....is receiving a box of fresh veggies from her!!
If you'll remember, I won the contest regarding the age of a certain table a few weeks ago. The prize was dinner with Mart. Weeeelllll.....sinc e she's in Texas, and we're in Missouri, the logistics were a bit much. She did, however, promise some veggies as a consolation, and imagine our delight when a box appeared on the ghopper doorstep.
She was as good as her word (really, would you expect anything else?) and MsGhopper is jumping up and down with glee. She used to have a big garden of her own, and recognizes quality goods.
So, tomorrow we'll hoist a fork in Mart's honor.
THANKS MART!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
too funny!!
good of you mart
-
Did they arrive in edible condition ?? That's all I could think of that didn`t need refrigeration !! Then thinking about the USPS,,,, well you know how they are !! And since Ghopper isn`t a tomato person,, he got new potatoes !! Hope they are OK !! Mailing veggies is stressful !! I could imagine them arriving as tomato juice !!
-
Great story! Congrats to Mr. & Ms. Ghopper for their nice win! ;D Take a picture before you eat them. This is why I love this place!

I probably have a version of all those except the sorbet !! I need things I can make and can !! I have already made all the obvious, picante sauce (twice) regular stewed, spaghetti/marinara sauce/ketchup,, next I guess will be BBQ sauce !!
Going to try the pie with corn !! That's my kind of cooking !!

74degF here and its too hot....s,pose to be 64 tomorrow......finge rs crossed....
-
I do the green tomato relish or caddo relish last,, !! Decided against the tomato preserves since it tasted same as ketchup and had the same seasonings in it,, so I threw more tomatoes in,,added a few peppers and turned it into spicy ketchup !! Had it last night over salmon croquets and my cream style corn,, sliced tomatoes on the side !!
-
I make a mean corn chowda!! (being from Massachusetts of course) :D

Pickled Red Tomatoes?

I grew up eating Hot Pickled Chow Chow (green tomato relish).
Roasted Corn Salsa! (I make this and eat it immediately but not reason it can't be made and put up!)

One more thing we used to make and can. We always loved to eat Sloppy Joes. So we would go ahead and make the sauce and put it up in jars. Then later in year simply brown the meat and pour it on!

This is a Sloppy Joe! Ground Beef in a slightly sweet tomato based sauce that just oozes out when you hold it and eat it!!!
-
In my area a Tomato Pie is what they used to call a pizza and a Sloppy Joe is a Kosher sandwich made with three layers of rye bread, corned beef, turkey and pastrami with Russian dressing and coleslaw, usually ordered as a party platter.
-
Wow! I expected big differences between countries....but not between states and/or the North and the South! :)
-
The bar is Vics in Bradley Beach NJ and has looked like that since the 1950s. They make an incredibly thin and tasty pizza. In the summer on weekends you can wait an hour for a table. The sandwiches are from a Kosher deli in Linden NJ which I have never been to. Do you know what a chocolate egg cream is? Or a black and white soda? How about a hard roll?

Chocolate egg cream New York city soda fountains during the 1920s 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, 1/2 cup cold milk, 2/3 cup cold carbonated water
Pour chocolate syrup into chilled large glass. Gently stir in milk. Holding the carbonated water about 5 inches from the top of the glass, slowly pour into the glass until a thick foam comes to the top of the glass.

over here that,s called a ....mince roll........
-
Frogpatch heard of all of them. But, Wendy177, there's no egg in egg cream? I always assumed it was like old fashioned ice cream that had egg in it. What is the Black n White then? Pink?
Wullie, I had heard of Scottish Mince Pie (different from the mincemeat pie we eat here in the US)...but not on a bun!
Thanks for the chowda' recipe.

there might not be an egg in egg cream.....but what have you got to say about a cream egg....and here is our mince roll, ..which was copied by you guys and called a sloppy joe...
-
Nope KC no egg in a chocolate Egg cream :D A black and white soda is 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, 2/3 cup cold carbonated water this makes up the black soda and a scoop of vanilla ice cream is the white. Enjoy the chowda
-
Wonder what egg-head thought of putting egg in a title of a food that contains no egg! LOLOL :)
That Black & White sounds kind of like an Italian soda.
I like the one my son drinks. Although I usually am not a big Dr. Pepper fan (don't shoot me, I know Dr. Pepper is BIG in Texas and Louisiana). You take 1/8 cup cream, 1/8 cup vanilla syrup, crushed ice and a Dr. Pepper. It is actually tasty.
Hey Mart, I am sure you have served Fried Skillet Corn being in the south. Bacon drippings in your cast iron skillet, fresh corn off the cobb, pepper and if you are like us...a little jalapeno! YUUUUMMMMMM!!!!

