Thanks!

Tonight's midnight snack (okay, not midnight, but it's just about ten o'clock):

Granny Smith apple slices and super-sharp Cheddar cheese...

Simple but completely explosive for me. :D

I love most all root veggies, especially roasted to bring out their natural sweetness. Parnips are yummy roasted with celery hearts, makes a fun combination. Peel the celery hearts (duh), but just scrub the parsnips (unless the peels are ludicrously thick or hideous for some reason, in which case... don't buy them!). Chop everything into relatively uniform pieces, evoo salt pepper, 400 oven until golden brown and delicious. It is to yum.

The simplest pleasures are often the best. Granny Smith are my favorite apples by far. I'm all about the tart crispness.

I used to be able to get Neals Yard cheddar at a bakery that is half a block from my office, before they sold out and became a completely run-of-the-mill McCafe. That stuff is AMAZING with Granny Smiths.

Hmmmm... Neal's Yard? Does that mean you're a Brit? I knew a guy that traveled to London for business... Brought me back their shampoos every now and again. Jealousy!

There's this adorable French woman at our farmer's market that sells the best cheeses and butters... I think a could love a woman with a French accent that forces dairy products upon me...

No, I'm a Southern Californian, so having Neals Yard cheese practically at my doorstep was a luxury. A luxury not to last, alas. I used to LOVE that bakery. Amazing cheeses, wines, breads, vinegars, oils, prosciutto... I... I'm sorry, I need a moment...

Okay. *deep shaky breath* I'm okay now. Yes, I could see myself falling for a French dairymaid as well.

How funny! I live in Southern CA as well, until Saturday, when I move to a decidedly more frozen climate... I didn't know they had a Neal's Yard down here! Would have loved to take advantage of it while I still lived here... :(

I could spend days living in my local Whole Foods. I love it when the deli boys try to tempt me with Bleu Ribbon Potato Salad or empanadas... :drool:

Best of luck with your move, and I hope you enjoy the True North Strong and Free! Some amazing people up there. Of course, I could be completely misreading you, and you may not be moving THAT far north, but whereever it is, I hope you find joy.

It wasn't a Neals Yard place, per se, but they used to carry Neals Yard cheeses, along with ALL sorts of other fine artisan cheeses and meats from around the world and now they don't and now they are completely generic and now they suck and now I'm going to cr... no! I can keep it together. I can!

*sniffle*

Can't say i'd blame the deli boys for trying to tempt the likes of you.

Awww... Thanks! That's kind of you to say...

I think there's a Farmer's Market thread around here somewhere, but I think that's one of the things I'll miss about Southern California.

Besides my family and stuff, of course. :D

Heh. Of course! Family is just as important as food. Sometimes.

I have to run now, but it was a pleasure to meet you. Stick around, post some more foodgasms, make yourself comfortable. I hope your move is smooth and painless, and that you come back here and visit us when you get settled in the tundra.

Peace, love, and foodgasms! :kiss:

I've been to most of the bigger local Farmer's Markets, but I think my favorite is the Hollywood one on Sunday. It always has such a festival atmosphere to it, with all of the hot food stands and the music. I always make my way to the crepe stand first, for a piping hot crepe filled with sweet potato. I love the musician that always sets up across from the crepes, his array of instruments strewn all around him on a blanket, encouraging kids to come and make music wih him. He always has a crowd of singing, playing children around him, a perfect accompaniment for my breakfast.

Peace, love, and foodgasms to you, too. Have a safe and sane move! :kiss:

I miss California and having options other than Whole Foods. They're a great chain, but I miss other stores. Like Mrs. Gooch's in Los Angeles.

That store made the best salsa ever. I had to reverse engineer the recipe because I get addicted. I need to make a vat of the stuff.
 
So what's your favorite chicken salad recipe? I used to throw together mint, apple (granny smiths) and cheddar with miraclewhip (I like the vinegary taste, don't start you mayonnaise snobs).

Waldorf Chicken Salad

Serves 6
2 whole bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (large, at least 1 1/2 pounds each)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Table salt

For Salad

2 medium ribs celery , cut into small dice
2 medium scallions , white and green parts, minced
3/4 - 1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 small lemon
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 apple , cored and cut into medium dice
6 tablespoons chopped walnuts , toasted
Table salt and ground black pepper


1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Set breasts on small, foil-lined jelly roll pan. Brush with oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Roast until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 160 degrees, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature, remove skin and bones, and shread meat into bite-sized pieces (about 5 cups). (Can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for 2 days.)

2. Mix all salad ingredients (including chicken) together in large bowl, including salt and pepper to taste. Serve. (Can be covered and refrigerated overnight.)

Last I heard, Mrs. Gooch's had been bought out by Whole Foods. I haven't been there in years, so I've no idea what sort of changes have been made.

I'm also fond of Wild Oats Market in Pasadena. They have dehydrated soups in their extensive bulk section, which are wonderful for backpacking. The split pea is particularly excellent. Their deli selections are a bit better than Whole Foods, I think.

That sounds good. Mine is pretty traditional (poached chicken, mayo, celery, granny smiths, walnuts, red seedless grapes). Reci posted one in the first few pages of this thread that sounded particularly yummy, as well.

I did the steel in his Tribeca restrunt. I still remember banging a 6-inch pipe column into plumb under the floor joists with a 10-pound hammer right in the middle of the part of the kitchen where the little Mexican chefs do all the prep work. I warned them to cover their ears, but they just shrugged at me and winced in pain with every BANG.

Foodgasm report: my dirt tasting hippie falafel tasted way way way better the next day when I came home starving and exhausted and had lots of falafel and tahini sauce and cucumber/tomato salad ready to go. Appetite is the finest sauce they say.

i usually do roasted chicken bits (pulled not cut), at least 2 fruits in season (apples, pears, pineapple, grapes, etc), celery, dressing of half mayo (best foods, not that hideous sugared miraclewhip!) half nonfat yogurt, salt and celery seed. i dont like nuts but if you do maybe add some pecans.

mint sounds good though. i'll ty that next time.

I'm with you, A. If I'm doing a BIG batch of chicken salad, I'll go the poaching route, just because it's more efficient, no muss no fuss. But if I'm making a small to medium batch, I absolutely love using roasted or rotisserie chicken, always hand pulled. Delicious!

I *love* pears, but have never tried them in chicken salad. That is tickling the flavor sensors in my brain. I'll have to try that next time. I like the idea of mixing yogurt in, too. I do that with my potato salad sometimes, too.

Okay, I need to go get some work done, but I'd love to see some more foodgasms upon my return. Bon Appetit!

It does sound delicious, and I've never tried it in chicken salad, either. I've done tarragon, cilantro, flatleaf parsley, basil, even dill once, but never mint. I'm going to try it, too!

You know, as long as I live, I don't think I will ever tire of making beautiful women mmmmm *shiver*.

Okay, okay, I know, it was the cilantro, not me. But let me have my moment!

There is never a time when I don't have fresh cilantro in the fridge. Other herbs may come and go as needed, but cilantro is forever a staple.
 
i'm craving a roast beef and provolone po-boy from that place i took you....i think we're headed there before the movie....;)
