I had a cousin who made an interesting spicy stew with boiled peanuts. You still had to get the peanuts out with your fingers so you could shell them, so it was messy, but it was delicious.

Of course not.  You take the soggy peanut in your fingers, give a little pinch, pull it apart, and then eat the goodness inside.

You can eat the shells of fried peanuts. They get stuck in your throat and teeth a little, tho. Like hay but tastier.

I love boiled peanuts, but I never understood the purpose of fried peanuts.  They taste OK, but they are like chewing on wood.

I try to convince anyone driving through the south that they should stop and get boiled peanuts when they see the signs!
I did stop in North Carolina at roadside farm stand and got boiled peanuts, I ate about 2 of them and threw the rest in trash where they belong.

I might try them sometime. Roasted, they are excellent. Roasted and smashed into peanut butter, also excellent.

It is indeed filo dough with almond splinters in between layers. I'm not sure if filo is worth the hassle if it's interchangeable with a regular pie crust though.

They are interesting.
Are they supposed to have a grassy, unripe flavor?

I guess, they are made from green peanuts which haven't been allowed to dehydrate. They are considered immature. The canned ones are good, but they taste like they came out of a can. Did you try heating them up? You can put them in a bowl and microwave them for a couple minutes.

I'm sure they are better fresh. Like the difference between fresh and canned green beans.
I'll try heating them.

Don't eat the shells.  That is probably why you don't like them.  You only eat the shells on fried peanuts.

Chicken and dumplings.



Strawberry tarts. I have determined that a homemade crust definitely tastes better than a store bought one.



Cornbread. Pretty easy to make it turns out.

I'm very glad that I found a use for the iron skillet since I have a ceramic cook top. Something about cooking with iron feels so manly.

I have always kept butter out on a plate with a bowl over top. I never tried mashing it and adding water tho.

I'm trying a potato bread recipe today. I need to up my bread game. I'm really not doing a good job getting loaves I am happy with. They taste fine, but they seem like they aren't getting as much oven spring as they should. I think it's a combination of poor shaping and maybe being impatient on the second rise.

I use high gluten bread flour for pizza dough.
Bread flour must be perfect for bread also, right?

I mean it's right there in the name.

Turns out 50/50 with AP makes a much better product.

And adding cake flour makes a sponge.  >:(

Maybe I need to be more creative with my flour selection. I tend to use either 100% bread or 100% AP.

Bread flour does make for good pizza dough. I want to order some 00 flour sometime to test. Apparently it's the pinnacle of pizza dough flour.
