I make a mean hardy (and really spicy) meat sauce that will have you licking your monitors. Next time I make it, I will post pics. Also, my pasta is very al dente. Perfectly cooked.

looks good, but I thought you weren't able to eat ordinary pasta?

 

[jarosh]

who says that's ordinary pasta?

[OnkelC]

dang. thought of semitransparent rice pasta.

Corn pasta? How does that taste? Why can't you have regular pasta? Do you have a wheat allergy?

Corn pasta? How does that taste? Why can't you have regular pasta? Do you have a wheat allergy?

tastes fantastic (although it does depend on the brand; and the one i used in my salad and just posted is not the best but one of the cheaper ones).

there's virtually no difference between good dried corn pasta and dried wheat pasta. without sauce it tastes a tiny bit sweeter and slightly more flavorful. there's a negligible difference in bite, too, but it's so marginal, i shouldn't even be mentioning it. it is, however, easier to overcook and finding the sweet spot for al dente corn pasta is definitely harder. as soon as you mix it in with something like a sauce or put it in a salad people usually can't tell the difference.

when i'd cook for my family or would have people over in the past, depending on the dish, it would sometimes prove too inconvenient or unpractical to prepare two different kinds of pasta. so i would just make corn pasta for everyone. there hasn't been a single person who was able to tell that they weren't eating wheat pasta.

and yes, i have a wheat allergy, sort of.

There's a slim chance that we'll be dining at this place in a couple of hours, can't promise anything, though.

Oh dear. That's the Sophia Loren of the hamburgers. It almost has a voluptuous quality.

So envious.

 

[Funky Papa]

On second thought, those Schnitzel look tremendous, too.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

HOLY HELL!

Onekl I am not gonna ask how you even ate half of that, or the end result a few horus later.

 

[tak]

That's kind of big

 

[deadbeef]

I was going to make ... Spaetzel (spelling?) but they don't sell those kind of noodles around here. I tried just egg noodles, but I don't think that's what was intended. Tasted pretty good though.

 

[Blablurn]

haha, i bet this xxl restaurant was already featured on some kabel 1 tv-show. but the food looks great! really really great.

 

[Funky Papa]

Yeah, most "oversized" dishes look like crap, but Onkel's pics are amazing. The burger is particulary sexy, it doesn't look like some of the gigantic abortions I've seen in other places.

 

[MrFingers]

My God.....it's full of stars!

 

[Urban Scholar]

Onkel...bless your soul...its so beautiful...

Good god, I thought America was supposed to be the country with ridiculous sizes.

 

[OnkelC]

I'm hungry again... but only Miracoli tonight.:lol

 

[Zyzyxxz]

I made some braised pork belly for some ramen a few days ago.

Cooked for 3 hours until nice soft and the skin turns gelantanous!

 

[DonCuco]

Holy crap Xy.. lol you put some chicharones (pork grinds) in your ramen.

 

[DonCuco]

Did some smoked chicken on Saturday... Here it is in the marinade.

chix are done man!

 

[Zyzyxxz]

holy chicken DonCuco!

Damn I'm contemplating about buying a smoker now or waiting till next year since since summer is ending soon.

without words:
Enjoy!

Nice, that's not far away from where I live. I love the Waldgeist!

 

[Billen]

German speaking über food fest

I need to travel south for an "eat and drink" vacation. Looks very healthy!

 

[OnkelC]

Zyzyxxz and DonCuco, thanks for sharing! The Ramen looks tempting. Is the chicken served hot or cold?

Well, the burger had half a head of iceberg lettuce shredded in it, so it must be healthy... :lol

Omnomnomnom. I love melt-in-your-melt meat.

 

[OnkelC]

Nobody eating anymore? Share your dishes please.

 

[jax (old)]

wicked thread. just got in. Any wingding recipes to share? Good ones yes?

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Nobody eating anymore? Share your dishes please.

I haven't been doing much "good" cooking. Just my lazy stuff which I feel I've shared plenty of before.

I should start really doing something as summer vacation is ending for me.

 

[favouriteflavour]

On a baking kick.

Jam Drops:

Chocolate and Hazelnut Brownies:

And some potato salad for my nephews first birthday bbq:

 

[smirkrevenge]

have not made anything as of late due to hurricane ike, but trust me, once i get power again...i will be hitting the kitchen with a full fury.

and onkel, your schnitzel and burger pictures illicit some very dirty thoughts in my head. if i'm ever in germany, we best be drinking and eating like the best of the Prussian kings.

 

[Thriller]

Okay not really cooking but onkel posted his burger so I thought this would be allowed as well.
As we all know the Dutch love their fish, you should eat fresh fish at least twice a week to get your omega 3 fatties inside of you
Me living near the ocean makes it easy for me to get my herring, but as all of you well drilled herring eaters know... NEW herring should not be eaten with onions (so i did it wrong because I like it with )

Hollandse Nieuwe

Look at these beauties

Add bun + (onions)

Get a smoked mackerell in there too

Nice!

I hope you found my supper interesting

 

[SRG01]

 

[OnkelC]

you give me a warm and fuzzy feeling in side, people! keep it coming. recipes to go along with the pics would be great, too.

awesome bakery and the the Hering looks delish, but it needs onions alongside it, screw the purists!:lol

sorry to hear that, let's hope that the condition will be back to normal soon. And if you drop into germany some time, drop me a line, OK?

 

[Thriller]

Thank you for the props Onkel, because it was my 22nd birthday (the 16th) I will be giving a birthday party this saturday, tomorrow we will make stuffed eggs, ill try and share my mothers best kept secret to the world.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

OMFG LOOKS SO GOOD! I've wanted to try Herring like that for quite some time now.

Looks like something I'd cook with left over chicken... the plate even looks like mine too. Weird.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Yakitori and some omelette rice for lunch

 

[beelzebozo]

pain a l'ancienne, anyone?

the dough, ready to go:

in the oven. that poor parchment!

resting

 

[bud]

that looks amazing, man! i'd totally buy that.

do you have a pic that shows what it looks like on the inside?

 

[beelzebozo]

it's cooling right now! when i cut it, i'll show you. it has what you'd expect from an artisan loaf of bread: irregular holes, really airy. the crust is nice and crisp. i love me some bread, dude.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

really nice loaf of bread if I say so myself!

Whats the paper for though?

 

[beelzebozo]

in my book--the baker's apprentice--the recommendation for these loaves is to slide the parchment in with the loaf when you move it from the piel, as it's extremely moist and doesn't slide well, even with corn meal underneath. so you put the parchment in with it to ensure your loaf keeps a nice shape.

 

[beelzebozo]

do you have a pic that shows what it looks like on the inside?

as promised:

 

[nakedsushi]

Nice air pockets! What type of yeast/starter did you use for it?

 

[SRG01]

I made dry ribs (using some spicy salt thingy) and some chives (choves?):
