<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You need:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pork Steaks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Salt </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rub** (SALT FREE)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BBQ Sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Brine the steaks for a few hours in salt water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Either turn on your gas grill (just one side) or get the charcoal going.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*While you are waiting take the steaks out of the fridge, drain and pat dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Sprinkle with some pepper and a <b>salt free rub</b> (this is important, don't add extra salt to brined meat. it will be foul.) of your choice if you want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*If using charcoal pour the bricks out on just one side of your grill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(I don't really need to tell you all the steps for preparing your grill do I?)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Put BBQ sauce on one side of steak, place sauce side face down on the COOL side of your grill. Put sauce on face up side of steak. Close lid with the air hole open. Let cook about 7 min. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Now more sauce, flip that side over face down, add sauce to the side that is face up. Grill for about 7 min.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*Re-sauce, but now move your steaks to the hot side where you can cook and burn all you want. I flipped the ones last night about 3 times adding more sauce each time I tuned them. The sauce gets nicely carmelized this way. I like my pork steaks not burnt so mine came off sooner then my husband who for some inexplicable reason loves them slightly burnt. Go figure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**I did not use a rub last night and they were still delicious.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Angela over at <i><a href="http://www.kitchenistadiaries.com/" target="_blank">The Kitchenista Diaries</a></i> has great rub recipes. Just leave out the salt. She has just amazing recipes basically, her recipes along with ones from America's Test Kitchen have changed the way I cook for the better.</span><br />

The basic flour recipe can be <a href="http://howcanitbeglutenfree.com/gluten-free-recipes/#flour" target="_blank">found here</a>.<br />
The bread recipe <a href="http://tasty-yummies.com/2014/02/17/gluten-free-classic-sandwich-bread/" target="_blank">is here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'll admit I am NOT a kitchen goddess. I cook things at home because I can't afford to buy them pre-made. I really don't want to come up with new recipes or be a foodie blogger. I just want to find recipes that WORK and are less work for my lazy ass.<br />
<br />
Because of ATK's new cookbook I've stopped desperately trying to find GF bread I like. Hot out of the oven with butter on it it tastes and has the texture of bread. Once it cools I cut it into slices, wrap in parchment paper, put into a freezer bag and freeze the rest. (<b>Note</b> that GF bread is "fresh" for about a day and then it needs to be frozen or made into breading...kind of like french bread.) I take out what I need and defrost it for sandwiches, use the ends to make breading.<br />
<br />
The mix has saved me money...though it is still more expensive then making bread with just regular wheat flours.<br />
<br />
So far I have made:<br />
<b>White Sandwich Bread </b>(I use a <b>Pullman loaf pan</b> so have extra bread dough which I am working on coming up with a crouton/cracker/flat bread recipe to make with the leftover dough or just spreading it out thin and baking it with the intention of processing it into breading.)<br />
<b>Cupcakes</b><br />
<b>Shortbread</b><br />
<b>Biscuits</b> (I would not make them again. Too much trouble and since I make the best damn biscuits in the world <a href="http://vintagegoddess.blogspot.com/2012/11/best-biscuits-ever.html" target="_blank">with this amazing recipe </a>they are a sad replacement. I'll do without.)<br />
<b>Pasta</b> (though just recipes USING GF pasta and cooking tips. Making pasta itself looks like an incredible pain in the ass.)<br />
<b>Pizza Crust</b><br />
<b>Pie Dough </b>(this made a basic, delicious flaky crust.<b> </b>Even my non-GF husband said he would eat it again.<br />
<br />
I know there are a number of blogs and cooks doing great GF baking, and some may find the cookbook to simplistic (who doesn't realize you can use corn meal and Masa Herina for GF baking options?) and/or not enough recipes, but I've always found the ATK recipes to;<br />
A. work<br />
B. work <br />
<br />
Did I mention that they work? <br />
So there ya go.<br />
<br />
Here's a crappy food picture for you.<br />

