That's another thing I abhor about fast food mystery meat
burgers, they're much too thin... mine are what the olde tyme diners
called a "ground steak"... I much prefer them to actual steaks with
all their bones, excessive fat and gristle... often when you order a
steak its about half inedible, and you need to be a brain surgeon to
filet it.

Tsk...you have not lived until you've had the Owl Cafe's green chile
cheese fries, oh well..

https://www.yelp.com/menu/owl-bar-and-cafe-san-antonio/item/chile-cheese-fries

5.0 star rating 2/9/2017
"Every time I travel through New Mexico to Albuquerque or Santa Fe it is
imperative that I make a stop at the Owl Bar. It has a lot of nostalgia
being a little bar/restaurant in a small town. You will find it pretty
quickly after exiting off of the San Antonio Exit 139.

I honestly don't remember the first time I cam to this place. I just
know my mom heard of it and that they had amazing green chile
cheeseburgers and that we had to stop. I'm so happy we did because after
that it became a tradition while traveling.

I checked in twice once on the way to Santa Fe and another on my way
back to El Paso but my review will hold up for both experiences. Upon
entering my family and I immediately found a table and also brought
along a first timer. Immediately we were greeted by our waitress for our
drink order. The entire family had water but my friend/first timer
ordered a beer. Have to admit it came out in the coolest little bottle,
definitely caught my eye because I have never seen it before.

We ordered four green chile cheeseburgers and two orders of green chili
cheese fries and one regular order of fries. Now let me tell you this is
the kind of burgers I would make at home. It is not giant in size but it
is perfect to fill up your appetite and I have had some pretty big
burgers. Upon taking a bite to eat I just found the perfect blend of
seasoning, cheese melting in my mouth, and the green chile adding the
perfect kick for my burger. I wonder where they get their green chili
because the green chili I had in Santa Fe just sucked. So I'm surprised
that the green chile here at the Owl Bar is so good. They obviously have
the right supplier. The green chile cheese fries are also pretty simple,
you have fries on the bottom, melted cheese, and then green chile on the
top. It's the perfect blend in my opinion. Once you take your first bite
you just cannot stop.

Owl Bar continues to be one of my favorite places to grab a green chile
cheeseburger in New Mexico. I'm actually surprised by some of these
reviews but I think Owl Bar represents a great burger and I will
continue to come back."

I switch back and forth with onions on hamburgers.
They ALL need to have onions but sometimes some
fried onions and even mushrooms are a good topping.

But I also use fresh, crisp and sharp raw onions
probably most of the time, rather than cooked.

Dinner tonight is 2 burgers with a few fried mushrooms
and raw red onion on the bun. Along with mayo, mustard,
ketchup, tomato. Lettuce too but I don't have any.
Also missing is some swiss cheese. good stuff for a burger.

Anyway...the burgers and a bit of homemade fries. Only
ingredients there is potato and salt and pepper, cooked in canola
oil. Bruce should approve except maybe for the fried food part.
oh well.

I like Heinz Red on meat loaf and on corned beef hash.
Watching someone eat a hotdog with ketchup gives me the shivers.
Growing up one of my friend's mom would serve fried balogna sandwiches
for lunch with yellow mustard, yik! The fried bologna didn't bother
me, it was that yellow mustard, would have been fine with brown
mustard. I don't like lurid yellow mustard [period]

I'd never heard of Freddy's but their site says there are locations
in my state. Nearest one is 42 miles away and I'm hoping to go car
shopping in late December. One of the dealerships is located there
so I might get to try a Freddy's.

We always had plain old yellow mustard when I was growing up so it
doesn't bother me. I was grown and out on my own before I knew

We always had plain old yellow mustard when I was a kid. It seemed like
the thing to do because that's what everyone did. I always used it
sparingly because I wasn't all that crazy about it. Some time ago I
discovered grainy mustard, and I use a lot more mustard now than I ever
did with the plain old prepared.


I did find one good, simple recipe that uses plain old mustard. Mix
up equal parts of that and cream. Dip scallops into that mixture, roll
them in bread crumbs and stick them on skewers and then broil them until
golden brown on both sides. It's not often that such a simple recipe
tastes so good.

There's nothing wrong with yellow mustard. Yoose guys don't like it because it's popular. If a hillbilly made mustard, it would that that coarse, unrefined, products that you see in those funny jars. Yoose guys are saps.

