cooking and a train

I <3 your idea, I'm from Belgium and this is one of my favorite foods especcialy now when it's getting a little colder...
---> Belgisch stoofvlees <--- (Belgian simmered meat)

needed:

• ±500 grams of pork or beef (ask your butcher something from a shoulderpiece and let him slice it in to pieces of ±4cm by 4cm
• 2 onions
• butter
• mustard
• 1 dark beer (I use leffe but just make sure it's a dark beer)
• equal ammount of broth
• 2 bay leaf
• 2 clove
• thyme
• syrup
• pepper & salt

1) cut onions in half and cut them into slices
2) put butter in the casserole, bake the peaces of meat ±1-2 minutes both sides (they should not be ready)
3) remove the meat out of the casserole and set aside, bake the onions in the same butter for ± 5 minutes
4) add the meat back in the casserole and add the beer, the broth, 2 bay leaf, the 2 clove, a little thyme and 1 tablespoon of syrup
5) stur one more time, then take a slice of bread and smear the mustard on it, place mustard downside in the casserole on top of the meath,...
6) let it simmer untouched and unstured for 2- 3 hours on a low heat
7) when done, the meat should be really tender (able to eat without a knife)
8) serve with french fries and enjoy

mmm, I know what I'm eating tomorrow :-)

If I may in return should get a recipe for plum kuchen it would be greatly appreciated :-D

My favourite recipe is Potato Klub, which I usually make near Christmas. It's good enough by itself, but if you really want to clog your arteries: I usually fry the cubes in a pan with heavy cream until they're browned a bit. Best thing ever.

Lol the 1st thing I thought of was pinky and the brain. I did try making spaghetti several times before but they taste awful.

Cooking is something I'm interested in, but I haven't really picked it up yet.
I definitely plan to learn how to cook sometime in the future.

I'm a bad cook. I'm too quick tempered and I hate tedious things. And then when you're done there's a huge mess to clean up.

I can cook, I just don't do it that often these days.

I love borscht with mushroom dumplings (actually I love all kinds of borscht but this one in particular), but I don't make soups myself (well maybe except of the instant ones, but they don't count). The soup is considered to be one of the typical Christmas dishes in Poland and I usually eat it when I'm in my parents house.

<3 for the train, fudge for the belly~

FAST & EASY FUDGE:

3 scant cups Nestles milk chocolate chips (the better the chocolate chips, the better the fudge tastes!)
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed (NOT evaporated) milk
1 tsp vanilla

• see below for more ingredient ideas

In heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and condensed milk over low heat until smooth and shiny. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.

Spread evenly into wax paper lined 8 in square pan and chill for 2-3 hours, or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board, peel off paper and cut into squares.

Store loosely at room temperature.

*Peppermint fudge
Use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk-chocolate, and omit vanilla. Add instead 3 crushed candy canes, and stir well. Spread thinly onto wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Cut with pizza cutter when firm.

*Maraschino Cherry fudge
Use semi-sweet chocolate chips ONLY, and omit vanilla. Add instead 1/4 to 1/2 cup maraschino cherries cut into quarters. Be careful not to include too much of the cherry juice, as the fudge will be too soft. Wonderful! Like chocolate-covered cherries, only with FUDGE!

*Rocky Road
Omit 1 cup of chocolate chips, salt, vanilla & nuts. In saucepan, melt chips with condensed milk and 2 Tbs of margarine. In large bowl, combine 2 cups of your choice of nuts and one 10 1/2 oz package of mini-marshmallows.
Pour chocolate mixture into nut mix, and stir well.

I cook a bit but nothing extensive.and I don't really know what to say in English but it's rice and meat wrapped in grape leaves

Sorry can't be much more help but thank you :3

Thanks for the awesome train.

I'm from Porto, Portugal and I love these two traditional dishes from my region:

• Francesinha: http://www.restauranteoacacio.pt/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/FRANCESINHA1.jpg
• Tripas à moda do Porto: http://www.blogconvergencia.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/receita-dobradinha-com-fava-verde.jpg

I also love this traditional dish from Portugal:

• Bacalhau com natas e puré de batata: http://www.teleculinaria.pt/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/BacalhauCebolaNatas.jpg

We also have great seafood, goose barnacles for example are common in Portugal so we can buy 1Kg for 10€. In the rest of the world goose barnacles are rare so they're sold for about 100€/Kg.

The gastronomy is definitely one of the few good things in Portugal lol

Very nice train! I love pizza and cook a homemade one each week!

I love cooking, but no one likes what I cook (apart from myself, 75% of the times)
Maybe that's because I mix randomly from whatever ingredients I have in the kitchen without thinking much about it..
As for favourite food, it's "kolbulle" which is something that as far as I know only exists in Jämtland, it's somewhat similar to a pancake, but still very different (if that makes any sense?) I don't have any recipe for it, but a quick google search gave me this, if you want me to translate it instead of using google translate (which works fine on the recipe part of the link), then let me know and I'll fix it in the morning ^^ (not sure if it's the real deal or just some wannabe-kolbulle recipe though)

throw a bunch of frozen fruit in a blender with some water and a bit of maple syrup

Bigos with plums.

Ingredients:
1 / 2 white cabbage
1 / 2 pounds sauerkraut
3 / 4 jar of plum jam (for me consistently from Lowicz)
1 plums package
2 cubes Knorr mushroom
2 Petka ordinary sausage
2 bay leaves
green pepper
cumin

Method.

Cut white cabbage, cook mushroom with two dice. Set aside for the night put the caramel in the fridge.
Double-rinse sauerkraut, cook.
Combine the cabbage, add the chopped plums, jam, spices, sausage, and cook, stirring.

bump and thanks!

Bump for great train!

I can't cook anything. I never had any desire, nobody taught me, and it was never a necessity.
When I would try to "cook" (or prepare) something, I was frustrated by the vocabulary it assumed you had, and by the imprecision of the instructions.

I only love chocolate D:

Anzac Biscuits

Thanks for the great train, Bump :D
