  1. @Dbeasy except i also added two deseeded habaneros and a jalapeno, and my Chipotle’s were fresh instead of dried. I love heat so i could’ve maybe added more chipotle or another habanero, but I fed my wife and several friends that don’t want to hurt while they eat and they all approved. Salted to taste... i used a lot more than the recipe above but it turned out really, really well. I also doubled+ the garlic. Up the spice and salt to your preference but at the very very least this was a great recipe to get me to make my own chili paste or whatever.
  2. I think this turned out just fine... not overly hot but a nice slow burn, at least right now. I added a couple habaneros and a jalapeño so i imagine that will come through more tomorrow but it’s not 9 alarm fire burn a whole through your britches hot. Want to let it sit overnight so we can have it for dinner tomorrow and I’m sure it’ll spice up and thicken up even more but based on a few small tastings this is definitely some of the best I’ve made. Love the recipe.
  3. I am rocking the @jimmyjazz recipe from the last page. I didn’t even see the dried chipotles when I was buying groceries, so I had to add some pre-diced chipotles I had in the fridge (la costena brand, this is great to keep around to add to various sauces chilis etc.) I’m hoping the fresh chipotle instead of dried doesn’t throw it off too much, but after tasting it before and after adding, that’s definitely what was missing.
  4. Man, same here. I’m glad to know it’s not just my wife that watches really stupid tv.
  5. I had to look up what this even was. My interest is piqued.
  6. My wife makes a kick ass tortilla soup. I like to toss in some crushed up tortilla chips along with the other accoutrements
  7. Thank god this shitshow is almost over and won’t be taking up three nights in my living room anymore.
  8. My in-laws are in town for the weekend, so we made BBQ shrimp. Cold and windy in Houston tonight. Geaux Cajuns!
  9. Very cool. I will ask, but I’m unsure. I’ve been trying to get him to put out a 40 year anniversary edition with a few newer things he’s done. Maybe now that they’re trying to slow down he can use some of his extra free time. I definitely may have gotten the last copy that’s printed though... mine isn’t even bound properly, i just found all the pages and had to staple them ha. I’ll DM you if I hear otherwise.
  10. No idea what cookbook this came from, but this is what I used/she sent me when I made it last time. It’s really damn easy - much easier and faster to make than a gumbo. I cooked the veggies in a separate pan so I probably ended up using more butter in my roux than this calls for, but it certainly doesn’t hurt this dish.
  11. It’s about 40 pages so I’ll need to find some time to scan it and upload it somewhere but that’s doable.
  12. I told my wife there’s no way a girl that hot is that single unless she’s THAT crazy. I don’t care enough to stick around but from the bits and pieces I’ve seen while she’s watching you can’t convince me I’m wrong.
  13. Like ole miss? aggy? Georgia? LSU? Why? Because some flowers on campus at this point decide that something as innocuous as a school song can be deemed racist 85 years later? GTFO with that nonsense. As soon as an adult will actually put their door down this bullshit will and should be done with.
  14. Winning doesn’t solve bitchassedness
  15. If there’s one thing I learned from my dad (other than always cook with shallots) it’s that if you are going to make any soup or sauce, you need a homemade stock. If anyone needs some help on this front: It sounds like more of a bitch than it actually is to make but you will tell a difference vs using the heb brand.
  16. My wife gives me shit for not wanting soups for dinner, but growing up my dad was a classically trained chef so I never thought about stuff like chicken tortilla soup or whatever. I’ve always just thought of soups as appetizers. Over the past few years between the gumbos and ettouffes I’ve realized the error in my ways. Anyway, my MIL will be in town this weekend so I’ll bet that ettouffee recipe from her. My dad also makes a leek and spinach soup which is the best thing I’ve ever eaten, it’s a shame it’s not in his cookbook but that will be posted in here soon along with some pics after I make it next time.
  17. I’m going to add a few recipes from the cookbook my dad made from my family’s restaurant (my dads been the chef the entire 40 years they’ve been there). I’ve made most of these at one point or another and they will get you laid.
