Cumin beef. Tasty spicy Chinese dish. Highly recommend. Forgot to take photos.

Spaghetti with homemade sauce and Italian sausage. Along with a loaf of prepackaged Kroger take and bake garlic bread and some steamed asparagus. I have enough to feed me for the next three nights right here.

Haven't made it yet, but I'm making it tomorrow, fried chicken. I want to brine it tonight but I'm torn between what kind of brine to use, basic kosher salt and sugar or a new kind I've heard of that apple cider and salt.

Pickle juice.

Pickle juice.

Last time I did it I was trying to decide between buttermilk and pickle juice and went with both. It turned out okay.

Pickle juice.

I'm going to try that next time, sadly I didn't have enough pickle juice to brine. I've heard some really good things about it though.

Corned beef hash, British style. Also known as corned willy, I believe. Made with the finest (lol) canned corned beef, which comes with it's own little key:

The yummy contents of the can:

The final dish:

It was quite tasty, but the corned beef is so salty that next time I wouldn't even salt the potatoes during parboiling. New Yorkers will probably be disgusted and insulted by this version of corned beef hash, so that's another plus for it.

I got some ideas from here.

The brine I used was a mix of kosher salt, sugar, garlic cloves, and some of my own hot sauce. I was thinking that the hot sauce would make it spice, it didn't but it did give the meat a nice flavor. The breading was a mix of salt, pepper, and paprika. I was really good.

Very simple chicken thighs. Bone in, skin on. The method is taken from Ina Garten. Pan fry on a med-high heat for 15 minutes on the skin side to get it nice and crispy, turn it and turn the heat down a smidge and go for another 15 minutes. I would normally marinate, but I didn't have a chance so I just went for it. I cut a few slashes into each on the skin side. Made a rub of salt, pepper, adobo, cayenne, and garlic powder. It turned out fantastic. Crispy skin, flavored throughout. Very simple, but very good. I served with some broccoli with a bit of lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper and roasted potatoes.

I recently bought Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning after one of my neighbors had a seafood boil and really enjoyed it. I made Cajun shrimp pasta with a bit of Andouille sausage and a creamy base. I tried using my cast iron instead of grilling the shrimp and it turned out wonderful.

Did you deep fry or shallow fry?

Jerk chicken in a roasted red pepper/red onion cream sauce over cavatappi.

 

[verygayFrogs]

Update to the pie: tastes wonderful, somehow the inside was soup even though the crust was perfect. Might try using one can of peaches next time instead of 2

There are some tricks to preventing a soupy pie. Adding some corn starch or gelatin are such methods. You also want to make sure you got some holes in the crust so steam can escape.

Alright. I did have holes in the crust too so...
