LOL Pringles!!!!! I agree. Can't stop eating them, never know why.
Pecan pie
Cheese. Love it. Does a glass of chablis or cabernet count?
My snack yesterday – leg of lamb (it is the season now). But does this being considered as snack LOL – for me it is :thinking:

Looks more like Christmas dinner!!
If that is just a snack for you, what do you do for a real meal? The whole lamb maybe?
LOL - the leg was big enough for two persons (3kg). But BBQ of a whole lamb is delicious – or maybe a little whale. Seriously, leg of lamb is one of my favourite foods, and a lot of garlic put into the meat while in the oven.

My mother used to make popovers, mmmmm, We would have them for breakfast with butter and honey, The darn butter and honey would dribble down your arms and I would always need to get cleaned up after I ate them.
I love lamb dinners! We used to raise our own sheep and ohhhhh, and I did here at this place before things hit the fan. Home grown lamb is just soooooooooo........gooooooooooooodddd!!!!! I slobbered all over my keyboard when I saw that picture of the nice dish with lamb and brussel sprouts.

10-07-2005, 09:50 PM
Mint sauce, works really nicely as well as mint jelly. Just put some finely chopped mint leaves and put them in vinigar. You can add a pinch of sugar if it is to tart, but mmmmmm is it good with lamb. I know what I am having for dinner tomorrow...lamb. I HAVE to remember to have my PCA take the lamb chops out....mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! Lets see, I can have some nice winter squash I grew this summer, and home grown potatoes....heck I better stay out of the food forum, our I will have to substute a derrick for a hoyer!

Garvey and Tweetybird – my fellow lamb lovers LOL
I also cook (like to prepare all kinds of food) and because of that there will be more lamb tomorrow, lamb chops here as well, have to vary just a little bit lol. I have heard about this mint jelly and mint sauce, never tried it (it’s not tradition here) but I will investigate into it. Is this common tradition in the US? - For the potatoes going with lamb I also like to make a ovenproof dish with sliced potatoes (don’t know the English word for the dish) and then add some garlic, salt, pepper and fill up the form with cream. When nearly finished just add some cheese on top and gratinate for a few minutes mmmmmmmm. I like the season we are going into, autumn and winter, it is the time for serious eating. The moose hunt also started here now, had a phone from my uncle yesterday, so far they got a big bull moose (over 300kg with meat), and he promised to hand me over some. But back to lamb again, we also have some long traditions with lamb dishes here, one popular dish Christmastime is “pinnekjott” - salted and dried ribs of mutton, soaked and steamed… Takes to long time to explain now and I will also end up filling this thread with lamb recipes – maybe we shall make a serious food thread?

Hey. Thanks for the link. I just did some searches on internet as well for mint sauce recipes – believe the taste will go along fine with the lamb. Going to try it.
Actually tomorrow the menu will be mutton and cabbage stew, Norwegian lamb stew. It is just decided – I will post pick’s LOL. But first I will have to have some Famous Grouse this evening, but that is another story…

this thread could be called Leif's "Science of the Lambs" !!
What about fish? Don't you eat a lot of fish in Norway, or is that a myth? I could give up meat any day and just eat fish, fish and more fish! I would eat sushi every week if only I could find it here.
More lamb - Norwegian lamb stew. And it is extreeeeemly good. And an extremely simple dish. I made a big pot because when reheated tomorrow it will be even better :)
Carbar:D I live by the coast, a couple of hundred meters from the sea. We have a place close to here where all the fishermen delivers there seafood, we buy our seafood directly from this place and they are open all weekdays. I like fish very much, we eat a lot of it and shellfish like crab an shrimps as well.
And you are right, fishery is our second biggest industry after oil...
One time I was in very nice place when it comes to seafood, - La Rocelle in your contry - holey moley.

My favorite thing to snack on would definitely be beef jerky. While I am mentioning it, I might as well advertise my company a little bit. The name of my company is the Pacific Coast Jerky Factory and we definitely have the best jerky on the market. Please take a look at my web site" www.pcjf.com "and place an online order. We currently offer seven different types of jerky in convenient 4 ounce packages. All orders will be shipped out the same day that they are placed and I guarantee that you will fall in love with our jerky.