You will also need about 3 cups vanilla ice cream softened.<br>
<br>
Make crust and freeze.<br>
Make lemon curd and let cool.<br>
Out semi soft ice cream into crust and smooth it out. Slather lemon curd on top of that and freeze until frozen. I made some whip cream (FYI if you add a smidgen of gelatin to it while whipping it will last about 3 days stored in the fridge.) that we ploped onto our pieces of pie before eating.<br>

<div>
Sadly it worked.</div>
<div>
Sadly? Well yes. I love bread and pasta in all the wrong ways. Plus I didn't want to give up cookies and cakes and bread and pasta.</div>
<div>
GF living is expensive and adds extra annoyances to my life.</div>
<div>
Why does everything have flour in it? Why can't I find cheap chicken strips breaded in cornmeal instead of flour?</div>
<div>
Why the hell does soy sauce have wheat in it?</div>
<div>
Arrrrrrggghhhh.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So enough bitching. I'm back. I'll post some of the things I've learned in the past year along with really crappy pictures the food I've made.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One thing I promise not to do is write paragraphs describing how I decided to make a particular item or how it affects my life, existential treatises on gluten-free versus Paleo and any other fucking extra extra words that I can put in just so there's more words in post. It drives me crazy when other food blogs do this and I want to punch them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I promise to make sure the recipe is the first thing you see.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did I mention my pictures will be rubbish?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also FYI over the past year the best resources I have used are King Arthur Flour recipes, the How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook from America's Test Kitchen, Oh She Glows website and (surprisingly) Paltrow's It's All Good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the process I've lost a bit of weight and my liver/intestines are happier.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As always Your Milage May Vary.</div>

I did not want to use the bright yellow lemon goo you find, but was not that interested in trying to find a replacement.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other day <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/kittencals-lemon-cream-cheese-pie-107621" target="_blank">I made THIS pie</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It might be the best lemon pie I've ever made or eaten. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So good.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best part was the Lemon Curd that tops it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">LEMON CURD! I thought.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perfect filling for my fried pies:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 1/2 Cup Sugar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6 TBL Cornstarch</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pinch of salt</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 C Water</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 Tea Grated Lemon Rind (4ish lemons)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2/3 C Fresh Lemon Juice (4ish lemons)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 TBL Butter</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Mix sugar and cornstarch in sauce pan.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Add water, lemon juice and rind. Bring to boil over med high heat, stirring.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">It thickens about boiling point.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Take off heat.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Throw in butter and stir till melted.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Let it cool a few hours or a few days. I left my second batch in the fridge for a few days (w/o a lid, it began to weep with a lid on) with no issues.

Mostly because I was wiped out by the end of the day. Suffice it to say it was a wonderful trip that I will always remember.<br />
New Orleans was a joy.<br />
Everyone we came in contact with were friendly and helpful. The staff at the Best Western Plus French Quarter Landmark Hotel were the best. Our room was comfy and there was a nice courtyard with fountain and pool.<br />

Every meal we had was delicious. Seriously, not a bad one in the bunch.<br />
<br />
Stand Outs:<br />
<b><a href="http://www.mealsfromtheheartcafe.com/" target="_blank">Eat</a></b> at 900 Dumaine St. was visited twice it was so good. Crawfish Pie, Butterbeans with Shirmp, Fried Green Tomatos and Chochon with Mustard Greens. All equally good.<br />
<b><a href="http://traceysnola.com/" target="_blank">Tracey's</a></b> a pub in the Garden District had the best Fried Shrimp Po' Boy of the trip. Also it was just a nice location with outside seating, very laid back. It was the perfect place to eat, have a few beers and talk for two hours with my friend from Baton Rouge.<br />
<b><a href="http://www.mealsfromtheheartcafe.com/" target="_blank">Meals From the Heart</a></b> in the French Market though had the dish that has stayed with me. I had the Poached Egg and Crab Cake Passion. Lawd have mercy ya'll! I can't even describe how creamy the poached egg was and how well it melded with the crab cake and remoulade sauce. Even the English Muffin was amazing. I want to go back to NOLA just to eat here.<br />
Also hit Creole Creamery in honor of the Cumberbatch and had a scoop of lavender and honey ice cream. Amazing.<br />

