So I’m sitting here, hungover, and I cannot stop thinking about food.  Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away and I’m pretty psyched about it, mostly because I get off work and get to eat some tasty deliciousness all day.

My family fries our turkey for the past few years, and I hated turkey until we did.  Some people may call it nontraditional, but I will tell you sir, it is tasty.

In my scouring of teh interwebs I have found a few nontraditional recipes that sound pretty awesome, and potentially heart attack inducing.  Because of my love for you, I will share them.

Disclaimer: I haven’t tried making these yet, so consume at your own risk.

Number 1. Homemade Biscuits

This one is from one of my favorite sites, Serious Eats. You can find the post for it here.  I would post the recipe but the freakin’ thing is like a book for something that looks like it will take about 10-15 minutes.  I made english muffins last year and those were good and easy. Moving on to biscuits.

Number 2. Deep Fried Mash Potato Balls

This is something straight out of my crazy brain, but then I googled it and found a recipe. This one also looks pretty damn easy, and I don’t see how fried fluffy balls of goodness couldn’t be delicious.

Make mashed potatoes into golf-ball or small balls, add cheese(s), as per taste. Freeze for 2 hours, or more.

Make batter from flour, milk, egg and salt. Gently dip mashed potato balls in batter, being careful that all exposed potato is coated with batter.

Deep fry in hot oil/fat until golden-brown. Consume.

Number 3. BACON.

Yeah. I ran out of ideas due to hunger.  Enjoy your weekend and eat heartily.
