My Dinners With Vincent #1: Elfo's SpecialPosted on 01.25.10 by Widge @ 7:15 am
Comments on this: 7. Add your own. File Under: My Dinners With Vincent. Taggified as: butter, cookbooks, cooking, Food, garlic, Movies, shrimp, spaghetti, vampires, Vincent Price  And so we're back with another new feature. All will be explained in the video, but the short of it is: how do you get invited to a dinner party hosted by Vincent Price when Mr. Price has not been with us for some years now? I came up with the next best thing. Enjoy. P.S. The cookbook used in this series can be found used here at Amazon. Direct link for the feedreaders. Where to Find Stuff

2.For a non-cook, you did pretty good!
A few suggestions from a former chef:
1) Mushrooms have a LOT of water, so you probably would have been safe to use all 3 large mushrooms because they tend to shrink when cooked.
2) Tongs are your friend! I can't tell if you have some in your spoon caddy there, but if not: get some. Be careful not to scrape non-stick coatings but they make serving slippery things like buttery spaghetti.
3) The purpose of rinsing pasta with cold water is to stop the cooking process so it doesn't get gummy while it sits. It helps to stir or toss the pasta as you rinse it to make sure it's all cooled off (otherwise the center of the pasta-mass stays very hot) and if it's going to sit for a while, drizzle it with olive oil to keep it from clumping.
Looking forward to the rest of the series!

3.I'm actually hungry after that! The band-aids and pepto were a nice touch. Bon apetit! Wait...did I just right ape tit?

4.Scraps: Hey, thanks! And BTW, your URL is freaking awesome.
Wes: If you saw an ape tit sitting askew and fixed it then you indeed righted it. No one should judge you for this.

5.The reason that chefs on the cooking shows never seem to miss the pans is that they too know how to edit video.
Personally, I don't like shrimp, but I know that butter, garlic, 'shrooms and romano over pasta tastes wonderful.
Nice first cooking show!

6.Might I suggest the following drink when you find a recipe pairing for Vincent's "Tales of Terror" from '62. I hear it was a very good year.

1 each lemon and orange peel (each about 3 by 1 1/2 inches)
3 Spanish Queen olives
Pour the sherry, Grand Marnier and vermouth into a mixing glass filled with ice. Express the oils from the lemon and orange peels by twisting (discard the peels). Stir, then strain into a chilled petite cocktail glass. Garnish with the olives.