That's not the original Long Island Ground Round, the original has
been out of business some 30 years, they used to grind in front of
you. The new Ground Rounds are selling the same mystery meat as other
restaurants. Any mystery meat from the stupidmarket that says chuck
it's mostly scraps, trimmings, and other cuts that didn't sell prior
to the pull date. Once ground no one can tell what/who is in it.
According to that web site there is no longer a Ground Round on Long
Island.
Top round makes excellent burgers... and it's simple to add extra fat
if one desires, however top round normally contains a 10% fat which is
what I want. Chuck contains way too much fat for a good burger.
Stupidmarkets grind a blend of various cuts and guestimate the fat to
lean ratio. When I know I'll be grinding I choose top round with more
fat cap... sometimes I'll coat the meat with some olive oil, lubes teh
grinding for a better grind and saves on cholesterol... sometimes I
grind in the fat trimmings from pork chops, that's exactly what I did
yesterday with the trimmings from the six pork chops I bought... crows
missed out. Occasionally when I think the top round is too lean I'll
grind in a small chuck roast... however pure chuck is way too fatty
for decent burgers, I'd need to trim out at least 20% in fat... the
crows would have a field day. I never grind less than five pounds but
usually more.... I'm not going through the procedure and clean up for
two burgers.
Occasionally I'll grind chuck fillets, but not easy to find and at a
decent price and they still contain excessive fat for my taste. No
way are restaurants grinding chuck fillets... neither market meat
departments. The last time I found chuck fillets at a good price was
in 2008.

As per usual there is no way to know what/who is in preground mystery
meat, ONLY way is to grind it yourself.

No, nothing wrong with plain yellow mustard at all. On some things it's
better than a spicy or coarse mustard. Whereas a spicy or coarse mustard
is better on some things than a plain mustard. It all just depends on
what it's being slathered on; too much of either one is not good, at
least to me it's not.

Thinly spread plain yellow mustard on lightly toasted bread with two
breakfast sausage patties in between is larruping.

Yellow mustard ain't pantywaist or any other derogatory term you care to throw at it. It's just a yellow condiment. That's like saying ketchup is careless or rude.

People perceive things in the most unusual manner. Yellow mustard is a highly refined product. That gritty stuff is the one that looks like it was made by cavemen/hillbillies hitting two stones together. People think they're so classy and sophisticated by eating this stuff. Let me tell you, just believing that this condiment means something about your character/lifestyle means you ain't so classy and definitely not sophisticated. Larruping indeed.

Can you believe the ingredients of McDonalds hot mustard sauce?

Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Distilled Vinegar, Soybean Oil,
Mustard Seed, Salt, Spices, Egg yolks, Modified Food Starch, turmeric,
Paprika, Xanthan Gum, Annatto Extract, Caramel Color, Sodium Benzoate
(Preservative), Spice Extractives, Calcium Disodium EDTA (to Protect
Flavor).

I think it's really cool that they go through all this trouble to get
the flavour right for the sheeple and then they go the extra mile by
protecting the flavor!

Hey, he's been doing it for years so we all should, too! When I grind
beef for burgers I grind chuck.

I have ground a sirloin steak. IMHO sirloin is too lean to make a good
hamburger. I likely won't do it again any time soon. I still have two
sirloin burgers in the freezer. :(

I've never ground top (or bottom) round. Then again, I don't eat much
in the way of ground meat. <shrug>

All I see is a couple of Ziplock bags containing raw burgers. I often
buy meat in quantities that I separate into smaller servings in Ziplock
freezer bags. How do we know *he* ground those burgers? Hmmmm? LOL

I prefer grinding chuck for burgers or meatloaf. It definitely makes
them jucier. However. I prefer grinding sirloin when making meat
sauce or chili. Less fat in the sirloin means more meat in anything
your cooking the meat in.

When I make meat sauce (for spaghetti) I buy Italian sausage made from
ground pork. I can't think of the last time I used ground beef to make
meat sauce.

My mother used ground beef for chili but then again, she also used
canned tomato soup and water and a packet of "chili seasoning" and
thought it was good. LOL

My mother's was similar. She used a can of tomato soup with a can of
water and a small can of tomato paste with a can of water. She did
add diced onion and diced geen pepper along with chili powder.

Not so much mustard please. This morning I had a McDonald's Local Deluxe Breakfast. It has 3 pieces of Portuguese sausage and 2 pieces of Spam. I must have been hungry because I ate one piece of Spam. I'm not a fan of Spam but that piece tasted pretty good. It tasted like kalua pork i.e., pork with a slight smokey taste.

