Are you using the Butterball deep fryer you got for your turkey one year?View attachment 5043016
Takes a bit to separate it all to get the flower in there so it spreads out nice in the deep fryer.
Sure am. It still has peanut oil in it which seems to cook hotter than vegetable oil. Made the onion good and crispy.Are you using the Butterball deep fryer you got for your turkey one year?
Nice I thought it looked like a really nice size and a great price.Sure am. It still has peanut oil in it which seems to cook hotter than vegetable oil. Made the onion good and crispy.
That's not surprising. I've eaten there one time and never went back. I thought the food was terrible. We did get a Blooming Onion that we couldn't eat because it was like a grease soaked sponge. I showed the waitress while squeezing the grease out and she didn't charge us for it at least. The steak was an embarrassment as well. The place was busy with customers that seemed to be enjoying their food so I guess I'm just a food snob. I don't eat out often and I hate chain restaurants like Outback, Applebees, Olive Garden, etc...Only outback left here is in Niagara Falls.
is it pap?
Damn. That's my kind of meal. Maybe a side of broccoli or something to push all that meat through.Today is sort of midway between Thanksgiving and the Christmas holiday. So today, the campaign is a rib roast. Found a 3-pounder, choice, eleven per. Instrumented for a slow roast. Nice marbling.

I julienned (@Metasynth, acceptable?) three mushies. I love them, but they tend to give me headaches. So this is extreme kitchen athletics. Note knife, Takagi (Tosa) blue steel “honyaki” santoku in blue 2. Awesome sharp.

Gravy is also from scratch. As are the mashies; a recipe from Annie I almost did not modify. She adds some roasted garlic. But for me, I adore instant mashies, and yet I waited to make’m fresh from a Russet. Gravy uses chicken stock engoodened with a roux.

Merry pre-Christmas RIU!
?it's not a reuben if it's made with pastrami.
Some people claim a reuben is made with corned beef. If it's made from pastrami it's called a Rachel by some. I just took a look at Katz's Deli menu and they give you an option of corned beef, brisket, pastrami, or turkey when you order a reuben.
I always thought a Reuben was pastrami, but there aren't a lot of deli's around here. I don't know what the Reuben rules are.Some people claim a reuben is made with corned beef.

I'm so confused.
