I just ate but now I'm hungry again.

I am sure its tasty but it looks like what my dog puked up last week.

[delcecchi]

Yeah, I was thinking that, like some of the stuff I cook, the presentation could use some help....

To start, I would serve it in a shallow bowl, like many restaurants do for similar things, so the broth isn't so visible.

german food....

Is NOT the most eye appealing I agree.

I don't know what they're talking about! It looks awesome! But I have some of this going on too. LOL

I will NEVER claim to have presentation skills with food.... But as long as it tastes good and people approve,,, thats my first priority.

Roger that.

looks dandy but just had another batch of sunnies and a bottle of char... next time you make that drive over here and use my kitchen!

[Fish Head]

I'm sure it tasted great. What all did you put in there?

I make a stew/soup that looks like a brownish green mush.

It's our signature steakhouse soup that I bring to work, but puree a bunch of veggies and other extra ingredients to round out my nutrition at lunchtime. No reason to bring multiple tupperwares, and no one will steal it out of the fridge since they have no idea something that looks like it would be SO delicious.

By the way, the pics made me hit up the fridge for some leftovers before bed. Great stuff.

2 cans Progesso White Clam Sauce

2 pounds shelled cooked Mussels

14 ounces raw squid circled

16 ounces baby clams

10 ounces large shelled shrimp

1 large diced yellow onion

3 diced garlic cloves

salt

pepper

Add all above ingredients to large pan and cook on low for 2 hours

PS: Progresso makes a much better sauce than I can.

How did it work, cooking the shrimp that long? I normally put them in at the last minute, if I make something with shrimp.

I was thinking the same thing. It sounds great, but aren't you over cooking some of the seafood? I'm not a chef, but my thought would be that the squid and clams need to cook, but to add the mussles in the last 10-15 minutes and shrimp the last 5 min?

I'm getting hungry again just thinking about this.

[delcecchi]

I have heard that squid needs to cook either a very short time, or a very long time. I don't cook squid so I don't know from personal experience.

Perhaps shrimp is similar.

Len, most of the stuff you post pic's of I have used for catfish bait at one time or another. The tomato bruschetta and the egg plant parm on the other hand, are two simple foods that are near and dear to my heart. Looks like the stuff my mother used to make

late additional spicing.

Keeping with the kitchen sink theme

2 ounce chopped fresh baby spinach

1/2 stewed/roasted red pepper diced.

Eleven hours in a crockpot? Wouldn't that toughen up the seafood?

[Driftless]

9 hours on low

Nice rainy day meal
