Tried an proven old recipe with a slightly new twist last night. Looking for something with a "wow" factor to serve with prime rib at Christmas so a test run was in order. After normal prep and before adding the salt & pepper I applied a good dose of Duck Fat Spray. Duck Fat Spray is a Nebraska product I can find locally in most any store but I see they now sell it on Amazon. It's pricey ($8.49 - $9.99). I've tried it on chicken and turkey but I think it gets lost on poultry. It really loves potatoes. This was at 1 hour at 425 and realistically should have gone 1 hour at 450.

* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun
Duck Fat Spray - fantastic stuff!!! I would rank it up there with Dorothy Lynch for Nebraska products. Then again, I am a Husker homer. Try the Duck Fat Spray on popcorn instead of butter...just sayin'.

Come to think of it, I have never dipped my Runza in DL. Hmm...I might have to give it a go this weekend. Speaking of Runza, our local guy in Papio does a fantastic job. Twice a year we order the mini Runzas for football parties and he will cook them up for us that morning. I like the minis over the regulars and that is saying something!

Craigar ; I feel sorry for those who have never had a Runza. I like dipping mine in good old yellow mustard. When they used to have those awesome Wimmer's Polish dogs on the menu the mustard flowed like water here. For all the years i've been using DL it never dawned on me until earlier this year when I read their recommendation to use if for barbecue sauce. Love it on chicken thighs.
