Also, manicotti! The best reason to have a pastry bag.

nah, dad just really likes high life. the tradition part is that we just get kinda fucked up and watch football for like 2 hours before deciding on which John Wayne movie to watch.

The answer is always The Searchers.

I swear it’s me!

But seasonings.. depends on who is making it and where you’re from. Region makes a huge difference in technique and seasoning and is basically the sole reason I won’t ever go out for middle-eastern cuisine and really can’t stand my aunts’ (all 4 million of them) cooking. It always tastes like 50lbs of…

Are you suggesting that lawn decorations made out of painted tires is a bad thing?

I don’t know that I could ever put cumin on lamb. My ancestors would kill me in my sleep.

I’m making skirt steaks tonight and I really want to just cover it in just enough olive oil and adobo and grill it and just eat an effortless steak but NOOOOOO, she wants some kind of cilantro lime fajita junk.

Plus they’re easier to scrape out with a spatula so you can have more cheese in your mouth less of that hard work wasted!

It’s even better in Italian/Greek neighborhoods.

Poor Billy.

Or just say “fuck it”! Make a really big one and throw the whole goat in

For those playing along at home - Ball Wide Mouth pint jars are a good size to keep on hand. Plus you can fill them with caramel sauce when it isn’t cheese season, or make mayo or hollandaise or dressings in them, or use them to take little ramen soups to work like your friendly neighborhood Carl!

In four hours, you can have one too!

I do mine over charcoal with a little cherry smoke. JUST A LITTLE. Too much wood and you might as well just have done a cheap steak. Let the lamb shine through!

At about 275, it takes about 2-2.5 hours before I cut the twine and send it off to Sear-halla, then an hour to rest. I…

Well if it were a special occasion, sure. But this is the Leb side of the family, so we just call it “Sunday”.

As is tradition, I’m roasting a leg of lamb. Dad’s bringing pita from the bakery and it’s just the two of us, so we’re just going to burn one (or 5), eat shawarma and drink High Life until we fall asleep at halftime.

I would stay clear of hummus unless you’re making it yourself, and honestly.. invite Bob A. Ganooj…

You can also cut smaller portions of the dough ball into smaller balls, flatten them with your hand and bake them into “pita” bread.

No, it isn’t Syrian bread. It isn’t even really pita. But it’s a decently fluffy pocket bread that stands up to moisture pretty well. We used to do this at ye olde pizza shoppe instead…

It doesn’t even have the same rear wheels through the series of images.

I mean, there’s a lot of other reasons. But that irks me the most somehow.

I am hungover as fuck and just had orange soda and a spoon of peanut butter for breakfast. that particular potato chip looks like it could fix all of my life’s problems right now.

i’m sure - for ease of transfer (in case you need to do this multiple times) and to eliminate waste plastic - the same result could be…

The only thing I look for in a spatula is how many I can get for a penny.

Don’t forget the red lightning hose!

I suggest a Suzuki Esteem. That way, you can put your money toward advertising and a new wardrobe.

Bastard son of Otho

My first impression of that image was “holy shit is this a deleted scene from Amadeus”
