I need a ride to Alma's for some pies.

[CuervoPH]

Dang. And my Google search on "Pennsylvania Key Lime Growers" was, for want of a better word, fruitless. I'll place my order again after I've made a successful key lime hunting trip to FL.

[thefunkylama]

Excellent. Keep me posted on how many you manage to find. And if it makes you feel better, I don't think anyplace other than FL can grow key limes and be able to call them key limes. So I can't even get any.

HI LURKERS I SEE YOU STARING AT MY THREAD


GTFO, THE 12 OF YOU

[thefunkylama]

NOW THERE'S 16. WTFCANTYOUREAD

[thefunkylama]

That's more like it. Peeping Toms.

[miscorrections]

i like the word peep. and yes, if i can build myself a structurally sound foil cookie sheet i'll take a picture.

[thefunkylama]

Awesome. I get royalties.

[miscorrections]

only if i manufacture a bunch and sell them. i could thwart you and give them away for free.

[thefunkylama]

Damn.

[miscorrections]

well, i could give you a free one too. it's not quite royalties but at least it would be shiny.

[thefunkylama]

Ooh, shiny!

[miscorrections]

the shinier the better.

[thefunkylama]

yeah basically. I don't have many shiny things. Which is good, because I'm quite easily distra

[Stefinitely Maybe]

This thread actually made me drool onto my keyboad.

Alma - did you ever try making any savoury pies, as my ex suggested? Also, I think you should move to London and open a bakery pie shop (near my house, preferably). You would be rich. Seriously.

No way, Stef! Alma, if you are moving anywhere and opeing that shop, it should be here in Az. Your pies were deeeeeelicious!

[thefunkylama]

Stef, I am yet to try my hand at savoury pies(I prefer your spelling of the word, btw),but I hope to soon. So far, I've experimented with different methods of making the crust, bake times, etc. but for fillings I've kept it to old standards. We'll see what happens later this year. You'll be the first to know.


As for moving/setting up shop, I'm already moving someplace that is neither Arizona or London, and I have a dream to set up shop there. Once I get rich enough, though, I'll make sure AZ and UK are the first two places to get TheFunkyLamaPieCo's when I start a chain.

You should probably start here in Pennsylvania Dutch country. You could show these people there's life beyond shoo-fly pie. I volunteer to help bake for a modest wage of, say, one key lime pie a day.

[thefunkylama]

If you can manage to procure key limes in Pennsylvania Dutch country, I'll give you pies for free.

[CuervoPH]

You're on. We have a Wegmans opening here soon. If anyone can procure key limes here, it's them.

[thefunkylama]

Damnit.

A recipe to try:

Brat Rolls

One package Johnsonville Brats (or 6 of your favorite bratwurst)
6 tortillas, cut in half
Melty tasty yummy cheese of your choice (I used Dubliner cheese), sliced to 1/16th thickness
Stick of butter
Pan
Stove

Take the brats out of the fridge, unwrap, and cut in half. Let sit while you prepare the cheese and cut the tortillas. When you have done this, take a tortilla half and rub one side lightly with the stick of butter (margarine, if that's all you have). Lay one slice of cheese in the center, kind of crumble it if you have to make it fit. Place one piece of halved bratwurst on top of the cheese, and roll the tortilla around it. With the seam as the bottom, lightly rub the butter once more on the top and bottom of the roll. Set on a plate and repeat the process until all your brats are rolled.

Heat your pan (or griddle, no grills) to medium-lo, and coat the pan lightly with a rub of butter. If the butter bubbles, you've got the right temperature. If it browns, turn the heat down. Place as many of the rolls as will fit in your pan seam side down, just until it brown. Turn and heat the top, and then the sides until all four sides are golden and crispy. Cook the rest of your brats and serve warm with sauce and steamed broccoli.

Dipping/Drizzling sauce:

3/4 lemon, juiced
3 parts mayo to 1 part A1 sauce

Add ingredients together and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Adjust quantities to taste. Drizzle over warm brat rolls just before serving, with some extra on the plate for dipping.

Sorry. I should have mentioned. Serves 4.

[CuervoPH]

I am reading this while heating frozen veggies for lunch and thinking I should immediately drive to the store and pick up brats. Only fact one (I'm half dressed) and fact two (I'm lazy) prevent me from doing this. Looks like this will be a meal for me sometime next week though.

When Wegmans opens, I'll really start experimenting in the kitchen. Will post anything that I don't think will kill other board members.

[thefunkylama]

I look forward to it.

[CuervoPH]

I got my Wegmans shoppers card in the mail today. I went ahead and pre-ordered one online so when Wegmans opens here, I don't have to wait to receive the card.

Now the damn thing just needs to open so I can go on a wild shopping/spending spree.

[thefunkylama]

excellent news. Keep me posted, via this thread. Always.

[CuervoPH]

There are other threads?

[thefunkylama]

Well. There are rumors.

[ficklecycle]

PIEEEEEEE.

[Wheres the beef?]

yum.

[thefunkylama]

If you guys flood my thread the way you flooded the lounge, I'll kick you out. With pie.
