    I hit that agree. This one seems more pronounced than usual.

    I’d buy a plane ticket for that lunch, @Paolo.
    I'd be ready to pick you up at the airport, I work there btw
    That’s a generous but reckless offer! My wife and I often talk about going back to Rome. 

    Reckless offer not valid for the competition! You should come to Milan which is well worth a visit 😄

    Saw that cook (was it Sam?) and it looked like a keeper; how was it?  (looks delish!)

    Totally outside the normal fare.  Awesome cook.
    Stand-alone for sure as noted above.  
    Great documentation.  Otto was a taste tester...?? I'm sure!

    Chef John referred to a viral recipe on social media with "a bazillion views", and offered up his version, which sounded good so I made it this weekend.  I couldn't find the original on EweTube (lots of copies) so it must be on another social platform that I don't use.  Sounds like the original title was "Turkish Chili Pasta", CJ's version was ground turkey but the original may be beef, I don't know.  
    I used a lb of frozen ground turkey that's been in the freezer only a couple months, it had kind've'a "skin" on it under the tube wrapper, but it smelled okay.  
     

     
    It didn't taste okay, kinda "old".  Had a bellyache Sat afternoon and decided to dump the rest, and start over.  It's a pretty traditional set of chili seasonings, with the addition of one stick of butter (which can't be bad, right?).  It's then topped with greek yogurt with a bunch of fresh garlic and thinned with a bit of water.  It was excellent Saturday, quite pungent Sunday, and damn near inedible today; my breath could probably knock over an outhouse.  Uff-dah!  
    I made the second batch with beef, think I'm done with ground turkey for awhile.  Have 2/3rds of it left, tomorrow I'll add a can or two of beans and forego the pasta.  And shredded cheddar on top!

    Looks and sounds great. Sorry about your turkey. That’s too bad. I sometimes buy the giant tubes of ground turkey from Costco and portion them into 1lb bags for freezing. Never experienced any kind of “skin” on it. 

    At first, I read your post as though you kept eating the leftovers despite the stomach ache on day one. Then I re-read.

    Yeah, I did a poor job on that write-up; it was the white sauce with the garlic that went downhill over 3 days.

    tubbertall burkey turgers straight from the freezer.  

    kinda ashamed and scared so i typed them in unsearchable code
  • it’s still within the edit window but happy to report that a slice of american cheese, mustard and pickles on a brioche bun (forgot the onions) was a really good turkey burger. the egg can work wonders. around 350-400 and 8 minutes one side, flip rotate manage etc to 165 degrees.

    That's a great load of beautiful salmon.  I presume you closely follow the above linked process?

    Thanks. Yes it's my go to recipe/process, with minor tweaks...substituted 1/2 cup soy sauce with water since we don't like too much salt; reduced salt by 1/3; doubled garlic powder, onion powder, pepper.

    Sorry, can't help you on this, don't know what boston italian bread is. I just used a recipe for sourdough burger buns, first time I do it.

    If you send me five to 10 samples and I survive them, I can certify the safety of this cook.
