I went to the store today, and some cooked shrimp caught my eye. Thinking I already had cocktail sauce, I went ahead and bought them.

Turns out, no cocktail sauce. :(

It also turns out that mixing taco sauce, ketchup, and sriracha is NOT an acceptable substitute.

In the end, I browned a bit of garlic and onion in olive oil, threw in some broccoli, a pinch of salt, a bit of basil, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and a couple of tablespoons of water, covered it and let the broccoli steam for a couple of minutes, then added the shrimp for long enough to heat up. Tastay!


But...I've seen your vast collection of condiments... :sadbanana:

Yes, but I ate all the cocktail sauce. :(

It's probably time to clean out the fridge, and photograph the current condimentary situation. A lot of old ones have been consumed, but I suspect we have acquired several more, because there rarely seems to be any room in the fridge.

I have no idea how you manage to store actual food in there. 

Unless you have a separate fridge for condiments, that would be awesome.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

Perhaps I should post a pic of my fridge, w/food, so you can see how the condiments take up so much space that the regular food is perched precariously on top of all the bottles and jars.

Next time, if I stop being lazy, I will take pictures so I can be just like RWHN.

Huh?  I think you meant alphapance, right?  Although I have wanted to do a satirical take on the "Cooking with ____" threads.  Mine would've included pictures with phonebooks, dictionaries, and other weird, out of place publications.  Cause I really don't get the whole book/food thing.

For future reference, cocktail sauce is ketchup plus horseradish.

I temped at a factory that makes salad dressing and other various condiments when I first moved to Indy so I know all of the tricks.  Tartar sauce is mayo plus relish. Russian dressing is "salad dressing" plus ketchup. Thousand Island is that plus relish. And extra heavy duty mayo is the spawn of the devil!   :evilmad:

This was yesterday's breakfast:



Sear bison very lightly... it should still be raw and cold inside, you just want to kill any germs on the surface

Mince parsley and green onions

Drizzle with a mixture of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil and black pepper

Nom nom nom!

Nigel's Spaggoty Sauce

Start this shit early 'cause it's gonna simmer alllll day.

Most of the key ingredients.


Sautee a minced onion and a stick of celery in a bit of olive oil.


Dice an eggplant.


Add the diced eggplant and sautee until it starts to turn translucent.


Dump in some red wine. I don't know, maybe a quarter of a bottle.


Grate two carrots and a potato.


Add them to the pot.


Dump in a bunch of sauce and crushed tomatoes. Maybe some diced ones too. Fresh tomatoes are better.


Stir that shit up!


Slice a fuckload of mushrooms.


Mince up some herbs and a bunch of garlic! DO IT! I used thyme, oregano, rosemary and sage from my garden, and dried basil.


Add the mushrooms and herbs to the sauce.


Add a half cup or so of heavy cream.


Serve over pasta with parmesan and bread and perhaps a meatball or two NOM NOM NOM.

the pot thickens! :rimshot:

sorry, it just popped in my mind.

one suggestion to try maybe, I found that the flavour of mushrooms improves immensely if you bake them separately (or perhaps with the garlic) until they're brown before adding them to something that will just simmer. I did this a couple of times the past weeks and everybody was very enthousiastic about it.