if this is a sample of what you eat.....i would,nt want to be using the loo..after you..... ;D
-
Wimp !!! ;D

-
Wow Bigwull Hide one Mannequin and let the loo empty into one wall after construction and ya never live it down!! ;) But we Love ya!!
Southern Fired corn looks fab is that all to the recipe?
-
Just pokin' fun. Amazing what we remember about each other after long times on this site! :)
This is a simple southern recipe. Add anything else you want to with it. You can add diced red pepper, minced garlic.
If you want to make it "Mexican Style" you simply saute some chopped onion and chopped green chilies. Toss in the corn and cook a little longer. Remove it from the heat and add a chunk of cream cheese and let it melt in and add salt and pepper to taste.
-
It is Amazing KC what we remember about each other after long times on this site!! And we all poke fun at each other That's what makes it so much fun!! Mex style sounds so good soon as I get some fresh corn this is going in my skillet!!
-
And crumble that cooked bacon over the top that you fried to get the drippings !!
-
My southern (slightly South of Seattle) version of the S'rn fried corn dish is :
Prepare tempura batter with a pinch of salt & pepper & several generous pinches of dry wasabi & chill .
Remove the husks from fresh corn-on-the-cob , wash well , cut into 1/3 rds & let 'em get up to room temp .
Dip corn into batter & gently set (on end) into hot oil & cook for about 3 min.
Serve with soy or tamari sauce .
-
Well that's one I wouldn`t have thought about !! Sounds good though !! Do you make your tempura batter with flour, cornstarch or both ??
-
I use both rice & all-purpose (or cake flour) flour together , mart .
No cornstarch in my tempura !
I'll sometimes stick bamboo skewers firmly into the end (core) of the little suckers , if tasked with a big crowd ... makes the in & outta the oil handy .

That sounds fascinating fancypants. We have southern corn fritters here...which is way more labor intensive!
-
They're pretty good & the kids & the kids kids like them alot .
I call 'em cobsicles (when on a skewer) !

here,s a favourite of mine, and Avril.....
http://www.bavariankitchen.com/sides/knoedel.aspx
-
Yum! Love German food. My mom lived in Germany many years and was taught by the village ladies!!! Trying to think what she calls this...it is different. When I think of German dumplings/noodles I think of spaetzle with Rouladen and green peppercorn sauce!!!! YYYUUUMMM!
-
once or twice a week,we have Bratwurst mit brotchen...fur fruhstuck....yummy. ...
-
I'll have to try making knodel. We call them knadle .
-
here,s another favourite....i make these usually about 3/4 times a year....i fill mine with cheese /potato,or sauerkraut....and it looks like Pittsburgh..must be populated with Poles and Ukrainians,
http://pittsburgh.about.com/od/recipes/r/pierogies.htm
-
I love pierogies! Yummie!
-
i was brought up on them and borscht...my father made them often...thinking back..it seemed like every week,...he usually made around 75/100 at a time....after he,d boiled them,he,d fry onions and speck....to make pork crispies...then we,d have them with the onions and pork crispies poured over...and he also used to make his own brawn...he,d buy a pigs head....and boil it in a gigantic cast iron pot,..then after he,d strained it, he,d pick off the meat and pour the gloop into ashets..and add the meat..then when it was set, he,d slice it and sprinkle malt vinegar over it....We have a German supermarket appox 200 yds from the house,and they sell ready made pierogies....in fact i,ve got some in our feezer....that i think i,ll have later today.....
-
Beef Borscht. It's very good. I have made it several times.
-
We call that head cheese and they put the vinegar in it !! Tastes like pickled pigs feet !!
-
Can't say I've had that mart. :) Is it good?
-
Actually it is very good !! You can buy it at a supermarket deli !! Its the stuff with the little white edge around it !!
