~ saffron rice pilaf - & Mediterranean sardines canned with harissa ~

A dab of sour cream on the side and it becomes the ultimate comfort food.

A dash of sour cream on the side and it becomes Russian

Actually, Polish people likely eat more sour cream than they do. Whatever the case, it's still good as a side dish.

Another scrambled egg idea. Add ricotta. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CleA2wuA ... MyMTA2M2Y=

Gave this brussel sprouts thing a try yesterday, gets a thumbs up from me.
Something different and pretty tasty. $5.99 bag of sprouts at Wegman's but
a $2.00 off coupon made 'em tempting...things are the size of a small cabbage.
Quartering them works like a champ. Laura will show you how to do it (her voice
makes me a little crazy but she's a good cook). I did put the rosemary in it.

Love it.

Eat them at least 2-3x a week. We always so them in cast iron, on stove top, much the same way. With mods each time.

1. Add fresh parm or mozz
2. Drizzle balsamic glaze or honey on them
3. add bacon, pancetta, or prosciutto.
4. Sprinkle in leftover steak, pork, or chicken as an entire meal.

My daughter LOVES these things.....a little oil and salt, and that's it. They're tasty, no question.

That's what I call real comfort food.

This is a must try for you, youth, you can be a super hero dad for a day too, a fan.
Brussel sprouts on pizza? Just crazy good. Did all the same stuff with the sprouts, figured
that would have to be good on pizza and I wasn't wrong. Ton of flavor going on there,
really, really good.
Not burnt, you know those sprouts outer skins/leaves get crispy black.
(cook the sprouts 'n stuff before putting on pizza)

^top it off with a few Bacos and you've got a meal fit for a King*




*in case you missed it, King's County is Brooklyn's official name ~ anyone from God's Country being a King along with his Queen

There's actually a pretty decent amount of bacon in there already, just can't see it.

I love sprouts. I do em in my cast iron pan all the time. All I use is butter, salt and pepper some grated Parm and I love using speck. Crisp up the speck and you have added a ton of flavor. Actually when you render the speck down you don't even need the butter. Sauted onion is also a great addition.

Interesting....would have never considered that.

My kids got me an air-fryer for xmas, would have never considered purchasing one. Made sprouts a couple times tinkering with the timing. Found out sprouts taste damned good extra crisply, damned near completely burnt, as if they where thrown under a broiler until almost blackened. Drizzled some honey and another splash of olive oil over them before serving and it was a nice change.

Thanks!

Ten bucks for a five pound bag of wings at Aldi....count me in.
Just to let you know, those might be the best Chinese wings
ever made. Good day for 'em, snowy day in the Cuse.

^ yum, that pic looks edible

If there's a better tasting fresh water fish than walleye I want to taste it. Just had a fillet and was reminded very quickly how good it is. Son gave me a few fillets this summer, I've never caught one (have done quite a bit of fishing too, seem to be more around than there used to be) but he and his buddies catch them fairly regularly. Seasoned it up with salt, pepper and a little dill, did the flour, egg, flour coating, fried it (gotta say to perfection) in shallow oil, drizzled on the lemon. Walleye is really outstanding!!

Are you forgetting about Walleye?

That's more for the folks up north (here it's called "out state"). The yokels only use salt & pepper to season it. As a side dish they use wild rice or French fries. Good to see that they have finally learned to use fresh lemon on the side for added flavoring.

In NY folks use garlic-lemon-basil-oregano seasoning mixes along with lemon and melted butter to give seafood real flavor. Unfortunately, fresh water fish does not have the same flavor as seafood as folks here don't know what real seafood is. Several times people have nearly puked or laughed at the thought of me munching on seaweed. In their limited minds only people from the planet Mars do so.

So yes, walleye is a comfort food in these parts. But Swedish meatballs remain number 1.

Yep. I used to go to a place called Tavern on Grand in Minneapolis, that had great Walleye.

Hadn't heard that TOG had a branch in Minneapolis. Well that's me ~ always behind the times. The one in St Paul has always had a good reputation for walleye as their fare is well seasoned and very fresh.
