Re: Basic Recipes Needed

Forgive me for not posting any updates recently, I've been incredibly busy. Michel is doing wonderfully and has mastered steak (this took a while), pie crust (this also took a while), and venison pie. She is currently working on chicken pie and the ones that she's past the past 2 days were both perfect. If she makes a perfect one today, we'll either move on to another meat pie or bread (which might take a while).

I'm glad to hear the news. I mailed to you a copy of my personal recipes I use often. As for bread, are you making Ezekiel bread? I sure hope so, that's the only type allowed in my household, besides the godly white bread from Walmart.

Re: Basic Recipes Needed

Indeed Mr. Etheldreda has been Born Again! His Salvation was some time ago, following a very lengthy and intense prayer session after Brother Deaner prayed for Mr. Etheldreda to suffer from painful pus filled sores until he recognized the pain and suffering he had been putting Jesus through all those years by neglecting to fear and obey Him. I'm happy to say I have been thoroughly blessed by the Holy Spirit ever since.

Praise Jesus! "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." Luke 15:7. Sister, I mailed along a golden plaque I had done in honor of the news that states "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15.

Your Sister in Christ,
Elizabeth

You mean, Mrs. Etheldreda, God has answered all our prayers that your husband is finally a strong, Jesus-filled man who no longer fears teaching his lovely wife her place with a firm backhand or black eye? Praise the Lord! "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." Ephesians 5:22

Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Johnson

Re: Basic Recipes Needed

Some of these recipes seem complicated for a beginner. I would like to add a couple more of my favorites and these really go well together:

Get some spaghetti and boil it for about thirty minutes or even an hour. Then open up a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce and pour it on the spaghetti. Pour the water out of the noodles before you put the sauce in.

Also you might want some antipasti. That is an Italian word. I think it means "some other stuff". Try this:

Get a can of bean dip and pull the top off. Then use some corn tortilla chips or Fritos or even potato chips to eat the dip with. It is especially elegant to put the chips in a bowl, but that isn't really necessary.

Enjoy!

...I started reading the Bible at Genesis, now I am at Exodus 19:16. So far no bad words about squids.

Soon, young pastawan. The answers you seek are in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

So you are finally reading your Bible? Perhaps there is hope for you. Praise God!

If I served something like that on a plate before Mr. Etheldreda, I'd be sporting a colorful "love-correction" over my left eye.

Re: Basic Recipes Needed

I just finished a bicycle trip to Northern Spain. With a bike and gear weighing just over 40 kg (80 Lbs), climbing those hills works up a serious appetite. Fortunately the food was good, lots of fish and other seafood. I recommend eating out in Spain, especially since you don´t need to make concessions where cost is involved.

Anyway: One particular seafood got my interest, a seafood I never really gave a thought: The sepia or squid. This is quite a tasty creature, somehow it has never never caught my attention. How wrong could I have been. With this newly found knowledge I went to the fish guy at the market. He appreciated my interest in his squids and was really helpful to help me on my way to clean the little critters and make them into a nice dish. Cleaning these critters is pretty easy. The recipe I stole from Cato, you need:

8 small squid
2 onions, diced
1 shallot, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 ounces of bacon
1 tablespoon of Panko
1 can of tomato puree
A handful of chopped parsley
A tablespoon of your favourite herbs
A bit of fish fond
A glass of red wine
some dried tomatoes

The recipe:

Clean the squids. Sauté one onion, add the bacon, shallot, garlic and some dried tomatoes (see previous recipe). When done: Put in a bowl. Add panko and parsley, mix and stuff the cleaned squids with this mixture.

Put the pan back on the stove, and sauté the other onion. Add any remaining stuffing, some more chopped up dried tomatoes, the tomato puree and a tablespoon of your favourite herbs. Stir-fry for ~3 minutes and then add the red wine, fish fond, stuffed squid and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve over pasta and enjoy!

Ewww! Squid sounds disgusting. Is it even acceptable for True Christians™ to eat? Even if it is, I still wouldn't touch it.

You prefer to believe some hellbound Anglicans instead of trusting Jesus?

Re: Basic Recipes Needed

Apparently most chefs are still male (link). Besides, I really like cooking (and eating). Washing the dishes is not one of my favourites but I still have to do it since my cooking results in massive amounts of dirty dishes.



I think cooking a good meal (and eating it) is one of the greatest things!

Today the fish guy at the market had these shiny fishes:



I bought four of them and had them make fillets of them. This is quite a tasty fish so it can be combined with stronger tastes. The recipe:

Cut a pound of cherry tomatoes in half, toss them in a bowl with some Italian herbs to your liking, two teaspoons of powdered sugar and half a cup of olive oil. Transfer them to a baking dish and put them in the oven at 100º C (210º F) to dry. This takes about 2,5 hours. Let them cool and set apart.

Cut some potatoes up in wedges, put them in a baking tray with some garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper and oil and put them in the oven at 175º C (350º F) for 40 minutes or until done. Using a sharp knife, slightly cut the skin of the fish, this prevents the fillets from curling. Gently fry in a bit of cleared butter.

Put some light mixed salad on a plate, add some dried tomatoes and put the fish on top. Drizzle the remaining butter over the salad and serve with the potato wedges.

Leftover dried tomatoes will keep good for a week in the refrigerator.

Tell me that at least that you don't cook for your woman(?)...give them an inch and they'll take a mile. If you don't watch out, before you know it, she(?) will have you bent over a barrel shoveling the coals to you

Personally, I'd rather starve to death than offend Christ by preparing a meal for myself!

Did you read a thing Sister Basilissa or I said to you? Pay attention to our lessons; we are trying to prevent you from Hellfire! Are you really going to spit in two ladies' faces?

Re: Basic Recipes Needed

No, because the Bible does not say that Jesus took the fish and prepared/cooked it. Jesus is the Son of God, why would be He involved in something so mundane? Speaking of logic - it actually dictates that Jesus created the fire with the fish and bread already on it - therefore, He probably created that fish-meal already without scales, fishbones, and guts (sorta like the kind of fish-meal that can be observed on fish sandwiches - the square fish variety, but Jesus fish-meal probably was more fishy).

I found this recipe:

They get ashore and find a charcoal fire burning – a BBQ breakfast of fish and bread, and the chef is Jesus. That’s right, the Risen Jesus, the Son of God, is the doing the Master Chef thing. He shares the fish and bread around
