‘specially when you melt stuff on it under the Salamander.
Our new oven is a gigantic Salamander. Flames from above, instead of below. It’s a beast of a broiler. We have daily flatbreads on our new happy hour menu. You proof the dough balls a bit, then stretch them into ovals, and cook them in this thing. Then you save them for later. Later, when you get an order for flatbread special, you put all sorts of stuff on it — chicken, roasted red peppers, and goat cheese, for instance — and put it into this thing for 20 seconds, and everything is melty and good.

We had a huge Viking that has a 35,000 BTU burner smack in the middle for a wok. It works super heating up big pots, cast iron pans/pots and flatirons for breads. That sorta ate up the space for the salamander we were considering putting in for all sorts of stuff, big seared steaks as a beginning. Salamanders are fun.
So the BBQ grill gets the nod for seared stuff as the Viking became the center of the kitchen.

A normal salamander you can just mount to the wall behind the flat or the multi-burner stove. This thing we got is something else. It’s what Ruth’s Chris™ uses. The boss and Chef went up to the Amway Grand Hotel in GR to look at this thing, and decided, yep.
It’s a giant salamander, with a roll-out drawer, with a flat on top. 1500 degrees.
Chef hated it at first. He was used to a standard broiler, with flames from below.
He absolutely loves it now. It’s a tool.

Yup, seen them many a time at Ruth’s, hence my slab of meat quote. Problem was that the Viking and associated thru-the-wall range hood ate up the available space, only other kitchen wall that had an ‘outside’ has windows, sink and sideboard.

I told him he said my beans were the best he ever ate, so maybe that was why. lol

like the Karankawa Indians in Tejas…
factoid….
One myth about the Karankawas is that they practiced cannibalism. It is true that if they captured an enemy chief or warrior, they would kill him and eat him. However, the purpose of this was not for sustenance. Instead, the purpose was to capture the power that resided within that warrior. The fact that the Karankawas were shocked when the Spanish explorer Cabeza da Vaca told them that some of his companions had eaten their fellow expedition members to stave off starvation indicates that the Karankawas did not consider fellow humans a food source.
The Karankawas rarely stayed at their camps for more than a month or two, primarily because of the availability of food. They generally traveled by dugout canoe when they were moving from island to island, although they also traveled by foot, living in portable wigwams capable of holding as many as eight people. The constant search for food drove the Karankawas to wander throughout southeastern Texas.

Last Saturday, I made my annual purchase of lefe (Norwegian flatbread) at the fall bake sale put on by some of the stalwart Lutheran ladies here in this little Oregon town. Funny – Lutheran ladies here are fully as stalwart as the Lutheran ladies in the Red River Valley. I have concluded that the Lutheranism is not what makes it so, but the Scandinavianism/
Anyway – at the bake sale in the church basement they had the obligatory, very official-looking, sign:
The items being sold today were not made in a licensed kitchen.
We all grew up in unlicensed kitchens.
I did some things with dough and cinnamon in my kitchen yesterday that, I can assure you, either are completely unlicensed or ought to be. [one of those days when I cling [past tense clang??] to my “Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow” award, received in 1961 or thereabouts. It says TOMORROW – always TOMORROW. And that takes the pressure off when unlicensed stuff happens.
In my experience, unlicensed kitchens are a particular provision from the Sovereign God.

Hey, as long as we have a source/provider/resource – we are good to go. I gave up making lefse years ago.
In my youth, my Danish aunts (I’m 100% Danish) questioned me closely!! when they found out that I liked lefse. Danes do not specialize in lefse. It’s a Norwegian thing. My husband’s heritage is Norwegian-Swedish. I thought lefse was good. Anything that can serve as a delivery system for sugar and butter is a fine thing in my opinion. My aunts were troubled, I tell you, and sort of said, “We don’t eat that. I don’t know why you think that’s good to eat.” [noses just slightly in the air]

I meant to make the cinnamon star bread I posted the recipe for today, and give you a report on it, since you said you were going to make it. I discovered that I had forgotten to buy one of the ingredients, so on the fly I made the maple nut cinnamon twists that were posted, I think it was John Denney who gave us the link. Sharon, easy, even though I can never get dough into perfectly round forms. It wound up looking exactly like the picture, quite beautiful, and was one of the easiest treats I have ever made. It was so delicious. I mean, one of those things I can’t believe I pulled off, yet it was so easy.
We had the obligatory biscuit and gravy breakfast for my son’s birthday midmorning, and I meant to have this to snack on while we waited on the biscuits. It took a little longer to rise than I had anticipated by the recipe (cabin was kind of cool this morning) so I wound up not cooking it until the biscuits came out. Anyhow, my family, who normally consider just about anything else on a plate except pork and a narrow pile of eggs as taking up unnecessary biscuit and gravy room, actually loved it right along with the main fare.
I just had another plate of it, now cold of course, and it’s better than it was hot. If you want the recipe and didn’t save it let me know. Takes about an hour and a half, according to the recipe, and well worth it. It will go right up there in the recipe favorites. And it was a whim that I made it because I normally do not like cinnamon rolls.

I have mental blocks where anything vaguely related to “homemaking” is concerned. I’ve learned that I CAN “DO IT” if I just persist.
But, often, it’s just not a very pretty process and it’s surely better that I don’t have an audience when I’m learning.

