As an end of the year project the boys each had to make a dinner all by themselves. Nicholas's was tonight!
Back from roadside market, in my temporary Vagabond Kitchen, thinking about how to prepare these here fine ingredients :)
Junk food Sunday - airfried crinkle cut fries.
Mum had wanted to try airfried fries, so I ordered a pack in my latest grocery order (but they emailed to say it's out of stock, and I had the husband bought from the supermarket instead). No oil added, processed fries are already processed with oil.
Verdict: Bye bye McD, Hello, reduced oil and super crunchy home-airfried fries!

While moving and getting adjusted to our temporary space Leslie and I have been eating out alot. It was nice to sit down and have a meal at home and eat some of Leslie's fine cuisine.
I had a good physical exam today - clean bill of health (well, no new problems and I am off to medications); and tomorrow is my 52nd Birthday. So I made myself a special dinner (tomorrow i am going out to dinner with a couple of friends). I combined oil oil, rice, tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapenos, banana peppers, green beans, garlic, carrots, broccoli, shrimp, clams, cooking sherry, water, onions, mushrooms, and lots of Indians spices.
This particular recipe called for the addition of tomatoes and green beans. Hmmm.... it was ok but next time I'll cook it straight.
I stuffed this 2.5ish lb. of chicken with chopped cabbage, fennel seeds, basil, garlic, red onions, paprika, and salt and pepper. baked at 425F for first 15 minutes and reduced heat to 375F for remainder of the hour. the tip of the wings burned slightly but the meat was tender and juicy.

From Alton Brown's Very Basic Bread recipe.
Finished bread! The temperature should be between 205 to 210 F (pierce a meat thermometer into the bottom of the bread for the temp). Cool for 30 minutes before start slicing. Don't slice the bread on the pizza peel though (I learned this mistake the hard way) -- use an actual cutting board.
