Chicken Fried Steak with White Pepper Gravy
My mother made cube steak sometimes when we were kids, but wasn’t one for sauces, so I wasn’t introduced to white pepper gravy until I began ordering it at diners. I liked nothing better than going to a greasy spoon diner after a night out with friends if we’d been imbibing, or as a recovery…

Sriracha Sweet Potato DIY Tater Tots
Okay, I know I already did a bunch of tater tots, but I had to do a chili head version. Seriously, you expected that I’d just leave it alone? I often use Sriracha (my homemade version, as I no longer can use the commercial version, sob, sob, although mine’s pretty close) instead of ketchup…
