Hi Dave,
RH> For some unknown reason, I wasn't able to get mail last week so today
RH> is the first day I've seen something since probably last Monday.
DD> I wondered if you wee off to visit again or something. I hate it when
DD> I can get my daily feed of Phydeaux as it's my *only* form of social
DD> media other than in-person stuff.
I don't like not having fido either, especially cooking as it's the echo
with the most traffic. I only get 3 echoes--45 points (required by the
one we point off of) and private netmail which most often gets a listing
of my echoes about every 3 weeks.
DD> 4 md Potatoes
DD> 4 sl Bacon; diced
DD> 3 lg Eggs
DD> 3 tb Milk
DD> 1/2 ts Salt
DD> 1 c Ham; in small cubes
DD> 2 md Tomatoes; Peeled
DD> 1 tb Chives; Chopped
RH> We do this with chicken, no ham, tomato or bacon. Just chicken, potato,
RH> egg and sometimes an onion. It's good, no matter how it's made. (G) I
RH> made chicken piccota last week, turned out really good (yes, I used
RH> capers) so will do it again. One change I made was to use chicken
RH> breast cutlets instead of cutting or pounding a breast piece; it saved
RH> a step and no mess to clean up before going on to the next step. I will
RH> definatly make it again; we both enjoyed it.
DD> Bacon is my favourite vegetable. As you may have suspected. Ham is ok,
DD> but just barely. Pork chops, no we're talking. Most of my chicken is
We use a lot of chicken, some beef and even less pork other than bacon.
Steve still likes his turkey bacon but lets me get the real thing both
for personal consumption and cooking. He has gotten over his "phobia" so
now I can use real bacon in anything from German potato salad to
broccoli salad to a small handful in a can of New England clam chowder
and points in between. I'll do pork chope from time to time, best done
on a grill outside or inside on a George Foreman grill.
DD> done with dark meat. I bought 3 ten pound bags of leg quarters last
We use a lot of white meat unless we've bought a whole chicken. Then he
will take the dark, I'll take the white.
DD> The legs I didn't cook right away are sucky-bagged and frozen. The
We got some breasts down at Costco the other day; they were all
individually bagged (not vaccuum) in freezer weight bags so when we got
home, I just put the whole thing into the freezer. I'll be able to tear
off one or two bags as I need them.
DD> Not much money in that batch of chciken but a lot of "sweat equity".
DD> And I've got chicken enough to last until the next great deal. Bv)=
That's the way I like to do it. Steve smoked a brisket a couple of weeks
ago so now we've got about 5 vaccuum bags in the freezer, each with
enough beef for a couple of meals.
... Gone crazy, be back later. leave a message at the Beep!
