"If you don't have shallots, you can use red wine" - Emeril said that.

[Rabrrrrrr]

I'm watching Emeril, and he was chopping up some shallots and said, "If you don't have shallots, you canuse red wine" and then went silent.

I said, "What the *#@&*&$#? Red wine for shallots?"

And a second or two after I said that out loud, Emeril came back with, "I mean red onion".


:rofl:

1. gotta love the guy

He's kinda dopey sometimes.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I've been coming to the conclusion that I think he's half in the bag

most of the time. Not quite drunk, but I have a feeling that he has a fairly constant stream of alcohol going through the system. Just enough to get him kind of lit, but not incapacitating.

[tjwmason]

4. That's a good sign, to my mind.

Who would listen to any advice on food from a boring puritan?

Appreciation of good drink nearly always goes with appreciation of good food - in my experience.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Darn right!

I have a soup cookbook from a teetotalling Jesuit Brother who cooks for his brotherhood - good recipes, but the writing and the recipes are lacking in liveliness and, I don't want to say they are devoid of joy, but it's close to that. I can't think of or find the word I'm looking for... not boring or tepid, but somewhere around "standard". Uninspired, maybe. I don't know.

24. Julia Child being the perfect example of this..

didn't they do numerous skits on SNL (or somewhere) about that?
I think that Cajun grampa guy (I forgot his name) liked a bit of a nip too. Loved them both...


On edit: I'ts Justin Wilson, isn't it?

[Richardo]

2. What's his take on chorizo = kielbasa?

:hide:

[Bunny]

7. Always stirring up trouble, aren't you?

:D

Maybe next time ask him about corn flake breading for his fried chicken!

:hi: Richardo!

[Gormy Cuss]

25. If you can't find chorizo, a good substitute is

a jar of cocktail franks. Trust me, there's no difference. In fact, cocktail franks are a good substitute for kielbasa, Italian sweet or hot sausage, salami, pepperoni, bratwurst, liverwurst....
:hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. I always use cocktail franks as a substitute for tequila in margaritas

Esp. the barbecue franks.

[Gormy Cuss]

30. What a cool idea.

I'm out of tequila. Maybe I'll make BBQ Cocktail Frank Sunrises.

[anarch]

5. hell, if you're out of pepper, you can just use bourbon

by that logic. I like it!

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Out of salt? Fuck dinner entirely and subsitute with six Martinis.

Then go buy some salt tomorrow.

:rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

16. OMG.

:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Now that my shirt is all wet - thank you very much - I assume

you have a replacement?

[Sugar Smack]

20. For that, I'll dry-clean your shirt.

:applause:

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Thank you!

Now, I'm out of rice for my morning bowl, so get me a bottle of Ouzo.

[Sugar Smack]

22. Breakfast will be an omelette. Wait, no eggs.

Let's just use gin. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[SnohoDem]

19. THAT'S funny

:rofl:

Oh. Except I usually do that.

[Left Is Write]

10. Or if you're into Dean Martin schtick...

you can just have a bowl of bourbon and some crackers.

[madinmaryland]

8. I think that he has been drinking way too much red wine!!

[Left Is Write]

9. LOL!

[KurtNYC]

12. Emeril is a fire hazard

There really is no way to eat something that is 50% booze.

Ask people in New Orleans how they feel about Emeril and you'll get quite an earful. That guy couldn't cook a chestnut roux if he tried (since it can't be done in 20 seconds over high heat like everything he cooks).

[BarenakedLady]

13. Actually I find

That red wine is a perfect substitution for just about anything. ;-)

[KamaAina]

14. He's just carrying on the tradition of the late Justin Wilson

"Put a little bit of that wine on there..." (glug glug glug)

[bamademo]

15. Sounds like Sandra Lee...

That bimbo is always in the bag. "It's Cocktail Time!".

17. She came on later, and I thought, "I wonder if her and Emeril go around

the studio at the end of the day and finish off all the open bottles together?"

:rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

23. I'm shocked!

Is he starting to sound like Julia Childs or The Frugal Gourmet? They love to drink the wine.

[LynneSin]

26. I think I prefer subsituting Red Wine

Only because I hate Shallots AND especially Red Onions

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. How can you hate onions and shallots?

Food from God, baby!!

They are the cowbell of the food world!

[trof]

29. A peanut butter is a good substitute for garlic.

yeah

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. I didn't have chicken stock for a soup tonight, so I used DDT

Couldn't tell the difference!

I also made a dessert that called for caramel, which I didn't have, but I did have napalm, which also has two "a"s. Spicy!! Woo!! Felt like my mouth was on fire. It was great!!
