Anybody have a good fried okra recipe? Is fresh okra the key?
Does freshness really matter for anything fried? I've used fresh okra, but usually I just buy the frozen cut okra. Thaw under running water, dip the still-wet okra in corn meal, and fry til crispy and golden brown. Salt to taste. Best enjoyed with an orange soda.

See, now this (i) isn't meast; and (ii) the orange pop (what my people call it) is a beverage, not a sauce.

p.s. I have on occasion used pickled okra, thus combining two fine southern traditions in one dish. Best enjoyed with Shiner Bock.

Damn. Ketchup and ginger ale. I was sure that that particular mixture (which I have "enjoyed" once in my life) was constrained to the back woods of Western Kentucky where I apparently have some distant relatives. I guess not. Do you have a trailer in which to make this concoction? I've always thought it would spontaneously explode if made in a home with an actual foundation.
I am so proud.

You know what else is really good? That egg casserole with the white bread with the crusts cut off as the bottom layer?

I was thinking, it'd be really fun to have a white trash potluck dinner (although the real white trash calls it supper). Or a white trash cocktail party.

Three cases of Old Style, a crockpot full of them little weenies in Open Pit bbq sauce, and a big bowl of Velveeta melted with Pace Piquante Sauce?

Sounds great. Well, maybe not the Old Style. PBR instead? Meet out at your trailer?

Guinness Stout Ice Cream

In an effort to prove I am not white trash (ar at least that I no longer am) I give you the ice cream recipe my Uncle Ron has been dreaming about since last Thanksgiving.

Guinness stout ice cream

12 ounces Guinness stout
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
6 egg yolks
Dark Chocolate-Honey Sauce, recipe follows


In a large saucepan, simmer the Guinness until reduced by 3/4 in volume, about 8 minutes. Combine the cream, milk, and sugar in a medium, heavy saucepan. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the pan and add the vanilla bean halves. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks. Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator and add the Guinness reduction, whisking until well blended. Pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.


Dark Chocolate-Honey Sauce

2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup honey
20 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, scald cream and honey medium heat. Remove from the heat. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Add the hot cream, let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla. Let stand until cool but still pourable. Serve over Guinness ice cream

Sure. Can y'all swing by the Winn-Dixie and steal a big bag of ice on your way?

Is anyone else repulsed by Susan Stamberg's mother-in-law's cranberry relish?

In other news, the New York Times food section this week had a few Turkey recipies.

This is their very simple roast turkey recipe, and this is their very complicated Hatian turkey.

These Pumpkin Pots de Crème With Amaretti-Ginger Crunch look delicious, but will have to wait for another year. These Golden Apple Triangles look good, but I have a fear of puff pastry. I can never get it to work out right.

My uncle always makes an oyster soup on Thanksgiving, but this celery soup also looks really good.

Whoever was mentioning something about beets and rosemary the other day -- the place where I order food for Thanksgiving (and every other holiday, it seems...) has beets with sage. I didn't order them, because I don't eat beets, but for the adventurous among you, give it a whirl! The food at this place is EXCELLENT.

This is my only jappy tendency, I swear.

I think it was Fugee and she'd already bought them from a store with success and wanted to know how to make them at home.

This is heart warming. For Thanksgiving you take time out of your busy schedule to personally order dinner for your family. Are the kids old enough to help you with this yet? Think of the memories.

No, she takes the time out of her schedule to make a list of things for her staff to order for Thanksgiving dinner. She isn't going to pick up the phone to call people herself, get serious.

That is completely disgusting. I'm not sure which is worse, the sour cream or the horseradish.

Smoked Tuna

I tried some this morning for breakfast. Knowing that tuna is a more delicate flavor than salmon, I didn't go with the full bore lox treatment, and served it on flatbread with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a grind of black pepper.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The flavor of the tuna got sort of buried in what was a fairly light smoke, and the cure didn't really provide enough flavor itself to come out.

On balance, I'd have to say in the future I'll stick with salmon or an occasional trout.
