What did everyone cook today?

Tex, tried your Maple this morning & it beats Cinnamon hands down. Use Maple Extract instead of Lemon & Vanilla on the icing. Only thing I can think of that I messed up is I should have used the maple with butter & sugar for the filling too vs the cinnamon, Cinnamon Extract, & sugar. That would have been some pretty intense Maple. Just in the icing though it was great!. Maybe I should have smoked em with Maple Wood!
calldoctoday nice! I was going to do cinnamon rolls this weekend, but I’ve been working on another project in the yard.

If you can get your hands on some maple sugar you might be able to reduce the sugar and replace the cinnamon. It is a bit pricey though.

Just getting to pull out a cheesy scalloped potatoes and ham casserole. Cured and smoked my first full ham for Easter, need to use up some of that meat.

Tex, I understand that. I am so far behind on this place, not to mention loosing all my energy, that it is embarrassing & humiliating. Canned up some more fresh asparagus & made up a gallon of home fries to freeze. Smoking some burgers & onions & Baked Beans to go with them right now. Will fry up the fries that did not fit into the bag in a bit for the burgers.
I would really like to get my hands on some genuine Maple Sugar. Probably have to do something on line I suppose to find it around here. I could see using that on more than Cinnamon Rolls too. -

Just watch the prices and check the ratings to what you are getting.

Sous vide sirloin tip roast, smoked crab poppers, smoked creamed corn, smoked bourbon apple cobbler.I spoiled myself with a braised ‘airline’ cut chicken breast (boneless skin-on breast with attached wing drumette) and served over a bed of fresh pasta from Passatempo Taverna, Lions Mane Mushrooms, Cauliflower and Castoldi Farms Asparagus.

Tex_77 Tex,
It’s pretty simple. Peel some russet potatoes. Cut them lengthwise apx. 1/2" wide. Soak them in ice cold water (cold water with ice cubes) for a little while. The water will turn cloudy. That is all the starch & you want to get that out of there to make em crispy. Rinse & soak in some more ice cold water. If the water is now clear, you are good. If the water is still a little cloudy, rinse em again in ice cold water (icy cold is the trick). Dry them either with sack clothes or naturally. Deep fry them up in a cast iron pot (Dutch oven) of fresh peanut oil until they are golden brown. Salt with sea salt over an expanded metal or screen drain. Watch em go, but don’t blink or you will not get to see them.
Oh, what you don’t fry you can freeze up in freezer bags. Just try to get all the air out as much as you can. Then you are ready for another batch without all the work. Cost to make a whole lot of them using 10 pounds of potatoes is $1.98 when the potatoes are on sale. They just seem to taste better! -
Smoked Chicken wings & quarters coming down today with a big pot of butter beans (Jackson wonders, the big ones) dried from last year’s garden. No such for this year as I was not too smart & decided to let the garden go fallow before the corona business hit. Oh, Persimmon bread for desert from some of last year’s persimmons pureed. For some odd reason we got no persimmons this winter, weird.

Joe Hell Now Joe, that looks GOOD! Everyone liked the looks of that chicken. If it tastes half as good as it looks, it is good!

Joe Hell Looks and sounds pretty tasty and it even has mushrooms in it.

Tex_77 Are those the product of your fishing outing? You can’t find good fresh catfish this far north. Looks like you need a glass of cold tea. Looking forward to my next trip to the South, until then your picture will have to suffice.

YooperDog The mushrooms were fantastic! I’ve had dried lions mane but never fresh. A local grower will bring a selection of oyster mushrooms and now the lions mane to the meat shop and we trade goods. It works out well for both parties!

YooperDog These were from last year. I did wash it down with some sweet tea! Starting to get hot enough to start making sun tea.

Joe Hell I like bartering. We have a couple of local farmers up here that grow several varieties of mushrooms. Weather is finally changing up here, morel’s should be popping up soon.
