Catwalker's World BlogIt's my world and I'll decorate it however I want! March 20 Great potluck saladQUICK CURRIED TURKEY AND PEAR SALAD
Copyright, 2000, Ming Tsai
1 TBS Madras Curry Powder
1 Lemon, juiced
½ C Mayonaise
2 Cups, ½ Inch Diced Turkey Breast Meat (You can also use chicken. I like to used the precooked grilled chicken from Tyson or Foster Farms to save time))
2 Pears, peeled and cut 1/2/ inch dice (I don’t peel them and I like to use the Asian Pears)
3 scalions, sliced
Salt and black pepper
2 Romaine lettuce hearts, washed, dried, and cut into large chiffonade (I just get a bag of Romaine lettuce heart pieces)
Mix the curry with the lemon juice to dissolve. Mix in the mayonnaise. Fold in with the turkey, pears, and scallions. Season. Serve on bed of romaine leaves Serves 2-4
Prep time: 25 minutes January 21 Acres of ClamsClam Dip
2 8 oz bricks cream cheese (leave out of fridge for an hour to soften)
3 cans chopped clams, drain and reserve clam juice
1-2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Worcestershire, and 1/3 of the clam juice. Use a hand mixer to mix until smooth. (Start at a low speed and work your way up or you'll have spots on the ceiling!) Add additional juice as needed to get desired consistancy. Fold in clams. Chill one hour before serving. Fabulous with Tim's Cascade potato chips or Wavy Lays. This is a thick dips so you'll need a strong chip. August 25 More 'shrooms!STUFFED MUSHROOMS 1 lb medium mushrooms Cut stems from mushrooms; finely chop enough stems to measure 1/3 cup. Cook and stir chopped mushrooms stems, onion, and green pepper in 3 tablespoons butter until tender, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in bread crumbs, salt thyme, turmeric and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in shallow baking dish until melted (or spray with Pam). Fill mushroom caps with stuffing mixture; place mushrooms, filled sides up in baking dish. Bake uncovered in 350° oven 15 minutes. Set oven control to broil and or 550°. Broil mushrooms with tops 3 to 4 inches from heat 2 minutes. Serve hot. About 3 dozen appetizers This is the basic recipe from Betty Crocker. I use really good bread and add things to make them different every time. Last time I served these, I added Parmeson cheese and chopped, blanched asparagus. I've also made them with garlic Cheddar. They always disappear -- I've yet to have any left after a party, even those with only a few people. Also, don't wash your mushrooms in water. They get waterlogged and the end result is icky. Wipe them off with a kitchen towel or paper towel. Choose largish, very fresh ones -- buy them on the day you're going to make them. Surefire Appetizer!BABY TWICE BAKED POTATOES 2 lbs baby red or white new potatoes Par-boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes (depending on size). Drain and store in fridge until cold. Slice potatoes in half and scoop out the insides with a melon baller, leaving about ¼ inch of flesh next to skin. (Be careful because the new potato skin is pretty tender and tears.) Put the scooped out potato in a food processor with the sour cream and process until smooth (potato will be too hard to mash with a fork). Mix in the remaining ingredients. Spoon mixture back into the skins and arrange in a shallow casserole, baking pan, or roaster. Sprinkle with more cheese. Bake 375° until hot and slightly browned on top. I never have any of these leftover unless I hide them! Super yummy! July 12 I'm and MCSE!!! I passed Exam 70-220, Designing Security for a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network!

April 22 Talking about: One of those questionsHmmm . . . That's a tough one. How about Stone Temple Pilots, "Purple" or "No4"? AC/DC, "Highway to Hell" is also good. I have a number of soundtrack favorites like "Mona Lisa's Smile", "What Women Want", "Hi Fidelity", "Grosse Point Blank", "Dazed and Confused", and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Radio Sunnydale". Have to agree with Neil about Peter Gabriel, "So" as well. And Fleetwood Mac, "Rumours" (and if you don't know all the words, shame on you!). Steve Miller Band, "Greatest Hits 1974-78" (and don't tell me there's rules against Greatest Hits albums, 'cause some are just classic). Of course, the best ones are the ones I've created myself.
