New York striscia bistecca in salsa di pomodoro su linguine con mozzerela e paremsan e basilico

frustrating day followed by a few of these



decide to make linguine according to zippys recipe and end up with this





and unlike jake, biscuit does not approve of anything except sitting in my spot on the sofa

Looks great!! Biscuit is missing out on some great food.:) Zippy has some great recipes.

You know Bill, naturally I was apprehesive when I saw that you were being inspired by Zippy, but the food looks so good that maybe it's a good thing? Haha. Nice job on the chow!

lowercasebill

don't be worried about zippy inspired,,, he never tried to kill his friends with chocolate covered death peppers,, i think i am the dangerous one :laugh:

Big'un

Haha. You may be right about that Bill; It's always the quiet ones....
I'm almost glad those death peppers you had are gone, I was wincing every time yall would down one of those. There was a day when I would be right there with you, wolfing those things down too, but I guess I'm not into pain anymore.Haha. But they did look good! How are things with you lately?

lowercasebill

i don't eat those things just try to kill my friends or at least put them into a coma.. i am well all things considered, been a long couple months but the blessings are greater than the bad stuff.

Bordello

Great pictures. Looks like you eat and drink well.

Keep Eggen,

That's good to hear, about the blessings and the death peppers! I hope the coming months are a bit kinder. You're still in my prayers,for what it's worth.

Hay bill just got home from WORK!! :ohmy: The food pics look great except for all the stray cheese around the plate! Wife told me on the phone tonight at work " bill posted a great looking cook except he left cheese all around his plate. Just like a man to leave stuff laying around" :P For what its worth it will be morning by the time you read this. Hope Bisket let you have a little of the pillow last night! One down 2 graveyards to go. I need a few days off. Having a real job is killing me!

lowercasebill

thank you i surely need them

lowercasebill

i do, thank you,, plus it was a fun cook. my younger son and i did this together.

lowercasebill

glad you are back to work , couple of those german beers and cleaning up the stay cheese gets moved to the bottom of the list. plus i was starved and eating was more important than cleaning up

Zippylip

bill, it looks great, glad to see that I have inspired something that isn't likely to result in an explosion, fire, or serious bodily injury

lowercasebill

the zippy linguine was really great , Ben and i cooked together and he loved the noodles . they were so good i am making them again tonight and just serving with butter salt and pepper..
how do you knead/ mix your dough??
bill

Zippylip

I mix it in the kitchenaid with the dough hook to get it all together, then I hand knead it on the counter (which is where the fine tuning comes in - added flour, proper consistency....), then I cut it with a pastry cutter into small chunks & run it through the KA roller to desired thickness, cut, then hang it up

lowercasebill

thanks that is what i did .. except i have the atlas hand cranked and i am not excited about it as it does not cut well maybe i can adjust it.. i need more experrience in the consistency department. practice makes perfect.

Zippylip

the consistency comes in the hand kneading segment, & you can also cut by hand, take your finished sheet & roll it up, then cut it with a knife to desired width, or, leave the sheet flat & cut with a pizza cutter; santa brought me an oldschool dowel type rolling pin & I am itch'n to go prehistoric on an upcoming batch, no electricity whatsoever, we'll see how that goes

Boss Hogg

You and Zip post things I can't even pronounce. Some day I'm going to get even and do a post in Pennsylvenia Dutch! :laugh:

Brian

Zippylip

yea but we can both say scrapple already

lowercasebill

i can do pennslyvania dutch too and what is more pa dutch than scrapple and corn meal mush . the thin stuff is buckboard

Zippylip

holy crap what do you call that bacon wrapped stack of heaven?

lowercasebill

was orignally titled the pennsylvania dutch version of big'uns triple threat.
however i think Pa dutch porkgasm is better

Boss Hogg

I was thinking more along the lines of souse, tripe, and pigs feet. :woohoo:
Yours looks pretty good, though!
Gotta go-be back later

lowercasebill

mmmmmm. pickled tripe
