I always go for the cream chipped beef rather the sausage gravy.

I'm fine with that.

Wonder what a scrapple gravy would taste like?

fat is the number 3 ingredient, I realize the cuts of meat are lean, but that's just nasty

I thought you were referring to the fact that it contained offal.

if your talking about gravy, that's what's in gravy, now if you're talking about serving me a slab of it, I'm a fan of fried chicken livers, but other than that, I don't like organ meat too much

Nothing wrong with chuck roast,especially in a slow cooker.

Have you seen the Phineas & Ferb episode where Norm sings his weaponry song? It's one of the best things they've ever done, ever.

You know, I never liked ketchup on eggs or anything like that, but damn is sriracha doesn't kick eggs up to a higher level.

Made some freaking AWESOME personal pizzas for dinner tonight.

Steps:
1) Dough recipe: http://www.annies-eats.com/2010/04/29/perfect-homemade-pizza-crust-tips-and-tricks/
2) Preheat oven to 500 with 10" cast iron skilled inside, no oil needed
3) Cut dough into quarters, roll into 10" round crust on surface covered in cornmeal
4) Place dough on preheated cast iron skillet, rearrange as needed. Add sauce, cheese and toppings
5) Bake for 8-12+ minutes in oven.

Sooo gooood. And crispy! Also this recipe is much healthier than most delivery places. I use low-fat motzerella and turkey pepperoni here.

Crappy image:


Best part: each roommate decorated their own pizzas so no fighting over toppings!

Bought this on a whim at the store for cheap (probably low quality, whatevs)



Now what?  Plan on using it for cooking steaks and chicken breasts.  How would I go about that?  High heat?  Medium?

I'd say medium-medium high heat - I find that the oil can start to smoke at high heat, and it might not be good for the pan.

Make sure to scrub-a-dub-dub the pan first (use a scouring pad, and just water, no soap). Instructions on seasoning here: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/CastIronPans.htm

Will definitely need to apply a little bit of oil before cooking for the first few months - but just a little! I pour a tiny bit on and then just spread it with a paper towel.

I'm not an expert but that's my experience.

I don't mean to brag but I just made the best batch of fudge I have ever eaten in my life. Dark chocolate fudge with little toffee chunks and it tastes like, I don't know, red wine and orgasms. It's amazing.

On the other hand at dinner I burned the asparagus so...

What recipe do you use? I have never made fudge before, mostly because I'm scared to keep that stuff in the house. Sounds awesome, though, might want to try eventually :)

anyone watching next iron chef?  This season has been great, chefs who seriously dislike one another.

It says it's pre-seasoned so maybe I don't have to.  Also, it says oven safe up to 400 now that I look at it.  Only 400?

It's still a good idea to season it yourself! I highly recommend it and it will help prevent sticking. Also washing it thoroughly will help remove any residue from the factory.

Also make sure to always put it away dry - any moisture could lead to rusting. This just means heating up the pan after you've cleaned it on the stove for 5 minutes until the water has evaporated.

400 might be the "safe" temperature, but I've put mine in the oven at 500 before. I'd experiment to see how high it can go.

I've got a pork tenderloin that marinaded 12 hours in home made barbeque sauce in the crockpot. Giving it 8 hours and then will shred it and add more of the sauce. I've got potato rolls and cole slaw to go with it. Damn it smells good!  :shock:

Uhhhh it's kind of a family secret. Although my parents use walnuts instead of toffee. But if you ever join the family I'll tell you!  :P

P.S. It's not all sugary like normal fudge, is the secret. It's more what's NOT in the recipe than what is.
