Two “Janet loved this” in a row. Wow.
Looks complicated but it’s not. I used top sirloin dry brined with Omaha Steak seasoning for 7 hours.

Making Anthony Bourdain's Basque Chicken tonight. Tomorrow I will try to recreate Paladar 511 (NOLA)'s Tuna Crudo. I get to have culinary fun when Janet's out of town.

It was great last night. Might be better the second day, haven’t decided yet, but it was damn good both nights. I highly recommend.

Lamb chili and cornbread tonight. Didn't have any ground beef and the ground lamb needed to be eaten up. Meat, onions, Bush's Chili Magic, canned tomatoes and a can of green chilis.
Doctored up cornbread mix with sour cream, an egg, corn and some honey. In the cast iron skillet. Easy, homey dinner.

@Mik said in The Cookbook:

Yup. That's what it basically is.
Mrs. George said, "It's good" rather than "It's OK", so it's on the "make again" list.
ETA: But I've never seen it made in a skillet.

I see you get the same
lack ofdomestic support I do.One would think a bit more appreciation for doing all the cooking would be appropriate.

Speaking of recipes, if you want to keep them on your computer, I can't recommend "Paprika" enough. Great app to store recipes, download from web, etc. Well worth the $35 or so it costs.

Chicken
By Eric KimTotal Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Rating (1,850)
INGREDIENTS
Yield: 2 to 4 servingsOlive oil
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken
thighs (about 4)
Salt
20 peeled garlic cloves
¾ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup dry chardonnay
Steamed white rice, for servingPREPARATION
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees.Step 2
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high, add enough oil to lightly
coat the bottom. Season the chicken with salt on both sides, then
add to the pot skin side down. Cook until the skin turns golden
and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. If the skin browns too quickly, lower
the heat. Flip, and sear the other side briefly, about 1 minute.
Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.Step 3
Add the garlic to the schmaltzy oil over medium-high, and stir
until fragrant and very lightly golden at the edges, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the white pepper, then immediately add the wine and 1 cup
water. Scrape up any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pot
while bringing the liquid to a simmer. Nestle the chicken in the
pot skin side up, cover and cook in the oven until the chicken and
garlic are meltingly tender, and the wine has reduced, about 1
hour.In that time, chicken fat, wine and water
turn into a luscious sauce packed with garlicky redolence. The white pepper, musky and full of earthiness, is a key taste here, so don’t skip itTaste for seasoning, adding more salt if needed. Serve with
rice. -
