Default Dinner tonight... Nov 6

Chicken Chausseur. It is back to the old days for me. For years I was
the primary cook, especially Sunday nights, a night to do something
special. A few years ago my wife took over most of the cooking and I
didn't mind a bit. She did a lot of roasts, and over the last year or
two she did a lot of roast chickens. I liked them, but I got tired of them.

This week she bought a three pound chicken and asked if I was ready for
roast chicken again. Nope. I thought I would prefer one of our old
standard.. chicken chasseur. I forgot that it called for brown sauce,
so things were held up for a while to make that.

It has been cooking for a while. Megatron has taken over to do the
noodles and broccoli to be served with it.

I thought I had a couple of raw chicken thighs in the refrigerator,
but I must have thrown them in with the pre-marinated chicken thighs
in mole sauce that I cooked last night. Darn! I baked really good
2-Ingredient buttermilk biscuits this morning and started picturing
those thighs as shredded chicken in a cream sauce with mushroom
spooned over them.

The good news is that I have plenty mole chicken left to turn into
something else. Now I need to figure out what it will be.

Grilled salmon here. I had mine plain. He rubbed his with some of this:

2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

He was trying to re-create something he had someplace in Virginia
on a business trip.

We put a smoke pouch of applewood chips on the burner, but for the
short time the salmon cooked it didn't do that much. I think I got
more benefit from smelling the smoke on my clothing as I ate.

Along with: Caesar-ish salad and boiled new potatoes.

Chicken/Tuna Tetrazzini.
I prefer tuna tetrazzini but both are good.... there's a zillion
recipes, use what ingredients you have. I like to use broken
****ghettis and I like to include green pimento stuffed olives....
good as a cassarole topped with crushed chitato pips.

The chicken is prolly GMO fed, so make some more biskies --using
organic flour-- and laugh at the toxic chicken eaters. Better-Than-Boullion
chkn stk also comes in organic.

I will, but only by adding a link about toxic supermarket chicken:

I have the same problem today with the same thing. Well, it's not a
problem. I will make bread and gravy. Pour it on a couple of slices of
white bread. That's what I do with excess, savable gravy.
This is way easier than cooking potatoes, noodles, rice or anything
else to make with it, and it's great. I've eaten leftover gravy this
way since I was a kid.

Nah, 215#. The doc hasn't mentioned coronary disease yet. I mentioned
"good" gravy. I only make that with fried chicken, roast pork, roast
beef and turkey. I don't eat bread and gravy often, but l-not-l hit me
on a rare day when I have left over fried chicken gravy, and bread and
gravy is what I'm going to do with it.

I second that with fries otherwise I'd freeze the gravy and save
it for the next time I have chicken, like maybe breast
tenderlointhat I couldn't really make gravy with. I think it
freezes well.

I've very rarely bought any frozen fries but as I remember the cooking
directions for frozen tater tots say to bake them, same for frozen
fries... actually if the directions said to deep fry or even pan fry
pitifuly few would buy them. Now that I'm thinking about it when my
grands were much younger they requested frozen tots and fries for when
they visited so I'd stock up and they would nuke them.... there was a
lot of frozen meals they could nuke themselves; egg n' cheeze muffins
and Eggo toaster products were favorites... I quickly learned not to
bother cooking for them as like many kids they were so used to fast
food dreck they wouldn't eat a home cooked meal... they could live on
these:
https://www.poptarts.com/en_US/home.html
As they got older they visited less as they were going to school,
summer camp, and would rather hang with their friends. As I got older
I came to realize that I no longer enjoyed young kids, I found them to
be a PIA. Actually I've discovered that kids today don't truly begin
to mature until they're about 30 years old, many never mature in
responsibility past that of a 4 year old.

I guess that was Steve based on your smirky face.

I will say this (and before now)
I've cooked tater tots all 3 ways...

- in microwave when I was in a hurry. not so good but ok
- baked in the oven and still not so good.
- deep fried and those kids are to die for. no comparison.

Cuz they are already cooked!

I usta make 'em. All they are is small barrel shaped hash browns.
They are partially (par) deep fried jes prior to fast freezing. All
the customer is doing is warming them up and finish cooking them. Any
method will work jes fine.

I agree. Haven't cooked them in years, but when I did - I baked them
at high heat and cooked them to crispy. No complaints here.

Yep, it was. He sort of implied I was a wimp for not deep frying them.

I have always baked them. I did work at a place as a teenager that deep
fried them. They also deep fried the hamburgers.

Go ahead and fry yours. I can't be bothered with the mess of all that
oil. Storing the oil. Cleaning up splatters. Not to mention, I don't
own a deep fryer.

It's not as if I eat tater tots every day. Baked works just fine for me.

Ditto. I still like them occasionally. Oven baked until crispy. I've
never fried them.

When the grandkids are here, I put them in the Nu-Wave, they come out really
crispy in a short time.

So what... frozen foods offer as many as three cooking methods but
nearly everyone chooses nuking.

Before I'd heat up a pan of oil to fry tater tots I'd much rather
potato latkes or potato kugel. Very easy and quick, I send the
potatoes through my grinder and drain some in a strainer, then grind
the onion, then grind the matzo.

How do you like the Nu-Wave? I just looked it up. Good product or
gimmick?

I have had it for several years now and use it often. I love it because it
does exactly what it's supposed to do. I keep mine on a small stand next to
the microwave. I like it in the summer especially because it doesn't really
generate a lot of heat in the kitchen.

I went were no man has gone before to bring you results. Microwaved tots
are hot and cooked nicely but soggy. They even stick together. Better
than nothing but barely. lol.

It was a last minute idea so I tried it. In the future, I won't do that
again.

You took one for the team. My hat is off to you, Gary. You
sacrificed for the sake of science and RFC and look at the respect it
got.

You're talking about the air-fryer? I wondered what they were good
for, so it sounds like it is best used for items that were fried
before being frozen.

No, not the air-fryer, the NuWave Pro Plus Countertop Oven. It's great for a
lot of things, roast chicken, steaks, all kinds of meats in fact, plus
anything you can cook in an oven, casseroles etc.

Seems that all 3 of us were joking around. No harm done. You two kiss
and make up and the microwaved tater tots are on me! ;-D

Thanks for your *personal* review. I saw the "buy one get one free"
thing and that was an immediate red flag. I won't need one any time soon
but I'll keep it in mind for the future. It sounds like a
winner...especially if I can get two for the price of one. heheh
