Hey Roz, Let's Go to Brandon, IA and check out Iowa's largest frying pan;  how about it?

The thing apparently weighs over 1000lbs and is 8 feet in diameter!  I wonder how many pancakes could be made at once in it, we should find out.



I have an excellent buttermilk pancake recipe.

Hey Roz, how was your Thanksgiving this year?

Mine was okay, we skipped the turkey and my brother got each of the attendees a Cornish Game hen (4EA).  Once again I was assigned the sweet potatoes, I thought about reprising my "Orange Man Bad Sweet Potato Souffles" but it sounded like a lot of work for little payoff:  Dad doesn't eat the sweet potatoes, brother & mother just want a baked sweet potato so I would have been to only one to enjoy the effort.  Plus sister (saucier/garde manger) was at her in-laws this year so no Marshmallow Gastrique & Cajun Candied Pecans to go with them.

I did make my usual Sweet Potato Casserole with a slight twist:  I think I usually make a Pumpkin Pie spice/Quatre Epices blend to flavor the filling, this year I opted to use an experimental spice mix I whipped up for Sweet Potato Chips that I had already made for an earlier successful food experiment over the summer.  I believe it was garlic powder, black pepper, cinnamon, sea salt, sage and parsley flakes;  maybe something else?  I have it written down somewhere...

That is now on the approved list for seasonings used to construct a Sweet Potato Casserole, and very probably could replace Quatre Epices in the Marshmallow Gastrique sauce for souffles should they ever be made again.

I still have a turkey to cook though;  a fellow veteran in the neighborhood gifted me with a Turkey (10lbs I think) that he acquired through the VA somehow.  It showed up the other day on my front porch with a cryptic "Turkey on your front porch" text message.  Very weird, I did not inquire too deeply into the provenance of said bird:  I have a sneaking suspicion he was taking advantage of some sort of VA Food Bank thing to score free turkeys, not that there is anything wrong with that...

Anyway, I have decided that I will go ahead and cook this potential "Stolen Valor Turkey" and dispose of the evidence via some frozen dinners that I will construct with the left-over Sweet Potato Casserole, some sort of vegetable and some cornbread stuffing.  I have discovered a "new to me" method of baking a turkey:



Apparently this is called "spatch-cocking" or something.  Actually, I may have known of this technique from my chef's school/chef days and forgotten.  Nautical Shore, those were some wild and heavy drinking daze!  Ha!

Well, I have once again probably said too much:  Apogees!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey Roz, are you planning anything special for Christmans>(sp)?

I am thinking my old Dry-Mix Cocoa recipe needs revisiting.  Perhaps a bit lazy on my part, but the attendance of family is in question this year.  I think I will only distribute these "gifts" if said recipients show up in person.

Anyway, this might amuse you:



Marry Christmas!

Hey Roz... Are you still alive? If not, could you please check on the status of Pate? I am concerned that Covid got him.

Please feel free to communicate the status of Pate's animation to Lasha. I'm sure she will find a way to get in touch with me.

Thanks.

*If you are, indeed alive, please disregard the above request.

The question is is are you still alive? I worry about you since you refuse to get vaccinated. Last I heard pate was in school so hopefully he is just busy studying. Is he Anti-Vax too?

No, my family died. How 'bout you, what did you do for Christmas?

[Roswells, Art]

Hey Roz, would you mind conducting a Welfare Check on our mutual fiend K_Dubb through whatever "back channels" you might have available?

The AzzGab membership is both perplexed and somewhat concerned.  For my part, I am on the cusp of attempting some sort of baking project for the "BellGab Bakeshoppe" thread.  If your cat(s) have any tracking skills similar to bloodhounds they might be useful in tracking him down:  you might consider them as a search asset.



We are approaching the point of desperation or I would not presume to ask such a favor of you, but if you can find the thyme we would all breathe a bit easier:  Some of us are becoming alarmed, apparently!

I wouldn't want to bother him, even if I knew how, but I see you all want him back, I do too. All you have to do is get Shredni Vashtar to come back or whatever his alias is here. If you could do that K would be back in a matter of minutes, probs.

If the government told you to jump off a bridge I bet you’d do that too.

hmm....You know, I've never really thought if it that way. That is brilliant! Life changing even! Was that an original thought? Haha, just kidding. I know you only talk in sound bites. Also, I'm sure you're vaccinated. You just pretend you aren't just like the vaxxed politicians that cater to the retards that vote for them.

That’s quite a conspiracy theory.

Well, definitely the first third was.

Sorry, it’s hard for me to keep track od your bullshit. Which was that?

You're making this too easy. You alright? Do you have a pulse oximeter? Is it below 90%?
