Foodies BS Thread.

I'm not sure how many people would eat a pie called that...

 

A little red beans and rice (out of the box this time) and Cajun sausage with some left over homemade pastrami and left over corn thrown in

 

Country fried steak and gravy and biscuit

 

Damn good meal there man.

 

Hold the veggies haha

 

And leftovers for breakfast

 

...^^^... Great looking breakfast there ... I have been on a search for good biscuits and gravy in the ATL area and have yet to find a good place.

Tried the "Flying Biscuit" last week and that was horrible.

 

Sad the other day at the market saw a gal reach for the canned biscuits, then put them back. Knowing now i wont eat the canned biscuits...theres just no comparion to home made...

 

I will eat canned if need be. I prefer to make them myself but at times it’s just not going to happen. We’ve also tried the pillsbury frozen ones.

 

Frozen biscuits will do in a pinch... I only eat canned biscuits if they are deep fried... I can make dough in the time in takes the oven to preheat so other than an extra bowl and a little extra wiping to do for cleaning, I have little to no excuses for not making them

 

We have a very tight kitchen right now so space is a premium. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

 

Red taters, brussel sprouts, ckn apple sausage. And leftover Mac n cheese. It ain’t burnt, it’s well roasted.

 

I'd eat that once a week!

 

id make a burrito...looks good!

 

Great.. now I'm gonna have to learn how to make my own tortillas! And I've never seen a burrito sized tortilla press...

 

Corn tortillas are easy...flour takes some work but i posted a recipe a while back works decent

 

Took me a while to find a good one. I got it down to memory now...

4 Cups flour
2 Tsp of Salt
1 Tsp of baking powder
5-6 Tablespoons of Manteca
1.5 cups of hot water

In a large mixing bowl mix the dry ingredients and the "manteca" then add the hot water, mix until it comes together and start kneading the dough in the large mixing bowl for 5-6 minutes. Dough should be tacky but not sticky. add sprinkling of flour as you go to keep from sticking.

Once your Kneading time is up roll/form into a large ball and let sit in the bowl covered for at least 45 minutes to rest (I usually dampen a paper towel and put that over the bowl then I put a regular kitchen towel over top of that). Roll into golf ball size "bolito's" or balls and cover again (with damp but not dripping paper towel and regular kitchen towel) for another 10 minutes. At the same time you can get your flat griddle warming up on med high heat. After the ten minutes your flat griddle should be up to temp, start rolling out each individual ball of dough one at a time to desired thickness(it takes some practice but once you make a few you can get thicker or thinner whichever you like). and put on the griddle 1 minute max on each side( this varies as the temp of your griddle heats up). I usually do 1 minute on one side and 45 seconds on the other side.

Makes anywhere from 10-14 tortillas depending on size of dough ball you use. Mine arent perfect round but they taste great! You can use shortening, butter coconut oil/grease or leftover bacon fat in place of manteca but oil doesnt have the good flavor

 

You have a link or you gonna make me search? Ever seen a larger tortilla press?

 

Bout 8" press is the biggest ive seen
