Default Dinner Tonight 7/9/20

I'm baking chicken thighs using an old recipe that calls for instant
mashed potato flakes as the coating. Brush the chicken with melted
butter seasoned with S&P and garlic powder. Coat the chicken with
instant dried potato flakes. Let stand on waxed paper until the coating
is well set. Place the chicken in a lightly buttered glass baking dish
and bake at 400F 30-40 minutes until the coating is crisp outside and
the chicken is tender and juicy inside. (Internal temp at least 160F
using an instant read thermometer.)

I'm making couscous and steamed Fordhook limas on the stovetop to go
along with the chicken. Yum!

The instant potato flakes sound interesting and I'd like the crispy coating
once the chicken is cooked.

IMO, Chicken thighs are best cooked to 180-185F. Especially if you
have butter on them.

I had a breakfast sausage patty, scrambled eggs, and a slice of fresh
bread. Washed down with a glass of milk.

Lunch was curried vegetables, so between lunch and dinner I got all
the food groups covered.

Brunch (cat had a somewhat early vet appointment) was frozen waffles done
in the toaster oven and two sausage patties. Pretty darn good since I was
quite hungry. Mine was washed down with a glass of milk as well.

No real idea what supper will be.

I buy the Kroger brand. If your wife doesn't like them then she doesn't
have to eat them, does she? Buy yourself a box and enjoy.

Yeah, but we're talking about toaster waffles! What's the big deal?
It's not a highly specialized meal with expensive ingredients that could
stink up the house. Why would Hank's wife actually care if he
occasionally buys and eats frozen toaster waffles?

Making allowances for a spouse or partner's dislikes or even allergies
is one thing. Stopping eating something as simple as a toaster waffle
because the wife doesn't lso like them is just plain silly. How much
could it possibly bother her if he bought a box of frozen waffles?

Try the frozen pancakes sometime. Same ingredients and very
good, Microwave to hot in a covered bowl. Add butter and syrup

Might have to do with it if she does the shopping and forgets?
