ShowUStheHOOK 6 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 we discovered a black folks BBQ restaurant restaurant in Jonesboro. What does a barbecued black person taste like?Never tasted one cooked...well Hello, Clarice Link to post Share on other sites
BLUMENKOHL 1044 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 When I first moved to North Carolina I wasn't quite sure what this southern hospitality stuff and southern food was all about. Then I went to my first real local southern comfort food restaurant. Nothing quite like it. I've traveled the U.S. and the world all over. You don't quite find a place like the Southern US of A. Backwards in many respects yes...but also far more complicated and interesting than painted in popular media. Link to post Share on other sites

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10236 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Joe does not need to be washed. He's a very clean person. I'd prefer a Lambrusco over Chianti.... Leftover macaroni and meatballs, augmented with some taters. Link to post Share on other sites

gkgyver 1560 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I ordered a pizza today. With mozzarella, gouda, blue cheese and feta. Fat overload, but SO good.By the way, how do you make your pizza dough? Personally, I never got accustomed to yeast powder, I always use fresh yeast. If I want to make it quick, I use1/8 l of lukewarm water10 g yeast1 teaspoon of sugar250 g flour1 teaspoon of salt3 tablespoons of olive oilDissolve the yeast in the water, add the flour, and mix it. Add the salt, then sugar, and finally oil, and knead it until it's a compact mass. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then use it.If I know beforehand I want a good pizza, I make the recipe of Giorgio Locatelli, which is:300 ml of lukewarm water7 g of yeast550 g italian flour, type 0015 g of salt6 g of sugar60 ml of milk30 ml of olive oilDissolve the yeast in the water, add it to the flour and mix it. Add salt and then sugar, slowly work the milk in and finally the oil. Knead it for a good 10 minutes, and repeatedly fold it.Then slice it into 3 portions and wrap it in some plastic wrap to shield it from air, and keep it in the fridge for a day.The next day, let it sit outside for 3 hours to get room temperature.Then form it to pizza size by pulling it with your fingers. The day in the fridge makes it extra elastic.It's important not to add the salt to the yeast in the beginning because that would "burn" it and hamper its function. It's also important to work in the oil last because if you do it in the beginning, it will isolate the ingredients and prevent the salt and yeast to really soak into the dough.

JoeinAR 1406 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 today I started buying groceries for Thanksgiving.I was able to buy a small turkey, 7.5 lbs.

Wednesday night we'll go to the movies, Thursday I'll get up and prepare our Thanksgiving dinner for around 2pm. It's just my Mom, Dave and I, and a few of his relatives.Then about 7 I'll head to Walmart for BF, to snag some blu rays. I'll hit a few other stores either at Midnight or the next morning. Friday I'll watch CBS football as the Hogs end their disasterous season against the Lsu Tigers. Then after that I'll watch the Hogs baskeball team take on Arizona State in the Las Vegas Invitational.How about you.Mom suggested I make a Pineapple pie since I'm fixing desserts.

JoeinAR 1406 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm too busy eating to take pictures.tonight we had great northern beans, hamburgers cooked in my cast iron skillet, and fried potatoes and corn bread.I don't cook fried potatoes often but damn these were good. And for those who don't know fried potatoes are not the same as french fries which are also fried potatoes. Fried potatoes are rough and coarsely chopped or sliced potatoes, they're unevenly sliced so that they have different textures in each bite.It's one of my mom's favorite meals so while she's here I told her to tell me to cook her favorites.
