soon Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 @AxlsFavoriteRose: the boyardee continuation: Oh yeah, Ive used carrots too. I omit sugar when i use carrots as they add enough sweet (and is healthier of course). I cant get it as smooth as the store bought when I use carrots though. I love having a use for all the tomato juice at harvest and its fun to mimic junk food from the gardens bounty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsFavoriteRose Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 i never add any sugar or anything sweet to my tomato sauce, like for spaghetti, lasagna etc. i use tomato paste which may have sugar in it? and tomato sauce. like Hunt's cos like the commercial says they steam their tomatoes instead of using lye! i never even KNEW tomatoes were peeled by using lye by some companies if you start making your tomato sauce and selling it i will buy it!

Lye?! It takes like 45 seconds in boiling water to get skin off, is that so hard on industry? I only add sugar for the chef boyardee clone, because thats what it takes to clone it . I should add though that lye is whats used to get outer skin off of corn to make tortilla, pupusa and tamale but as far s I understand its necessary and inside stuff never touches it, unlike the tomatoes. If I start selling tomato sauce, it will very likely not be my boyardee clone! Plus, Im not gonna try and compare with yours that you've been making since grade 5!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one thing, when cooking it do you ever refer to it as "sketti sauce" or any other pet name that may be necessary to use to correctly recreate it? Ive noticed that this can be key 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows what else! i never call it gravy either. but that's because i grew up on "granny gravy...the gravy that my grandma made as i am sure her mom did and maybe her mom before. made the same as my spaghetti sauce but this you need to keep an eye on as you want to get it to that thick but not too thick consistency. sooooo good on biscuits, or on chicken fried steak or just by the spoonful!

On a regular basis just naan, palak paneer, chilli paneer (wet and dry versions), the one with cauliflower and potato and various coconut yellow curries. But Ive enjoyed trying out more with varying degrees of edibility. Youd easily rock palak paneer. Its fun to make the paneer too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 9 hours ago, soon said: Whats your favourite way to prepare tuna steak? I tend to oven bake it in foil. Recipes always say 10 minutes but that's always too well done for me. @janrichmond Aside from the standard fags, booze and drugs, I'm advised against tuna, shellfish, raw fish, soft cheese with a skin, blue cheese, cured meats and steak cooked any less than well done. I think that's it. There has been several times I've had to miss out on review meals because of this. No specific cravings yet. But I'm exhausted for most of the time, so am eating biscuits like there's no tomorrow to keep my energy levels up. I've gone from one or two cups of coffee a day to zero as I don't like it now. And I'll drink tea, but find it weird once it's cooled past a certain temp. @AxlsFavoriteRose I call BS on the woman you knew eating dirt due to cravings. That's not pregnancy, that's derangement.

OMG on my 2nd pregnancy i was addicted to steak,prawns, salmon and tuna and would have one or the other everyday. I just didn't want any other food!! Of course none of these were bad for you at the time I'm sure you have many mums telling you shit like this,lol, then trotting out the "it never did me any harm" just ignore us old farts and carry on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, everything in moderation. Folks have been having babies successfully since the dawn of humanity, which shockingly enough, was pre modern science. The one piece of advice I've not taken is not to have sex without a condom. This is the one time unprotected sex is 100% safe! It's mainly if the man has an STI, though. Modern times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
