• 98 memories, zucchini was food scenes

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to DALE SHIPP on Friday, August 03, 2018 16:11:10
    We went to an event at the Howard County fairgrounds last year, and
    there were multiple food trucks there. One in particular was pretty
    good. It was a BBQ truck, I think I might have mentioned it here. The problem with it is that we would not know how to find it again if we got
    a hankering for their food. They move from event to event, and even

    What was the name again? My guesses are Madame
    Barbeque and Smokin' J's.

    though I now follow them on Facebook, I don't recognize the places where
    they say they are going to be. Plus, sometimes I don't see the post
    until after the event is almost over.

    If you had that great a yen for the food, you'd
    have some incentive to go on Facebook more often!

    Title: Jeff's Barbecue Sauce
    Categories: Bbq, Sauce
    Yield: 1 Servings

    1/4 c Bacon drippings or margarine
    1/2 c Molasses
    1/4 c Wine vinegar
    2 tb Chili Powder
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Garlic Powder
    1 c Ketchup
    2 tb Worcestershire Sauce
    2 c Water
    1 ts Dry mustard
    1/2 ts Cayenne Pepper or Red
    -Pepper

    Looks decent in flavor profile, but I'd add (and do)
    cumin and omit or minimize the mustard and Worcester.

    Of course.

    From those ancient days -

    Potch

    All the vegetables were boiled slowly in their jackets, never allowed
    to bubble in boiling, for then the goodness is from them, and they
    are full of water, and a squash, tasteless to the mouth, without good
    smell, an offence to the eye, and an insult to the belly. Firm in the
    hand, skin them clean, and put them in a dish and mash with a heavy
    fork, with melted butter and the bruisings of mint, potatoes, swedes,
    carrots, parsnips, turnips and their tops, then chop small purple
    onions very fine, with a little head of parsley, and pick the leaves
    of small watercress from the stems, and mix together. The potch will
    be of a creamy colour with something of pink, having a smell to tempt
    you to eat there and then, but wait until it has been in the hot oven
    for five minutes with a cover, so that the vegetables can mix in warm
    comfort together and become friendly, and the mint can go about his
    work, and for the cress to show his cunning, and for the goodness all
    about to soften the raw, ungentle nature of the onion.

    Brandy broth

    O, Brandy Broth is the King of Broth and royal in the rooms of the
    mouth. A good chicken and a noble piece of ham, with a little
    shoulder of lamb, small to have the least of grease, and then a
    paste of the roes of trout with cream, a bit of butter, and the
    yolk of egg, whipped tight and poured in when the chicken, proud
    with a stuffing of sage and thyme, has been elbowing the lamb and
    the ham in the earthenware pot until all three are tender as the
    heart of a mother. In with the carrots and turnips and the goodness
    of marrow bones, and in with a mixing of milk and potatoes. Now
    watch the clock and every fifteen minutes pour in a noggin of brandy,
    and with the first a pint of home-brewed ale. Two noggins in, and
    with the third, throw in the chopped bottoms of leeks, but save the
    green leaves until ten minutes from the time you sit to eat, for
    then you shall find them still a lovely green.
    Drink down the liquor and raise your eyes to give praise for
    a mouth and a belly, and then start upon the chicken.

    Pretty sure it is "smokin J's BBQ".

    though I now follow them on Facebook, I don't recognize the places where they say they are going to be. Plus, sometimes I don't see the post

    I tend to scan facebook several times per day, and maybe post there
    several times per year. BTW, you recall that corn festival we went to
    last year. It was supposed to be tommorrow, Sat 4 Aug. But I got a
    notice on Facebook that they had to cancel it because of flooding and
    heavy rains having adverse effect on the corn crop. I recall a small
    creek running through the grounds (we crossed over a wooden bridge to
    get to the picnic area), but rains have been pretty heavy here for a few
    weeks. I guess ground has gotten saturated and just cannot absorb any
    more water.

    Another recipe from one who used to post here. He seemed to focus on
    Luby's and also on Separdic Jewish recipes.

    Title: Luby's Spanish Indian Baked Corn
    Categories: Vegetable, Spanish
    Yield: 1 servings

    1/4 lb Bacon, chopped into 1/2-in
    Pieces
    1/3 c Onion, diced
    1/3 c Celery, diced
    1/3 c Green bell pepper, cored,
    Seeded, and diced
    1/4 lb Butter, PLUS
    2 tb Butter, melted and divided
    1/4 c Milk
    13 1/2 oz Cream-style corn
    13 1/2 oz Whole kernel corn, well
    Drained
    2 tb Jalapenos, diced
    2 tb Pimentos, diced
    1 ts Salt
    1 tb Sugar
    2 c Corn bread muffins, crumbled
    And divided

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Add
    the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Saute for 2 minutes until low
    heat. Set aside.

    In a medium-size pan, melt the 1/4 pound of butter. Add the milk,
    corn, jalapenos, pimentos, salt, and sugar. Heat the mixture over low
    heat.

    Add the bacon/vegetable mixture and 1 cup of the corn bread muffin
    crumbs to the corn mixture. Heat well, stirring frequently.

    Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch square by 1 1/2-inch deep pan.
    Moisten the remaining corn bread muffin crumbs with the remaining
    butter and sprinkle on top of the corn mixture.

    Bake in a preheated, 350 degree F. oven until the crumbs are light
    brown.

    Makes 8 servings.

    NOTE: According to Luby's Cafeteria spokeswoman, many Luby's managers
    adapt and create their own recipes, and the dishes are available
    only at the specific restaurant. That is the case with Spanish
    Indian Baked Corn, which is available at the Luby's in Pasadena,
    Texas on Wednesdays.
