I had dinner out for a work function. We went to a locally owned place. Think Applebee's/Ruby Tuesday, but better quality and decent BBQ if you are not judging by KC standards. I have eaten there at least 150 times but probably closer to 250. I'm kind of to the point where even though this is a very good restaurant, one of the benefits of retiring will be that I don't have to eat here anymore.

They had fried okra as one of the specials tonight. Religious experience. Delicate texture. Not the least bit greasy. Wonderfully seasoned. By far the best fried okra I have ever eaten. That place that I had been to so many times still had a trick up its sleeve.

Tyson chicken wings, green beans and broccoli with cheese sauce.

I'm all over that.

Hell just give me the broccoli and cheese and green beans and I would make it lol
[Reply]

The chicken wings were surprisingly very good. I will buy those again.
[Reply]

I've had them. And agree.

But I love green beans.


And I love broccoli and cheese almost as much as I fucking hate peas.
[Reply]

We have been killing the broccoli and cheese the last several months, it goes well with just about everything.


I buy the Aldi steam bag
Cook for the 4 to 5 min.
Dump in bowl
Add small chucks of velveta and cover with lid so it melts
Drain moisture, mix and add shredded cheese, cover again until melted
Mix again and serve


Good stuff!

Okay, dough is in the fridge. With the ice water, the dough was very cool even after processing. I can see why it takes 3 days for the yeast to work.

tonight i am gonna use the leaked kentucky recipe.

oddly enough, it is really close to a lot of spices i have used.

now i just need to get the extra krispy recipe. :-)

so, homemade kentucky fried chicken/steaks, mashed tators, and corn
[Reply]

1. They say the white pepper is the key.
2. Ain't gonna make no difference without a pressure fryer.
[Reply]

honestly, i love kentucky's flavour, i hate the texture.

if my previous fried chicken is any indication, all i need is the seasoning :-)

and i have plenty of white pepper :-)

Horrible coloring, but hey. At least I'm posting something. Take it and like it.

Blackened Tilapia. Grilled Brussels sprouts with bacon and garlic, pan finished with balsamic.

Looks pretty tasty.
