> Softened butter and the back of a spoon. :)
 
Looks like I'm gonna hafta buy me some BIG wooden spoons. No kidding!
I don't have a one. Had some plastic spoons that were shaped like
classic old wooden spoons, but they were cheap Chinese plastic, which
melted like butter. I tossed 'em. ;)
 
Howzabout one of these?:

Just how much butter and sugar at one time are you talking about? You
can use the back of a tablespoon if you do it gradually in the bowl.
 
I gather you're not opening a 1900's Cake Shoppe. ;)

1-1/4 stk butter
3/4 C sugar
3/4 C bwn sugar

Only if I can make some $$$$. ;)
 
I think I'll be buying a used electric hand mixer from the thrift
store. I was too lazy to drag out my Kenwood, so did it by hand. The
only problem, now, is to not eat up all the damn dough (w/
raisins n' walnuts) b4 the oven reaches temp. ;)

I have had a mixer most of my life, but I made some cakes by hand when I
was in grad school. I also went without a car throughout all my years
in college. That was the pits, but the positive side of it was that I
left grad school without owing any money.

It's getting kinda dull, isn't it? Leftover mashed potatoes with onion
and egg added then pan fried by any name are not limited to specific
regions.

I never said nor implied bovine (meaning cow) Sheesh!. I said
bovery, which was a reference to Julie oft making a claim that
something was not known elsewhere in the US. And for heaven's sake,
everybody knows potato patties, or whatever you want to call them i
choose to make the croquette because I know how and can do it. That's
the point. You said what you made was not known outside of the south.
At this point, I am very sorry that I used a term outside of your
knowledge, I certainly had no ulterior motive.

I always thought that there was a difference between potato pancakes
and latkes. Now I am not so sure.

I was replying to Cindy's description of in which she said she ordered
potato pancakes at a diner and she was *expecting* something akin to
latkes and wound up with mashed potato pancakes.
 
I've never made latkes. I'm not sure what Grandma McQuown made were
technically latkes. She just called them potato pancakes.

Whatever. You may feel free to believe that your mis-name to
croquettes and then carryojg on ENDLESSLY over it makes you right.

Smile, probably not and if he is, it's not something he would say here.
You can discount those messages as not from him.

I don't have anything against any sort of e-reader or the technology. I
simply don't have the need for it. One thing I have easy and free
access to is books. :)

Yup. Crazy as this group can be at times, it's not generally a spot to
see racist comments. We may not all be pristine, but I've nt see any
here go after a person over the color of their skin. They can be
pretty vicious over what you do with potato though!

Discribe what you did and maybe we can help? Example, that temerature

The only time I tried wild duck, I didnt like it. I am sure some
purists will find that odd but i like the domestically raised sorts.

I have no idea what a "grunch" is, but from the sound of it, I'm glad
you have them and not me. ;)

On the soup, actually not really other than broth.
 
I'm finishing off the duck now and letting it rest. I am going to try
a sort of spring roll wrap alhough I have only thr super thin lumpia
type wrap handy for that. I do have flour tortillas and may make a
wrap as well.
 
For now, the broth has been filtered and the fat cooling off while the
broth part is in a cast iron with potatoes and some of the excess 1lb
of scallions (set to low, reducing).

Go to Pinterest or Google Images and type in "pork belly recipes" and
you'll find everything from banh mi sandwiches to tacos.
http://www.lacrema.com/pork-belly-banh-mi-sandwiches/
http://sharedappetite.com/recipes/pork-belly-tacos-with-ancho-chili-roasted-pineapple-and-avocado/
I would look for one that is more meat than fat though.

Looks like I'm going to be there again this week, so I will likely
pick up a package unless it's $50 or something. Thanks for the
recipe.
