What did I cook this weekend.....

[505-Brewer]

That's a great homemade food, I make that every couple of months or so. To take the pain-in-the-butt aspect away, check into sous-vide cooking. You've probably got a method of holding a water bath at 150F already. I sous-vide the breasts for 1 hour and the dark meat for 2.5 hours (I think it was about 150F, but don't have the recipe with me), then cool them down and do the buttermilk soak and then the spice and flour. You only have to fry them to cook the coating and you are always sure that no matter what you do, the chicken is already cooked - and very moist.

Great approach. Man Im hungry now.

LOL Merry!! Whatever works in times like these!

Sous vide is just an awesome idea for fried chicken! No idea why that has never occurred to me before!! Wow, thanks for that!

Doing red beans tonight with Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo beans. These are the prettiest red beans I have ever seen and they are delicious just boiled, which I had to do for prep since I did not soak. Not my standard Cajun recipe either, but one off of Rancho Gordo’s site. You gotta admit these are pretty though! Lol. Second picture is after Sauté, etc. right before I added liquid for the final 2 hour simmer.

Bacon wrapped Spinach and Bleu cheese stuffed chicken breast from last week.

Well since we couldn’t go out, I served our leftover corned beef and made this soda bread. Raisins and just a little bit of caraway seed.

But seriously, everytime I see Waygu I am just blown away!

Wow. That literally made my mouth water. Nicely done!

What are those things...they don't look like burgers.

 

[BikerMatt]

Sausage "burgers". Basically the same stuff your regular BBQ sossidge is made of just sliced off a big one to make burger patties. Guess it's a bit of a local speciality...

Interesting concept. What do you put on it?

You know, basic burger stuff, ketchup mustard fried egg cheese some pickle salad, toast on top and bottom.

You've never seen bulk Italian sausage in stores? No casing, just form into patties and grill them. Serve on a toasted bun. Top with sauteed green peppers and onions. Delicious.

I cooked this last night, but with cheddar and Monterrey jack instead of mozzarella. It was excellent. Long before the pandemic I had stocked up on unseasoned pork tenderloins, one of my favorite meats.

Suppose it's nothing something I really look for unless you mean the stuff wrapped in a plastic tube of paper?

No, that that stuff. It's packaged just like fresh ground hamburger in grocery stores. I see it around here in the meat section next to the sausage links, but not always. It's kind of hit or miss. I sometimes will brown it, breaking it up while it cooks, and use it in homemade lasagna.

When we lived in NY a local meat/deli shop made their own Italian sausage, and always had it in bulk in addition to links. It was sooo good. Can't find anything close to it out here.

I tried making my own white bread for the first time last night. I’m not sure if it looks right but it tastes pretty good!

We use the bulk stuff to mix with ground beef for a very tasty lasagna. Out here in the desert the only brand we have is Johnsonville. Probably not as good as what you can get in an area with a high Italian American population but it works.

Chicken, pasta, and veggies

That is a good start, it rose and tasty good. Brushing the tops with melted butter, or milk, or beaten egg will give the crust more color if that’s important to you.

Brunch today. Caramel bananas with a dash of pie spice over French toast, and breakfast links.

No chicken at the stores? Problem solved (gobble gobble)

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I went to the butcher shop in town, yesterday which like to do when I want good ground chuck for hamburgers. Of course, he is much more expensive than the supermarket, but he had everything he normally has, and I spent $80, which I normally don’t.

I have an excellent butcher I normally only go to for his charcuterie. I'm about out of bacon, so I'll probably end up paying attention to everything else there this week. I also go to an organic market for just a couple of specific items, and I noticed they were pretty well stocked on most things. I guess I could start paying more for food to eat at home and still save money since I'm not eating out.

OT No pic, but I made a favorite vegetarian meal, orecchiette with chick peas and broccoli. Olive oil, garlic, chilli flakes, nutmeg, s & p, finished with pecorino. I usually like to have some halved grape tomatoes or roasted red peppers in it if only for color, but didn't have any on hand.

 

[TwistedGray]

Chicken quesadilla with melted cheese on the outside, too. I like the cheese crunch.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Home fried potatoes and cheese burgers with Irish cheddar.
