Jan. 6th, 2010 10:18 amFor Xmas dinner I made the tastiest turkey I've ever had. I used this recipe from the LA times. Only about 24 hours of sitting with the salt, and the drying period was late night to mid-morning the next day. I put it in the oven, didn't baste it (I did add chicken stock to the dripping pan to prevent burning), and sliced it with an electric knife (which didn't alter the taste but was SO easy to use.)
It was the most turkey-tasting of any bird I've had.
Earlier in the week I made Julia Child's
Beef cooked in Beer. Good the same day, transcendent the next.

Worst Food Product Ever
Jan. 6th, 2010 12:03 pmThe household is more or less or a diet; basically it's modified Atkins where we cut out sugars/starches and alcohol for a month or so to lose the holiday chub.
I picked up a pack of these to address that gnawing need for something that tastes sweet that comes with this kind of diet.

It was disgusting. I wasn't even sure what it was supposed to taste like. It was like NJ Turnpike rest stop Roy Rogers mayonnaise with a slightly sweet taste, and an odd undertone of mint.
The chocolate is edible. But I'd die of hunger before I ate another one of the vanilla.
