So this is a clean-out-the-camera post. Some of these I made quite a while ago, some pretty recent. And now, for your viewing pleasure:
Corned Beef Hash. Egg is not optional.
Adobo made with country-style pork ribs.
Indian spiced pickled kumquats.
Tomato & blue cheese soup repurposed as a pasta sauce.
OK, Sami, I finally posted something. Are you happy now?

Crispy Fried Trotters
First off, let me apologize for this photo. It's underlit. The composition sucks. Hey, at least it's in focus.
What is it? A fried pig's foot. I basically gave it the same treatment as the pig's tails I did before, but omitted the first deep-frying step. So - boil, dry, dust with flour, fry, salt.
Success? Depends. I thought this would be as glorious as the tails, but sadly, it wasn't. Feet just don't have as much meat on them. The crispy skin was wonderful, but there was too much gooey stuff inside that got a little weird from the frying. I guess Michael at A Dash of Stash was right when he said "I prefer them soft".
