    IOW waffles. AFAIC remember I never saw waffles on offer at my local
    Colonel locations. Nor the recipe I am posting below. Which may 'splain
    why there are no more Kentucky Fried Colonel stores left here. We gots
    one Chick-Fil-A and two Popeyes. Wish we had a Lee's Famous.

    Title: Homemade KFC Potato Wedges
    Categories: Potatoes, Dairy, Herbs
    Yield: 8 servings

    3 lb Russet potatoes
    2 c A-P flour
    1 1/2 c Milk
    1 lg Egg
    2 ts Salt
    1 ts Garlic salt
    1/2 ts Onion powder
    1 tb Ground black pepper
    1 ts Poultry seasoning; opt
    Oil for frying

    Wash potatoes well, and cut into small wedges. The
    wedges should be no larger than 3/8 of an inch thick at
    the outside of the potato. Ideally, the potato wedges
    should be cut as uniformly as possible.

    Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and add enough
    water to cover the potatoes. Allow the potatoes to soak
    for at least 1 hour (best overnight).

    Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Whisk together to
    mix the egg fully into the milk.

    In another bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, onion
    powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.

    Heat oil to 350ºF/175ºC.

    Dredge the potatoes in the flour, then dip into the egg
    wash, and then back into the flour.

    Place the breaded potatoes on a wire rack on top of a
    baking sheet to allow them to dry. The coating will set
    up and stay on the potatoes better if allowed to set for
    5 to 10 minutes before frying

    Fry potatoes in batches for 5 to 6 minutes, remove and
    place on a wire rack to drain.

    After the first cooking time, place each batch of
    potatoes back into the oil for another 3 to 4 minutes.
    This second cooking will result in potatoes with a very
    crisp outer coating. When removed for the second time
    drain on the wire rack, and then serve immediately.

    MAKES: 8 servings

    Title: KFC Waffles

    IOW waffles. AFAIC remember I never saw waffles on offer at my local Colonel locations. Nor the recipe I am posting below.

    I've never seen waffles at KFC either. I can easily imagine it though.
    Kind of like biscuits and gravy, but with waffles.

    Sekihan (Japanese Red Beans And Rice)

    1/2 c Adzuki (small red beans)
    3 1/2 c Water (approximate)
    3 c Mochi gome (sweet glutinous
    - rice); well rinsed, soaked
    - for 1/2 to 1 hour, drained
    3 1/2 c Water
    1 tb Black dry-roasted sesame seeds
    Shiso or watercress leaf;
    - for garnish (optional)

    Served on special occasions throughout the year in Japan, and it is delicious--especially if you like sticky things.

    In a medium saucepan, combine beans and water; bring to a boil.
    Reduce heat to low; simmer 45 minutes to one hour or until beans are
    soft but not completely cooked. Cool to room temperature. Drain
    beans, reserving the liquid. Mix the beans, drained rice and water
    with 3 tb the bean cooking liquid. Cook in rice steamer in the usual
    manner. Spread the cooked beans and rice into a decorative shallow
    dish or laquer tray. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, garnish and
    serve.

    If you don't have a rice cooker, you can cook this is a pot on the
    stove as you would regular rice. Just use the proportion of water to
    rice given here, not the usual Western 2 parts water to one part
    rice. The rice has already been soaked, so it needs less water to
    cook.

    Yield: 8 Servings

    Probably a southern US thing where chicken & waffles is a big deal. Can't recall sausage gravy (for B&G or W&G) at KFC. I tried their gravy on my
    mashed taters a couple times and it was nahasty. Unlike Popeyesd "Cajun"
    gravy.

    Title: Chicken & Waffles
    Categories: Breads, Poultry, Pork, Chilies, Cheese
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 lg Eggs
    1/4 c Heavy cream
    2 tb Cayenne pepper
    1 tb Salt
    1 tb Ground black pepper
    2 c All-purpose flour
    1 c Cornstarch
    1 tb Salt
    1 qt Oil for frying
    8 Chicken tenders
    1 c Mayonnaise
    1/4 c Syrup
    2 ts Prepared horseradish
    1 ts Dry mustard powder
    12 sl Bacon
    8 sl (thin) Cheddar cheese
    8 Plain frozen waffles

    Whisk together the eggs, cream, cayenne pepper, 1
    tablespoon salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. In a
    paper bag, shake together the flour, cornstarch, and 1
    tablespoon salt.

    Dip the chicken into the beaten egg mixture, then place
    into the flour mixture and shake to coat. Place the
    breaded chicken onto a wire rack; do not stack. Let the
    chicken rest for 20 minutes to allow the coating to set.

    Heat about 3" of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to
    375ºF/190ºC. In small batches, fry chicken 5 to 8
    minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken, and drain on
    paper towels. Set aside or keep warm in a a low oven.

    Combine the mayonnaise, maple syrup, horseradish, and
    mustard powder in a medium bowl. Place the bacon in a
    large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat,
    turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10
    minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined
    plate.

