Popcorn! Air popped, nothing on it.

Looks good. Do you know, I am from south Louisiana, have lived in Texas for over 50 yrs and I CAN NOT make fried chicken. Have tried it sooooo many times, have watched videos, have had people stand by me watching- and it still comes out wrong. Everyone says it is so easy, everyone says you can do it.... nope. I have finally given up and made peace with KFC.

I think the key to fried chicken is the frying unit, you need one that can maintain a certain temperature range set at 350, and then work with time. If the juice that leak out is red, you need to re fry it for a few more minutes and adjust the time on the next batch. Its okay to re fry the chicken that has been draining on a rack. I posted this earlier:
I am going to fry some chicken drum sticks. For the batter I use 1/2 cup grounded corn meal (corn flour), 1 cup flour, 3 cups water, and 2 teaspoon garlic salt. I season my chicken with a common season salt and let it rest a few hours. Then I flour, batter, flour and fry four drum sticks for 15 min at 350F. I use a Delonghi deep fryer. I tried frying them for 12 minutes, but they weren't cook. The corn flour was the secret missing ingredient in my quest to create a high quality fried chicken.

All the recipes for fried chicken on You tube can't beat this simple batter.

I fell behind 20 pages!

I'll start with friday night...
Frozen pizza.
Saturday: 'the impossible' cheeseburger pie (it was pretty good, I didn't expect much)
Sunday: meatballs, baby carrots, and (the remainder of the homegrown) chicken wings.
Tonight: quesadillas with leftover meat from the past few days.

Now I gotta get caught up.

Think I'll make up a batch of scalloped potatoes with spicy sausage....
...and there's some broccoli left to steam up.
I still haven't gone grocery shopping.
It's kind of interesting to 'empty the larders', there's still enough not to starve.

BF is quite happy I stock up on things I am usually able to put something together
