Don't fly the coop, but if you are looking for a few chicken recipes give these a try.


I was asked by Sara, for some good chicken recipes. It turns out during the pandemic we may have been ready to build a coop as there are a number of recipes we have tried and I thought I would share with you all.


We try for healthy recipes, but not all of these are.  We have been enjoying chicken thighs a great deal, but I know breasts are leaner and healthier.  For those that are curious, not all of them are from the Barefoot Contessa, and some of the healthier ones are actually Weight Watchers.


My go-to chicken recipes:


Let’s start with my go-to recipe for chicken breasts. This is from the Barefoot Contessa.  I found it as part of her chicken salad recipe.  The key here is these are bone-in and skin-on breasts.  I have never made the chicken salad, but consider it as a bonus.  https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chicken-salad-contessa-recipe-1938131


Next is a roasted chicken and this one also comes from Ina Garten aka the Barefoot Contessa.  Really is quite easy.  For a kosher alternative, you could try olive oil instead of butter. https://barefootcontessa.com/recipes/perfect-roast-chicken.

Frank’s go-to chicken thigh recipe is always a hit and is from the NY Times.  https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018197-flattened-chicken-thighs-with-roasted-lemon-slices 

Here is a blog of my chicken soup recipe https://absilver.blogspot.com/search?q=chicken+soup  and a link to a video https://photos.app.goo.gl/CFaWbTwQAJKqpQ1f6 of a recent effort.


Finally, for me in a pinch, with boneless chicken breasts.  I pound them somewhat flat and season with salt and pepper. I put some olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and any other seasonings I might have for the day in a Ziploc bag.  I put the chicken in the bag, make sure they are all coated, and let them marinate for an hour and longer in the fridge.  I put them in an oven-ready pan or sheet and bake at 375 until done. I would start checking around 15 minutes.

Apparently I am my car...

Apparently I am my car... For those of you that didn't know, I actually got a new car in July.  Oddly, I think in 3 months I have driven it a little over 650 miles, but that is primarily because of travel and Provincetown.   I owned a 2010 Mercury Milan, and liked it.  Was about to come off of warranty so traded for a 2012 Ford Fusion.  Realizing that they had a new model coming out so I could negotiate a fair deal. What does this have to do with me? some people end up looking like their pets apparently I end up acting like my car.  I have owned Buicks, Nissans, Volvos, and even and SUV.  Frankly, I don't think most of them would have made it on the cover of MotorTrend, but I liked most of them...  So here I am in a 2012 mid-size sedan.  It is very similar to the Milan, of course, but a little bit upgraded.  V6 engine, leather seats, and the queerest (I must say) ambient lighting I have seen.  ...

Saturday Reflections: Musings on Life, Television, and Elections

Image
A few random thoughts on a Saturday morning? I appreciate The Bear TV Show and understand the awards, but I don’t like watching it and don’t see any contradiction. In college, I knew how to get an A, and I assume I knew how to get an F, but I didn’t know how to differentiate effort to get a B or C.  This has continued in my work life; I am either all in, or I feel like I am failing. This election year is more stressful than at any point in my lifetime. I don’t understand why the Democrats can’t get behind their candidates as much as the Republicans. I don’t color my hair.  I appreciate being bald, as I don't spend time worrying about my hair. We have had a relatively cool July in Longview; I assume Mother Nature’s payback in August will not be pleasant. People assume I am an introvert.  Not necessarily. I just enjoy my own company.  This is one reason I need my early morning walks alone.  As I age, I realize that change is good; it is desired for me, but trying ...

I can’t sit here this morning, quietly, after all!

Image
It isn't a time to sit here quietly. We in the USA are challenged by a presidential race between two men, one 78 and the other 81.  One who has served his country and been part of the political scene since 1972.   During many of those years, he was a senator. He became Obama’s vice president for two terms. He is campaigning and fighting to be reelected president of the world's most powerful country, militarily and economically. Thursday night, he had a bad night in a debate. His opponent looked good but lied about his accomplishments and Biden. As Biden said, it is hard to debate a Liar. But, yes, maybe he is 81 and had a bad night. That doesn’t negate his presidency's accomplishments in helping us recover from the pandemic. He passed bills that will lead to infrastructure improvements that are sorely needed in this country. He has led the effort to cap insulin costs so people don’t have to choose between insulin and food.   He also has a good cabinet of leaders and ...