    TO ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICHES: Place 4 waffles on a cookie
    sheet, top each waffle with 2 chicken tenders, 3 slices
    of bacon, and 2 slices of Cheddar. Broil the sandwich for
    a 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts. Spread 3
    tablespoons of the maple mayonnaise on the remaining 4
    waffles and place on top of the sandwich.

    Title: Dirty Dave's Tribute Potato Soup
    Categories: Soups, Potatoes, Pork, Cheese
    Yield: 8 Servings

    6 sl Bacon (to 8); diced, fried
    - crisp, drained, drippings
    - reserved
    1 c Yellow onions; diced
    2/3 c Flour
    6 c Chicken broth; hot
    4 c Potatoes; peeled, diced,
    - boiled until done **
    2 c Heavy cream
    1/4 c Parsley; chopped
    1 1/2 ts Granulated garlic
    1 1/2 ts Salt
    1 1/2 ts Coarse black pepper
    2 ds (or 3) hot sauce
    1 c Parmesan cheese; grated *
    1/4 c Green onions, sliced; white
    - and green parts

    Render bacon until crisp; drain dripping and reserve.
    Set bacon pieces aside until time to finish the soup.

    Cook onions in dripping over medium high heat until
    transparent, about 3 minutes. Add flour, stirring to
    prevent lumps; cook for 3-5 minutes, until mixture just
    begins to turn golden. Add chicken broth gradually,
    whisking to prevent lumps until liquid thickens.

    Reduce heat to simmer and add potatoes, cream, half of
    the chopped bacon, parsley, garlic, basil, salt, pepper
    sauce and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes; do not
    allow to boil. Add grated cheese and green onions, heat
    until cheese melts smoothly.

    Garnish each serving as desired with chopped bacon,
    grated cheese and chopped parsley.

    NOTE: If you don't have parsley at hand, chives, sliced
    onion tops, or garlic greens make a decent substitute.

    Makes 2 quarts.

    * The Parmesan is what makes this soup so much better
    than others I have had. It should blend in without over-
    powering the other flavours and add a thickness and
    richness to an otherwise plebeian soup.

    ** Yukon gold potatoes work well in this soup and make
    the resulting product even more cream/buttery coloured
    than russets or red potatoes.

    Synthesised and tweaked from a combination of recipes
    and attempts to duplicate Eldon Drum's potato soup. It
    isn't a copy or a duplicate. But it's pretty darned good
    on its own.

    very low carb meal for the next.

    I don't obsess over them like I did for the first 18 months or so after
    I was diagnosed. Now I check the nutrition labels on packages, like you
    try to go low carb (and high protein) after a high carb day or meal and
    check my b/g almost every day. I've been more erratic on the last over
    the last month with the arm injury and travel but intend to get back to
    doing it regularly starting next Monday.


    And I'm helped by having to restrict my potato intake because of the potassium levels that concern my doctors.

    I limit my potato intake too, but eat more than I did when Steve and I
    first got married. My dad insisted on having mashed potatoes with 99.99%
    of his supper (or Sunday dinner) meals so I was rather fed up with them.
    (Most of the time Mom made gravy but not with ham or some other meats.)
    We use a mix of potatoes, rice, kasha, orzo and couscous, depending on
    what else is on the menu.

    I don't even want to think about the carbs in this guy. Buy it's both delicious and habit-forming. Bv)=

    Since the primary care doc 86ed my diabetes med altogether I take a
    "fasting" blood sugar reading every Saturday morning. As long as I'm
    in the 90 to 110 range everything is hunky-dory. If that begins to go
    up as it did last time I was taken off the meds - then I'm going to be

    Many born-before 1940 cooks, diners preferred their steaks well done, or
    in my opinion ruined. If I'm in a new place for steak I'll order medium-
    rare and see what comes out the kitchen. Then I have a benchmark. Round
    steak I like cooked medium, sirloin - medium-rare, and ribeye - rare. Of
    course there are specialyy steaks, too ....

    Title: No-Nonsense Chuck Eye Steak
    Categories: Five, Beef
    Yield: 1 Serving

    16 oz Chuck eye steak
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    1 tb Olive oil

    Cover both sides of the steak, first with the salt,
    followed by the pepper, and finally the olive oil.

    Cook on an outdoor grill, or a hot cast iron pan, for
    5 minutes per side.

    Allow to rest for an additional 3 minutes on the plate.

    Enjoy.

    Asking for a Chuck Eye Steak is like acknowledging
    membership in a secret society. You are greeted with a
    knowing smile, a nod of the head, and then just maybe
    two will emerge from some quiet corner. There are only
    a couple in each animal, and although they have a taste
    and tenderness of the more popular rib eye, the cost is
    considerably less.

    Recipe by Bill Hilbrich

    UDD Note: I typically will use lemon-pepper mix instead
    of the salt & pepper listed in the ingredients. Works
    for me.
