Wellington was the fist thing I ever made from a celerity chef's cookbook. It was Graham Kerr (The Galloping Gourmet). I didn't have pâté so I substituted liverwurst. Still, it tasted pretty damn good.

Pat, that sounds wonderful and interesting at the same time to substitute.

May I ask if you added anything to the wurst to moisten?

This was in 1972 or '73. I don't remember the details, but I doubt it. It was spreadable when warm, though.

Kerr had a series of cookbooks that were advertised at the end of his TV show. I worked at a station that carried his show and we had boxes upon boxes of his books. When the demand for them dropped off, they were offered, free, to any employees that wanted them. I wished I still had them just for the nostalgia value.

That sounds very good! The chorizo I've used has always been very oily. Wouldn't that soak though the crust?

You can par cook the chorizo, drain most of the fat and then use it.

TS, Gypsy- These taco spices are for ground beef tacos, right? For Carne Asada, I put skirt steak in a bag/dish and pour a can of pickeled carrots and jalapenos over it, add some Mexican oregano, give it a mix and let it sit a few hours or overnight. If I want to add a little color, I add achiote...

Thanks. That's what I normally do, but I've never baked it at high heat after.

May I inquire about the next step in your Pulled Chicken Noodle soup?

What kind of noodles?

Holly
I'll use fresh vegetables since, the ones used for seasoning will lose its crispness.

As far as noodles; they can add their own since folks complain about what type they like.....

Valentine dinner

Picked up some 14oz filets from Harris teeter. Whipped up some herb butter. Marsala mushroom risotto and sautéed spinach for sides. My best work yet!

I hate these photos, especially on an empty stomach! That looks great! Compound butter even! Marsala mushroom risotto, I may have to try that myself!

Thanks fellas.

TS I substituted the Marsala instead of white wine in a recipe I've been using for years. I don't think I'll go back!

Mark it was a 1/4 cup butter, and a TBSP each of Thyme and Majoram. Pinch of garlic powder and used a mixer to whip it up. It really made the filets pop.

Agree, I wanted to control the sodium levels so it seemed logical to combine a bunch of spices instead of buying the packaged stuff.
