Lookin' good there, FatCity.I'm a Chinese carryout junkie. Few make the cut. It helps living in a city where an original colony of Chinese Immigrants settled in the 1800’s looking to find fortune in the Gold Rush and building projects. Third largest Chinatown in the US for a time in the 1900’s.

Nothing to it.
1 1/2 cups of warm water a little honey and a packet of yeast in a large bowl and let that proof, about 10 mins.
Mix 4 cups of unbleached AP flour and 2 tablespoons of Kosher salt.
Add the flour mix to the yeast (after is proofed), half at a time and mix to form your dough.
Remove and knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes.
Coat a bowl with olive oil, put the dough ball in that bowl, flip and get oil on both sides. Cover and let sit for 1 1/2-2 hours at room temp to rise.
Push it down a little, cut it in half and work each half into rectangle. Keep folding in half while lengthening. Keep fold on bottom.
Put on flat pan (I use a cookie sheet) that has been dusted with a little flour or corn meal and let the loaves rise for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Boil 2 cups of water on the stove top in an oven proof pan ( I use a small cast iron)
Transfer the water to the lower rack in the oven or on the oven floor if you can
After the loaves have risen the 1/2 hour or so, cut a few slits across the top, splash with a little water and put in the oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes.
All done.
The water helps give a little steam/humidity in the over to give the loaves a hard/crisp crust.
Thanks Scott !!

Wife whipped out a small batch of small size flour tortillas this morning for breakfast so I made dinner with the extras. Beer battered cod soft tacos with all the accoutrements. Cotija, Creme fresh, avocado and some Tapatio. Pic is before Tapatio. And a cucumber/tomato side salad, little fresh lemon juice and tajin ![[Linked Image]](http://i68.tinypic.com/2h6bt5w.jpg)

Ahem....Mr. FatCity......how does a person go about making a tortilla like that? We make some yellow corn tortillas from scratch, but those look a lot different. Anyway, we got our beef back from the butcher yesterday. Wife put about 3 months worth of store bought finishing pellets into him. We like to use barley, but could not find any and we needed to change the flavor on this critter in a hurry. The butcher has a waiting list and you better be ready. Otherwise its usually several months out. I pan fried a few of the rib steaks tonight. Very good flavor and nice and tender. The steer was originally going to be a grass fat animal, but with the drought and nasty winter we decided to finish on grain. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/1e3f6t7.jpg)

A bit of leftover matzo ball soup tonight. It starts with the chicken, a bunch of chicken feet and some of the innards... ![[Linked Image]](https://s9.postimg.org/pgrneagv3/29570805_10156091543298592_5910687810655947396_n.jpg) After a full day of simmering, the broth is ready (all solids are removed) and the matzo balls go in to boil ![[Linked Image]](https://s9.postimg.org/5m5ls5txr/balls.jpg) To finish it off, I ground up some horseradish to add to the soup. We like our horseradish really potent and while a gas mask ain't 100% necessary, it sure helps things. ![[Linked Image]](https://s9.postimg.org/rlc0fe5n3/mask.jpg)

I saw some chicken feet at the store the other day......damned if I could figure out what anyone would do with em but now I know....thanks....I think.
The gas mask seems a little over the top but I've never ground my own horse radish so what do I know.
Jim.....that beef looks delicious.

My goodness your meat has me salivating😎 Water, lard, flour, salt and I think a little baking soda. Learnt it from My Paternal Grandmother. Honestly the poor thing could barely boil water when we started dating in college. It’s the darndest thing lots of rolling into little balls to rest. Then flip floping with the hands and plop on to a large round Lodge griddle, called a comal in Spanish. These tortillas are called gorditas or “little fattys” because they are the size of a corn tortilla, soft, fluffy. She said lots of good recipes on the net but it’s the rolling, resting and hand manipulation you have to practice. To be sure I never get these homemade but once in a blue moon now since all the kids are off to college and out on their own.

Haven’t had a good homemade matzo ball soup in since high school. Buddies Grandmother made it.
Chicken feet for stock. Old school.

Wife’s broccoli blue cheese salad for Easter Sunday dinner at her family get together. Walnuts, bacon, craisains, red onions, blue cheese and her ranch style dressing which has dill, powdered garlic, balsamic and cider vinegar, and some other stuff. I just raced through the kitchen to get a beer and grab a taste. ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.tinypic.com/103e4pv.jpg)

Jim.....that beef looks delicious. If you're only grinding a small amount of horseradish there's not much of a problem. I was grinding about 5 lbs of it, though...after a while it has the same effect as tear gas. Eyes burn and shut, nose runs crazy, can't breathe, start to wretch... The feet are actually the key to the best chicken stock. They make the flavor richer and deeper than any other part of the chicken can do.

Gotcha...that did strike me as an awfully large amount of Horseradish..... I'm sure home made is better than commercial but no more than I use I think I'll just stick with store bought.....well that and the fact that I don't own a gas mask.

Never heard of gumbo starter, but the finished product looks killer!

I used this recipe (half a batch) cept I added a can of seasoned Collard Greens and gave it a good splash of hot sauce. It was delicious.....I'll definitely make it again. http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/hoppin-john-rice-and-black-eyed-peas-134205

Trust me, the gas mask is NOT over the top.
Only made the mistake to grind some indoors ONCE!

Looks great, FG!
I roasted a chicken tonight. Green beans and roasted potatoes to go with. Chicken came out real nice.
