Looks like I get a few days off in the kitchen, after deep frying my thumb last night. Wasn't even on the menu ...
On the upside, the new bread turned out decent, and dinner itself was most acceptable - Eastern Shore grilled cheese with bistro fries. This, my attempt to replicate a fave from a local restaurant. The sandwich itself is lump crab meat, sauteed mushrooms and assorted white cheeses; the fries are basic french fries, twice immersed in a mix of canola oil and rendered duck fat with an hour in the fridge between. It was on the second round that the 375°F oil splattered up on me, eliciting an impressive stream of profanity and sending me running for the first aid kit. The subsequent blister is horrifying - I'll spare you the picture. The fries were good, though - I guess it's time to invest in a new deep fryer.
