Signature Recipes

Posted on October 2, 2020October 8, 2020 by Melooley

Today, in the Fam Jam Zoom, it was requested I define a signature dish. So. Defining A Signature Dish A signature dish is something you’d be willing to be judged by. A signature dish is something you’d be proud to serve, even to A**Holes like Gordon Ramsey, and be willing for others to form opinions…

Aunt Gail’s Texas Skillet Dinner

Posted on September 16, 2020September 18, 2020 by Melooley

My favorite part of the skillet dinner is that it only uses a skillet for frying the egg, and nothing else. I think it might need a better name, or we should serve the whole thing, warm, in a skillet. This is like a canvas, fairly unseasoned, that can be jazzed up as you see…

Pizza Crust Drama: Finally, Success with a Yeast Bread!

Posted on September 14, 2020September 18, 2020 by Melooley

My husband told me all about how he and his brother used to make pizzas with their mom. Spreading sauce, distributing cheese and meats… but he admitted they didn’t make their crust. So to one-up his childhood, we had to make our own crust. My last effort at yeast bread, literally just following my mother’s…

Cousin Michael’s American Chinese Stir-Fry

Posted on September 9, 2020September 9, 2020 by Melooley

I basically bullied Cousin Michael into typing up this recipe, which he makes all the time but never wrote down. Personally, I feel like I’m incompetent with tofu, so I’m thrilled to get “proper” directions from someone who knows what they’re doing. With tofu, at least 😉 When you buy the tofu, put it straight…

THE Margarita Recipe, from Dad

Posted on September 8, 2020September 14, 2020 by Melooley

There was some family tension – Momma says it’s too good not to share, Dad said it’s too simple to bother writing down. But we convinced him! He calls it the 1-2-3: one part lime juice two parts Cointreau (or similar orange liquor) three parts tequila (or mescal or sotol or some EtOH made from…

Drink Recipes, from Dad Dooley

Posted on September 7, 2020September 14, 2020 by Melooley

Everyone in the family has been challenged to submit the recipe of a signature dish. These are my dad’s entries, though I believe he’s never made the Gin Fizz. My parents’ house and my own have spearmint in the gardens, so we all drink mojitos eagerly, but rarely with careful measurements. The next part of…

“Navajo Bread”

Posted on March 22, 2020September 14, 2020 by Melooley

I don’t know the origins of this bread, but it’s traveling around Twitter as Navajo Bread, and is supposed to be delightfully cheap, easy, and tasty. A winning combination. I’m trying this recipe on 22 March 2020, with mostly self-rising flour, but about 1/6 whole wheat flour, and perhaps too much water. It was more…
