Unexpected kitchen gift!
 

Bought a biscuit/cookie cutter in the shape of NM to make Christmas
ornaments for some 'ex-pats' who actually miss the place. On a whim,
asked a relative in NJ to send me one for that state, to make that
family an ornament.

What came by UPS today was an order from a bakin/candy-supply place*
with cutters representing 49 states (no Hawaii) and the District of
Columbia!

Now I need to sit down with the atlas to sort out the states whose
shapes aren't familiar to me LOL.

Anyone else get an unexpected kitchen gift lately?

Now that is a nice gift.

I received one yesterday.
It's a set called "Tea For Two". Includes: tea, bamboo tea
canister, two mugs, wooden tea tray, two coasters and tea infuser.

My husband did come home a week or two ago with a new ceramic chefs' knife,
which thrilled me. My eldest dropped a can on my other ceramic chefs knife a
month or so ago. It chipped the tip off.

I got a stovetop griddle that fits over two burners. It's very old
and has a beautiful seasoning. It's kinda fun to be able to move
stuff around to different areas of heat. Louise paid a buck for it at
a resale store. I love it.

I had one that was made for camping and wasn't long enough to use
properly over two burners. This one is 22" X 11" plus the lip. I
sold the other one in a garage sale for buck, so I guess this one was
free.

Very nice gifts.

I may have missed your reply on peeling the green bit from watermelon
rind. Could you tell me again what you use? We just bought another
watermelon and I'd like to try pickling the rind. Ta.

You did miss it. Or it was posted somewhere else. Star brand peeler
made in Switzerland. U-shape. Google turned it up.

Well, it wasn't a kitchen gift, it was just a gift that will keep on
giving: the contract lawyer in our office who is a complete, total,
unredeemable idiot got fired. We will be moron-free on the 31st - and
another good part? I go on a 2 week vacay on the 18th, so I
essentially only have to deal with the maroon for another 6 business
days. Whoo hoo!

OB: Made a batch of apple fritters for the first time this past week.
Note to self: fritters are nasty. Do not make again. Ever.

They each have their uses...I use the ceramic knife for things like slicing
tomatoes, slicing thin slices of fruits and vegatables, slicing meats for
stir-fry (which I can get way thinner with the ceramic), etc. I still use
steel for dicing, chopping, etc.

I love the ceramic, but I would definitely want both.

Y'all who don't like fritters haven't had great ones. ;)

My mother made them all the time when I was growing up: corn and apple
fritters. If they are made well, they are not greasy and can be very
light.

I don't have a recipe. In fact, even though my mother made them, I
haven't in years and years. I am pretty sure I did under her tutelage
when I was growing up, but I haven't done it in a very, very, very
long time. Like at least 40 years...LOL.

Hmm...I should go looking for one..and try them again. I loved the
corn fritters my mother made.

They were a complete grease-a-rama. My mother made these things when I
was a kid and I don't recall them being, essentially, pureed apple
grease blobs. Tasteless, greasy and nasty. I made them from a Food
Network recipe, as I don't have my mother's recipe.

The recipe I followed:

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Apple Fritters

desserts

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
juice of one lemon
1/4 cup water
2 cups chopped apples
splash apple brandy
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, separated
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
drizzle cane syrup
confectioners' sugar

Preheat a deep fryer.

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for
30 seconds to dissolve the sugar. Add the lemon juice, water, apples,
brandy and cinnamon. Cook the apples for about 3 to 5 minutes or until
the apples start to wilt. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter and cooled
apple mixture. Stir in the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture.
Blend until the batter is incorporated. Cover the batter, place in the
refrigerator and let rest for 2 to 4 hours.

In a standing mixer or with a whisk, beat egg whites until stiff.
Remove the batter from the refrigerator and blend until smooth. Fold
in the beaten egg white. Using a large spoon, drop the batter into the
hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from
the oil and drain on paper-lined plate.

To serve, Mound the warm fritters on a platter and drizzle with cane
syrup. Garnish the fritters with powdered sugar.

If anyone has a decent recipe for apple fritters that actually *taste
good* please lemmeno.

This recipe doesn't say what temperature to fry them at.

The other variable I can think of is depending on how sweet the
apples are, there is an unknown ratio of sugar in the mixture.

Two comments, Terry. I would probably not pre-cook the apples, or at least
barely cook them at all. Second, the greasiness was probably caused by oil
that was not hot enough. That's typical of almost any deep-fried food.
Low temp = greasiness.

I'll have to look for the fritter recipe I have used in the past.

I don't remember my mother precooking apples for fritters. By the
time the fritters were done, the apples were just cooked...

And I think she pan fried hers...

Another thought. I seem to remember the batter she used was sort of
like pancake batter. And the apples were cut in slices like for an
apple pie..and there were about 2-3 slices per fritter...

Of course, it has been years and years since I have had these, so my
memory might be hazy on all of this.

The idea of corn fritters sounds good. Not so sure about apple
fritters.

Heh. I have two (inherited one somehow) and I don't like either one.
I got it for the grill side, but the griddle side isn't very good
either.
