Slide and Fail

We referred to it as "fast food night", which ended up being a trip to KFC and White Castle. Matt came up with the idea to make "Famous Bowls", everything you would want at KFC piled into a single bowl for convenient consumption. Mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, gravy and cheese coming together to form a whopper of a dish. They turned out awesome of course. Chavis covered the potatoes, corn and cheese while sarah and i took care of the gravy and chicken, which we double breaded and deep fried in her totally kickass fry daddy as well as in her totally kickass pan. MAtt was able to convince the people at KFC to give him 12 empty authentic "famous bowls" as well!


One of our favorite comedians Mr. Patton Oswalt coined the term "Failure Bowl". We came up with "victory Mounds", "Glory Bowls", and a smattering of other ways to refer to these abominable creations. Here is more on that:



Kitty had a hankering for sliders, which she nailed to a tee with authentic prep work and execution. Notice the holes in the patties! It's mad tight!



Matthew decided on fries to be his line of work. They were perfect for snacking before, during and after this insane victory. We decided to take a picture of the Crisco! OMG WHOA!!



And...... Oh snap! It's part 2 of our 62 part series, "Stuff in the Trash Can!" tatoe skins!! Wooohooo!



Buttermilk gravy (a far cry from the industrial goo that drowns the KFC Famous Bowls):

1/4C or thereabouts of leftover grease from frying chicken
1/4C or thereabouts of leftover seasoned flour from breading the chicken
3C chicken broth
3/4C buttermilk

Add flour to the leftover grease and cook for a few minutes. Slowly add the broth, whisking constantly to break up lumps. Simmer for a few minutes. Add more broth if it's too thick or simmer longer if it's too thin. When the consistency is right, add the buttermilk and heat through. Taste and adjust for salt & pepper if necessary. Serve on top of your favorite food pile.

P.S. I also think it would be delicious if you browned some onions in the grease before adding the flour. I meant to do that Wednesday but forgot, as you do.