The ocean!<br />
Or at least the Gulf of Mexico.<br />
Stayed at the Courtyard Hotel.<br />
Very nice hotel. The lobby of course was remodeled after Katrina and is very nicely appointed. <br />
I love a nice hotel.<br />
Had an ocean view.<br />
<br />
I should point out that the first meal of the day was a few Kystal burgers. <br />
<br />
Second meal was at Half Shell Oyster House. I tried the Oyster Beinville which was totally satisfying. Luckily it was brunch so there was also a nice dink mix of champagne and cranberry juice.<br />
<br />
Sadly there are still many signs of Katrina. <br />
Large empty lots along the beach road with huge old trees and old stone and brick foundations interspersed with lovely old Southern homes. <br />
<br />
We walked on the beach, watched the silly birds...the waves coming in was relaxing.<br />

Lots of talking and laughs until we began listening to Cabin Pressure which Mom found amusing.<br />
Saw:<br />
Varner Supermax Prison.<br />
A catfish farm.<br />
Rice silos(?).<br />
Went through a town named Tullulah and I think we drove along part of a canal.<br />
Another town was quite scenic with a long lake that ran along the highway.<br />
Now in a town outside of Jackson MS.<br />
Hotel looked pretty sad from outside but the rooms had all been renovated and we got the bonus of a handicap room.<br />
No idea why we were given it, but the bathroom is huge.<br />
Wifi sucked (I was ridiculous looking walking around the parking lot trying get service...seriously) until I called the tech service (which the manager had provided for the rooms) and got it working properly.I think it is through Comcast.<br />
Yay me!<br />
And thank you tech guy from PnS WiFi.<br />
Beds very comfy.<br />
Time to sleep.<br />
Tomorrow pouring rain, Gulfport, beach (maybe) and, it seems, a casino (never been to one) or two.<br />
<br />
Here's the few lame pics I managed to take.<br />

This is huge since I have not been on a real trip in years. Mostly because I hate to travel, but if I'm honest I've gotten a bit too attached to my nest. Leaving for too long makes me uncomfortable. So this trip is more then just a "happy 50th birthday" and more of a chance for the old me who used to enjoy new experiences and taking chances to reappear.<br />
<br />
Wish me luck. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdf7QrNn_PBbg9A9E4hiqDjCR45jNklsVZDiNJO1FAakktmKm43RN8vMiYzZBP_PzPOeZlakUvYv6MpkIashUoruIxft868SeZmXmImQQXJ4PTL853gxxfsgNxo-D7Fv0NY1W6w/s640/blogger-image--977293193.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdf7QrNn_PBbg9A9E4hiqDjCR45jNklsVZDiNJO1FAakktmKm43RN8vMiYzZBP_PzPOeZlakUvYv6MpkIashUoruIxft868SeZmXmImQQXJ4PTL853gxxfsgNxo-D7Fv0NY1W6w/s640/blogger-image--977293193.jpg" /></a></div>Julie The Vintage Goddesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02760552385792635375noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21001110.post-78244342405771354422013-04-10T23:18:00.001-04:002013-04-10T23:19:59.547-04:00After The Storm<br />

