• Red Green - was Patriots

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to DAVE DRUM on Sun Sep 22 09:00:00 2024
    I know whatcha mean. The last new Red Green shows were from 2006. However
    you can stream any opr all at: https://redgreen.com/pages/watch

    Lately, our PBS station has been stuck in the c1994 seasons. Thanks for the tip, I will have to check that link out.

    I sorta miss the running gags and Harold - a joke in his own right. We
    had a plumbing/sewer servine company that used "Sewage and Septic Sucking Services." on its service tankers.

    During my trip to Canada in 2017, I was crossing the border at Grand
    Portage, MN. As I got closer to the Canadian border checkpoint, I realized
    a sewage and septic sucking truck had gone through before me and was parked
    at the facility, along with several other trucks and RVs.

    By the time I got through the checkpoint it was gone but, to this day, I am convinced 100% that it was Winston Rothchild. :D

    The Red Green shows are also available on Yoo Toob. Also on Amazon's

    BritCom (and possibly longest running on all TV) Last of The Summer Wine.

    Might have been returnoing from a promo tour. Or it might have been
    another plumbing service with a sense of humour like I had here.

    This is one of my favourite Canadian dishes - which I was introduced to
    at the Echo Picnic hosted by Florence Thompson in Hemmingford, Quebec.

    Title: Classic Quebec Poutine
    Categories: Potatoes, Cheese, Sauces, Poultry, Snacks
    Yield: 1 Serving

    1 lg Idaho Russet or Prince
    - Edward Island potato,
    - peeled, in 3/8" batons
    4 oz Fresh Cheddar curds

    MMMMM-----------------------VELOUTE SAUCE----------------------------
    1 qt Chicken stock
    2 oz Flour
    2 oz Oil
    2 ts Ground pepper
    2 ts Fresh-ground green pepper
    1 sm Onion; diced
    2 tb Balsamic vinegar

    This is a recipe for the Veloute sauce, which is the
    base for a poutine sauce. To make it into a poutine
    sauce, reduce it by a factor of 2-4 over medium heat.

    Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan.

    Combine the fat and flour, cook over high heat,
    stirring until you have a pale roux (2-3 minutes).

    Add the 2 ts pepper to the roux before adding to the
    stock, for an extra-peppery sauce. Floor-sweeping
    pepper (the kind sold pre-ground, in bulk) is
    preferred by classicists.

    Add the fresh ground green peppercorns to the stock
    while reducing.

    Prior to adding the to stock, dice a small sweet onion
    into the saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar, and reduce.

    Whip the roux into the stock. Simmer (30-40 min),
    skimming the surface every 5-10 minutes. Strain the
    sauce through a chinois or strainer lined with
    cheesecloth. Salt and pepper to taste.

    Keep sauce hot on a side burner.

    Deep fry the potato batons in 375oF/190oC oil until
    golden brown on the outside and creamy, mealy on the
    inside. Drain.

    Put pommes frites into a shallow bowl and sprinkle
    fresh cheddar curds across the potatoes. Top with
    sauce/gravy.

    Let rest for three minutes or so to allow cheese,
    potatoes and gravy to meld and mingle. Salt & pepper
    to taste and enjoy.

    A Dirty Dave recipe, based on what I had in Southern
    Quebec while attending the 1999 Canadian Caper picnic
    in Hemmingford, PQ.

    I found out about YT yesterday!

    Last of the Summer Wine is one of my all time favorite shows. PBS locally is stuck in the early 1980s on that one, but that is during the period when Bill Owen was still alive, Foggy Dewhurst was one of the trio, and Wally and
    Syd are still alive so I am ok with that.

    I have several of the early seasons on DVD. I bought them back when PBS
    was only showing the 1980s+ seasons. About a year after I got the DVDs,
    they started showing the early seasons. ;)

    I like that show, "Are You Being Served?", and "Faulty Towers" (aka "Farty Towels").

    Another Canadian recipe...

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Jellied Moose Nose
    Categories: Meats, Canadian
    Yield: 1 Servings

    1 Upper jawbone of a moose
    1 Onion; sliced
    1 Garlic clove
    1 tb Mixed pickling spice
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Pepper
    1/4 c Vinegar

    1. Cut the upper jaw bone of the moose just below the eyes. 2. Place
    in a large kettle of scalding water and boil for 45 minutes. 3.
    Remove and chill in cold water. 4. Pull out all the hairs - these
    will have been loosened by the boiling
    and should come out easily ( like plucking a duck). 5. Wash
    thoroughly until no hairs remain. 6. Place the nose in a kettle and
    cover with fresh water. 7. Add onion, garlic, spices and vinegar 8.
    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the meat is tender.
    Let cool overnight in the liquid. 9. When cool, take the meat out
    of the broth, and remove and discard the
    bones and the cartilage. You will have two kinds of meat, white
    meat
    from the bulb of the nose, and thin strips of dark meat from
    along the
    bones and jowls. 10. Slice the meat thinly and alternate layers of
    white and dark meat in a
    loaf pan. 11. Reheat the broth to boiling, then pour the broth
    over the meat in the
    loaf pan. 12. Let cool until jelly has set. Slice and serve cold.
