OT: Whatcha Eatin' - Second Course

[A Star is Burns]

Wings are the easiest thing in the world to make and people don't know it. It takes like half an hour. People are grilling them and such....nah. Brush them with olive oil, throw them in the oven on 500 or 550. The higher the better. when the skins crisp up turn them over. Turn em again in about 5 minutes, sauce them, broil them until the sauce carmelizes, and you're done. I can start with nothing and have food ready to eat in an hour, including a run to the grocery store.

Best wing place I've ever known is Parkside Grill in Moline Illinois. They're famous for their *grilled* wings. I asked one of the cooks one time how they do it and she admitted they do them in the oven. They just throw them on the grill at the end because people want to see grill marks.

I don't like buffalo sauce though. I usually do mine Jamaican or Daytona style. Still spicy, but with a sweetness too.

I went ahead and gave this method a shot tonight. Not bad at all. Made some with Smoky BBQ sauce, some with Buffalo, and some with Hot Honey. I'll be making another batch in a couple nights.

I braised some cornish hens with sweet potatoes, mushrooms, barley, lentils, and red wine. Turned out well.

I'm always looking for a good sauce. Sometimes I go with the Walmart store brand Caribbean jerk sauce, which is really, really close to BWW's. I've made my own jerk sauce from scratch before, but it's one of those things where the extra work isn't really worth it.

What I've been doing lately is a mix of Sweet Baby Ray's original and a little bit of King's Hawaiian Lava hot sauce. Stubb's spicy is good too, if I want to go hot but not hot sauce hot.

We do the same thing, except with peanut butter and garlic, and we don't rebroil. Thai wings for the win, yo.

verdict: nailed the filling, big time. crust was buttery and flakey, but a bit inconsistent. probably overworked the dough or let the butter warm up.

the next one will probably be quite a bit better.

Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream.

It is good

So, my brother the chef keeps sending these pictures to me. We're having a family get-together this weekend, so these things damned well better be in his carry-on luggage.

Otherwise, I guess it's Funyuns again.

Had a bojangles Cajun filet biscuit on my way back to my hotel this evening.

It’s a good thing I don’t live here because I’d be so fat. My god was that ever delicious.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I totally ate another Cajun filet biscuit on my way back from the office again today.

I might need to fill my suitcase with them before leaving tomorrow.

I had 9 cups of Tims while in Buffalo with the RUTR promotion and didn't win a goddamned thing.

I never win anything either. A good buddy of mine seems to win on every cup.

Ice cream is my new thing. I’ve made two batches in the last week as well as done countless hours of research on custard and cream while I should’ve been working.

For our wedding we got a Nostalgia ice cream maker. It’s excellent because it’s electric and massive (makes up to a gallon), and because it’s old fashioned (ice and salt on the outside of the spinning canister) it gets cold faster than almost any other commercial machine, which is a recipe for super creamy ice cream.

It’s not excellent because every time I want to make ice cream I have to go get a bag of ice and a thing of salt.

If this becomes more than a kick and I start doing a lot more batches, I will upgrade to a fancy self-refrigerated machine even if it’s a slight downtick in ice cream quality.
