Yesterday we had cheeseburgers on everything brioche buns, potato salad and corn on the cob. I thought I snapped a picture but apparently not. Rotisserie chicken is on deck for dinner tonight.
 
Did tomato and basil soup again with toasted cheese sandwiches. Used Campari tomatoes from Costco which are delicious right now, by the way, and San Marzano for the canned portion.

The tried something new for dinner Saturday. Fettuccine Alfredo from scratch with a Caprese Salad. Fresh fettuccine is just awesome, and it's so simple to make I don't know why I ever buy it. Salad is a mix of Campari and little Wild Wonder tomato mixture, both also from Costco.

Huevos con chorizo

Brown 1lb fresh chorizo and remove all but about 2 tbs of the fat. Add the onion and collards. Cook until softened.

When its almost fully cooked top with just a little Mexi cheese. Cover and turn off the heat until the cheese is melted. The eggs will continue cooking but wont burn.

NY State Fair sauce?
Ewww, no. Lupo's spiedie marinade is the one and only for me, although I do make my own occasionally.
https://www.spiedies.com/They've been in business for around 70 years. I like their marinade the best, I grew up on that and their store made Italian sausage....also my favorite. We used to live a block away from their original market. I have memories of walking there with my grandmother. Ahh the good old days.

Gonna have to check them out. I love the Chiavettas marinade, too, and I can at least get that on Amazon.

I've not had that, I may have to check it out.

We order the Lupos marinade online and also the Anchor Bar wing sauce so we always have some of each stashed away.

If you're interested I can pm you a Lupo's clone recipe that's fairly close to the original. I make that when I've forgotten to reorder in time. LOL.

Fire away, at your leisure.
 
Shallow-fried chicken, naked - I brine it first for 24 hours, then rinse, cut it up, pat dry and put the pieces on a rack and back in the fridge to dry out the skin for at least several hours. Then fried in about 2" of avocado oil in KOTC's Mom's 12" cast iron chicken frying skillet. Comes out crispy-skinned and moist inside! Here is what was left after the two of us ate our fill for dinner.

Add baking powder (about 1/4th of salt amount) and your skin will get even crispier!
You can add it during the brine stage or dust it on during the drying stage.
