    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.

        Made this last night, subbed in sherry for half the water like the notes said. Delicious.

                Your recipe looks like honey garlic chicken?

                  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 of domestic 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.

                          On the menu for tonight: Garlic Braised Chicken

                          If you have NYT access:
                          https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022705-garlic-braised-chicken?campaign_id=58&emc=edit_ck_20250203&instance_id=146322&nl=cooking&regi_id=49184069&segment_id=190010&user_id=2127aee77c7a5b6be2d2c611f646d27e

                          Garlic-Braised
                          Chicken
                          By Eric Kim

                          Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
                          Rating (1,850)
                          INGREDIENTS
                          Yield: 2 to 4 servings

                          Olive 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 serving

                          PREPARATION

                          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 it

                          Taste for seasoning, adding more salt if needed. Serve with
                          rice.

                                Good recipe. Very tasty and easy. I recommend seasoning the chicken before flouring. I also added parmesan to the bread crumbs.

                                    That looks divine. I do a similar 'huli-huli' chicken on the grill, but this looks convenient for off season.

                                      It’s not. Do not recommend. I had to add bbq sauce and a little more sesame oil.

                                        Well, I'm grilling burgers on the stove, if you want something even less inspiring.

                                        Serving with a caprese salad though.

                                          That’s what I did last night. We are descending into culinary hell.
