Did somebody say Chciken Paprikash?

[Sqwertz]

I was toying around with the idea of cacciatore, stroganoff, or
paprikash. It turned out to be the later.

I added some red wine because I think it needed "something". If I
just added some mushrooms, the,it would have been
cacciatore-stroganoff-paprikash - Next time!

do you use hungarian paprika? i don't think i do. i use a no name brand. don't now the country of origin, but it's quite good. i used to use the szegedi brand, but it's very expensive. there is a difference in paprikas though. i once purchased lebanese paprika, and it was horrible.

Interesting. Until I came to RFC, I always thought that paprika
basically had no taste at all and only used it a cute topping
occasionally. It *was* always from a grocery store though and
probably very old and had lost it's taste.

That looked quite nice, I must say.
That dish would make about 3-4 meals for Jill. ;)

[A Moose in Love]

it's a good dish. it's also very tasty without the sour cream.

[penm...@aol.com]

Looks like two servings for a normal person; two chicken legs, one
chicken breast should have been halved, and a heap of wide egg noodles
swimming in gravy, enough for two.

Looks tastey but should have been a larger dish, then it wouldn't look
like so much... as it is that dish is so overfilled that it's about to
spill over... actually can't tell whether it's a plate or a bowl. If
I lived alone like the dwarf I'd eat from the pot and save having to
wash a dish. lol

Looks good. Maybe it's the type of paprika used but mine turns out way more orange. This is the recipe I used in the restaurant when I made it for a lunch special.

Yes it looks good and yes, it would be 3-4 meals for me. I don't know
why you chide me for not having a huge appetite.

Looks good!

May be a way to get rid of some paprika, I've had waaaay
too long (still smells OK).

I'll hafta buy a "real" chicken, too. Not one of those CFO places.

paprika gets old and tasteless pretty quick. throw out your old stuff and get some fresh if you are gong to make this dish.

Depends on how stored. I buy in bulk sizes and keep them in my
freezer with small bottles in the pantry filled for daily use. Frozen
spices and herbs will keep well for several years. Also as much as
possible I buy whole spices.

[A Moose in Love]

i purchase mine in a resealable bag. it only lasts for max. 3 weeks before i need some more. i keep it in the fridge. however the freezer sounds like a good idea.

[Gary]

Just teasing. If anything, I should be jealous that you eat so
little and remain happy. A small meal is just an appetizer to me.

[jmcquown]

We definitely eat differently. I eat only as much as will fill me up.
It doesn't take much. What is appropriate for your body is not the same
as mine.

Why do you find different portion preferences so hard to believe?

[cshenk]

You know, the guys at work laugh sometimes at my portions but they stop
when they discuss the weight gain issues and the aches and pains of age
(we are all pretty much 60's).

Slowly they are shifting a little bit. A smaller first plate at the
buffet (all you can eat, $9.29, not fancy but decent for the price).

We all go back for seconds but I start with a smaller plate then get
the most tasty items for my seconds. My 3rd plate is always frest cut
fruit and sometimes a dibble of something from the salad bar.

[Hank Rogers]

My grandfather used to raise pigs many years ago. If you watch them,
they act much like humans. Some push the others away from the
trough, etc. But you have to watch them long enough to figure out a
particular sow's psyche.

Some animals can never get enough, others eat until they are
satiated. Just like humans, some stop eating when full, others eat
much more.

Then there is age. As we age, our caloric intake that we need drops.
Some continue gobbling up everything in sight. Some continue eating
only what they need.

Jill, I shouldn't have to tell you what this means. My daddy told me
long ago that some "EAT TO LIVE" while some "LIVE TO EAT"

Exactly. That's why my comments are (again) just teasing.
I also only eat enough to fill me up but our bodies are
different.

If I ate like you, I would lose weight steadily and eventually
die. No comparison of caloric needs between two different
people.

> Why do you find different portion preferences so hard to believe?

I don't. YOU are just fun to pick on occasionally since you like
to pick on others occasionally. :)

In general, men are larger, have more muscle mass and often more
active. There are exceptions, naturally. Our daily calorie
requirements, just to maintain energy and weight, are often
higher.

Serious marathon runners can need 5000 calories a day or more
just to stay the same weight.

It all depends on your lifestyle.

Yes, I did realise that:) I was just joking:)

Yes, it really does!

[cshenk]

True.

Generally men burn more calories off than women due to natural muscle
amounts being higher.

In the end though it's all the same. A person who is overweight, is
eating more than they burn off. Pretty simple stuff.

[jmcquown]

I don't know about you but I'm sure they're each larger than I am! :)

It's two small legs and a thigh with backbone, dumbass. They were
chicken quarters and that's about $1's worth there ($.75/lb). And
those are medium egg noodles.

You say you eat a whole chicken and you call that two meals?

-sw

[A Moose in Love]

That's cheap for chicken legs. The cheapest here that I've seen was $0.88 per pound CDN. That price only comes around maybe once per year. Legs usually go for $1.88 if you're lucky. That's a common sales price.
