Mr. X?s Leftovers

Girlicious - Leftovers ???
2008-07-10 01:57:00 Nikki Flores? - Leftovers [not Girlicious]As many of you may know already the debut album for new girl group Girlicious was pushed back for August! Their first single "Like Me" didn't have the impact it needed to start the girls off. A new single was said to be dropping soon. A newly leaked track titled "Leftovers" has arrived but we weren't sure if it's the girls of Girlicious or Nikki Flores. It stands as a mystery artist for now. Either way still a good track so check it out!!DL:Mystery Artist? - LeftoversDL Link 2:HERE(WHAT DID YOU THINK?? THANKS ARE APPRECIATED)

First They Cheered When He Wiped His Nose, Now They Bid on His Leftovers
2008-04-25 01:47:00 The Obamatons are not fainting as much as they used to, but they are still blinded by the awesomeness that is Barack Obama. They cheered his nose wiping ability, and following his request to just eat his waffles, some are bidding on what he didn’t eat: The price tag eBay bidders settled on for a waffle served to ? and half-consumed by ? presidential candidate Barack Obama was at least $20,100. The auction was shut down and removed from eBay before anyone could bid any higher. The waffle in question was the one referenced by Obama on Monday when the senator responded to a reporter?s question about Jimmy Carter?s meeting with Hamas by asking: ?Why is it that I can?t just eat my waffle?? ?I guess one of my employees must have taken it and had an idea that they were going to do something with it,? the diner?s owner, Charles LeStrange, told CNN?s Jeanne Moos. It wasn’t one of the employees. It was a capitalist minded American who recognized opportunity when it knocked: But...

Leftovers
2008-03-17 11:58:00 I put some leftover sambal sauce to good use tonight. I deep fried pomfret first. Then cooked up more onions and garlic and added the leftover sauce to create a spicy sauce for the fried fish. I must say that deep frying is hard, messy work. I don't think I will be deep frying for a good while.There's just no good way to present cooked whole fish!Notice there are still squid in the sambal!!I have to say that I would have preferred to steam the pomfret as it was really fresh but David likes spicy food. I could have vetoed him but seeing that I have sambal left, I decided to put it to good use.For vegetable, I stir fried some celery with shrimps. Soy sauce just wouldn't be the right complement so I added a dash of sea salt instead and it was good to go. I think I've developed an instinct when it comes to cooking!Stir fried celery with shrimps

Cooking with Leftovers - Tandoori Chicken with Steamed Potatoes
2008-02-26 10:45:00 Though I am immensely interested in cooking something nice and healthy for myself over weeknights, its almost always never possible. Simply because I am lazy or blame it on tiredness. In such situations, there is a place that we order take out from called Surabhi Restaurant. Once, I ordered tandoori chicken kabab as an appetizer for dinner. There was quite a lot leftover and I just stashed it in the fridge, thinking I will deal with it the next day.Around 5-6 pieces of frozen tandoori kabab stood staring at me next day morning and I briefly looked at the vegetable tray only to find some good old (literally!) potatoes in there. Idea struck and here is what I came up with.Tandoori Chicken with Steamed PotatoesWhat I Used:Tandoori Chicken - 5-6 piecesPotatoes - 2 mediumOnion - 1Chilly powder - 1 tspChicken masala - 2 tspSalt - to tasteFresh coriander leaves - for garnishingHow I Made It:1.

Leftovers
2008-02-13 04:11:00 Leftovers, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. I already used this same photo at image - ination, my 365 blog, but I liked it so much (plus I haven’t really gone anywhere today) I thought I’d use it here too. If you look closely you can see something written on the pizza box… those are lyrics to a song I heard on the radio at the restaurant. I wanted to remember them to look up later, which I did thanks to writing them down. The inventory… pizza, as mentioned above, milk and chai mix, chinese food, and tomato soup. I ate the leftover Thai food that had been in there for lunch today. Tasty. Tomorrow we pack it up in Atlanta and head to Philadelphia. It’s been beautiful here… blue skies, warmer temperatures. What we’ve seen of Georgia we like. It’s quite pretty and the people have been awesome… very warm and wonderfully friendly.

Farmer's Market Leftovers...and what I made!
2008-02-12 17:22:00 Dinner! Grilled radicchio, sauted shitake mushrooms, sauteed dandelion greens and swiss chardIt seems like so long ago that I went to the Farmer's Market and came back with bags (earth friendly reusable - of course) of fresh veggies and boat shrimp. But it has really been less than a week. I went through the refrigerator yesterday and got out all of the food that remaining from last Wednesday's trip and knew that was about to be dinner! Sauteed dandelion and swiss chardOrganic Shitake MushroomsWe had some dandelion greens and swiss chard that I sauteed with olive oil and garlic, shitake mushrooms that I sauteed in butter, tomato and mozzarella (fresh from Paesano's), and a head of radicchio which T. grilled and we ate with balsamic vinegar. Mozzarella and Tomato Salad with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and fancy olivesThe radicchio was my absolute favorite. I love the flavor anyway but once it was grilled it seemed not quite so bitter but still with the crunchy, sharp tas...

