    Since Snowmageddon starts tomorrow morning, making some stuffed pepper soup for the weekend.

    Super good, super easy. 

    Grew up eating a lot of cabbage rolls and stuffed peppers. My mom would put chopped chicken livers in the beef/rice mixture that would send them over the top.

    My Bride made  stuffed pepper soup yesterday. Great with garlic bread & beer. Just picked up some Old Leghumper (Thirsty Dog Brewing) & Conway's Irish Ale (Great Lakes Brewing).

  • I learned of my new game day coffee.

    No more drippy coffee makers.

    Make Cowboy Coffee.

    about a quart of water in a pan, let the water warm up good, add 1/4 cup of your favorite coffee,

    and rolling boil it up for a few minutes.

    The grounds settle on the bottom, after a few minutes - or Kent Rollins

    says you can pour just a bit of cold water around the top edge...

    it's amazing. That is why I have missed the old perc coffee makers.

    Next auction/garage sale item to find - old stainless steel perc coffee pot.

    I make stuffed green peppers from time to time, but I'm not familiar with stuffed pepper soup. How do you do that?

    Bill, there are many various recipes online. Just brown the beef, chop the peppers, and throw it in the crockpot with your other ingredients. I like food a good bit spicier than Colleen does, so I grind black peppercorns in it & maybe add some hot sauce after I fill my bowl.

  • This is as good as soup gets!! (my "tweeks" are in bold). I got this recipe from the Ohio Game Fishing website:

    Here is one of my favorite cold weather recipes. It feeds 6 people.

    1.5 pds. mild or hot italian sausage (I always use 1/2 mild & 1/2 hot & I prefer Giant Eagle's)
    3-4 cups beef broth (I use beef STOCK & always add up to 32 oz more if soup gets too thick)
    1 (28oz) can crushed or pureed tomatoes
    1 onion chopped
    1 large carrot chopped
    1 square package frozen chopped spinach
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    salt and pepper to taste (I ONLY use fresh cracked pepper)
    1 package frozen CHEESE tortellini

    Remove sausage from casing and brown, break it up. Drain sausage and transfer to pot. add remaining ingredients to pot, EXCEPT TORTELLINI!!!! slow boil or simmer for at least 45min-1hr, until vegetables are tender. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will get. (I cook this in a crockpot on low, that's why the extra beef stock).
    5-10 min before serving, place tortellini in pot.
    Tips##
    Make sure you buy CHEESE tortellini

    Beware, addiction is possible.

    Down here we call that beef and sausage chili podnah. Just throw out the cheese and add chili pepper powder.??

  • Anyone play around with lobster Mac and cheese, or shrimp lobster Mac and cheese? It took me a bit to actually try it. The name doesn’t suggest 5 star but once it finally hit my taste buds, I’m hooked. I double dawg dare you to try it!

    Today's football fair will be fresh cut raw veggies - green & red peppers, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, sweet petite carrots and a small bowl of light dill dip to go with them.

    Drinking fair will be a Bottle of 2016 Juan Gil Silver Label Jumilla (Spanish red wine) as recommended by hoorta. If I like it I will stock up because @ $11.70 a bottle  with my vet's cash discount it may be the steal that hoorta described to me. I trust his judgement of red wines for sure.

  • Cheap frozen pepperoni pizza doctored up with extra sauce, cheese, some bacon, and canadian bacon, (hey it's around 10 degrees here Dayton way) but finished off with a 2011 Columbia Crest Cabernet Reserve that was heavily discounted from $50 down to $20..  Us guys on retirement income are always on the lookout for bargains...

    I have only had it out to eat. Seems to me tho that you would just take your favorite Mac and cheese and stir in a bit of lobster meat. I bet crab would be good too. One place is serving a fish sandwich with a scoop of lobster mac and cheese on it. Now that’s some good stuff Maynard

  • Normally this is done over coals but I opted for the easy (lazy) route. 

    I had seven beef back rib bones that got a couple coats of olive oil and rub. I foiled them and left them in a 250° degree oven for five hours, then broiled to get a crust.

    My only complaint about beef ribs is the amount of flesh. The first two ribs on the shoulder end are nice and meaty. Towards the short loin end, they cut them a little slim...there's so much meat on the prime rib roast a butcher can spare a little less for the roast and more for the ribs.

    Basically, you are correct.  It's best to boil your own lobster, then use the water you boiled the lobster in to boil your pasta.  Otherwise, just tossing some lobster meat in the mac and cheese is somewhat bland.  It tastes like mac and cheese with some lobster in it.

    Don't toss that lobster water down the drain.  Reserve it after cooking to use if you need to thin out the dish a bit.

    I hear using the shells imparts a lot of flavor too. 

  • No doubt.  After you peel the meat, toss the shells back in to the water to cook the pasta.   I should have added that earlier.

  • If I want bug meat (lobster) I'll eat it (never).
