Rex and Ty's Blog

By

    This blog is about a father and son who share a passion for cooking.  We have never owned or operated a restaurant nor been to culinary school but we can operate a stove or grill and we can read a recipe.  Both of us are quite competitive and often boast to each other about our cooking creations.  We live a few states a part so often a simple picture sent  via text message will stir a pretty big response.  We have decided to leave our comfort zones and try to make meals that are new to us, restaurant quality and made in average kitchens like we both use.  We know how we select these items will evolve over time but our method of execution will remain the same.  We will stick to the recipe as written, only "tweaking" the recipe to our taste later on.

It was just a platter !

By
    There was a platter in some of my grandmothers things that my father had brought home years ago. There is a picture of a turkey on the face of the platter. It is still in fair condition considering that I am sure grandma used it a lot. We celebrated every holiday and lots of Sundays eating at her house. And since she didn't have a lot of "stuff" stored around in her small house, I'm sure I have seen it setting on the table with hams, turkeys or meat loafs to be served.      It wasn't until I turned it over that the true value of this platter was revealed to me! No it wasn't a makers mark from a fine china company in Japan or Germany. Nothing to convince me that this was valuable fine china. It was a piece of adhesive tape right in the middle of the back. Written in grandma's hand writing was a note. It read, From Mary Kathryn and Robert Lee, 1953. It was a gift to her from my parents in the year that I was born. Priceless!     The first thing I d...

Cooking at 7200

By
     I recently I drove to Laramie Wyoming to visit my son and daughter in law. As usual, when we get together we cook. We try new techniques  and recipes that we think will compete or beat restaurant meals. I believe that we were successful with our attempts this time. Although it took me awhile to adjust to cooking at a high altitude. It takes a longer time or hotter temp to complete your dish. First up, Ty.     Ty was anxious to show me a new technique. He used a Sous Vide to cook a Prime Rib Roast. A Sous Vide device brings your dish to a perfect temperature in a vacuum sealed bag in water and holds it there until you are ready. In this case it was a rib roast. After reaching the assigned temp he then seasoned the roast and seared all sides to finish. For a beef eater this was outstanding. I can see a Sous Vide device in my kitchen soon.     I had a Cooks Country magazine from Feb/Mar 2020 with me to try some new recipes. I made their It...

Home School: Home Ec (Guest Blogger, Lilyanna)

     Dang it! Every restaurant is closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and I really wanted some Mexican style chips and salsa. I told papa about this conundrum and his solution was to go online and find a recipe to make our own.      We found a recipe on YouTube from Laura Vitale, called Restaurant Style Salsa . We added Jalapeno and Serrano peppers instead of just Jalapeno peppers. I was worried that the extra peppers would be too spicy, especially for my mom. We also used lemon instead of lime. I was nervous that the lemon would change the flavor for the worse but that changed quickly after I tried the salsa.      After I served the salsa to the whole family, my papa, Rex, told me that I was going to write a guest blog! I was thrilled as I had asked before if I could do one but never actually made anything. Me being a seventh grader I was worried that nobody would want to read it or it wouldn't be good enough for the blog.   ...
