...so then, burgers. It's an American obsession. Let George show you how to make more regional smashburgers in his unique fashion. His Mom also provides a guide to Southern geography and language. Enjoy! BTW, George has dozens of these, and the Burger Show archives are a treasure.

I will share my pimento cheese recipe this weekend. If I don't forget, that is...

edit:

I also ask this question: Just how high is George? a) Julius Erving's Afro; b) Roland the Headless Tailgunner; c) Telstar; d) Betelgeuse

Add your thoughts below. I'm looking at you, @tommye ...

Never tried them before. Never mind never made. I seen them on a YouTube show called worth it. Always wanted to try
I haven't either but I'm thinking about making them tomorrow for dinner so wish me luck, otherwise I will be serving the Chinese Pork Belly and Kimchi Slaw on tortillas lol
 
Had some lovely sumac onions and tomatoes earlier with basil abd pine nuts.

Marinate a few shallots in a couple of tbsp of white wine vinergar, 2 tbsp of sumac and pinch of salt. Massage the sumac in well and leave fir an hour or so.

Slice up sone tomatoes- different varieties if you can - season well and combine with 2 or 3 tbsp of olive oil. Add a good handfull of fresh basil and some toasted pine nuts.

Lash it all together is a bowl and dig in. Nice bit if sourdough or rustic loaf goes well.

Edit - jesus my spelling is shocking

I won't judge your spelling as long as you tell me what is sumac onions? lol Never heard of it, is it an English seasoning?
 

The weather is changing in my area and with this change my desires for food also been altered. I have been craving a lot of salads this week. Below is a recipe for a super simple but tasty salad.

Pear & Arugula Salad with Candied Walnuts

View attachment 122181

Ingredients

5 minute Candied Walnuts


1 cup walnut halves/pieces (you can also use this recipe for candied pecans)

1/4 cup white granulated sugar (not coarse sugar)

1 Tbsp unsalted butter

¼ teaspoon salt

Salad
Servings: 4

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons walnut oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar or juice from 1 lemon

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

6 cups baby arugula

2 firm ripe red pears, sliced

1/2 cup Shaved parmesan or Romano. I have also seen this salad being made with Gorgonzola cheese but I prefer a mix of shave parmesan/romano

Directions

1. Prepare walnuts.

- Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp butter.

-Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently (with a heat proof non-plastic spatula) so your mixture doesn’t burn (especially towards the end). When the sugar mixture starts melting, stir constantly until all sugar is melted and nuts are coated.

-Transfer immediately onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Using two spatulas will make this task go faster. You don’t want to give the nuts a chance to turn into a wad of inseparable delicious goodness unless you are the only person who will be enjoying the wad ;). Seriously, move quickly from the time the nuts are coated until they are separated out on the parchment paper. Once the coating hardens (5-7 minutes), you can transfer them to a bowl or container for storage.

2. Prepare salad.

large bowl and whisk in oil, mustard, vinegar or lemon, and pepper. Add arugula, pears, cheese and the walnuts; toss to coat.
I used to make something very similar to this but we would poach the pears in wine and goat cheese with balsamic reduction.

RE: your pralined walnuts have you thought about getting a sugar sheet and letting them cool and then breaking them apart off of that? The sugar sheet has a lot of uses especially if you do a lot of baking.
 
I genuinely wonder what the Dandelions add to the flavor over and above the sugar/syrup, frankly.
A cup and a half of water to a cup of sugar will just make a basic sweet syrup. The dandelions would give it some flavour the longer you left them in the water would be better but I still don't see how this will yield a strong dandelion flavour especially if you add honey or maple syrup like she added as a tip in the video.
