I was waiting all day for this!











I brought back Zippy's Fried Chicken Mix with me in 2018
from Honolulu and have been coveting it ever since.
I'm very sparing with it, and when I do make Zippy's Fried
Chicken, we go all out!



Now, back home in Hawaii when we go to a Zippy's Restaurants,
(which is either our 1st or 2nd stop)
this is how you order the Fried Chicken.
Either with or without their World Famous Chili ...

Here in the Middle of the Desert, it's with Coleslaw and Corn Bread.

We had his (sausage, ham, pepperoni, mushroom) and her's (sausage, prosciutto, spinach, mushroom, black olive) pizzas. I split a Stonefire thin crust between us.

I tried something new tonight, tartiflette, a French comfort food. It has a layer of boiled potatoes in slices. There are onions fried with cubes of pork belly, wine for deglazing, and that goes on top of the potatoes, then topped with cheese (Traditionally it's Reblechon de Savoie, a "soft washed-rind and smear-ripened" cheese. It is made from unpasteurized milk, so it's not available in North America. We used a Quebec made, copycat cheese.). The cheese is round and cut in half along the equator to make two rounds. By the time I had gotten the tartiflette in the oven, I was pretty pooped out, so it was a very simple salad to go with it - mizuna, thinly sliced Belgian endive, Boston lettuce, a few leaves of sorrel, and some thinly sliced onion, topped with homemade vinaigrette; I made a decent sized batch of vinaigrette last week.

Anyhoo, it was good and we will be doing this again, with tweaks.

I made a new dish last night - onions, garlic, potatoes, green beans and tomato purée I made from home-grown tomatoes, seasoned with oregano, Aleppo pepper and fresh parsley. It was really good. I also made pan-roasted chicken legs with homemade za'atar seasoning under the skin. Yum.