£8 billions worth of food wasted! What to do with leftovers?
2008-01-14 23:26:00 I read that astonishing figure in the paper today...I found it really depressing! As I mentioned in my "Poule au Pot" post last week, I was brought up on saving and re-using leftovers mroe often than not. And without going to extremes like keeping 1/4 of a dryish lemon in a Tupperware for months in the fridge (don't laugh, my mum does that) we do pretty well I hope.One dish I find brilliant to finish leftover roast beef is my mum's tarte a la viande (meat tart) . It was a regular at the dinner table on a Monday night. I haven't made it for ages, but simply because we tend to eat more casserole beef at the moment. All you need is:1 shortcrust pastry a few slices of cold roast beef (5 or 6)1 can of chopped tomatoes a large handful of parsley1 onion salt and pepper1 eggRoll your pastry to 1 cm deepline a tart dish with greasproof paper and place your pastry on topRoughly cut the beef in stripsTransfer into a food processor and chop finelyFinely chopped the onionGently fry in a litt...

Get Ready for Some Baseball Leftovers
2007-12-05 15:39:00 It's almost two weeks after Thanksgiving and the Mets are about ready to get some leftovers. The hype surrounding the Mets ability to get a top notch pitcher has quickly faded into oblivion. We started November with dreams of Johann Santana and Dan Haren. We soon switched to visions of Erik Bedard or Dontrelle Willis.Now we've been woken up from our slumber with the cold breeze of reality. The Mets are going to be stuck with leftovers.Now nothing is over until its over, but let's be frank, the Mets are getting phased out of every major discussion surrounding a top notch pitcher. The good part about that is the teams we're dealing with are probably wanting one of our core players like Jose Reyes or David Wright, and the Mets are unwilling to part with them. That I can agree with.The bad part is the Mets are going to try and overcome our shortcomings last year with mediocre arms like Livan Hernandez, Bartolo Colon, or even Freddy Garcia. I hope the Mets don't fool themselves into...

Dealing with Leftovers
2007-12-02 00:46:00 The inspiration for this week?s blog is from my friend and co-worker, Loretta, who suggested that I write about what to do with Thanksgiving leftovers. Hum, since I rarely cook, I don?t usually deal with leftovers, but after pondering the leftover thought, I figure there has to be a lot of correlations we can draw from a Thanksgiving feast to Thanksgiving leftovers in our own lives, especially in the realm of relationships.Relationships at their peak can certainly be likened to a feast. They taste great, look great, and satisfy. When relationships break, however, we?re certainly left with a lot of leftovers in our lives such as memories both good and bad. What we do with those leftovers is pivotal as we move forward. We can either take those leftovers and recreate something just as wonderful as the first feast, or we can leave them in the cold refrigerators of our hearts to rot and grow mold. The choice is up to us.My fondest remake of Thanksgiving turkey leftovers is from my almost...

A classic with leftovers
2007-11-25 22:56:00 Yes, like a lot of others who have leftover turkey, I have been trying to find creative ways to use it up. Today, I had some more company, who wanted to try my leftovers. I did need to add some creative touches to make sure that the food was presentable.My turkey this year turned out to be very good. I had brined it and cooked it with stuffed apples. So I was trying to figure out how to use the leftovers without too much fuss. Well, one stopgap in Indian food is the makhani or tikka masala base. Its comforting creamy flavors make it a surefire success with anything you can think of, so why not left over turkey. Here is how I made the sauce,Makhani Sauce for Leftover TurkeyServes 10Ingredients2 tbsp oil1 tsp cumin seeds1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajowan)1 onion finely chopped1 tsp finely grated ginger2 green chillies, minced3 pods garlic, minced1 cup crushed tomatoes3/4 cup sour creamsalt to taste1 tbsp tandoori masala1 tsp kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves)1/2 cup light cream1 tsp gara...

If you freeze the turkey leftovers within 2 days, they will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you reheat them, make sure the temperature rises to at least 165 degrees.

Madonna’s disgraced brother is eating leftovers

TECHNOLOGY: Cooking Up More Uses for the Leftovers of Biofuel Production
2007-08-08 15:26:00 The baking tins and muffin cups lining the countertops in a corner of Ronald Holser?s cluttered laboratory were filled with curious substances resembling angel food cakes and loaves of bread. But Mr. Holser did not advise eating them. The concoctions were prototypes for biodegradable weed barriers and sticky films intended to hold grass seeds on the ground long enough to germinate. If Mr. Holser, a research chemist, and his colleague Steven F. Vaughn, a plant physiologist, are successful, they will have found more than ecologically friendly ways to fight weeds and grow grass. They will have found innovative uses for a byproduct of the production of biodiesel fuel, glycerol. This, in turn, could help transform the biodiesel industry into something that more closely resembles the petroleum industry, where fuel is just one of many profitable products.?Just like petroleum refineries make more than one product that are the feedstock for other industries, the same will have to be true for...

