Laundress and the Fried Chicken

[jetcone]

What on earth is

Congealed Salad and Cornbread dressing?

Over in England this summer I found out scones should be made with cream as the liquid. American Bicuits are lighter and fluffier. In a pinch I have used the new frozen Pillsbury biscuits they are pretty darn good.

This Christmas I am going to try my hand at Persimmon Pudding. Any takers there?

Because of this thread I dug out my daily user pressure fryer I bought 20 years ago. The reason I bought that one was it was the only one that can pressure fry as well as regular pressure cook. I use it every week but until this week I never pressure fried before. So out came the recipe book and whammoo I made the best fried chicken all brown and crispy. I used peanut oil as Canola doens't agree with me.
I tested it out on my tenants, they are begging for more this weekend.
Now that I have finally broken the "pressure fry barrier" Laundress YOU have created a monster.

Jon-

"Congealed salad" is a southernism.

"Congealed salad" is another word for "gelatin salad" or "Jell-O salad." They are one of my guilty pleasures. Love shredded carrots in orange gelatin. There are others. My maternal grandmother made one with lime gelatine, cottage cheese, and 7-Up. I did not get her exact recipe before the Alzheimer's set in. I've tried other recipes for it, but none are quite like hers.

I came across a congealed salad that sounded pretty dreadful, one that had sauerkraut in it.

I like sauerkraut in Choucroute Garnie (a French simmered dish of meats, seasonings and sauerkraut), and on a hot dog (but only once in a while!) and on New Year's Day (with a bit of carrot shredded in....sauerkraut for silver, carrot for gold.)

Does anyone else remember the celery flavoured Jell-O?

lime gelatin, cottage cheese, and 7-Up

Being of somewhat ethnic roots, these very typically "American" combinations are fascinating to me.

In south Florida, I learned of a "slushy".
Booze, 7up and ?. Freeze it and VOILA a slushy "sno-cone".
How's that for a cooling refreshing and uplifitng drink?
