I gave that up after high school, wherein I figured out I could bypass the locating and consuming of pot and skip directly to the munchies and napping, which were always my favorite parts anyway.<BR/><BR/>College was a time for whole different classes of drugs. And now, as a grown up, I've gone back to my childhood roots and just mainline sugar at every possible opportunity. I've been found at many a party shaking in a bathroom somewhere holding a Zippo underneath a spoonful of sugar muttering "Caramelize, bitch. Fucking caramelize."The Spiteful Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309097272920178065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21937028.post-76374464767730760582008-10-16T15:37:00.000-04:002008-10-16T15:37:00.000-04:00I didn't hull them- just got 'em super-crispy in t...I didn't hull them- just got 'em super-crispy in the fat.<BR/><BR/>Potted meats are super-easy, keep a long time, and allow you to say (and write) "potted meat" on a regular basis.

I'd make my own, but I hate the choky hulls and the trouble of removing them. :\<BR/><BR/>This is the season where I teach myself to make terrines and rillettes.
