I picked up some boneless/skinless chicken breasts today. I wish I had room to get about 6 whole chickens and cut them up myself. This was a package of 6 and 4 of them were GIGANTIC and two were itty-bitty in size. That drives me nuts. The huge ones had lots of chunks of fat and most of the cartilage from cutting down the breast bone and other icky parts of unusable tissue. The little ones were cut in odd shapes ~ not sure why.
But, I froze 5 and moved on with my day.
I ended up cutting through one and pounded them a bit to even out the thickness. Ended up making some chicken parm with just a thin flour dusting instead of panko crust. Made some angel hair pasta and reheated the leftover green beans.

We had crab boil. It will be the last time I get crab legs when the aren't on sale. I think when we have it again, I will do the shrimp separately Killer Shrimp style.

the price of crab always catches me by surprise......I can remember (not all that long ago) when I saw ads for Kroger and they had snow crab clusters for $5.99/lb. It was never anywhere near me but it was enough to make me want to go on a road trip.

Searching through my little freezer, out popped a squid, and some raw shrimp. Now, a spicy jambalaya or a creamy something? Decisions, decisions!

This batch of tenders, had my gums hurting getting through the crusty coating. It was perfect for me. You know me, I don''t like soft and moist chicken. Nope!

There was a report one time of an 'upscale' restaurant that was suppose to have the BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH. Upon a bit of investigation it was found they sent an employee to get Popeye's Chicken Tenders and then put the Popeye's Tenders on a bun, added some sauce & pickles and then charged $16 for the sandwich.
It wasn't long before Popeye's offered their tenders as a sandwich (two tenders on a soft bun with sauce & pickles.....). And it's, like, $4.
But that's just internet rumor......

Yes, Rich from the cooking.com forum and also a 'smoker' (meats) forum. Has his own line of seasoning. You can find it online at: https://madhunkymeats.com/
More than one of our members recommends his 'All Purpose Rub'
I remember him more for the recipe he passed on to me for the best Cream of Mushroom Soup I've ever made.....MUSHROOM SOUP FROM THE GOLDEN MUSHROOM RESTAURANT
I think I posted the recipe here......if not, I can....
Yup ~ it's here: https://cookingfriends.forumotion.com/t1069-golden-mushroom-soup

I simmered some Johnsonville Brats in beer and then browned them on the gas grill. Had some buttered/parsley/chive noodles and Penzey seasoned green beans along side.

He sent me a package of a rub, I used it, but I guess life got in the way of thinking about him more. My son has gotten into smoking, I'll tell him about "Hunky".

Spicy jambalaya won out! Found a recipe that appealed to me, and it was done all in one pan. I didn't have any sausage, so it was just the seafood. It is really good, but I have to learn to cook for one, not an army! LOL
(edited by beth....)
"Tonight. A jambalaya recipe I found in an old lad cookbook. I had no sausage, so I just used shrimp and two small squid I had in the freezer. Cut those into rings, obviously! It was really good, all done in the pan that it’s in n the picture."

The ribs came out really good. 3 hours in the oven covered tightly at 275F; then one hour at 200F . The meat was tender, and pulled off the bones easily.
The way Tina likes them. To sweeten the ribs a little more, I added some ketchup from the squeeze bottle. Not a lot, just a trail of circles.

Looks like leftover ribs and taco's that Maria made the other day. Oh! A garden salad will accompany whatever we eat. Or pretend to eat, as we chew on our thumbs. LOL

The carne asada kept Joe up all night. I am glad he has finally made an appointment with the gastroenterologist.
I wonder if someone makes something - a tray or sleeve that goes under a gallon container of milk. There always seems to be a dried milk residue that I have to clean off where the the milk sits in the fridge. Heaven forbid that anyone else should clean up the mess.
If Joe eats tonight it will probably be just toast.

If it sits in the same spot all the time, how about just a couple of layers of paper towel? We get our milk in a large plastic bag which contains three smaller bags, each one liter of milk. It's also available in cartons, but for a family we generally get it in those bags. I had a plastic container in the fridge where the three small bags always went. That way, is there was a leak, it was contained. You can probably find a plastic container at the dollar store that your jug fits in. Of course it has to be shallow for people to put the jug in, or it's not gonna be put in, right?
I very rarely have milk in my fridge now, only get it when I am doing something specific.

Seems like Joe will be paying more than one visit to the gastro Dr.
Is it spicy food he cannot eat ??
I know someone else that lives here, but won't see the gastro Dr.
I had a peptic ulcer when I was 16, and the Dr. said, no grease, no coke or Pepsi. Once I fasted on those items, it healed and I was pain free.
Till the next few months later, when I didn't listen, and went back to eating the greasy foods.