A few rusty synapses just fired. A few years back a friend wanted to cook a pig on an open spit for a family party and asked for my help. He’d cut down an oak tree a year before so we had plenty of wood, we started building the coal bed at about 6 PM and while the wood was burning in we prepared the marinade to mop on and made dozens of slits in the pig and stuffed garlic cloves in. We had enough coals by about 11 PM so we mounted the spitted pig and began cooking it. We drank beer, took turns putting logs on the fire, turning the spit and sleeping. Right on schedule at about 11 AM the pig was done…now how do we serve it?????
We looked around in the barn and there were three saw horses and a old door.We quick cleaned the door off, covered it in plastic and wrapping paper and put it on the saw horses. Diners were armed with knives and forks and we rough-cut the pig with scimitar knives and let everyone go…here it comes…hog wild. That was our presentation…final presentation was a pile of sucked-clean hog bones on the table.

In my world you have food that tastes good and presentation with ‘tastes good’ in the one, two and three slots with ‘presentation’ somewhere around eight or nine…not sure what’s in-between. I like to serve in big table containers and the eaters get to load their plates, bowls, whatever with what they want in quantities they want…they want ‘presentation they can present. Presentation to me is satisfied diners spraddled on the couch, top buttons undone and groaning.

The serfs and peasants of Europe have their origins in the last part of the Western Roman Empire. Taxes became so high, that family farms couldn’t pay them. People sold their farms and stock to the large land owners and left, or they became slaves and stayed in the homes and worked the land since slaves didn’t pay taxes.
It reminds me of the recent articles about college students joining websites looking for a sugardaddy or sugarmama to pay their debts and buy the stuff in exchange for…whatever their new owner demands I suppose. Funny that there is no outcry of human rights violations.

I have several family members that are teachers, so I see a lot of whining about their lack of pay from those that haven’t blocked me. I usually try to ignore their stuff on my newsfeed until I get fed up and comment, which is why some have blocked me.
I’m about to the point of ticking off another one because for a month now I keep seeing stuff about a school bond and how anyone who doesn’t vote in favor don’t care about the kids. Her and her teacher friends are really getting on my nerves. I made sure I wasn’t following her to cut back on seeing stuff, but some of it still gets through. On one of her posts I saw today about how this bond needs to pass because her kids have books that are 10 years old. She just wanted everyone to know if they cared more about paying a few extra dollars in property taxes then they don’t care about their kids or grandkids getting an education. Anyway, her and her teacher friends got into a pity party about how bad it is they’re paid so little, but you’d think they’d care about their kids. Then their pity party became about how stupid their students are, always asking how to do something they’ve already told them how to do.
If I had children in their school I’d be just a little ticked that teachers were calling kids stupid.
Now get this several of their complaints about stupid kids was them asking how to do a problem and them having to tell them numerous of times to get online and go to Google Mathmatics(this is how 3 of them spelled it, maybe that’s why kids can’t find it if they don’t know it is spelled MATHEMATICS.)
I went to Google and searched for Google Mathematics and it appears to be an app. Those talking are 5th and 6th grade teachers, do all 5th and 6th graders have a phone or tablet to download an app? I’m debating asking if they want apps to teach children then why do we need teachers?

I got an excellent foundation to my education, especially in junior high school, and I lived in one of the poorer sections of town. I’ll state the reason one more time. I was fortunate enough to have had some of the best teachers.
Especially in math and English, reading, geography (which is mostly all useless now, the world has changed so) and composition, my kids never got anywhere near as good an education as I did, and we sent them to private schools.
I worked and worked with them. Some of it took. One of them writes very well, but he still isn’t as good at it as I am.
In high school they would have papers they wrote graded, and have no comments. I would find errors and be so mad. Mostly I tried to catch their work ahead of time and make them do it correctly.

I was blessed to have good teachers as well. My teachers expected you to write and speak well. They would be appalled at how teachers today speak and write. My kids went to a small country school that only went up to 8th grade, they also got a good foundation. Now there were some bad teachers in each grade, the good thing though was because it was small each grade had two teachers and I made sure they got the best teacher each year.
Those teachers loved their job and they didn’t do it for the money. A favorite teacher of mine in HS I kept in contact with for years. She taught well into her 70’s because she was disgusted with what colleges were putting out and wanted to educate as many kids as possible for as long as she could. If she was still alive she’d really be disgusted today.
Today they care more about running off to protest for more pay, make go fund me accounts for supplies and whine on Social Media about how tough their jobs are and how disrespected they are. Of course in their world respect is salary. If your idea of teaching is to send kids to an app then imho you deserve no respect and you’re being paid too much.
My daughter tells me all the time reading how they write and spell on Facebook and how they call kids stupid makes her more determined to homeschool.

When he was younger there were only certain kinds of meat he would eat, he preferred veggies. She will eat any kind of meat and you have to force her to eat veggies, about the only thing she will eat without a fight are carrots. He still hates bread, she loves any kind of bread.
He’s always been content playing for hours, when he was her age you could put him in his bouncer or walker and he would play forever. Her on the other hand stays about 5 minutes and wants out.
