Here’s some food porn from the weekend for you. I smoked 55 lbs of turkey breast this past weekend. Did them with cherry wood , half with savory rub and half bbq rub. Time to use some creatively. At Thanksgiving we always enjoy a sausage stuffing with turkey and gravy. Here is that as a deconstructed stuffing sandwich. Construction is savory sage French toast, caramelized onions, rosemary Gouda , more French toast, smoked turkey, rich creamy keto poultry gravy and topped with another savory French toast. It’s a knife and fork sandwich I’ll name it Myles Standwich ? What this lacks in presentation is outweighed by insane flavors. The savory sage French toast with the buttery caramelized onion and thin sausage patty nail the flavor and mouthfeel of the stuffing and the turkey and “gravy” is the bomb. The French toast is made with Aunt Millies 1 net carb wheat bread. I do the gravy with an almond flour rue, heavy cream , cream cheese and Minors chicken stock concentrate.

What have you got for someone with bad acid reflex or an ulcer? I am serious.
What have you got for someone with bad acid reflex or an ulcer? I am serious.
After consulting with the nurse here who also occasionally has a similar problem she has an Rx for the full strength Prilosec (also available OTC in lesser strength).
She also watches her diet and extra spicy foods.
If you suspect an ulcer please get it checked out ASAP for a better diagnosis. If you need more information please ask.

Thank God those things come calorie free.?
Oh yes calorie free....... just shut your eyes and dig in. Somehow this picture did catch my eye, oh I'm sure it is calorie free, the picture that is.
-BUT- for a great GAMEDAY why not cook up a batch and go for it.
When this March in May is over in NE OHIO we will be smack in Memorial Day, graduation and Fourth of July grilling season !

Speaking of grilling.... I'll assume you've noticed "American" Wagu is starting to show up.... But it's buyer beware- and look before you buy. I saw some stuff branded as Wagu- that was probably no better than "choice".... You want A5 Wagu?- You're not going to see it for $20 bucks a pound.
At least the domestic stuff isn't going to set you back $250 bucks a pound...

I guess it's better'n weed spray on those pesky little varmints. ?
I know what dandelion petals taste like from my failed experiment making dandelion wine. My nephew who regularly posts his culinary creations posted his tempura dandelions... We got into a discussion- and you had better not get any of the green stuff underneath the petals into your creation- like the leaves, they're not meant for human consumption. Though there are recipes for dandelion salad- if you're a masochist.

el wrongo.
The stems are bitter, just not tasty to eat. The green part underneath the yellow blossoms hold the petals together.
If you cut off the green part, you have petals.
You fry up the blossoms whole, just not the stems. Early in the year, the roots make good coffee. Later on, you can mix chicory roots with them (roasted and ground), and make coffee that isn't too bitter. You do cut off the green part as much as possible to make the dandelion jelly. Our friends rave about it. But the wild blackberry jam is absolutely amazing.
btw, another thing I'm going to do this spring/summer, is make birch beer and try it.

Absolutely true, caveat emptor.
Caveat emptor is Latin for "Let the buyer beware". It has become a proverb in English. Generally, caveat emptor is the contract law principle that controls the sale of real property after the date of closing, but may also apply to sales of other goods.
Reminds me of when people go to the Caribbean or Canada and buy "genuine Cuban cigars" and end up buying very expensive junk cigars.
Same with beef that people try to push as USDA PRIME which is not or on sale for $4.89/lb. I know my beef -but- wouldn't know what "American Kobe" would really look like or cost.
When in doubt go to a good meat store or trusted butcher. Now will I try it.....I might if I liked what I personally heard from our butcher.

Who doesn't love CRISPY BUTTERMILK ONION RINGS ? One of our favorites, restaurant taste at home ! Great too for any GAMEDAY or late night munchies mmmm-mmmm .
SERVES 6 PREP TIME (including soak time) 30 MINUTES. COOK TIME 10. MINUTES. https://www.mrfood.com/Vegetables/Crispy-Buttermilk-Onion-Rings
Ever wonder how the restaurants make their onion rings so crispy-special? With our recipe for Crispy Buttermilk Onion Rings, you can too! Now, all you need to figure out is what you'll be dipping 'em into! Any suggestions ?
What You'll Need
- 2 Spanish-type onions. (Vadalias are nice.)
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
What to Do
-
Peel onions and cut into 1/3-inch slices; separate into rings.
-
Pour buttermilk into a large bowl; add onion rings and soak 30 minutes.
-
In another large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the lemon juice, egg, and water; stir until smooth.
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1-inch of oil until hot but not smoking. Remove onion rings from buttermilk and dip into batter mixture, then place in skillet and fry until golden brown, turning to brown evenly on both sides. Drain onion rings on paper towels.
Notes, and what about dipping sauce ? Horsey, cocktail, honey mustard, ketchup or just plain.
-
If your onions are small, use 4. These rings come out crunchiest when made in an electric skillet, because it's easier to keep the oil at a consistent temperature.

crap - now I just HAVE to try that steak !
meanwhile, a simple treat for a game - pepperoni rolls.
Take a bag of RHODES DINNER ROLLS. Let them thaw just until you can work with them, and they are still cold and not sticking together.
then flatten them out, add some pepperoni and mozzarella cheese, wrap them back up, and bake at 350 degrees for ? minutes tile the tops turn brownish a bit.
Add in some good root beer, and you're ready to roll for a Browns game.

As a general rule I'm pretty much a steak purist I like my ribeye or porterhouse or whatever with salt and pepper very occasionally take a stick of butter and when done cooking rub it on both sides and let it set a few minutes while the steak is resting......adds some additional flavor. However this BALSAMIC FLANK STEAK is an exception it is not a super expensive steak to begin with good for a crowd or 8 of us when I was growing up the whole idea is to give it a delicious kick !
It would also make some good steak sandwiches for the gang -or- it would make a really good steak salad hot off the grill if that's your thing.
And pepperoni is always a great GAMEDAY treat. Would you believe that my wife actually bought 3 frozen ? pizzas from Aldi's the other day and I had a thin crust pepperoni pizza for dinner last night. Now it sure wasn't a Wedgewood 12" pizza for $10-15 but was crisp and done in ~12 minutes.......for $2.25 ! Great for a quick meal when you don't want to fuss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today it's kick back at home and on the grill. Breakfast was my nourishing yogurt, meal bar, cocoa. Lunch will be my wife's golden brown toasted cheese sandwich dill ? pickle, olives and chips.
Dinner is a sirloin burger on the grill with a garden ripe tomato ? and whatever fixens. Yes eating at home has it's perks.
