Hamburgers!

I love them, but now you know I don't make them very often.

Hubby bought 80% preground burger meat from the stupid market and a
ciabatta loaf (not ciabatta the rolls I asked for). I was surprised
by the 80%, but he said 93% was over $6 a pound (+he's getting over
his fear of fat). I cooked them on the flat side of my indoor grill
(because the other side is a PITA to clean). They developed a great
crust and there was hardly any fat to clean up... an experience that
was light years away from the pan cooked burgers swimming in grease of
my childhood.

Mmmm!

What did you eat tonight?

I haven't eaten yet. Not really hungry. Perhaps a tostada.

I watch Cook's country and chicken parm. was featured recently. I
appreciate the Bowtie's aversion to sogginess. Yes, that's right, you
don't have to pour your red sauce all over those nice crispy breaded
breasts like they do in restaurants. Used panko as the show suggested.
I have the America's Test Kitchen "Italian Classics" book and sort of
followed their recipe, without the brining. I just salted the damn
things and let them sit for 10 minutes or so. Faux brining. Also sliced
the breasts in half lengthwise so they'd be thin enough to cook through
without burning the crust. You only give them about 3 minutes per side.
Served with spaghetti and steamed broccoli.

That's something I never think about doing. Radishes are one of those
things I've only eaten raw and I've never known anyone who talked
about it if they ate cooked radishes. Wondering what culture cooking
it comes from? There seem to be plenty of recipes on the internet.

I like to slice them and saute them in a bit of butter, it does take any
bite out of them.

That night (last night) I had a vegetarian pasta meal.

I fried up several vegetables...tomatoes, fresh corn, onions in a pan
with garlic and olive oil. Added basil, oregano, hot pepper flakes,
parmesan and romano cheese (yeah...the dried combo in a jar) and some
dried seasoned bread crumbs. I tossed that into 8oz of cooked
linguini with a bit more EVOO and it was to die for.

The amount was a bit overkill for just me alone so I have plenty of
leftovers. I had a later snack of it last night. Right now I'm cooking
a chicken brest and will dice up the meat and add it to what I cooked
yesterday.

I like many vegetarian meals but meat alway make them taste better to
me.

Lamb and kale, new potatoes... nom nom.

Pretty simple meal here night here -

I made a cauliflower and broccoli soup (only a small amount of
broccoli that needed using up). Main was a couple of Dorper lamb
cutlets, mashed new potatoes, onions, steamed peas and carrots with
some gravy saved from my last lamb roast.

Oh! That'll be good alright.

I'll be roasting a chicken tonight, haven't thought what else beyond
that at this stage. Hope to make soup from the leftovers though.

Winter seems to have finally arrived here (frozen pipes), so it's time
for soups and stews, yay

Roasted radishes? That's different. I can't even imagine what they
would taste like, interesting...

The flavor changes completely, IMO. I really didn't care for them when I
tried roasting them once, though I love them raw.

I never did care for red radishes and would probably never buy them. I
did prepare the salad for my parents every night at dinner time when I
was a teen. They liked raw red radishes in their salad. They liked
both the "bite" (I'd call it sharpness) and the crunch.

They didn't eat the green tops. My parents weren't big on greens. Dad
considered greens to be food poor people ate. He picked dandylion
greens for his mother to cook during the Depression. That sort of put
him off "greens" for his lifetime. Me, I love turnip greens. Collards
are good, too, if they're cooked right. Sauteed spinach? You betcha!
But still maybe not radishes. LOL

I love them raw too, but now you have me curious because you said the
flavor changes. I may put a few in to roast when I'm roasting
something else, just to taste and see what I think. If I like it,
I'll dig up a recipe that includes the leaves and give it a try.

I am craving radishes! I hope that my mom wants to go to the taqueria
tomorrow. They have the most mild radish slices on the condiment bar. I
like to dip them in salsa and refried beans. My mom dips in guac.

I too am curious but I like a lot of veggies raw that I don't like cooked.
When I did the roasted grapes they certainly did take on a different flavor.
Very deep and sweet but still very moist so not at all like a raisin.

Nice, I should make chips - I never do for some unknown reason.

I also do like coleslaw as well, but I'm a bit picky with coleslaw.
I seem to either really like it or dislike it - some people just seem
to know how to make it right and some don't.

Me - I've never made coleslaw so I don't know which category I belong
to yet

I'll have to throw some radish seeds in the garden this spring and try
roasting them.

Well, if it is any help, I just use white cabbage, onion, red pepper (all
sliced) and carrots, (grated) I then add cider vinegar and mayo!

We like it well enough)

And I just did (plant some seeds). Just sprinkle them around other
plants, cover with a bit of soil, then water. I'll get some radishes
soon if the squirrels don't dig them up. I've always grown radishes
even though I rarely eat many. The plants are fast growing and make
for good ground cover to keep moisture in the soil for the larger
plants. I'll try roasting some next month.

I have a bunch of radish plants growing, too. I think I'll
thin them out, if nothing else, I don't need dozens of radishes.
For now they are just keeping the tomatoes and peppers company
until they grow up.

In addition to "normal" coleslaw like Ophelia makes, I often make a
red coleslaw. It has sliced red cabbage, finely julienned beets, and
sliced red onion. The dressing is orange juice, orange zest, grated
ginger, honey, and oil.

It's very pretty!

I just bought some store-made coleslaw from Food Lion this weekend.
It's a local grocery store here. Anyway, this coleslaw is the best
I've ever tried. I'll buy it from now on rather than make my own. I
think it's similar to your recipe above, Ophy. :-D

Radishes used to be hot and spicy. They bred the heat out of them. I liked them when they were hot.

I like a hot pickled slaw. Heat up oil and vinegar and herbs such as bay leaf. Pour over sliced cabbage. I like mustard and celery seed in there.
I'm currently watching Jaws2. I really like Roy Scheider. He was a boxer. He was brilliant in Marathon Man. And of course his best role was in 'All That Jazz'. Absolutely outstanding. One of the best actors ever. Robert Shaw was at his peak in 'Jaws'. Beautiful.

I meant to thin them out, then I found it was a little late
for that.

That was my salad for the day. Radish and salt.

Everything's been behind this year, spring was late.

I really didn't expect radishes already. That was fast.
Guess I'd better put in a second planting, see what happens.
