ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shit-ton, crap-ton, equal opportunity! HAHAHAHAHA

Oh man... we are wicked lucky to have made friends with a guy out in Brentwood, NH who has some gorgeous specimens! Runs about $18/lb for what he grows. His foraged mushrooms are typically about $24/lb. If you find yourself in southern New Hampshire, reach out!!!

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen oh I definitely will, I wonder if he ships them? I’d LOVE to try ones I’ve never had. (John from California)

@@ChezJohn They plan on the next supply being processed in about two to three weeks. They do have the option to ship. It will be boxed up with wall-to-wall food grade insulation and a crap ton of ice-packs. Give them a call though! See if they have anything in stock! Let them know Melanie sent you!!!

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen I went back thru our chat to look for the name of the guys shroom business so I wouldn’t keep PESTERING you lol, but it’s not there. Would you mind giving me the name of his business please? 🙏 Thank you. 😊

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen Thank you Melanie, I will DEFINITELY name drop lmbo. P.S. can’t wait for your next episode, I bet it’s “wicked cool,” with a “crap ton” of information. 😉

ROFLMAO No need to be sorry. I dont give tests at the end of the week! LOL Melanie, nice to meet you again! So - you probably already are using 80/20 with ground beef and pork, or 73/27 with 80/20. With ostrich being 95%-97% lean, Im only gifted 3%-5%. I ran three test batches... Ostrich with Ostrich tallow. Ostrich with one egg/sesame oil. Ostrich with two eggs... The ostrich/tallow was greasy. It didnt marry well after trying to develop the myosin. The ostrich/one egg/sesame oil/soup base. I found it paste-like. Even with developing the myosin, I found it mushy. Now, Ostrich/two eggs - I found a really good balance. Each egg has roughly 4.2g of fat. So - for a total of 8.4g of fat in one pound of ground ostrich, I was able to get myosin development (took longer to build but it did develop) and the right mouth-feel after cooking. No mushy texture, no wicked pasty texture, just the right mouth-feel. Does this make sense?

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen MELANIE!! I knew it was an “M” word lol. A lot of it does make sense, but I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer lmbo. No really I get most of it, thanks SO much. See you in the next one, and thanks for taking the time to chat. 😁 (John)

@@ChezJohn ROFLMAO! OMG I nearly spat my coffee out! LOL!!!! Whether it is here, FB, or IG, Im always around!

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen I’m glad I can start your day with a laugh. Have a great day. 😊

Hiya!!!! Thank you so much! Yep - we definitely have been enjoying the swap for sure! We had a boatload of fun working with this. Ill be whipping up more ostrich-meal ideas shortly. I will have an ostrich wonton video dropping 08/07/2024

Selamat! Greetings from New Hampshire, USA! If you dont mind, I will kindly follow as well!

By the way @feastfortwo - how did you come to find me? The fact this came across to you in Malaysia really made me smile!

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen Thank you☺

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen Maybe is the fact that stir fry noodles is quite similar with Malaysian stir fry noodles or Chinese stir fry noodles, i guess 😉

Some folks dont realize that most of the oyster sauce bottles on the market already contain added MSG. The same goes for tamari through San-J, it does not have it added but may end up with some because of the fermentation process. Kosher salt is more "accepted" by folks who have still yet to learn that MSG is safe/refuse to accept that it is safe. Personally, I am waiting to get a shipment of MSG to replenish my supply at home. We embrace MSG in our home. We also acknowledge that regular common foods have is naturally occurring. If you could see the sexy supply of local mushrooms that I have on my counter right now, it would blow the minds of the MSG-naysayers that their favorite wild mushrooms have natural MSG... LOL!

We have this one place in New Hampshire that I like to stock up on white pepper in bulk. I use so much of it.

This was absolutely amazing!!!

Huh? LOL

Dont know what you mean.

Thanks! It certainly was a big hit with the other half in the house! :)

Thank you so much! Happy New Year!

