Otokichi Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Along with PBS' "Beads, Baubles,and Jewels," I record a number of cooking shows for MSO. "America's Test Kitchens," "Martin Yan's Chinatowns," "Simply Ming," "Real Simple," and "Everyday Food" are quite interesting, so I can't resist checking out these shows before handing them over.

invisible_r Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 And? hmm, I was thinking a mixture of starters so salad, grilled haloumi chesse, meatballs, maybe fava, generally very greek then as a main, as I rarely eat meat, I would go for something like stuffed tomatoes with rice or possibly a mousaka (again with the greek theme) I don't really cook desserts so I don't know about that, I could try and make halva, which is a semolina cake flavoured with cinnamon, but if I was playing it safe I would go for brownies or a fruit salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 hmm, I was thinking a mixture of starters so salad, grilled haloumi chesse, meatballs, maybe fava, generally very greek then as a main, as I rarely eat meat, I would go for something like stuffed tomatoes with rice or possibly a mousaka (again with the greek theme) I don't really cook desserts so I don't know about that, I could try and make halva, which is a semolina cake flavoured with cinnamon, but if I was playing it safe I would go for brownies or a fruit salad Mmmm, now that sounds good. I love a good mousaka and how do you prepare the fava beans? Oil and chopped scallions? Cooked until just soft enough to eat but not so soft that they leak through the skins? I've never had haloumi cheese. What's it similar to? Good idea, Kev. Hmm, what forum? I suggest that when giving a recipe you also recommend music to accompany the meal or to play while preparing the dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah , I'm serious , man ! Random thoughts likely . What say you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 fava is ridiculously easy to make, you just rinse them and boil them for an hour (I think) and about half way through I add some onions. then when its reduced considerably and its all soft you blend it, add oil, salt pepper and serve with some chopped onions on top. It's basically like a dip haloumi cheese is a cypriot cheese that is quite chewy and the benefit is that is stays solid while cooking so you can grill it like meat. it's delicious! i find it quite similar to paneer, if you've ever tried that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'll have to try the favas that way...almost like a hummus? I've never tried paneer either. Kev, as to the recipe thread...I say do it to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think I'm becoming a Dancing With the Stars fan. I also take guilty pleasure in Ghost Hunters, and pretty much any ghost show, and The Food Network, primarily Ace of Cakes and 30 Minute Meals.

Ombre Vivante Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 - Hoarders: morbid curiosity to see the dysfunctional and crazy lives of hoarders. - Buried Alive: same as Hoarders. - Packrats: same as Hoarders and Buried Alive, except it mainly focuses on crappy, weird, strange, interesting, and/or possibly valuable collections... AND they revel in their insane compulsion to collect. - American Pickers: like Antique Roadshow, except it's ON the road and they encounter crazy hoarders. - Pawn Stars: it's like Antique Roadshow, except people bring crazy s*** to a pawn store.
