After last night’s cheesy, meaty decadence I was craving vegetables and something lighter.
And since we missed Spicy Sunday — I give you Thai Tuesday: coconut red curry with snow peas, mung beans sprouts, red & orange peppers, and shrimp.
I seasoned the oil with a massive nub of smashed up ginger that needed to go and TPSTOG, 8 (!) chopped up bird peppers & very finely chopped lime leaves. Added a can of Maesri red curry paste, a can of coconut milk, the veg, and finally the shrimp.
A splash of Red Boat fish sauce & lime juice to taste, garnished with cilantro and served it all over rice. Came out really nice
The line is the Rocky Mountains, not the Mississippi.
When Best Foods acquired the Hellmann’s brand, it decided to keep the respective recipes for both mayonnaises. However, at least as recently as June 2003, the recipes were almost identical. From the company’s FAQs at the time:
The products are basically the same. Both trademarks evolved simultaneously – Hellmann’s in the East and Best Foods in the West. Taste preferences vary; some people find that Best Foods mayonnaise is slightly more tangy.
Looks/sounds good to me especially over toasted sourdough. Wonder how many people have bad memories of Chicken a la King out of the can when they were kids. The recipe calls for either sherry or white wine. I figure you probably used white wine but sherry would add a little Newburgish flavor to the sauce which is not necessarily a bad thing. Just wondering.
I can’t remember what I was googling when the recipe for Chicken à la King popped up. I don’t remember if I have ever had it before, canned or not. I thought it was good, I used oyster mushrooms and a red mini bell and yes I think it would have been better with sherry, but I had none.
Chicken Cutlets with Anchovy-Garlic Butter. I used a blsl thigh and the sauce was too salty so I added a splash of cream. Yellow summer squash and leek au gratin, I used gouda in and parm on. Salad of mixed greens, red onion, garbanzo beans, Gold Nuggets, avocado, pesto vinaigrette.
This is me, it’s the hill I’m willing to die on. Hellmann’s and also Kewpie have a slight rancid taste to me. Duke’s taste exactly like Best Foods but I don’t like the texture.
Grilled tuna tostadas with grilled corn, avo, lime, mayo, ponzu, cukes, cilantro, sesame, salsa macha, etc. Grilled zucchini and seared chicken of the wood mushrooms with haricots, miso butter, and mirin.
