*drooling* How do you make them? I mean, how do you prepare them?

Cut bacon strips into thirds.
Wrap bacon around the chicken liver, secure with a toothpick. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes.

Andrew did pretty well with his kid tho---I liked it when he called the kid chef. What I was waiting for was Spike to take a kids chef's hat.

OMG! I was thinking the exact same thing! I figured since the kids were explaining what they had cooked, spike's little helper was either going to sport his own or snatch Spike's.

That should make wonderful appetizers for watching TC!!
I might try that Sunday on the family tho, as a Try-out!

Some people put a touch of mustard on the liver before wrapping, but another nice twist is to add a slice of water chestnut.

Again, with my cooking style, it's something insanely easy but tastes fantastic!

Get a pot of water and put both cauliflower and broccoli. You're going to let it rise to a boil with the veggies inside (this will obviously take a lot longer than just boiling water, but you want the veggies to actually be a little over coocked so they're very soft.

Drain the water out and mash the cauliflower and broccoli as you would with mashed potatoes. Season it with salt and pepper. Put in some cream softened cream cheese and mix it in thouroughly.

Have a bowl of flower waiting. Depending on your tastes, you can either leave the flower plain (since the veggie/creamcheese mixture is already seasoned), or you can add either paprika for a more classic taste, or even chili powder or cheyenne if you want a little kick!

This WILL BE STICKY! take some of the veggie/creamcheese mixture and put it in the flower. Make sure it's well covered with the flower as you form it into a patties.

Have a pan hot and ready to go with some vegitable oil (you can use olive oil if you prefer). Then, fry the patties until they're a golden brown and a little crispy around the edges.

You can eat them as is, or even dip them in ranch dressing!

Thanks, and I dare say you'll get comments on your caveat

Sounds wonderful -- only for me, I would need to add two final steps to the recipe --

Take double dosage of Lipitor to counteract massive cholesterol overdose.

Put ambulance on auto dial in anticipation of emergency need.

(I so-o-o-o miss the days when I could eat liver. Whether beef or chicken, I just love it. )

I thought liver was supposed to be good for you?

(I hate the stuff, so I know next to nothing about it)

[Pita]

Radyms and Mluv have you tried chicken livers stuffed with dates, wrapped in bacon and finished with an apricot jam/horseradish glaze (could also be used as a dipping sauce)? I can't remember the exact name. Something like Devils on Horseback or Angels on Horseback.
Maybe it was the Devil and the Angel Ran Away With Each Other. I just can't remember.


To. Die. For.

Oh moderation---have a few, you just can't eat the whole plate. I love beef liver with plenty of onions and bacon!!!

Okay, I'm making the spaghetti a la carusso with extra wine on the side, wrapped in bacon and the ones Pita just mentioned, after all of this I shouldn't want anything else!

Oh, yes! Beef liver! My grandmother always used beef liver for her killer chopped liver, and I always found it sweeter and better-tasting than chicken livers.

It's no stranger than the fact that I worship the very ground Drew walks on, and he's a huge fan of the Orioles and Ravens. I even go to Charm City, a town I can barely tolerate, because that's his home.

Now, Phil and I are going to "Iron Man", and then we're meeting Drew at Nationals Park to see the, now red hot, Nationals play the Pirates. I'll have a couple of chili dogs, some Boardwalk fries, and a couple of brews for all youse guys. That should be really heart smart, but, at least, I won't be smoking.

Catch youse folks on the flip-flop, and I'll give all here the 411.

[NiCi]

You a Terp, too, NiCi? Class of 1973 myself. Terrapins rule!

Yup, Class of 1988 and 1989! Dad worked at UMD, got a Mom Terp, Bro Terp, SIL Terp, and lotsa little terplet wanna-be nephews! We loves our Terp Football!!! (Testudo peeking from his shell!)