Now I want to try some of those lamb dishes.
A cold crisp "pink lady" apple puts a smile on my face.

Thin mints.
Left over medium rare filet mignon from dinner cut into thin strips.
Now I'm really hungry.

Just saw a commercial on TV by Ocean Spray advertising "Craisins". They're like raisins but made from cranberries. I think raisins are naturally sweetened but Craisins have sugar added to make them a patatable treat.
If it's true that cranberry keeps bacteria from clinging to the bladder wall then these may be a healthy snack for us prone to UTIs.
I haven't tried them yet but I plan to.

they are very tasty, very readily available here, however too much sugar added.
i guess they are to tart without the sugar, i would prefer to eat then mixed with raisins to diminish the tartness than consume that extra sugar.
cranberry juice is also supposed to prevent tooth decay

Just have to sing the praises of Bisquick baking mix.
I just cooked dinner (I'm the one most interested in eating around here so I'm the cook by default) - chicken breasts (yes beavis - breasts!) coated with bisquick with salt, pepper and paprika - then baked - yum. I'm using this basic recipe ever since my daughter was little and chicken wings prepared this way (or deep fried) were her favarite food.
Of course, her other favorite was pancakes made with - yes - Bisquick.
And biscuits - real easy, just milk and Bisquick mixed and dropped on cookie sheet. Yeah!
It's uses are endless - and - it makes agreat temporary grout.

Craisins are good and cranberries are good for the bladder - urologist told me so. I find that cranberry capsules are easiest for bladder maintenance. Find them in the herbal section of drug store or supermarket.

post the mac & cheese recipe!!
Linda H.
03-07-2006, 07:40 PM
Shelly, ask and it shall be given.:D This comes from the "Cover and Bake" cookbook from Cook's Illustrated Don't be put off by the chicken broth in this recipe, you won't taste it at all! This mac & cheese is creamy and not grainy like many are. Once you have the macaroni cooked the rest of the recipe goes together quickly, you can do the shredding and prep the other ingredents while you wait for the water to boil, and the macaroni to cook. My husband had his doubts at first, but they were erased with his first mouthful.
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Topping
4 slices white sandwhich bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Macaroni & Cheese
Salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 1/2 cups whole milk
16 ounces colby cheese, shredded
8 ounces extra sharp chedder cheese, shredded
Ground black pepper
1. For theTopping; process the bread and melted butter in a food processer fitted with the steel blade until coarsely ground. Set aside and wipe out the processer bowl.
2. For the Mac. & Cheese
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position, and heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a dutch oven over high heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of salt and add the macaroni; cook until just al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain, and leave in the colander, set aside.
3. Wipe the pot dry. Add the butter and return to medium heat until melted. Add the garlic, mustard, and cayenne; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 1 minute.(I cook it for close to 4 minutes, i don't like to risk a raw flour taste) Slowly wisk in the chicken broth and milk; bring to a simmer and cook, whisking often, until large bubbles form on the surface and the mixture is thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Off the heat whisk in the colby and chedder gradually until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce and stir, breaking up any clumps, until well combined. Pour into a 9 by 13 inch baking dish (or a wide shallow baking dish of simular size) and sprinkle with the bread-crumb topping. Bake until golden brown, and bubbling around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serves 6 to 8
Want or need to make this ahead, assemble as directed but don't put the bread-crumbs on, cover and refrigerate. When you're ready to finish take out and bring to room temp. Preheat the oven as directed above, top with bread-crumbs and bake. The leftovers (if you have any) keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridg.

Sorry about that Garvey, didn't mean to cause a cardiac arrest. If you have to watch you lipid intake just have this for special occasions. I don't just eat this as a side dish, I serve it for a main course when having meatless meals. I'd much rather have the dairy fats in my diet(butter,etc), than those chemically altered vegetable oils. It's all a matter of moderation.
Shelly, your welcome. I hope you enjoy it.
