    Brunswick Stew

    Yes the veggies are quite soft but akin to crock pot recipes you get a great marrying of flavors by cooking for so long. I think this is similar to a Kentucky Burgoo. Its a very traditional southern recipe, it was very popular in NC where I grew up. This is just my take.

    Brining and smoking a turkey

    Hope you don't mind if I go slightly off topic. I love smoked turkey though I have never cooked one (but do have a smoker). I would highly recommend deep frying your turkey. I have been injecting and deep frying our Thanksgiving turkey for about 9 years. Only the skin gets slighlty greasy...

    Which is better to fry with: shortening or veggie oil?

    You could use any of the three. Canola has a mild taste and I think it has the least trans fat. Shortening would probably yield the best taste (Krispy Kreme uses a partially hydrogenated shortening). Peanut would be fine and has the highest flash point of the three but is also the most expensive.

    Making sweet potato fries

    Good point by June. I have baked these also. They are more 'fluffy' and less crispy but healthier, still very tasty though. I've been meaning to get a misto, as I had to brush my oil on.

    Please give me dinner suggestions..

    I would probably try a stir fry. Cut you steak into strips and fry with a little oil. Five minutes before it is done toss in (sliced up) onion and bell peppers plus broccoli. Sprinkle on some garlic (soy sauce or chicken broth if you have it). If you had some tortillas you could make some...
