Tim Hortons Comes to New York

Tim Horton's is overrated. The donuts have a manufactured-ness to them. They are not GREAT donuts. I mean it's hard to find a donut that you don't like but there's better.

The coffee? I don't get it. Oh and the food - bleck!

But that's just me.

Seafood Cannelloni

I was going to use fresh pasta. should I do crepes? never had them as a cannalloni, but it does sound great. any good crepe recipes then?

From Talk

Seafood Cannelloni

I agree. But what do I do with the filling?

From Talk

Spaghetti

First and foremost: Red Wine!

a nice crisp simple salad with a fresh vinegar dressing (more on the vinegary side).

caesar salad with homemade garlic, parsley & parm. croutons, capers & add a dash of tobasco in the dressing.

Grilled/BBQ Chicken done simply. Like s&p or lemon/garlic/rosemary.

obviously: bread. Maybe switch it up with a nice warm dinner roll and butter instead of the usual culprits of garlic bread or focaccia

From Talk

Leftover Spareribs

I agree with @beth1 - leftover ribs - what's that about!

depending on the rub/sauce you could try the meat in a pasta dish.

Garlic Scapes

Chicken Stock Help

yes it should be find. you will be cooking it more when simmering the stock so that will kill off any of the bad guys!

or another option if you are worried is too roast the carcass for a while and then make the stock, this will deepen the flavor of the stock!

Swiss Chard Ideas

oh and @amandarama: I really want to get into polenta, but still haven't - tried it a few times and wasn't a fan, but I think I may have not had GOOD polenta. So, if you have any tips I'll try that too. Sounds rich.


From Talk

Swiss Chard Ideas

everything sounds wonderful. thanks guys.

I think I'll definately do the wedding soup & lasagna - something to freeze.

last night I sauteed some with spinach from the garden, fresh oregeno, a chili, garlic, olives, a pinch of nutmeg & salt & pepper. Then tossed with rigatoni & ricotta. It was really good and fresh.

like replacing the spinach in the ricotta? did you use only the leaves?

Grilled Halibut Recipes

I have made this recipe lots and for company. Always raved about and super easy! I've done them on the stove and the bbq (gas) - both worked.

Blackened Halibut With Mango Salsa

Also, a nice recipe is sprinkle your halibut with fresh thyme, pepper and salt then wrap in prosciutto. I have only baked this though, but I'm sure it'd be great on the bbq.
