poutine - a little taste of quebec here in nyc
The rents recently had the pleasure of spending a long weekend in Quebec City. They ate. They drank. They had a great time.
As for me, I have the pleasure of having some very thoughtful parents and it was in my honor that they brought back a bag of cheese curds and a St. Hubert melange a sauce aka sauce packet of poutine gravy.
Twas a ridiculously simple process. Slice up some russet potatoes that I bought from the farmer’s market this morning. Soak them in salt water for about 10 minutes to remove all that mucky starch. And then I fried them up in a mixture of safflower oil and vegetable oil (it was all I had).
It took about 14 minutes on medium-high heat to get them to the desired golden crispness. And then it was devoured. Quick. Merci Mere et Pere.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
