Oh absolutely cut it down. Just use a food processor though. When have I ever steered you wrong? :D

You absolutely could - toum existed long before the Cuisinart - but I would recommend a food processor for speed, texture and consistency (in the dish itself, not as a texture).

If you’re going to be experimenting with proportions, I can’t recommend tens of minutes of furious whisking only to find out that your dish…

I had a feeling, but I had to do a quick search. The copycat recipe that calls itself “Zankou Garlic Sauce” is a sort of spin off of the Greek skordalia. It’s more of a dip/spread than a sauce, but it’s the only thing I can think of close to that a Mediterranean restaurant would serve. All Mediterranean cuisine was…

Leb here! Can confirm, this stuff is delicious. This recipe (which is perfect, btw) makes a good amount of toum, so if you’re nervous.. cut it in half.

And as tempting as it might be, don’t try this with roasted garlic. I tried a long time ago, when I was a wee line cook and thought it was a good idea, but the dishes…

I have nothing to add here, other than that I was going to be super mad if that link wasn’t Jenna Maroney’s dance-pop/techno hybrid single ft. Ghostface Killa PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST

mfw when i come back to a post a day later and see that i didn’t delete a word

I was going to say, why can’t I just use soda and cherry juice? Cheerwine lists ingredients as

I do like (my) typically less expensive S60 R, but this is still a good car at a good price. I picked mine up for $5800 with 90k on it, and immediately addressed the angle gear issues.. which easily puts at/above the S70 in price.

Though I’d be concerned about the mileage and the turbo - I would buy this car in a…

I hope so. I did like AoS, but I couldn’t handle the price point. I switched to a safety razor and tried so many different blades before deciding it wasn’t worth the time it took to get the exact same shave. Dorco prices aren’t much better than DSC, but if I can continue to get their blades I’ll probably stay that…

I think a lot remains to be seen with DSC. Because of the acquired acquisition by Unilever, I expect their model of re-selling Dorco blades at a cheap price to fade away within the next 6 months.

The thing I like about DSC - and the only reason I use them - is that I might use 2 blades in 2 months. My girlfriend goes…

Torch had a good post about this on Jalopnik yesterday! I just don’t think bagel dough is a good idea because it can be tough, and lead to tearing/spillage.

Yo, Fryman.

THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GNATS

With the amount of time I spent seeding 4lbs of screaming hot female eggplants, it had better make someone’s day!

Tonight I’m Frankensteining a dish which can best be summed up as “plantains o’brien rellano”, because Miss Lady won’t be home and it sounds good in my head. Basically some boiled/food mill’d plantains,…

So as much as this would have been useful last night when I was roasting a dozen red bells and 2 massive globe eggplants for ajvar, it does have me thinking: what are the differences between roasted/unpeeled and peeled/sauteed?

The roasted in skin will develop flavors within the pepper due to the steam inside of them…

With gusto.

The higher melting point of halloumi, as Claire (and anyone with good sense) points out here makes it ideal for direct heat cooking. Cheeses with lower melting points such as American, Provolone and Swiss are better suited for indirect heat cooking and melting - casseroles, stuffing (cordon bleu) and…

Ahem.

In the literal translation of the word to “cheese sandwich”, yeah - this is a quesadilla. But a taco is as much a sandwich as a hot dog on a bun is, and halloumi is a hell of a lot more than just shredded cheese “produkt” that you’re buying at Wal-Mart with a coupon.
