I found an interesting pizza recipe that I am going to make tonight....Gorgonzola and grape pizza with fontina cheese as well. :drool: :drool:
It is made on a stone...so hopefully it will have some brick oven qualities.

OMG... salivationgalore... please forward all recipe details NOW>>>:shock:

Ok Tootsie, Take them filets and covered with sea salt and black pepper.Pan fry in a little olive oil on med/high heat to brown both sides quickly. Actually need a pan you can then put in the oven at around 350. For about 20 -30 min depending on how well you want them through. Less than 20 I suppose if you like them bloody.
Potatoes- I did new potatoes in olive oil with fresh rosemary and again same pan into oven.Salt and pepper.
Beans- Jessifunn version Snap and Steamed
take the steaks out when done put aside and add couple ounces of good red(Cab/Merlot something with body) to the bits left over in the pan on high heat on Stovetop.REMEMBER THE PAN CAME OUT OF THE OVEN AN IS HOT,OVEN MITS RECOMMENDED !!!!
Add chopped portobellos,salt,pepper,a little A-1 and heavy cream into pan. Cook a couple minutes till its bubbly. Put mix in a blender.
Added blue cheese on top of steaks and sauce in a small bowl to dip in but you can put on top if you like. Good Luck.

Allifunn....I have a recipe for shrimp and grits that I badgered out of a chef at a restaurant in Wilmington, NC. I haven't tried it on my guests as yet because I am concerned that people making reservations at my Inn hear my accent and are afraid that I will try to force grits on 'em. I think if I make this recipe and just don't mention that grits are in the ingredients, they may like it.
BTW....is "grits" singular or plural? Do you say, "Grits is on the menu" or Grits are on the menu." I have never been able to figure that out......
jpreus, Alli makes a pretty mean shrimp and grits herself. I missed breakfast at the Washaway that morning, but I got to eat them later, and they were still yummy! I looked it up for you, grits is a plural noun, but it can be used with either a singular or plural verb. :roll:No help at all! Sorry.
P.S. Alli--loved your menu from last night! :drool:
Johnrudy, where is the Ted's? Might have to give it a try on our next trip.
Can someone tell me how to multiquote?!?!? :bang:

Ours has just opened and it's located on the busiest street next to the largest mall in the NW suburbs. And with prices like you mentioned, it will stay in business for a couple of years.


Brats! now that sounds like an idea for the soiree... great fall food!!! :clap_1: a wisconsin friend showed us the technique years ago.. better than a burger, IMO.

It is located on Meachum Rd., directly west of Woodfield Mall (& I-90/94) and just south off Golf Rd. I believe it's right next door to Weber Grill and Chicago Prime Steakhouse ($$$$). The main shopping node with Ikea, etc.

Merman flew to Berlin yesterday and called me this morning from Pottsdam to say that he'd just finished off a "Berliner" bratwurst with sauerkraut and a big beer--it was only 9 am here, but the description made my mouth water...it's perfect beer and brats weather here in the Midwest!:razz:

My husband adores brats. I've said this in another thread, but his family in WI was so into brats that they'd get their butcher to make custom brats for them with various combinations of meats and spices (Sheboygan brats, beef brats, etc.).

We like the pre-cooked Johnsonville brats that are frozen and in a bag. We nuke 'em if we want a really quick meal and grill them if we want the casing to be less chewy. Add some chopped Vidalias and mustard - yum.

We had brats at a party recently as I mentioned in another thread. Near their main house, the hosts have a steakhouse -- literally a house devoted just to grilling with a grill, and electric cooktop, and a giant granite island with bar stools. The brats were yummy! We had too much funn that night!

Have you ever done shrimp and grits? It has tasso in it too...and I have found a way to make a casserole using the ingredients...more like a souffle'

Oh, tasso grits??? how did you prepare it?

Orzo is my new favorite food. I have a few recipes, and they are just delicious, and so easy.

Tasso and grits? Are you willing to share the recipe? Sounds yummmmmmmmy

Here is my trial recipe...welcome to suggestions or other ideas...Ali's casserole sounds good as well.

I had two servings of cooked grits....just the recipe on the box.
Saute tasso for a few minutes to heat. Added a little while wine to deglaze the pan. Slowly added about 1/2 cup of cream and cooked till it thicken, then added the grits. Salt and pepper to taste.


Below is a good sounding recipe from Emeril...cannot go wring when adding white cheddar cheese IMO. I would decrease the amounts to make less.

Creamy Stone Ground Grits:
5 cups water
5 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups stone ground white grits
1 pound grated white Cheddar
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, combine the water, milk, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Bring the liquid to a gentle boil. Stir in the grits. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. (The grits will stick to the bottom of the pan, so make sure not to scrape the bottom of the pan. If the grits absorbed all of the water, add some hot water to thin out.) Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cheese. The grits can either be served immediately or prepared in advance and reheated.

IWIWT....Add some cream cheese and you are in business!!!
I make my grits...then make my shrimp sauce...add the two together...whip egg whites until they are stiff...fold them into the grits...gently place the mixture into a well greased, deep casserole dish...bake for 20-30 minutes...comes out perfect...and stays fluffy for a long time...the grits don't get hard...Jpreus...your guests will LOVE this! Money back guarontee...whooo wheee!😀

Got it--can almost picture it, in fact! Maybe we can share a meal there sometime in the next couple of months.

Thanks for asking this Pea!

Y'all have made me hungry. Here is my secret recipe:

Cut a piece of harvest grain bread
Get a piece of cheese out of the fridge
Pour a glass of wine

Sit down and wait for the new show, Brothers and Sisters, with Calista Flockhart and Sally Fields....and try to stay awake!

You have just planned my dinner. Thanks for posting. Tonight the only thing that would make it easier would be if I could get it pre-chewed. I am a tired puppy. :sleeping:
