It was thick and juicy, I toasted it twice. Once after EVOO both sides, a little black pepper and shredded Parmesan Reggiano, then again after chopping up some fresh basil, a tomato, a jalapeno and some grated Gruyere Cheese and putting all that on too! YUM! :-)

A link? I'm not sure which you mean. The Beef Mechado recipe? I'm
not sure how much I liked it, but it wasn't bad. I'm sure there are
better out there.
Here it is:

https://panlasangpinoy.com/filipino-pinoy-food-tomato-sauce-beef-mechado-recipe/

Looking at the recipe, it's a good one! However, I've never had it
with beef except on the Fort McHenry and Essex. Beef then was potroast
cut beef and the picture looks more like that as it shreds up a bit.

Out in Manila and Subic, it was pork based.

The potatoes would be the common ones to the area. They are very like
Yukon Golds (waxy, hold their shape). Do not use Idaho types here.

There are only 3 things a bit off from what I have had and one of them
is standard 'American market substitute'.

1. Lemon there would have been Calamansi for sure. That's a fruit that
actually does transport well but hasn't caught on for some reason.
It's a citrus and similar to lemons and limes. the juice of 1/2 a
Small lime would mix with just a small slice of lemon rind and be about
right.

2. The garlic is Americanized. With this long cooking, the 3 cloves
might as well not be used. Make it 5-6 and you'd be about right for
how the dish is made.

3. The 'something missing' factor of Filpeno cooking (grin). Made
this way would be fine but I've never seen an actual Filipeno dish like
this that didn't add about 1 TB of a mild vinegar to soften the meat.
It's added at the start and the optimal one would have been Datu Puti
brand 'Cane vinegar' (from sugar cane).

Now those are the definates. Most Filipene recipes however aren't
(sorry Ophelia) 'Ophelia bland'. They'd have added chile powder to
'kick it a notch'. On the ship when we had it, they used some RoTel
tomato cans as part of the tomato base. Worked fine and it's not
supposed to be a 'blast your socks off' dish.

I'd give it 3 stars as listed, add 1/2 for added vinegar and 1/2 for
use of RoTel (or a powdered chile) to make it 4 star. I call that
plenty good for home eating! Economical too. If you want it more
'saucy', double the tomato sauce to a full can then add the RoTel (with
juice). Can up the potato with no damage to 2 large Yukons.

6 servings, it shows the smaller meat uses overseas per portion.
Double the potato and you have 8 servings. Will freeze well.

Cost should be about 8$ meat (less if pork butt by 1/2) and 2.50 or so
for the rest. 1.5$ per serving if beef with added potato. 93cents per
serving if using pork and added potato.

Smile, Pork butt is on sale here for 97cents a lb. That would make
this dish 63cents a serving. Pocket the change you'd have otherwise
spent and use it to get a new car filter or something... Even better,
get your little girl some cute scrunchies!

I typically only buy Idaho, but on my shopping trip today, I did buy
some Russets as well.. or are those not "waxy"? I'm not sure.. but I
would like a good potato for stews that doesn't fall apart.

Thanks for the input! I might try it again with your suggestions.
Certainly not with the orange again that I substituted. I did think
that chili powder would have helped at the time; I wish I added that.

A Russet is a Idaho spud. You want a red potato, a white potato or a
Yukon Gold potato to hold up during extended simmering/boiling. Russets
and Idaho spuds ain't it. Them's roasting 'n mashing potatoes.

Grin, yes. Each useful in the right spot. I find the Yukon Gold to be
superior in stews to regular white/red but white/red will work ok.

Those would be floury, sorry. Good for baking or mashed though. Yukon
Gold, or red or white thin skinned. Yukon gold optimal.

Gojujang (sp?) would be optimal. It's a Korean hot paste but you can
use a standard powder you have handy and be fine. I'd start with 1
heaping teaspoon of a medium heat one? Taste and adjust after it's
been bubbling for 30 minutes or so. If you like milder, use 1/2 that
then adjust upwards.

BTW if you can't find the Datu Puti 'Cane vinegar' (likely if you have
minimal Filipeno folks about), Apple cider vinegar will do well enough.
It adds a touch of sweetness and is right strength for this. Flavor
slightly off but I don't think enough to matter. At that amount to
this large of a dish, there won't be any 'vinegar flavor' that you can
taste, but it will soften the meat.

"MAKING SENSE OF COMMON POTATO TERMS
How do waxy and floury potatoes differ? And what’s a “new” potato?
Waxy potatoes display a creamy, firm texture when cooked, thanks to
their low starch and high water content. Waxy potatoes also keep their
shape when cooked, making them ideal for boiling, steaming and roasting.

Floury potatoes are low in water content; and by the time of harvest,
most of their sugar has converted to starch. This leads to a dry, fluffy
cooked texture accentuated by baking and mashing. Floury potatoes also
fry well, as low sugar levels mean less excessive browning. Red skinned
potatoes, Yukon gold, white skinned potatoes are generally considered
waxy. That is, they have more firm flesh. Russets are considered
floury and are commonly used for baking and mashing."

Hope this helps.

Potatoes are starchy. Complex carbohydrates. YOur body converts the

Actually, he did. When potatoes are growing, the plant makes sugar and then
converts it to starch. If the potato is dug before it is mature, some of that sugar
has not yet been converted. Hence, those tiny "new" or "creamer" potatoes taste
a little sweet.

most of their sugar has converted to starch. This leads to a dry, fluffy
cooked texture accentuated by baking and mashing. Floury potatoes also
fry well, as low sugar levels mean less excessive browning. Red skinned
potatoes, Yukon gold, white skinned potatoes are generally considered
waxy. That is, they have more firm flesh. Russets are considered floury
and are commonly used for baking and mashing."
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll have to try one of those for my next stew.

I've always just bought Idaho potatoes. What is the benefit of Russet
potatoes, over Idaho?

And Nebraska license plates say "cornhusker state."
Their corn is nothing special, they just grow a lot of it.

You can get pretty much anything you want if you're willing to pay a
few dollars extra and someone else doesn't already have it. Speaking
of potatoes my NY plate says Idaho. Some years back I was going to
retire in Idaho, but after thinking it over I felt it was too far for
anyone I know to ever visit, and was very isolated. I purchased a 98
acre property. But then people in CA were wanting to retire to Idaho
so was very easy for me to sell it for twice what I paid for it, sold
in a week. A gorgeous property in the panhandle, Bonner County,
but I didn't know a soul there.

Still far too many letters. We don't have those foot wide license plates
like I've seen in Europe. I can't speak for other states, but seven letters
is the max allowed here in Tennessee.

Yes, Nebraska is a state, I've included a map with the state circled.

Here in Tennessee, it's seven letters as I've stated earlier but if you
use a dash, that counts as a letter. Such as 123-ABC.

I don't know where that idea comes from. I have considered getting one
but I refuse to pay the extra money. They charge $310 for them here, and
that is for the plate and there is the usual permit fee as well. I have
considered going the other way and arranging for a veteran's plate. They
are free.

"Roundup st8" then?
Still far too many letters. We don't have those foot wide license plates
like I've seen in Europe. I can't speak for other states, but seven letters
is the max allowed here in Tennessee.
RNDUPST
New York allows eight letters.
Why is Tennesee the round up state?
Tennessee is "The Volunteer State". God only knows why Bruce is yapping
about Roundup on personalized plates.

I shortened my wife's plate; KTHYKNTS
Mine was easy; IDAHO98
I actually didn't retire to Idaho.
Would have been easier; NY98.
But I kept Idaho, about weekly I get asked if I'm a potato farmer.

I've always just bought Idaho potatoes. What is the benefit of Russet
potatoes, over Idaho?
Idaho potatoes _are_ russet potatoes. Russet is a variety; Idaho is a
growing location.

Of course it is. Idaho potato growers want people to think their
potatoes are something special.

Sure, Idaho is an ideal potato-growing region, but getting people
to recognize russet potatoes as "Idaho potatoes" is pure marketing.

Nope, not entirely. Just that Idaho became famous for them first.
They grow other types there that are also of the 'russet type' plus
whites and reds. Feel free to get russets if the bag that says Idaho
costs more (normally same price here).

All kinds of potatoes can be Idaho potatoes. The name just indicates
where they were grown and there's nothing special about them being grown
in Idaho. They are just as tasty grown elsewhere.

It's just a large or main crop in that state.

Maine grows a lot of potatoes too and includes russets. I think Maine
potatoes are better than Idaho's, not that they are a better potato
just they are less often diseased. There are many potato diseases.

"MAKING SENSE OF COMMON POTATO TERMS
How do waxy and floury potatoes differ? And what’s a “new” potato?
Waxy potatoes display a creamy, firm texture when cooked, thanks to
their low starch and high water content. Waxy potatoes also keep
their shape when cooked, making them ideal for boiling, steaming
and roasting.
Floury potatoes are low in water content; and by the time of
harvest, most of their sugar has converted to starch. This leads to
a dry, fluffy cooked texture accentuated by baking and mashing.
Floury potatoes also fry well, as low sugar levels mean less
excessive browning. Red skinned potatoes, Yukon gold, white skinned
potatoes are generally considered waxy. That is, they have more
firm flesh. Russets are considered floury and are commonly used for
baking and mashing."
Hope this helps.
Jill
Thanks! I'll have to try one of those for my next stew.
I've always just bought Idaho potatoes. What is the benefit of
Russet potatoes, over Idaho?
"Idaho potatoes are a collective breed of potatoes whereas russet
potatoes are a particular breed of potato. Idaho potatoes are strictly
grown in the state of Idaho but russets can be grown anywhere with
familiar environmental conditions. Idaho potatoes are good for baking
but russet potatoes are ideal for mashing and frying."

Many 'Idaho' potatoes are Russets, but not all.

It's customary to cite your sources, so that people can judge the
quality of the information:

You should read my novel.
The Narcissist Personality Disorder sufferer says!! "Read my novel! Pay
attention to ME!"
Hey Michael! Did you read my novel yet to your daughter?
John Kuthe could read her some of the naughty bits from my book. He
could tell her, "I know some of this seems kinda grown up, but I can tell
that you're more mature than most girls your age."

You're way more intelligent than the resident "hemmingway." His only
big lottery win so far has been scoring Kuthe. Not sure if he is the
top or bottom. I wouldn''t touch that link.. something nastey could
rub off on you. So far he has a readership of 2.

You do know he is the oBOOBBO flamer in the mug shots and he brought
Kuthe here and dumped him off. Now he just checks in and out of here
to keep their love quarrel going. They are both as pathetic as it gets.

Be prepared to find he's just as interested in young girls sexuality as

I care little about anyone's conjectures about my sexual interests.
I'm not applying for any positions involving contact with persons
of any age, male or female. You're in a tiny minority of folks who
find it poorly written. There are all kinds of reasons folks dislike it,
but that's not one of them. What are your favorite books? How
about the top ten that come to mind? There's what some might
see as a paucity of narrative description because it's very heavy on
dialog. Perhaps you'd like to call attention to prose that you find
poorly written.

Sex between young persons *is* alluded to, but there's no sex
between adults and anyone under the legal age of consent.
Winter is within two weeks of her twentieth birthday when the
tale begins. Perhaps you were a late bloomer, or never really
fully bloomed at all. When I was 16, I got together with a 15 YO
who turned 16 exactly two months before I turned 17, and the
sex was phenomenal. I'm fine with post pubertal sex between
young folks as long as it is consensual, and not exploitative,
and in my case the GF was the assertive one. In fact, it was the
case in all three of my cohabiting relationships that the female
initiated both the sexual and romantic aspect.

You're a spinster, Jill. Whatever you failed at relationship wise in
the past, you never really got back onto the horse. I celebrated
my 35th anniversary last April. You simply don't have standing
to critique my sexual relationships. Odds are you will never
experience the physical adoration of your body that my wife
does every day, and you know that. You missed your window
to succeed in that way. I'm not saying that I was more
deserving; perhaps it was just that I was luckier. You, lady Jill,
are a spinster, and a smug one. It's kind of pathetic.
