and other mush and then get some eggs. You're supposed to use whites, or a 2/1 ratio of whites/yolk for egg drop, I think. It doesn't really matter. I don't follow rules well.

4: Make the broth however you want. I add a little soy, sesame or fish sauce maybe. You might want to add some stuff to strengthen the flavor if you simmered for less time or took out a lot of the fat. I usually don't need to. Add some salt, whatever. If it's a post-Thanksgiving thing, you can add some of that leftover gravy too. I also like to make it spicier with some chili oil and ginger. As you can probably tell, I rarely use measuring devices of any kind in my kitchen.

5: Once you have your broth the flavor you want, bring it to a hot boil. Whip up the eggs with a fork and drizzle them slowly off the fork into the boiling liquid. They should cook instantly. Add corn starch to thicken the soup to the consistency you like and you're done.

There will be exactly two things in the soup at this point. Turkey and eggs. If you want you can add some veggies or other stuff during stage 4. I prefer to be minimalist on it though. It shouldn't need too much other stuff.

That sounds fucking delicious.

If you were to use a red wine to baste chicken with, what would you use?

[ulmont]

Mark West Pinot Noir, because it's a really good cheap pinot noir and about the only red wine I keep around all the time.

I liked playing NHL 94 best, along with General Chaos and Road Rash.

Little turd always knocked me off my motorcycle.

Great games.  Road Rash was the only racing game I ever liked.  General Chaos was great fun as well.

I'm still dreaming about it. It was wonderful. I'll be doing it every time there is a cooked turkey around.
