I'm going to do some old-fashioned fried chicken and mashed potatoes tonight. I have it marinating in a buttermilk brine now, and while I'm at it, I've got the rest of the chicken carcass in a stock pot making some homemade chicken stock.
Fried chicken always sounds good, but damn it, it turns into an all-day project.
Tuna salad.
It was okay. It was my first go at frying chicken. .. . tougher than it looks.
But I got some good experience and know what I'll change next time. Primarily, a lot more seasoning. It was just under-seasoned and you can't fix that easily after the fact with fried chicken. Also, there's a learning curve to getting and keeping your oil at the right temperature. It'll be a lot better next time.
The stock is awesome, I can't wait to use it for some gumbo or some red beans & rice. It came out perfectly.

Burgers and tots tonight. Going to smoke some beef back ribs for the first time this weekend!
Beyond burger on a pretzel bun, onion rings, and sugar snap peas from my garden.

This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
I made the mistake of having ice cream after lunch today. I am lactose intolerant, and have felt like shit all afternoon.
Why did I do that?
Cabbage soup and pierogis.

Eggplant parm with gnocchi
I love gnocchi. Good stuff.

Had dinner at Bastien's on Colfax tonight. Any of you been there? Freakin' delicious! I think Pags would approve. I had the 10 oz New York Strip, Aesop style (topped with horseradish sauteed spinach and a fried egg), with French onion soup and a twice-baked potato, and a couple Kentucky mules (bourbon, ginger beer and lime). I say god damn! God damn.
