Ring in the New Year with Alton Brown

While I'm on a mini sabbatical from work, sometimes not getting all of those Monday holidays off is a good thing, I have tried a few new and old applications from Alton Brown and looking forward to the new Good Eats on Thursday and Iron Chef America on Sunday.

First, the Christmas ham was AB's city ham again this year. I had a bit of a technical difficulty with it. While searching high and low in the Charleston metro area for a shank end ham I failed to notice the one I did procure was spiral cut. That made peeling the rind very hard. Though it turned out great anyway.

Last night I made the dried cherry scones from I'm Just Here for More Food, post to follow soon with a decent photo. This is from my iphone and has very bad lighting.

Remember!

New Good Eats on Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Egg Files VII. I have a ton of egg whites in the freezer so this may be good.

The second day of the new year, Iron Chef America features a battle with Iron Chef Mike Symon and Anne Burrell vs Iron Chef Cat Cora and Robert Irvine. A cross promotional thing and at 8 p.m. so head's up on the time change. Last year's Super Chef battle will air at 10 p.m.

On Monday, January 3, if you have the day off unlike me and for some odd reason your employer gave you Dec. 23 off rather than Jan. 3, there will be a Next Iron Chef marathon starting at 9:30 a.m.

And if you haven't registered to win the program signed by AB, do so now by heading over to my newest food site: Your Mise en Place or Mine. com

Gotta love Johnny Iuzzini doing the waiter's voice over in the opening scene. AB called in a pro!
