The idea of corned beef has never appealed to me.  Then I saw a cook on Food Network's Drive-Ins, Diners and Dives, make it by grinding his own corned beef roast and adding diced potato.  That gave me the idea to try it for myself.  Plus, it gave me an opportunity to play with the grinder.

Ice cream

Vanilla, one with fresh pineapple the other with banana both were frozen then blended with mixture made with Tahitian vanilla beans. No extract.
ganache is a handful of dark chocolate chips with a splash of milk microwaved for 30 seconds.

Here's the thing about this ice cream.

Papas fritas

The thing is, I had a sack of very large Idaho potatoes that were starting to bud. I'd hate to waste the whole lot, so I picked off the buds, rinsed them off and stuck them in the pressure cooker, which is large. Just managed to press them all in. Cooked them at the first red line for twenty minutes which turned out to be a few minutes too long. Pealed them after they were cooked, an unnecessary step. I cut them all into large wedges, they'd be thinner wedges had they not been so soft. Froze them all except for one potato which I cooked in oil. Dehydrate fry at 350℉.

Took twenty pictures of my fries then realized my lens had a big ol' fingerprint on it. Don't you just hate it when that happens?
