You are amazing! I bought annatto seeds yesterday and now I don't know what to do with them! Rick Bayless always uses Achiote so I though Annatto Seeds would get me rolling, but I don't know how to use them. Do you leave the seeds in this dish, or should you strain them out of the oil after the oil turns red?

Oh yeah- We're having City Chicken tonight with roasted cauliflower.
If you don't know what city chicken is, here's a hint...
It ain't Chicken!

It says to strain the oil so I assume you throw the seeds out.
So what is it if it isn't chicken?
I've never heard of it! I love roasted or fried califlower, it completely changes the flavor and makes it sooo scrumptious!!

Ah I see that now. I thought the straining part was referring to a different part of the recipe. Thanks for pointing that out.It says to strain the oil so I assume you throw the seeds out.
So what is it if it isn't chicken?
City Chicken is common in the Pittsburgh region and refers to Pork Cubes on a Stick. The cubes are intended to look like chicken drumsticks and are fried to taste somewhat like fried chicken. A century ago, chicken was much more expensive than pork and this was a mock-chicken dish. Today we still eat it because it's delicious and a family tradition.
Roll pork cubes in flour seasoned with S&P and thyme. Skewer on short wooden sticks. Fry in 1/4 inch of olive oil until toasty brown on all sides. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock and move pan to the oven to finish cooking. Serve with the pan "gravy."
PS I was 23 before I found out City Chicken wasn't chicken...

hmmm that sounds good! I have some country style bnls pork ribs, you can cut those up and use them right? or does it need to be a leaner cut? Also I just bought a thyme plant yesterday at a farmers market, so that just might be my first recipe to use some of it for!
I took a peek at your websight, that cheese cake looks to die for!
Do you have the city chicken recipe on there also?

I don't see why that wouldn't work with the spareribs, but I wouldn't want to waste those!! I don't have the recipe posted, but I plan to add it after I make the dish tonight. I'll get it up and let you know so you can make City Chicken tomorrow!

Dinner tonight? hmmmmmm I made pesto yesterday.
I'm thinking pasta with pesto, tossed green salad with fresh heirloom Jersey tomatoes.... that sounds good, and won't heat up the kitchen too much.
For dessert, we have home made ice cream (French Vanilla) and fresh red raspberries. I love summer food! Actually, I really love seasonal food.

We have some leftover grilled chicken, so I'm going to make pesto fettuccine with chicken, chopped tomatoes and chopped Fresno chiles from the garden; I might have some more spring peas still in the freezer I could add. And I'm going to pick up some fresh mozzarella on the way home to make caprese salads.

mmmm sounds good, I use to order this fettuccini with grilled chicken and pesto next door to my old job, the pesto sauce was a creamy one and they added some bell peppers and other mixed veggies.....so tasty but it felt so bad for you...I guess because of the cream added!
Finally going to get that flank steak cooked; however, instead of stuffing it DH will do it on the grill. Not sure of the sides yet though I am thinking of a spinach and mandarin salad. I am also hoping that the others can come up with things as I am not really in the creative mood.
