sounds awesome!

i'm gonna roast some chickens today

i haven't bought any meat since december and i have a reezer full of red meats but the nose wanted bird. so i bought 2.

i found this recipe:

VIKING CHICKEN

"low brow and hard to mess up."

my kind of food!

i got some old apples to get rid of which works perfect.

[schizophrenicroom]

oh, that chicken looks good.

evolghost- yum. i like sweet potatoes with maple syrup and cayenne pepper on top.

yes it does. i have eggplants, sweet potatoes and some mixed vegetables for it.

but because i have 2 chickens i'm using one to make this first:

http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/c...B2AVDQhqZ9f.97

like milk steak! boiled HARD! with jelly beans! but for serious, i had some milk leftover so this works. also i didn't have lemons (only key limes) and i used zest from oranges instead. and i didn't have sage (not even dry) so i'm using thyme. thyme w/ orange *should* work out. fingers crossed.

now it's in the oven i have 90 minutes to destroy.

milk steak!best served with a bag of spaghetti. thyme with orange sounds fine.

I made cacio e pepe for lunch. then ate more pecorino by itself. do let me know how the chicken comes out.

boiled over hard!

DQ Nachos is what my daughter wanted for a snack between school and dance......and they were soooo good! (ours also had lettuce and tomatoes)

you ever made cacio e pepe w/ ramen? look up david chang's version (i think it was him).

eta: if you're ever out of parmesan/pecorino, try the hippie version of it-- nutritional yeast. good stuff, cheap, rich in glutamates.

--

the chicken came out pretty good but a bit too sweet tasting for me

i think i put too much cinnamon

the way i'd redo this would be by adding some curry powder instead (kinda like a chicken tikka)

also the suggested serving ("with greens or spinach") seems insufficient. i'd add a mound of rice or something. which i'll do for the reheats (maybe i'll add teh curry powder then & see).

the viking chicken is out of the oven but i won't eat till later. looks plenty crispy. i didn't have butter so i used bacon fat instad.

i need to get me a camera that doesn't show all my private info like the exif data on iphone photos.

[!@#$%!]

plus:

the so-called viking chicken came out tastier-- crispy & savory

the only problem was the bottom part that sits on the vegetable had soggy skin-- so next time i'll spatchcock the fucker-- skin up, cavity down.

the corn at the bottom (i had these frozen mixed veggies to dispatch-- corn/carrot/peas/green beans) roasted really dark & nice. the eggplant added a bit of heat. sweet from the apples & sweet potatos. the onions roasted darked too. the orange i tied up inside the bird was really tasty. the bacon fat probably worked better than the butter would have.

after deboning the bird & peeling the vegs i mixed it all up & ended with 1 gallon of tasty garbage-- i mean it looks like a mess but it's gooood. sort of like a dryish stew, kinda like when you cook meat underground (not sure you've ever done that). meaning it's all nicely cooked soft & moist but not boiled.

it all tastes like sweet victory. i think i'm set for the whole week.

ohh, bacon fat. you had me there. and egg plant. i can't reply coherently to either of your posts because i'm salivating too much.

bytor- i love their chicken tenders. i'm a big kid.

i forgot to say i went to TJs the other day and took a look at their various salads (garbanzo etc). we photographed the labels so i can rip off the recipes. i got the idea from your meal the other day. anyway i'll keep you posted on that.

[schizophrenicroom]

i'm hoping my replacement ebt card came in today so i'm gonna make a trip to tjs. i want their perogies.

oy, no! that's how the money bleeds fast.

the way to stretch a buck is to make those things.

"ready in 2 hours"

then you have a bunch of leftover ingredients for the next day

if you don't have a rolling pin just use a bottle

[schizophrenicroom]

oh shit, and i can make that in my kitchen. i think i'll do that this weekend.

hell yes. you can make a nice afternoon of it by inviting a friend to bring over drinks, and cooking while you hang out.

what you wanna buy is not prepared foods (a ripoff that will keep you poor), but basic staples-- and the seasonings to work them. when buying produce, try to buy frozen only-- they are a way better deal because they don't go bad and the supply chain doesn't need to compensate for spoilage. and yes, chopped kale comes frozen (for your garbanzo salad).

[schizophrenicroom]

I had quinoa with sun dried tomatoes, more kale, green beans, tomatoes, and chili sauce. all fresh. my card came so whoot. before that at a Thai place I had a peanut curry with tofu. so good.

yeah, this weekend is perogie time when it isn't pouring and I can go walk and stock up.

[!@#$%!]

i was browsing pierogi recipes (too much work for my ADD but i'm curious) and looks like you can make a bunch of dough at a time and freeze for later use. which reminds me i have a pizza doughball in the freezer (for the weekend i guess--just take it out a day before)

also, the weird milk chicken tasted way better with curry powder. suck on that, jaime oliver!

aaaand here's how you start a pantry:

 

ha ha ha. my favorite! (just aged cayenne, vinegar and salt. no weird colors, no garlic, no nothing).

i was looking at bodbuilder diets and found this video. it's insane. enough food to feed a beast for $50/week:

i can't eat like that, but wow.

[schizophrenicroom]

I struggle to eat enough, as hungry as I am. thinking about bodybuilders and like, nfl players freaks me out.

that hot sauce looks fantastic. I like garlic in my hot sauce most times, though... garlic nut in me.

I'm currently eating an egg/tofu/cheese/pepper burrito my friend made. with sriracha. last night we drove to Georgia and found a too wing place/bar still open and they were delicious.

[EVOLghost]

had my first paczki yesterday.