Regular chili powder is not particularly hot and is used more for
flavor than for heat. Although some chili powders are hotter and
will be labeled as such. It's the other spices and hot pepper
components that many folks add to their chili that make their chili
hot. Cayenne pepper is extremely hot, as are many fresh chilies.

Usually when Americans say "chili powder" they mean a seasoned mix of ground
capsicums such as ancho (which is not very hot, but probably would seem
so to you), perhaps cayenne, and herbs and spices such as oregano, cumin,
and perhaps onion powder.

When they mean "powdered hot capsicums", the nomenclature varies wildly.
"Cayenne pepper" usually means powdered rather than fresh. Chile powder
(with an "e") is fairly common. "Hot pepper powder". The
grocery-store "standard" powdered hot pepper is cayenne. If people mean
some specific variety, they'll usually say so.

The "chili" my mother made was very bland. She used a packet of dried
seasoning called "chili seasoning mix". It likely contained some
unspecified ground dried peppers (but they weren't hot), paprika (not
hot), cumin, onion, garlic, maybe some dried oregano. Her "chili" was
pretty darn bland. :)

Those small cans of meatless hotdog chili that I have mentioned
aren't hot at all. They're even good to heat up in a bowl for
"eating chili," forget the hotdogs. I've done that.

And.... the ONLY time I make cornbread is when I eat chili. It
goes so good with that but nothing else imo.

http://the-american-catholic.com/2016/11/21/if-you-voted-for-trump-penzeys-spices-dont-want-your-business/

My bride, among her other abilities, is a first rate cook. She received
this e-mail from Penzeys Spices:
And the results are in from Friday’s Racism Update Email. You may
remember this email was us re-sending our previous day’s email. In it we
kindly asked those who chose to cast their vote for an openly racist
candidate for the President of the United States to take responsibility
for their action. With the re-send we put the UNSUBSCRIBE BUTTON right
up on top for those needing to use it. We also hoped they would one day
come back. The final results are that 0.721% of those on our email list
chose to opt-out. 99.27% of you are still here. As I said Tuesday, I
love cooks. You are amazing people.

I also want to thank you for the tremendous support from all our
customers across the country. The incredibly written emails to me, the
support on our Facebook page, the defense of Penzeys in comment sections
across the internet—all of it has meant so incredibly much to me. After
so many of the far-right media world encouraged their supporters to send
their anger at me, I have to admit that I really had never been so
insulted in all my life, and I have a history of getting out there on
the internet. Without your incredible outpouring of support, I am sure
the results for me would have been very different. I am forever in your
debt. Thank you.
My bride sent an e-mail in response:
I deleted both the Thursday and Friday emails from Penzeys Spices. It
is none of Penzeys’s business who any of its customers choose to vote
for, or what the customers’ positions may be on any of the manifold
social issues Penzeys’ owners seem to be so passionate about. I
currently am trying to use up my current stock of spices in the cupboard
(both Penzeys and other brands), and therefore have not needed to order
from Penzeys in a long time. I would feel happier about ordering from
Penzeys in the future, however, if Penzeys would keep it all about the
spices and our shared love of cooking, and not insist on pushing the
owners’ political and social views upon the customers.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Catherine A. McClarey

Red Fascists run their businesses like Red Fascists. Bill Penzey, Jr. ,
the CEO of Penzey Spices, is about to learn a valuable lesson in
insulting half the country as a result of a personal snit fit about his
preferred candidate losing an election.

https://commonsensewonder.blogspot.com/2015/04/penzeys-spice-boss-true-left-wing-loon.html


Last year, Charlie Sykes wrote about it for AM Radio, WTMJ – Bill
Penzey’s Idea Of Diversity: Lots of White People in Volkswagens:
We know that the owner of Penzey’s Spices is concerned about diversity,
because he says he does… repeatedly. Make that obsessively. In recent
company catalogues that purport to sell spices, Penzey has lashed out at
white racist suburbanites who vote for racist Republicans. He knows
that they are racists, because of the lack of “diversity.”
In the last year, Bill Penzey has offered letters denouncing the use of
Indian mascots at Mukwonago High School and bizarre letter in May that
denigrated the citizens of Waukesha for their ‘different way of
thinking” and “race-based politics.”
Now, Penzey had doubled down:
Segregation is no longer some grim-faced governor standing on the steps
of the Capitol shouting, “Segregation now-tomorrow-forever!” Segregation
today has grown into a multi-step process. It starts with the new, more
polished leaders who, with a smile, send ever-so-subtle messages that
America is a whites-first nation. Next, AM radio personalities turn that
smile to a sneer and pass it on to their listeners, who turn that sneer
into anger. That anger does an amazing job of producing lopsided vote
totals in places with little diversity, but it’s poison to everything
that is good in our lives and a roadblock across the path of Kindness
that leads to cooking.
Well, speaking of little diversity, local blogger Tom McMahon decided to
take a deeper look at Penzey-land. He emails:
Bill Penzey mentioned “places with little diversity” in his firm’s
Summer of Love 2014 catalog. But I went through all 64 pages of that
catalog and could not find a single photo of an African-American in the
whole thing. Sure, I found lots and lots of photos of white folks doing
white people stuff, but no African-Americans. Why? Is he afraid they
might scare off his lily-white clientele?

