You should make wontons! Alton Brown made some tonight and they looked so good it made me so hungry. I ate sushi, eggplant parm, and leftover potato salad for dinner. Weird I know!
Yea I figured that out a minute after I replyed to him lol. When I saw all the other lame ass posts he made. Ah well.
I love Alton but his recipes are SOOOOOOO long. I tried to make his coconut cake once but it was literally a 2 full day process involving baking whole coconuts in your oven and a bunch of other tedious tasks.
lol we can highjack his thread then. Anyway yes I agree with you! Alton is extremely technical, and it's very interesting to learn and watch, but his recipes are often very involved and detailed. I don't think I've ever made one of his recipes. But the wonton one rocks! It's basically just pork, scallions, and a bunch of seasonings and sauces. You put it in a wonton wrapper and make a little dumpling with it, and fry it then sort of steam them with chicken stock.
Yeah, I just pulled up that cake recipe and the prep time is 120 hours hahaha. Everything he makes look so delicious but I haven't made anything by him either because I can't be bothered to spend that much time on making home-made extracts and shit.
haha yea that's true! He does make pretty much everything, including his own cooking gadgets and shit.
hahah omg one day I was watching her show when she made bacon cheeseburgers on top of krispy kreme doughnuts!!! I couldn't fucking believe my eyes. She is so out of her mind. I love her though and I wish she were my mom. I love her show Paula's Party when they have it set at night with celebrity guests. She is so awesome!
Ewww! That sounds soooo wrong!!! BEST RECIPE EVER: Fried Butter Balls http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/paulas-fried-butter-balls-recipe/index.html I wish that wasn't real. Haha Seriouseats.com has a series of articles about how Paula is killing America with recipes like fried butter balls, chocolate fudge made with velveeta cheese, and bacon wrapped fried mac and cheese. Atleast she's ballsy, I'll give her that much credit!
i loooove Paula Dean! i used to watch the food network channel all day long, i gotta start watching it again!
Omg lol those sound really good! Yea my dad HATES everything about her.. her accent, her fattening food. But once in awhile it's okay to make something like that.. plus look at her.. she's not that bad so she must not eat everything she makes!
lol I usually do too, but there are some shows that I can't stand anymore like Rachel Ray and Emeril Live.
I love when she samples what she makes she takes such HUGE bites, like a bite that is equal to a whole meal for some people.. like she unhinges her jaw or something