They were pretty good (though I think if you are making lemon ones you might want to add some lemon juice and zest to the lemon goo) BUT the pie dough he used was so delicate you could not pick them up without the filling falling out everywhere.
This began a discussion with my husband about how his mother always used canned (yuck) biscuits for her fried pies.<br />
Of course this became an issue that I began obsessing over and like most puzzles in my life I figured it out while sitting in the bathtub.<br />
I have no fucking idea why this happens.<br />
Is it the warm steam?<br />
Mostly I sit there bored wondering what Benedict Cumberbatch would look like sitting in the tub across from me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe like this?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
But whatever, I think better in the tub and my solution was to try making fried pies using <a href="http://vintagegoddess.blogspot.com/2012/11/best-biscuits-ever.html">THE BEST BISCUIT RECIPE EVER</a> and this was, I might say, a success.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My fillings were already made. I had some chocolate pudding I made the other day and a can (<i>I know</i>) of apple pie filling to which I added more sugar, butter, cinnamon and mashed a bit.<br />
<br />
Made the biscuit dough, kneaded it with some extra self-rising flour a few times and rolled it into a ball. Covered with cling wrap and put in the fridge for a few hours.<br />
After a couple of hours I turned the deep fryer to 375F and began rolling out circles (about 5 inches).<br />
Wish I could tell you how thick I rolled them out, but I can't, I guess it was a good pie crust thickness.<br />
On one half of circle I added a bit of chocolate or apple mix.<br />
NO I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH you will have to dick around with this and figure out what works best for you.<br />
Now you put a bit of water on a half and fold over so you have a half a circle. Pinch the edges with your fingers THEN crimp with a fork. Make SURE YOU GET THE SIDES or stuff will ooze out while frying.<br />
If the oil (canola is what I have in the fryer YMMV) is ready drop a couple of pies in.<br />
PLEASE DO THIS CAREFULLY.<br />
<br />
It seems like I fried 4-5 minutes. Fry on side and then get it to flip over. Basically you are going for bubbly, dark golden, but not brown. Brown is burnt, dark golden is yummy while getting all the dough done in the middle.<br />
<br />
Take 'em out, dust with some powdered sugar and please let them cool down a few because they fillings will be like hot lava.<br />
<br />

A heartbreaking (and as a woman incredibly chilling) Twitter feed of a Doctor who had to force a teenager to deliver her dead baby because there was no Drs. available who could perform a therapeutic abortion on a dead fetus.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"At noon, I got a call from my hospital. A teenage prenatal patient of mine was there. 21 weeks along. Bleeding, with pain. I ordered an ultrasound. It turned out there wasn't major bleeding... but her amniotic sac had ruptured. No fluid left at all. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">So, a teenager w/a "late," but not viable, fetus that cannot survive. After rupture, delivery will occur, and/or infection. <b>Think Savita.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">2 treatment options: 1, induce labor; 2, operative dilation & evacuation. In other words, an abortion.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>No one at my hospital is able to do a D&E.</b> Bc you have to do a bunch to be good, <b>no one can do it who didn't opt in to abortion training."</b></span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><i>*I want to stop there. A hospital in an AMERICAN city that has NO ONE who could do a D&E. This is what is wrought by bastards like Rapert and Mayberry. This is the fault of women like Lila Rose.*</i></span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"So. I call the nearest academic hospital. They tell me the next time an appropriately trained Dr is available is 4 days away. I call another academic hospital. Same story: most of their docs aren't trained. Only one is, & s/he is only there 2 days a week. So there I am, w/a teenager w/a doomed fetus, crying from grief & pain,& I tell her, there is no doctor who can do your surgery for 4 days. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">So I have to tell her, after that grief & pain, she has to labor & birth a dying fetus. ALL BC NO ONE IS WILLING TO DO ABORTION TRAINING.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">So basically the girl was forced to go though labor (and screw you if you think it is no big deal to go though labor to push out a dead baby. Screw you.) and deliver a dead baby. A trauma she would NOT have had to endure if there had been a doctor (in a city with fairly liberal abortion laws) who could perform an abortion. A delivery that put her life at greater risk.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">You pro-life forced birth folks out there think it is GREAT there are less and less Doctors who perform abortions, but there is a reason we need them. I bet some of you are even thinking the slut got exactly what she deserved. I am livid. I pray to God that if at my advanced age I end up pregnant that there will be a Doctor in Little Rock who can perform an abortion. </span><br />

<br />
Not too bad.<br />
A bit sweet with a fall-ish flavor due to what I think was some cinnamon and nutmeg.<br />
Swanson's tastes fresher and has a brighter color, but for a canned soup this was not too bad.<br />
<br />
The sandwich was yummy too. Sorry nothing "foodie" about it. Nothing "artisan". Just Walmart french bread and cheese and some grape tomatoes.<br />
<br />
Here's the crappy photograph.<br />
The vintage in this picture would be the ugly Corelle plate.<br />
