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. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

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. Cindy Hamilton |

I prefer tuna tetrazzini but both are good.... there's a zillion recipes, use what ingredients you have.

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. leo |

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. leo |

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 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. |

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.
