Hawaiian mac salad varies.
 
Some with potatoes.
 
Some with tuna.
 
Others with neither.
 
The one constant is Best Foods Mayo.
 
Gotta gotta gotta!
 
Hellman's here in the mainland.
 
And Best Foods mayo are the same product.
 
 
Its crazy.
 
Tex-Mex joints get judged how good their queso is.
 
In Hawaii.
 
Its all about mac salad.
 
the one you posted is what you prefer? cabbage is mandatory? here Hellmans is #1 and everything else is second rate. here it isn`t right unless there is sugar and vinegar in the recipe, hence the sweet and tangy. don`t get me wrong, just a hint of sweet.

Negative.
 
So many variations of Hawaiian mac salad.
 
I don't use cabbage.
 
Tuna or potatoes.
 
Mine is cooked mac.
 
And then splashed with vinegar.
 
Hellman's.
 
Minced onion.
 
Sometimes with shredded carrots and/or peas.
 
Always splooged with hot sauce.

We did the TD this weekend. WOW! Definitely some epic posts.


I have some other pics to post of previous cooks. My phone camera sucks, the kindle camera isnot much better....let's try the tablet camera!

Pork loin out of the freezer. EVOO, seasoning salt, pepper, sage, oregano
Carrots and celery

Fish all the bits out and make gravy!!!!

About a cup of broth.
Mix 2 tsp flour with 1 cup water or milk. Mix well!!! No lumps.

Have the broth at a low heat, dump in the flour mix all at once and whisk well right away so no lumps cook.

Turn up the heat and while stirring away, let it come up to a simmer to cook it all.

I could make a meal out of that.
 
Give it to me!
  
TB, it was so easy, really good and fresh, and none of the preservatives in the commercial stuff, Last little bit of it for breakfast this morning.

Oh Wow!!!!
This just became today's dinner, except I'll probably not use lamb.

We are making our weekly shopping list, puff pastry on it.

A tip for when you do it.
 
All the juices and fat from the meat will run out while it is being cooked, get rid of that half way through the cook or the puff pastry will have a soggy bottom.
 
I even changed the baking paper.
 
Thanks for the tip.  What do you think about cooking it on a baking rack? or par-cook the meat ahead?
 
 
This has been moved to sunday as I have some fresh halibut that needs to be cooked today.
 
 
Edit- 'soggy bottoms' reminds me of The Great British Baking Show where the death knell of a bake is a 'soggy bottom'  :lol:
 
I would also point out it is open-ended and you could pinch/fold etc. the sides. You would still get that nice log shape when you sliced it so you could make one or two long ones, sealed, and slice it into logs. Who gets the ends? Baker's treat. ;)

I know modern digital ovens have the option of C or F, but how come the older ones never got smart like cars (Kilometer and Mile) and put BOTH on the dial???
 
now I gotta go google it.....:sigh:
 
Conversions
 
 
210C = 410F
 
If y'all are looking for some sports on TV... the Johnsonville Brats Amercan Cornhole Championship is on right now.




True Story....
 
A baking rack would do the trick.
 
I think if you sealed the ends then the juices wouldn't be able to run off at at all and probably turn the whole thing soggy.
 
The sausage roll is common in Australia as a take away food, you can buy them almost anywhere, certainly anywhere that sells meat pies will have them.
 
Usually beef though.
