    It's down home midwestern night at Chez Mik. Cornbread taco bake. Subbing buttermilk for milk, who knows what else.

      Winner. I used less water and added onions, Rotel and green chiles. You could do a lot of different things with it.

        It’s good to be home where I can cook in my own kitchen. Made this tonight, including the simple greens. It will go into frequent rotation. Easy and exactly the kind of stuff I like. Janet actually praised it. The most I usually get is “it’s ok”. 😆

          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.

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

                              @Mik said in The Cookbook:

                              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.

                                      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.
