Whatâs in that last picture? That looks yum.
Glad you asked! That was todayâs hit. Asiago potato stacks. (!!!)
Thinly slice a bunch of yukons. Has to be 2mm or less or they are too thick. We used a food processor with the 2mm blade. Boom boom done. Drizzle the discs with melted butter, black pepper and fresh minced thyme in a big bowl & mix it up gently with your hands. Optionally, salt. But we use way too much salt in this country, so I leave it out. Also if youâre feeling shy of butter, use good olive oil. Pack them into popover pans or these little loaf pans. Then sprinkle a VERY generous wad of shredded Asiago on top. Bake at 375 for around 45 minutes. Youâll know when they are done because they get all browny yummy crusty crunchy and the smell of caramelizing cheese will MAKE you take them out of the oven. You have GOT to try this recipe!
Why am I out of likes⌠because these deserve them all. Iâm adding this and the aforementioned onions to my list of things to try very soon.
Awww shucks! kicks dirt You gotta do the Asiago stacks!
Iâm on my way over, save me a slice!!!
BOOKMARKED. Because hell yeah.
Dang, how do I wrangle an invitation to your place for next yearâs Tâgiving feast?
That all looks SOOOO yummy!!!
I drooled on my shirt, you jerk.
Those lamb popsicles look perfect. I loooove tiny food.
Even my daughter, who is 2, ate one! She loved it.
Also, credit where itâs due. All of todayâs feasting was at Mormorâs house. My mother-in-law got her recipes together and started everything. I showed up at 1 and helped her get it all done with precision, because there were people milling around. I canât take credit for most of this. Iâll take credit for being the enforcer, though, and making sure things were executed accurately and that the ovens and stovetop were watched carefully.
I had the meringue in the mixer bowl on the double-boiler with thermometer clipped to the side, trying to get to 160°F. Along comes uncle Paul and he is worried about the thermometer breaking and is reaching to unclip it from the bowl and walk away with it! I was at 155 degrees! Right at the finish line! I yelled at him and almost punched him in the gut to get him to go away. He nearly ruined the meringue! As you can see, it all worked out, but dammit, if itâs not like trying to cook in Grand Central Station over there with people picking at what youâre making and standing right in the way all the time.
Truly I am dwelling not among men, but among gods.
I didnât take many pictures; itâs a hell of a lot of work feeding fifteen people. But I offer this, my bird lineup: chicken, chicken, duck, duck. Alas, there are no pictures of RatGirlâs salad, for the simple reason that it was a big hit, and the hordes of hungry rats beat me to it.
You needed to put a goose to the right, even if it wasnât an actual baked goose. Come on, live for the laughs!
I agree! But I suck at the Photoshops. Help me, random mutant?
The anti-@japhroaig?
I didnât know there was something like food horrorâŚ
That is a meal I wish I could have attended.
