These ribs are awesome and very meaty. They are $2,50 per lb. I paid 4.50 per lb for the ones at the party.

The walmart ones are great. I am doing another round tonight cause I personally didnt get but a taste at the party. They went fast.

That's why the alcohol WHACKED you.

Pan seared scallops in a tomato and fresh garden herb sauce.



Works great with any seafood really, shrimp even canned clams. Fast, simple and delicious.

Salt and pan sear your scallops over med heat in a little veg oil and remove. Toss in  six or eight cloves of garlic chopped let brown for a sec. Deglaze with white wine or sherry. Add some cooking pasta water salt pepper squeeze of lemon, dash of hot sauce, dash of Worcestershire sauce.

Put in chop tomatoes, (i had some beautiful Jersey beefsteaks) From the garden fresh chopped basil, oregano, parsley and rosemary. Add mostly basil.

The trick is to only cook the tomatoes and herbs slightly before you add your seafood back to the pan. Then add a few pats of butter and toss till melted a blended. Not to long cause the butter will separate and get greasy instead of adding a creamy finish.

Love it!!!

By far my favorite food bar-none!! Those fried-spring-rolls look great. Summer roll too. Looks like vermicelli and basil-beef. Man I need to get some tomorrow!

Those fresh vibrant flavors and textures. Awesome.

Have you done a pho yet?

[bluesman]

Capp...they remind me of the rolls we had for an appetizer at the Pho restaurant we frequented during the Brutus build.  Man they are fantastic.  Yours look identical.  Did you have some hot chili and hoison sauce with them?

[redbeerman]

Looks yummy Capp.  I've got to get to the Asian grocery, I'm out of all kinds of stuff.  Thinking about maybe a make your own roll party.

 we do the Vietnamese wrap feast a lot. It is fun. Does work great for parties and comes off of a back yard grill great.

Make a bunch of steamed prawn, grilled pork, beef or any manner of Vietnamese item. Then get a bunch of heads of curly leaf lettuce for wrapping, packs rice papers and a few spray bottles and some clean towels. Let the guests reconstitute the rice papers as they want them. Just lay it out on the towel and spray it with water. In a matter of seconds it is ready to go and the excess water soaks into the towel.

Vietnamese food is traditionally eaten warm even room temp sometimes cold, never hot. another convenience for a buffet.

Gota start by making caramelized sugar.

euge, I have made pho and it was good.Just that my broth comes out rich and dark brown havent mastered the way they get the beef broth clear. My pho is good just not very authentic.

Faux pho. (couldn't help it)

Good one, but ya know? the actual pronunciation is more like 'fur'.
