rootofnewtso, i read the word poutine and had the sudden urge for fresh fries covered with gravy and cheese.
i looked in the kitchen. eeep! not enough oil to fry. EEEP! not enough palm shortening to melt... wait, i can use some of *each* and still have a little oil left on the shelf! whooppeeee!
so... i cut up, rinsed, and dried two idaho potatoes... when the oil sizzled a piece of bread, i tossed in half the potatoes... fried them til they were toasty. meanwhile, i started a packet of brown gravy (vegetarian, organic, soy and mushroom free, somehow). i added a little tennessee sunshine... then realized it needed more tang and bite... hello, tamarind chutney.
not having fresh cheese curds and boy yelling "HEY, YOU CAN'T HAVE MY COTTAGE CHEESE!", i opted for half fresh mozzarella and half shredded aussie cheddar.
hot gravy, hot fries, melty cheesy wonderfulness.
even boy is eating it.
and he's supposed to be in bed. ;)
sure, there's no lard, no chicken/turkey gravy, no fresh cheddar curds... but this is damn good and tasty.
