What's cookin' boys?

Thanks. Once you start making your own, store bacon doesn’t cut it anymore.

I'm feeling a bit ashamed at never having made bacon, considering all the smoking I've done over the decades. This was probably the nudge I needed!

Could be self-preservation, because once the wife has it, store-bought may no longer be an option...

We love pork belly and had some last night, 18hrs in sous vide then grilled.

Have not tried that method yet. Time to research. Home cured and smoked is the way to go. You know she is hooked when she swings by the butcher and grabs a couple bellies just in case.

We’re watching Syracuse University get demolished by Notre Dame at home in basketball.

The Mrs. made a hummus platter loaded with veggies. Really good.

Syracuse won!!

Probably was the prepared stuff we had for snacks…..chicken chunks and pizza rolls.

We don’t often do that kind of stuff but it tasted great today….

True. We are a 98% homemade household.

Sometimes that kind of stuff just tastes good.

Chicken parmigiana today. Pasta right from the old country. The Mrs. got it for me when she went to Italy last year.

As usual, I prepped enough chicken to feed the neighborhood (11 people). Some cutlets will likely be vacuum sealed and frozen raw.

I’m going to try cooking the chicken cutlets in the Air Fryer. Would typically shallow fry in olive oil

Don’t have a good way to spray olive oil on them but can likely figure something out…..maybe drizzle through and brush with a pastry brush?

 

[RCW]

These look pretty decent. 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip half way through.

Drizzled through a pastry brush and then brushed them very lightly.

We go up to Rubinos https://rubinos.net/ for Italian items. They have a great selection of pasta, meats, cheese, beautiful frozen calamari, and pastries. If you're ever up this way the Ridge road location is the original and best one.

Came together pretty good.

We had dug in before I got the picture.

There’s some spaghetti squash, chix parm, peas and pasta.

I'd say they look like they turned out pretty darn good. Still have decent crunch to em?


2 out 3 kids wanted reubens last night
1 wanted deviled eggs
wife wanted a potato
I just wanted cookies lol

These are 100g cookies. My oatmeal cookies recipe makes a touch over 60. They're usually around 30-35g's and can fit around 40 on one cooling rack. These are sho nuff some BIGGENS

Not bad. I used about 50% panko crumbs. That helped. I would do them the same way again.

I don’t care for rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, etc., but LOVE a good Reuben…..

I also have a weakness for deviled eggs…..

I’m really fond of cookies…..

All of that looks awesome!

Happy Friyay! Good Morning Y'all!
Make the best of it!

A while back @Siesta Sundance rightfully called me out for my supposed chicken fajitas. Fajitas are grilled.

We typically do whatever you want to call this on the stovetop in the winter.

30 years ago I gave the fajitas moniker because I didn’t think of anything better that fit……

The recipe has changed over time.

You guys have a better idea WTF to call it?

Chicken slices in the bowl with garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, coriander, red chili flakes and S&P.

Veggies are P&O, garlic, fresh cilantro.

Will be served on flour tortillas.

 

[RCW]

Veggies first. Want them crisp.

Set them aside in the pan lid.

Chicken next. Will need two sessions like this.

Done.

Delicious???

York chicken or Yank chicken. lol call it whatever. It looks great though. I'm kinda a fat guy, I didn't get skinny by just lookin at food.

Purple onion, garlic is not used here, white onions and green peppers. Where is the guacamole at? Just not how fajitas are made here, you especially wouldn't do that to a beef skirt. Marinated chicken breasts and beef skirts are grilled, then thinly sliced, served on/next to grilled onions, green peppers, and whole jalapeños

I found 2 chicken carcasses in the freezer from Sams rotisserie so in the pot let the meat cook off the bones ,and maybe a good pot of chicken soup later this afternoon
