What did I cook this weekend.....

[Hoppy2bmerry]

If I lived in your house, I’d have to invest in a few new belts and new pants.

Portions… smaller portions no second helpings oh, and hardest, limiting the beer to about one a week (a little flexibility there.)

At one a week I'd be drinking mostly imported Belgian triples and not worrying about their cost!

Tried my hand at some homemade fried chicken sandwiches that are allergen friendly for my kids. They were excellent!

I do like some grass fed beef. But still prefer the rancher to finish them with a fattier diet prior to butcher a few weeks beforehand. Certain cuts of beef just do need some fat it's a fine line.

I hear you on that man. Yeah I usually just put in a butcher box order every now and then and have them send me a good stuff, or Snake River farms.

Food allergies truly suck. What are they allergic to?

Food allergies truly suck. What are they allergic to?

One is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, sesame seeds, eggs, and beef

The other one is allergic to dairy and sunflower.

We have gotten good at cooking and finding recipes they can have.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Beef and broccoli stir fry over rice.

Please keep it up. I live vicariously through this thread while I eat my Dino nuggets, mac and cheese and hot dogs.

Wait beef allergy... I was aware of an illness that come from wood ticks that causes sickness from eating red meat. I feel sorry for the kids. That is tough.

I trust the kids will grow up to enjoy more interesting food choices.

As I approached my 60s I suddenly developed food allergies, but strange ones. First it was almonds, then peaches, then hazelnuts and finally avocados. Nothing that need recipes to be reworked, but I have to avoid desserts at family dinners and potlucks because almond flour is in a lot of popular desserts. The avocado allergy hurts the most-I truly and dearly love guacamole, but it doesn't love me back.

Did you become allergic allergic or just intolerant?

Yep, had steaks one time and he loves them. Second time he had two bites and left it, then got hives up his back. Tested for it and he’s allergic to beef. Not all that uncommon for kids with dairy allergies.

It sucks the most for meal holidays. We always try to have them at our house so we can cook, but the family has so many “traditions” that we usually just end up opting out and do the big ones with just us. I don’t mind though, don’t have to drive and both my wife and I can cook some bomb ass food

Anaphylaxis allergic. Seriously stop breathing allergic.

Oooooooooo, the fun one.

My wife and I are skilled at asking wait staff about ingredients that may not be obvious. Also rarely eating out helps avoid problems. My real concern is what will I find out I'm allergic to next, ad how am I going to find out. I made a batch of guacamole for my son's family and just ate a tiny piece of avocado. The almond/peach problem developed over a 3 year period, avocado was instant.

Picked up 25 lbs of duck leg the other day at restaurant depot. Repackaging a third of it for home use

cross-slice the fat side, then fat side down until it's dark, then flip. First side (for the fatty ones I get) can be 20m. 2nd side, just a few minutes. Enjoy. I like duck

 

[passedpawn]

Consider duck confit. It's amazing. smelly when it comes out of storage (wife could not take the smell).

 

[passedpawn]

Finally, duck prosciutto is easy. Maybe try that on one of the breasts.

Thanks. I really should try confit. I've never done it, and I like to think of myself as a 'foodie' so there really is no excuse.

This is the easy method I've been using for the last few years for duck legs.

Love duck breast also but this purchase was legs only.

Test kitchen grilled chicken thighs. I do them over charcoal to add a little smoke flavor. I've made them on gas but they're not as good . One of my favorite things to make.

I love chicken thighs. We make them often. I'm going to try the spice paste used in the video. But the grill, no longer a fan. The last couple of years I've been making chicken thighs and legs in an air-fryer. Once you figure out the quirks of your particular unit... perfection. And in much less time than grilling. YMMV.

Here's the other chicken thigh recipe that I love to make if I don't feel like going outside

 

[Temptd2]

We just watched that ATK video the other day - anxious to try it!

Well last PC of venison so paired it with some walleye.
