Keep on top of that Cilantro, unless you also like/need coriander.

[mortlock]

i need the cilantro to spread like wild fire.

[Muffin Man]

I heard about coriander on an Indian chicken dish cooking show. Must have. A German rye bread, most excellently dense bread with coriander seed component. Must do. And thanks.


I don't recall liking cilantro all that much so if the leaves go to seed, then no harm no foul.

[mortlock]

when it comes to cilantro you either like it or you dont. no middle ground.

[RAGER]

Oh man coriander is another one of my favorite things. I go through a bunch or two of the leaves (cilantro) a week and the seeds are amazing in several different ways.

Anybody have the cursed gene that makes it taste like soap?

[RAGER]

I feel for you and others like you.

[Muffin Man]

RAGER, that crushed ends asparagus is the bees-knees, works like a boss. Man, all my terrible asparagus ends problems is over! Thanks. Crushed, blanched, finished in the steak pan. Delish

[RAGER]

Amp that looks good.

Raw asparagus salad. I don't have a real recipe.

Slice your pencil asparagus about a 1/4 " thick put in bowl
Add finely diced red onion (1/8")
Add some olive oil, red wine vinegar, and grated pecorino
Season with salt and crushed red pepper. Let sit about an hour.

Make it cheesy or vinegary or oily. Whichever. I like a nice balance of all without it being too dry.

[Muffin Man]

Sounds good, I'll make that!

Nope.

I'm cooking a "kitchen sink", whatever I had in the frig, chicken dish. It's smelling gooood. Called for chicken stock but none on hand so, peri-peri rub and curry powder mashup.


Yikes, it tastes restaurant quality 

Chicken thighs peri-peri rub, curry powder in hominy can juice, cabbage, onion, celery, hominy, bacon bits, carrot, honey, liquid smoke, artichoke heart, pre cooked asparagus, boxed rice (overly salty), tumeric, etc

No hot dogs in the fridge?

[Muffin Man]

oooh, I do have one left! (more in the freezer). Just as well, kinda dog'd out today.

[RAGER]

Portland finally has an H Mart. I can't wait to go.

[Muffin Man]

Cool. Let us know any must-haves. I forgot about those, never been, but there are two that I can get to, 20 min drive. I'll for sure be getting the fish sauce and various kimchi

[Lumpy]

Portland finally has an H Mart. I can't wait to go.

Fuck yes. I went to the original H Mart in Queens recently (and need to go back soon). Open 24 hours! Kind of small and worn out, but they have everything I want (kimchee by the bucket, prepared foods, frozen fish bits, Korean BBQ sauce etc).

Ham n cheese in sourdough cranberry, bbq dip. Jalapeno chips

[mortlock]

cranberry bbq sounds gross af.

[Muffin Man]

oops, sourdough/cranberry bread. Straight up spicy bbq!
the cranberries are kinda sweet, goes great with the smoked ham (Kentucky brand). It works!

[mortlock]

dont mind me. im a moron sometimes.

[Muffin Man]

Nah. But I would like to try cranberry bbq - to me that sounds A-OK

[mortlock]

now that i think about it, im thinking it might be pretty good. i love cranberry but im more of a dry rub guy than bbq sauce. might be good though..id try it.