That is fantastic! Hope you have a wonderful and safe NY celebration!

This is one of my husband's favorite dishes!

The videos are created in a separate program and equalized prior to upload - so this is a KZbin issue.

Thanks a bunch. This sure as hell did NOT survive!

Thank you dahhhlin! This is something I am definitely keeping on rotation. Especially this time of year when all the good meat sales are hitting hard!

huh?

Truth be told, I love a good Chuck, freshly ground. There is more fat-to-meat found in Chuck and it really makes a difference on the mouth-feel. The local grocery store chain we have (local owned out of Massachusetts) will do these "Freddy Flintstone" cuts of Chuck steaks. I always request the meat to be harvested and ground up - AND to keep the bones in the package for stock-making. Chuck is also a great filling for homemade ravioli, lasagna, or any stuffed pasta!

Sounds great! Will definitely do this! My husband has always been a ground round person (says he likes the flavor better) I usually sneak in some ground chuck 🤣. I like the idea of having it ground up fresh 👍. Thankyou

@@vickicocosolo2099 awesome!!!!!

Hey there... Thanks so much! This really did come out awesome!

Good morning from New Hampshire, USA! Ohhhhh I can only imagine what you have run into, video-wise. Where I live, we have such a significant mixed representation of cultures/countries and I absolutely love all of it! I have met some amazing people from all walks of life through professional kitchens and also just walking into a family's business. My husband and I are fondly devoted to (what it is referred to here as) Persian/Middle-Eastern cuisines. The flavors, the freshness of the ingredients, and the love and attention that goes into this cuisine. It really is truly wonderful. I will always show kindness and respect because that's what this world needs again. Whether the cuisine I make comes from Turkey, Thailand, or Taiwan - no matter what, as a Chef, I respect the food and the cultures behind it when it is outside my country. You have made my morning so very bright, my friend!

I had a lot of fun with this. However, my husband had to be gone for several hours, so he could avoid the airborne aftermath! LOL!

Dont let this intimidate you. Let me know if I can help out in any way I can, ok?

So good!

Thank you Mike!!!

I'm aiming for this to be easy to cut. By piercing the inner section, it doesn't blow up/puff up. The edge does a little and that helps with preventing anything from spilling over. 😊

Ahhhhhhh , makes perfect sense 👍thankyou.

S'il vous plaît, pardonnez-moi. KZbin ne m'a pas donné d'alerte contenant votre commentaire. J'ai parlé avec des ressortissants ukrainiens qui vivent dans mon groupe démographique. Ils ont partagé quelques idées sur la façon dont ils ont fait ce plat à la maison. (J'utilise un traducteur en ligne. Mon français est très approximatif, alors veuillez m'excuser.)

Good morning!!! I actually have a person on my FB group who admitted "I watch because I wanna hear your New England accent" - HAHAHAHAHA

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen 🤣👍

Are you kidding? Thank you, my dear!

ROFLMAO~! That is awesome! We are doing as good as we can be. This time of year is mostly our traveling part of the year and we definitely look forward to that right up until/including Foliage season up north. Hope you are both doing well!🥰

Oh goodness, hello there! Thank you so much for your kind words! I had A LOT of fun with this. Im just thankful my husband is open-minded into trying most new things. Sometimes it requires a little coaxing but, he comes around. Let me ask you - how did you find me? I hope you dont mind, I will come visit you on your YT as well! Many wonderful wishes and blessings to you!🥰

Hi there Kelli! WOW, It's been a year I think since that video happened! Thank you so much! Yeah, I was contemplating it but, I was pretty much doing a lot of reading (let me rephrase, A PLETHORA of reading) on this YT-thing... I lost track of how much coffee I had to figure this out! HAHAHAH Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

@@KonkysCreativeKitchen 😊

OMG Hi!!!!! Thanks so much! Yeah, this is a house favorite!

Hello from New Hampshire! Thanks so much! I just peeked at yours - definitely love what you put together for yours! Question - how did you "find" me?
