I can see this group is eating very well, as usual.

 

@liamsaunt, I sure want some of your lovely grilled pizzas. Mean old grill, taking half the pepperoni one. I hate it when that happens. :|

 

@BonVivant, your steamed pork buns are far from ugly to me, but very inviting to eat.

 

@HungryChris, Your marinated rotisserie chicken looks delectable. The potato gets a bad rap, but you would be surprised at how much Vitamin C it has. Notice the Nutrition Data link puts it firmly in the vegetable category. It's really the sour cream and butter most of us love to add that add the calories.

 

Yesterday I made homefried potatoes. I found the prettiest little white new potatoes at the Indian grocer for 99 cents/lb the other day with pristine, almost translucent thin tan skins. The skin did not peel off with a brush like it will when you dig them yourself and cook them that day, but they were extremely fresh for store bought. I left the skin on. To me homefries are 3/8" raw dice and fried until golden brown, quite crispy outside and creamy on the inside. It's a dish you can almost never get in made well in a restaurant, at least around here. I guess they have to make too many at a time, so they come out sort of steamed and not crispy or very brown at all. I never order them out. It takes 30 minutes to fry just two servings in a 12" skillet, so I see why they can't do it that way commercially.

 

I fried the potatoes up in some duck fat and used what was left in the pan to cook over easy eggs. Sliced banana and strawberries were served alongside.

 

Tonight was broiled pork steak with rosemary, sweet potatoes nuked in their jackets with just butter and salt, and a succotash-like medley of baby limas, corn, red bell pepper, and caramelized onion.
