    Freezing Chicken

    If you make a wet based breading, it will work better. Bread the whole breast and fry them 1/2 way. Allow too cool in the fridge. Cut into 1 inch pieces. You should be able to freeze them for a short time. Take the pieces out as needed. You should only have to fry them for a couple of...

    We have something we make here called Bouille. It is pretty simple. You make a fresh vanilla custard, then take an angel food cake, which can be store bought. cut or tear it into 1 inch square, and add it to the custard. This is also best served warm. It takes about 15 minutes to put...

    How well do you like your steak?

    Rare to Medium Rare. I just do not like it cold in the middle. The only thing is hamburgers. I do not care how good the meat it, it has to Medium Well to Well. This is strange because I taste the raw meat to check the seasoning. Something I learned from my grandmother. But, we raised our...

    Root Beer - Your favorite?

    Barq's from New Orleans. Zatarain's also makes a concentrate that you can make yourself. My grandmother us to make this for me all the time. I love the stuff. She would also add a little lemon to it. It really intensifies the taste.

    How to peel a potato...

    I buy Yukon Golds now, and the peeling is very thin, and quiet taste. I do not peel them any longer. Other than that, I get fresh red potatoes when they are in season, and they only require running a knife along the skin for it to come off.

    Dough - buy it or make it?

    There is a grocery store close to my house that makes great french bread. I will occasionally buy their bread dough.

    Infused Olive Oil

    I do this all the time. I previously added the seasoning directly to the oil, but it was a pain when it would get caught in the bar pouring stopper. Now, I put all the seasoning in one of those metal things that are used for tea. I heat up the oil for a while and when it cools, I put the oil...

    I'm Such a Fool

    I would look into the possibility of some recourse based on the assurance from the dealer, but you have other options without feeling guilty. You could probable sell it to a scrap yard for more than $900. I had a car that was totaled really bad, and I still got $1500 for it.

    My next project - Marinara Sauce

    I made all of my boy’s baby food myself. It was so funny when my son was about 6, he is 12 now, came running off the school bus to tell me something. I had no idea what it was. He was so excited. He told me, “Daddy, do you know that they have mashed potatoes in a box and spaghetti sauce in a...

    Name TV chefs / cooks from days gone by ...

    I was a fan of Julia Child’s until I saw an interview she did with one of the big TV News Anchors on one of their magazine programs. It was done in her kitchen at home, and she was preparing a meal for the man. She had to keep pushing her numerous cats off of the counter top to get to the food...

    My next project - Marinara Sauce

    Cook plenty of sauce while you are at it. It is easier to correct a mistake if you have a large amount. Like wine, it improves with age, and freezes great. As I said in previous post. If you have the sauce, and you keep browned ground meat in the freezer, you can have pasta with meat sauce...

    What's for dinner, Wednesday February 4th?

    I love biscuits and gravy, but I am the only one in my house that does. This was not one of the things that my mother ever cooked. Red Eye gravy either. I know it is a southern thing, but I was raised south west of New Orleans. It is little town called Cut Off, or as we call it Circumcision...

    You say potato, I say?

    Never boiled them in chicken stock, but I have used the leftover potatoes from a crab boil to make potatoe salad, and that was slammin.

    Turning 40 gag gift

    You could try "39 and Holding" or "1st Anniversary of 39th Birthday." As I remember, my mother had 17 of those anniversaries before she got a grip. Besides Depends and the Walker, you could get her some Beano, Geritol, a pair of cheap reading glasses from a Drug Store, and application for AARP...
