for some reason my direct TV satellite will not pick up HGTV...😱 But I can get the food network...so I have been watching food shows all week. I have printed at least 40 recipes....:roll:
Last night I cooked Spicy Asian BBQ chicken with Asian style slaw and took it over to Newfiegirl's house...it was really good!

Tonight I am making Grilled Tilapia with mango habanero BBQ sauce and cumin-lime green beans.....I love being off for the summer...I get to cook all the funn foods that I print out all year!
I can't wait to be in SoWal for the summer....dinner parties!!!!!:clap:

Sounds DEE-LISH (don't know how to do that licking smiley that Audie has)!! I'm addicted to the food channel, but haven't tried anything Asian yet. Have you needed alot of specialty ingredients?

Mango, yummy. :wub:
I made Tilapia last night, but I cooked it with Chef Prudhommes Blackening magic, tossed it in angel hair with diced tomatoes, garlic, onions, mild peppers and a little olive oil. I hate Tilapia. :lie:
Enjoy!

Shoot!! RE: the thread is TV killing us....I grew up in the day when we only had 3 channels & it all came down to Lawrence Welk & Gunsmoke on Saturday nights and Bonanza on Sunday nights!! As kids, we thought Sunday nights were total "MAYHEM" :yikes: cuz we got to watch Bonanza on TV while EATING on TV TRAYS while we sipped our ONCE weekly allotted (soda) pop (Pepsi) ...guess on Sunday nights my Dad got to be a kid too...he's the only man I've ever known that thinks POPCORN is an damned entree!!! That's what we had for SUPPER on Sunday nights (does anyone else remember the country difference b'tween supper & dinner PLUS the winter / summer nuances???!!!

Whose recipes are they? They really sound excellent. Ina and Giada are my favorites on FN, BTW.

I've got to start watching Food Network to get my summer cookin' on now that I don't have to work until September. YEE-HAW! Got a Cuisinart Griddler for Mother's Day -- gotta take it out for a spin. Maybe last summer's chipotle chicken? Also, now I have time to pull out the big grill pan and do some grilled veggies and chicken. And then there's the stovetop smoker that we bought after attending a cooking class -- yum, the wood-smoking produces some intensely-flavored meats.

Tomorrow night I'm doing Beach Jacket's basil/tomato/pasta recipe with shrimp that we brought back from the beach on Sunday. Excellent!

Do anybody cook Indian??? I LOVE Indian food ... Although I'm really a dyed in the wool carnivore...ooo-whee!!.....Indian....the only cuisine I could ever fathom going vegetarian with....the effects of the dry roasted spices ....YuMMM.

I want to learn about Indian clay pot cooking...I figure when I get too old to actually get on a plane & go to New Delhi...maybe I'll just be able to conjure it up in my kitchen!!!

India and Italy....aside from America these are my 2 favorite places in the world (so far).😀

I do now because a close Indian friend taught me some things, and Indian food is one of my favs, but I don't cook it that often since it is VERY time consuming and yes, I could go strictly veggie if it was Indian food.

I could eat rice pudding day and night too.
Matter of fact, we always ate that first, and then if there was room, we ate dinner. :lol: and my girlfriend would make me a gallon or so for a partay and I would horde it and eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day or two, until of course, someone pointed it might be getting sour.

But it took me a long time before I got over my Indian food fear when a college roommate woke me up from a hangover with her cooking, and I stumbled into the kitchen knocking over things looking for a fire extinguisher because I thought the apt. was on fire! 😱
Then she invited me to her house to visit her family and they served me something I couldn't name, I couldn't swallow either, and then after about 15 minutes when they thought I would explode from the flames in my head, they threw a large dollop of yogurt over it to tone it down. :shock:

Depends on the province in India how spicy the food can get, and even my Indian friend said he couldn't eat dishes from certain provinces.

Planned on going to India with my girlfriend after visiting family in Holland, but we had to come back home unexpectedly, but was looking forward to going to Jaipur with her.

They are Emril's...Fish with Mango Habanero and the Asian Style Chicken BBQ....both from the same show

I have to say that Indian food is not my favorite...I prefer Thai for heat. In my experience (and it is limited I'll admit...I have only been to 2 Indian buffets) but the food all had the same taste, the same flavor and the same amount of heat. It all tasted bitter and very little flavor except heat. No nuiances of varing flavors at all....:( :idontno:

Don't know winter/summer, but north of DeFuniak the supper/dinner aspect of meal timing often comes into play. In ShallowsFuzz's grandparents' home, dinner was the big meal of the day, and it was served at noon. High noon. Always at noon. Even on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I am always open for rethinking my culinary opinions! 😀 It probably was the buffet syndrome..too much of the same thing...cooked in bulk! :blink:
