Day 39

What's on the menu:

Beef tips with mushroom, onion gravy
Creamed potatoes
Corn fritters

Beef tips

There's a grocery store here that cuts their beef in little tiny pieces which I love. I put the beef tips in my small pressure cooker, add mushrooms, salt and pepper, half of an onion (chopped) and water to cover beef and a little higher. Cook 20 minutes after pressure gets up on medium heat.

Take top off and add thickening for gravy. I put about 2 TB flour in a small jar with enough half and half to coat, maybe a little more. Put top on jar and shake until all is incorporated. Pour into beef tip mixture and simmer for about 5 minutes more.

Creamed potatoes

Cook peeled potatoes in salted water until done. Drain. Add 3/4 stick of butter at room temperature, pepper and cream with beater.

Corn fritters

1 cup self rising flour
1/tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 -1/2 cups fresh corn cut from cob (about 3 ears)
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp vegetable oil

Hot vegetable oil

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mix well and set aside. Combine eggs, corn, milk, and 2 tsp vegetable oil. Stir corn mixture into dry ingredients.

Drop mixture by rounded tablespoons into vegetable oil heated to 375 degrees; cook fritters until golden, turning once.
