Which Cooking Are You?

No pics, but tonight was taco night.  Deep-fried shrimp tacos with roasted tomatillo and cowhorn pepper salsa, and miso and garlic-confit refried beans between the doubled corn tortillas for Colie, and deep-fried avocado (and the same other things) tacos for me.  Guacamole and homemade tortilla chips as a starter.  The grocery store had some great looking big freshwater shrimp on sale, so I also made four pan-seared freshwater shrimp with a chipotle-lime vinaigrette for Colie.  Pretty good stuff, especially with a brace of grapefruit-based cocktails.

One positive thing about having Texan parents and living in Texas was learning to make "proper" biscuits and gravy.

Start with pork breakfast sausage of choice...

Cook until nicely browned...

You may need to add fat, if your sausage doesn't leave you with enough. I prefer butter, though my Aunt keeps a bowl of bacon fat on hand just for such occasions...

Add flour and stir into fat until a nice roux is formed. Cook roux until a nice golden brown color is achieved. Mix into sausage...

Add milk and stir near continuously, until roux thickens milk to a nice consistency.

About bloody time someone did it right. So many people do it wrong around here.