I don't get it either. OTOH, sauce made with mayo, tobiko, and Sriracha i.e., dynamite sauce, has taken the poke and sushi world by storm. The younger generation just loves the stuff.

Yeah those are some beautifully done eggs, no kidding.

Speaking of which, have you seen Christopher Kimball's scrambled eggs
done in smoking hot olive oil?

Supposedly the food science wins out and you get perfect velvety eggs.

Cibo Matto means "Crazy Food." The video is run alongside itself with the right part being played backwards. Where it meets in the middle it says "You killed me." At the end, it says "Sugar Water", the name of the song. Beats the heck out of me what it all means but I like that video.

Hey, don't you know everyone wants that much rice with breakfast?!

I'd like to know what makes the sausage "Portuguese"? They look like
pretty much any pre-formed sausage patties.

That was in Hawaii. McDonald's has different menus all over the US and
indeed, all over the world. You wouldn't expect to find lobster rolls
on the menu at McDonald's in the Rockies. You can find them on the menu
at some McD's in New England in the summer.

Christopher Nolan is a most interesting director. I have seen most of his films, except his latest - Dunkirk.

I'm not into olive oil - it reminds me of turpentine. OTOH, ghee would work just fine. I have cooked eggs at high heat in a wok. The Asians typically like their eggs well done. I like to use medium heat on a non-stick pan with butter or ghee.

It needs the right aromatic playmate, like lamb or garlic or rosemary.

Just not buying it with eggs yet.

Great instruction video.

I would think that soybean oil and eggs is a happy marriage.

Sorry, I don't keep olive oil in the house so I won't be trying
this method. I have a hard time believing that the o.o. won't
impart flavor. It sure did the one time I added it to brownies
when I had run out of my regular neutral oil. Nasty, nasty!!!

I did try it after watching his show and I liked the result. I didn't taste
any off flavors at all, but I like olive oil better than butter with a lot
of things so I might not be the best person to judge.

That would be the oil of choice in you know where. My point was that frying eggs at high temperatures is nothing new. It's just that way the Chinese fry eggs. This looks like a nice dish but I have a hard time with overcooking eggs.

The Japanese are meticulous with their preparation of eggs.

I do too, in fact that's what baffles me about the olive oil recipe.

I would never have though to use bonito stock, mirin, etc.

I also have never see the square pan and oil routine - this is totally
new to me.

The resultant block...well...I just prefer my eggs less confined, if you
will.

That is mental.

But I have to say sure, why the heck not?

You've got lovely loose curds, fried rice _and_ gravy!

Thanks for that, bookmarked and in the rotation after I try the evoo
based eggs.

Your links really take this group where it needs to be.

That's not true of all Asians, my experience at Chinese resturants
says they like their eggs barely threatened by heat... often they'll
add beaten raw egg to a dish just off the heat and allow the hot food
to do the cooking, stir frys and soups. The Chinese love gelatinous
foods and prefer eggs gelatinous as well.

Why are you wasting our time with stupid YouTube videos... she's not
even Chinese, not with the name Concita and brown skin.. and with her
sloppy/slow motion cleaver technique she's no Martin Yan.

Knock it off with the BS... there are plenty of neutral flavored olive
oils... the EVOO oil I buy from Walmart imparts no flavor. All you
are saying is that you don't/can't cook.

I've posted nearly 70 photos of stuff that I've cooked. How many have you posted?

I'll have to start re-posting the photos for the benefit of folks that can't keep an idea in their spongy brainpans for more than 24 hours. The way I figure it, most other people are sick of seeing pictures of my foods. However, if you insist, here's a couple from July 2016:
