What's for Dinner: Too damn hot to cook edition

[JR]

Slappy, as I tell HC, I'll make liver that will FOREVER make you forget you don't like it.

I've also got some great kidney recipes. :)

I'm sure it will live forever, yes....
Kidney, liver.. why dont you just make haggis and simplify things,.... puree of innards in a stomach... now that there's some good eatin!

Sorry, I like "variety meats"

Liver, kidneys, sweetbreads, beef heart, tongue, and, sorry to say, brain.

Best feed of all: chicken gizzards, hearts & liver, sauteed and finished off with some nice red wine.

Awesome stuff.

Nothing goes to waste in your house, that's certain

I was going to cook, but **** that.

I'm taking the girl out for sushi.

And then I'm taking the woman I love to the backseat of my car. And I won't be back for TEN MINUTES!

Is that a line from Married ... With Children? I can see Al hang his arm around Peg and shout it. But it might just be in my head.

Black and Bleu Salad from Quiznos. Mmmmm.

Simpsons... when Marge carries Homer from the Nuclear Plant

You can always spot the furriners, and the poser foodie wannabes, by their love of eating internal organs.
Had a bag of popcorn for dinner, but a couple of nights ago I hollowed out a giant tomato, mashed its guts with a can of tuna, artichokes hearts and a little of the oil they were packed in.
It was quite tasty and generated not a degree of heat.
I stole the idea from that link to the NYTimes, that was posted earlier, but had made the rounds of a foodie site I hang out at.

One of the earlier season episodes too (maybe season 2, but can't remember for sure right now).

It's the one with Jacque the bowler. I used to work with someone that had that taped that part of the episode on their answering machine.

People have been eating "variety meats" long before the foodies latched on to it, called it "head to tail" cooking and think they invented it.

I'd rather have liver and onions than this.

Slow cooker turkey and stuffing going now... left over Mac and Cheese for lunch... keeping it cool, fo real, word

Stuffing is such a winter food, no?

Slow cookers are great.

Turkey. Yum.....

I can't believe liver is being discussed. Sorry, JR, that stuff just doesn't fly. I have had quite a few times and that stuff is just nasty. I will also add that I have eaten lots and lots of "weird" **** in my life which includes cow's heart shish kabob (mmm, Peruvian food), pig's intestine, duck belly as a cold snack and cow's stomach as in the lining. Liver is just disgusting.

Now, back to warm weather food...
My wife has this nice dish that works well. You cook spaghetti (since it is the closest most places can get to Chinese noodles). Then cool that off. Mix together peanut butter and sesame oil so that it is still a bit creamy and thick. This is then mixed with the cold spaghetti. If you have any, drop some sesame seeds on the top and eat it cold.

I don't know what it is called but it is a great dish on a warm day.

I think I'm in the minority here about liver.

Beef heart is the perfect slow cooker food. It's also great cold as a sandwich.

I will try anything once and enjoy all kinds of food that can be considered strange.

But I don't do liver, either. If you could divorce the taste from the odor, maybe, but the taste is nothing that special to me and the smell... Ugh.

But if it makes you happy, JR, good on ya.

Pastor --

I've made that, or something similar, and if you want to make it completely no cook you can substitute Thai rice noodles -- the kind you would use to make pad thai. These only need to soak in hot tap water for 10 minutes or so. And you can get them at almost any grocery store now.

Great late-night after-bar meal.

And you go right ahead and enjoy it...

It was at a recent Peruvian Festival in the area that I grabbed cow heart. It had a special marinated topping and was quite good.

Sounds good. I haven't had it like that, but it seems worth a shot.

Ok, last post about liver.

First, calf's liver is the best--doesn't have the strong taste that beef liver or even baby beef liver has.

Second, soak it in milk for about half hour or so.

Third, cook it until it's pink. The reason most people hate liver is because it's cooked until it has the texture of shoe leather.

All this way and no shots about fava beans and a nice chianti... impressive