The Meal using Leftovers
2007-07-04 03:53:00 Most the dishes here were cooked using leftovers. Not leftovers leftovers. *blur* We don't take leftover food. The ingredients used were part of the ingredients used for other dishes. I didn't want to waste them so I used them here.Let's see what we have here .....Snakehead (fish) marinated with a teaspoon of light soy sauce, wrapped with a basil leaf, dipped with batter and pan fried. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside with a light aroma from the Basil. Reserve egg ... have you seen white egg yolk and yellow egg white? No egg white were used here. Got my son thinking which bird lay this type of egg. Nah, he knew I made it!These flowers were really Squid. The squid was cut into thick rings and sliced close to the edge then stuff with minced pork with some fish paste. Decorate with vegetable and steamed till cooked. Add a pinch of salt before you steam it if you like. The leaves here were (slightly) pan fried Basil. Crunchy!

Tidbits, Trash And Leftovers
2007-04-28 02:31:00 I started jotting down a lot of different things over the last week that I intended to become blog posts, but they never made it. So, I figured I would just post them all today in lieu of anything else. Grade A ?round file? material I?m sure this will all be?Shop TalkI was treated to another great philosophical discussion at lunch yesterday. We began talking about many different things and it ended with In The Office Two Times A Week Guy calling someone a ?nut hole,? which is apparently the combination of a nut job and an a?hole. It doesn?t seem to be as offensive and we all took to it immediately. After lunch, we continued the discussion (which means we tried to talk Female Coworker out of going to HR because we kept saying nut hole in front of her) as we attempted to explain that a nut (as in nuts and bolts) really does have a hole. Because that is true, it means a nut hole is a real thing, kind of like a donut hole, only the opposite and with much less mass. This led to me...

Lovely Furniture from Leftovers
2007-03-08 01:43:01 We Chair"Save the environment", "Go Green", "Conservation," are phrases one often hears. It got me thinking, am I doing anything to conserve? I ruminated, and introspected, and one thing led to another and... well... I got online to see if anyone out there was doing anything interesting with conservation. And I found Dr. Singh Intrachooto and his brainchild, OSISU. Osisu is Finnish for "doing more than one's best." And Dr. Intrachooto is aiming to do just that with his furniture line which is made up of "contemporary vernacular designs,"-- that is what they say on their home page. Chair WalkerWow!! I got looking and was hooked. All the furniture made by the company is recycled; yes you got it right-recycled.

The modus operandi is that the company sources scrap from the various indu...

Tis the season for holiday leftovers! Chances are, your ref
2007-01-13 07:03:01 Tis the season for holiday leftovers! Chances are, your refrigerator has been getting some extra use over the last 5-6 weeks, as the leftover Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes gave way to Christmas ham and yule log (what is yule log, anyway?). You probably didn?t notice your refrigerator working extra hard because, frankly, your refrigerator probably doesn?t get noticed much at all. It?s a huge piece of hardware that drives a big chunk of the energy consumption in your house (2 to 3 times its purchase price if you keep it for a decade), but chances are you only notice it when it doesn?t work. And is it really any surprise? Like most appliances, refrigerators spent much of the 70s, 80s and 90s being improved in functionality and energy efficiency, but not so much in terms of aesthetics. Used to be white, avocado and butterscotch. Now we get white, black and stainless steel. Options? Do you want top and bottom or side-by-side? Ice/water dispenser?...that?s about it. But have no...
Did You Know: The Best to Do with Hot Leftovers
2007-01-11 17:22:01 Did you know that refrigerating hot leftovers is the best way to avoid spoilage and invasion of bacteria, in contrast to what previously claimed? It was always thought that leftovers, especially the hot ones, should be cooled at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.

I mean, of the ones who are going to give me something, when did I turn into the one who someone says, "Ah, yes, she'll love Bain de Walgreens, and, in this festive Christmas packaging conveniently located by the register, too."?) - What, exactly, comprises Floam? - Why did Santa think this was a god idea? Santa is slapping Santa's head right about now. - I never did find knock-off Wallabees. Hello, two pair$ from Clark$. Welcome to our home. Please know you are at risk from being left behind as young feet grow quickly. Don't despair, you will always be part of our family as you are too valuable to give away. -If I fold my arms, nod my head and blink, will the tree un-decorate itself and go outside? -Speaking of tree disposal, remember this picture last year where the sign said "holiday" trees, and, someo...

I actually found the following link with names of songs for all 50 states. It is typical that the list does not include a song with D.C. in the title. This is a few days late, but Mondesi?s House has a fantastic list that ranks the best Pittsburgh athletes by uniform number. For example, Dave Parker narrowly edges out Willie Parker for the best Pittsburgh athlete who wore the number 39.After driving 1345 miles on the hockey roadtrip, I have only put 35 miles on my car since I returned last Tuesday.Yes, I?m still upset that I started Tim Rattay over Trent Green or David Garrard. I am also not very happy with Sammy Morris.
