We had takeout tacos. How was the chicken?

Last night made veal short ribs braised in veal stock, Marsala and mushrooms last night served over risotto. Sauce was great. Meat was skimpy and fatty. Too much connective tissue. I prefer boneless chuck sort ribs.

@Mik said in The Cookbook:

How was the chicken?

1. Stupid easy to make.
2. Juicy and flavorful
3. Could have cooked a bit longer to get a nice brown crust.

Mrs. George approves, and that's the most important thing.

Rachel Ray’s Chicken Cacciatore with Porcinis. Saw her make this one morning while surfing and it looked really good.

Not exactly Super Bowl grub but I don’t much care about the game.

Best I’ve made, and I’ve been making it for 35 years.

Good ingredients and great technique makes a great recipe. A million ingredients just makes a mess.

Ayep. Get the right stuff, and know what you're doing. Fancy doesn't have to factor in.

That looks freaking amazing.

I think it will be better tomorrow, served over polenta.

Grilled Cheese...

I've been making it in the air fryer lately, and I'm liking the results.

White bread, slathered with butter (or mayonnaise)
American cheese - usually 1 slice, but 2 might be better because cheese.
Shredded mozzarella
Roma tomato slices
Basil

Any suggestions?

@Mik said in The Cookbook:

Considered that, but it's a lot of time to make.

OTOH, if I just nuke it, it might be acceptable on a sammich.

[Mik]

Just buy the precooked strips.

Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

Hey! I sent you this recipe a few months ago! Read ya mail!!!

Not for nuttin, next time skip all that seasoning stuff and sprinkle dried oregano on top. Faster and IMO will taste better.

[Mik]

It’s pretty good. Very moist. I think maybe more Parmesan next time and maybe some Italian seasoning.

Excellent mayo-based Caesar dressing. For quite a while I've been trying to replicate Bravo! Caesar dressing. This is exceptionally close.

I did replace half the mayo with EV olive oil.

Corned beef and cabbage. Why wait for St Patrick’s Day?

Never made it before, but we will have leftovers so I bought supplies for Reuben sandwiches.
