Comments (50)Nancy... I just realized I didn't post the Crab Louie recipe but I halved this one and changed lemon for lime as that's what's on our tree and added avocado and hard boiled egg on the plate and in the dressing as well as black, not green olives. The sauce was very rich but good, and if I make this again I need a source of fresh, lump crab which is not still inside the shell , because we don't get the right kind of crab here and it's a very messy job to find the meat LOL. CRAB LOUIE - epicurious yield: Makes 4 main-course servings active time: 20 minutes total time: 30 minutes For dressing * 1 cup mayonnaise * 1/4 cup ketchup-based chili sauce * 1/4 cup minced scallion * 2 tablespoons minced green olives * 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice * 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce * 1 teaspoon bottled horseradish * Salt and pepper to taste * 1 1/2 lb jumbo lump crabmeat * Iceberg lettuce, shredded * Capers * Tomato wedges * Hard-boiled egg * Lemon Make dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, chili sauce, scallion, green olives, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, bottled horseradish, and salt and pepper to taste. Pick over crabmeat, then divide among 4 plates lined with shredded iceberg lettuce. Garnish with capers and wedges of tomato, hard-boiled egg, and lemon and serve with dressing.

Comments (40)I mostly use Calphalon anodized pots and pans. My frying pan never sticks. I can make a beautiful omelet in it with a little bacon grease or butter. I don't ever use non-stick sprays on my pots and pans. And I won't have teflon in my house for the reasons posted above. I do want to get All-clad my next time around. In fact, I've been meaning to contact Calphalon because a couple of my pots have silvered inside, and I'm not really comfortable with the idea that the metal composition has changed....See MoreDoes your kitchen inhibit the way you cook?
Comments (40)I'm late to this party, but I have to say, such easily cleaned surfaces as granite and stainless steel would not prevent me from cooking, though if I were tired, I might just wipe up visible residue with a sponge and do a proper cleaning the next day (or have a helper do it). The exception is eggplants. One of my reasons for getting a small gas top to go with my induction was for charring eggplants, but stainless is not as easy to clean as enamel, and the grate is really heavy, so I have a tendency to stick eggplants in the broiler on a pyroceram pie plate that goes in the dishwasher, instead. But if the oven were otherwise engaged, I'd use the gas flames. The kitchen that came with the house was horrible to cook in. The stove and fridge were a hike apart. The dishwasher was a few steps away from the sink. The kitchen was a G shape within a room, trapping the cook, or forcing a '60's spy movie leap over the peninsula. I spent a long time designing and implementing my current kitchen, which is a U with umlaut, and has cabinetry instead of blank walls. Things are spaced right and there's good work flow. The main single cook working zone ("triangle" +) is compact and efficient, but I've also had six cooks and various schmoozers in there comfortably. If your kitchen is bugging you so much, you might seriously consider a remodel. If the cabinets are in good shape, you might be able to reuse them, and might even be able to recut the granite. Get induction! You could put paper (newspaper, paper towels, parchment, butcher paper) all over your spatter area and just roll up the mess and put it away. If that's not in the cards, get a high powered portable induction unit that will put out enough power for your sears, and put that on the paper, or perhaps a piece of Formica (i.e., plastic) skin that's easy to wash and store with the baking boards. Even as it stands now, you can make an apron for your gas cooktop out of something like Masonite covered with stainless steel. Make a flat piece to cover the counter all around it for the space the spatter reaches, and hide it in the garage or something unless you're searing. You can even get fancy and make a backsplash of sorts to stand up, or perhaps even adapt a wind protector from an outdoor grill. Having a protector that you can just dump in the sink to wash or hose off the next day is far superior to avoiding the cooking!! Embrace your kitchen! Allow it to serve you. Do whatever you need to to keep it from bugging you....See MoreHelp. Cooking for Mom
Comments (57)Oh carolb. ! Non alcoholic wine. What a great idea. I would have to find it in a box. She started an odd habit last year of starting dinner at 2 in the afternoon and drinking Dad's box wine he keeps in the fridge. She has never been a drinker except maybe a holiday dinner. He has a glass with a cheese snack around 6 or 7 an hour or so after dinner. She never cared for red wine. He is a bit stressed about it. Because of the early signs of dementia she forgets she just had a glass and has another. Maybe he could fill an empty box with grape juice. Hide his in the shed. I doubt she would know. She would never have a glass of wine from a bottle..."that's for company!"...why I can't bring packaged snacks. She would hide them as 'special'. I did take out ingredients for an oatmeal/date type no-bake protein bomb/balls. Something they could keep in the freezer if they like them. Dad has a salt shaker and a sugar shaker on the table....See Moreaziline
