There’s nothing wrong with lots of gravy!
My usual move is to make a stock with turkey giblets and necks (I get extra from the butcher) in my pressure cooker and then use that to make the gravy. So even if you don’t get any drippings from the bird, you’ve got lots of turkey flavor from the stock.
It was turkey wings in my case, but otherwise we’re like
Yup, giblets for a start! Then drippings, then GRAVY
I’m working on duck for tomorrow.
This is a fresh local duck getting a nice rub of salt, orange zest, garlic, 5 spice, white pepper and coriander seeds.
Then left uncovered in the fridge overnight.
I’m very excited that I’ll be getting a nice supply of duck fat as well.
Ooooo! I’ve never had duck…can I come over??
Are those chocolate chunks???
Pecan streusel out of the freezer…
Well damn…that looks awesome!
I was looking over my pie recipe and checking to make sure I really had everything I needed to make my pie and I suddenly realized that I don’t own a pie plate! Uh… I looked through my baking supplies and I have a springform pan and rectangular cake pans, but no pie plate. Now, if I were making this pie just for myself, I would have tried out one of the things I had on hand and not worried about it, but this is for other people to consume. So I ran over to Walmart and spent 15 minutes in their baking aisle looking for a pie tin. It wasn’t even that they were sold out. I just couldn’t find where they were supposed to be stocked. Finally, I found a disposable foil pie tin, but I didn’t really want that. So I looked through the aisle one more time and, lo and behold, there were the pie plates, pushed all the way back to the wall. But I got it and now I’m ready to make a pie tomorrow and take it to dinner.
My old pyrex pie plate gets used for making french toast about 100 times more often than being used for pies…
I guess I shouldn’t exaggerate so much, figure 35 years I’ve made french toast once or twice a month, and have probably only made 10 to 15 pies in that span. So more like 50 or 60 times more.
Waddle on over. Bring a side dish!
I bring a vat o’ stuffing…enough for the 101 Airborne Division!
I’m going to make waffles.
That’s ambitious!
Well, it’s just me. So I’m not having to make a lot of them. And the extras I can freeze and eat later. Yum! Now, I won’t eat anything else until dinner.
Well, now I want waffles!
