I'll have egg salad sandwiches with chips and a green salad for dinner. Sometime this evening I think I'll smoke some dogs on the grill or make a pot of chili, haven't decided yet. With the tornado weather predicted for tomorrow I'll probably lose electricity and I'll need food I can warm up quickly.
 
Well, I burnt the heck out of the chicken on the grill. I'm used to the Traeger grill, where it's almost impossible to burn or even overcook anything. But I used the propane grill tonight. The wife likes the chicken more crispy than it comes out of the Traeger. Well, it was crispy alright when I was done with it. Solid black. I had to chisel it off the grates. We crunched our way through it. It was like eating something that was shoveled out of the barn. More like eating the barn itself actually.

Tomorrow I'll play it safe and microwave some Lean Cuisines or something. Total disaster today. :(
 
Birthday dinner, by my request...
Chic Fil A drive thru (you know where this is, Terri)
Chocolate cake and neopolitan ice cream for dessert!!!!
No cooking for me today. Well, except breakfast and lunch.

Happy late birthday!! I'm so jealous. Not a Chick-fil-A for 200 miles and they won't deliver this far out. Of course only 1 person in my county is sick so.....

Since my hens started laying again.... and I had bought a dozen eggs a week ago...

Tonight I made a big batch of Egg Salad! It turned out good but I didn't add enough salt... Thats what the shaker is for.

A bad storm is about 2 hours away and I might lose electricity... So I'll have an egg salad sandwich, chips and a green salad followed by peach cobbler then batten down the hatches for the storm.
That sounds delicious.
 
I had liverwurst and cheese on crackers

I'm coming to your house!! LOVE liver and onions! ❤

I make really good liver. Since I have a milk cow and can afford to waste milk, I soak the liver in fresh milk every day for at least two days, three is better. It draws all the crud out of the liver so no bitter taste and very tender. Liver should always be fried low and slow and the onions properly carmelized in the liver drippings. No one these days seems able to caramelize an onion.

Stores also insist on slicing it too thin. I only use home grown liver. I know what my cows have been eating or exposed to. When can I expect you and what's for desert?
 
I cleaned out freezer so we have some things we need to eat soon, all of which are veggies and fruit.
So we had turnip greens we grew last year, pineapple we sliced and froze which is a great frozen treat,strawberries and lima beans. Plus I cooked chicken fried rice.
Some ofall of this will be breakfast,dinner,a snack and supper.
 
I found a recipe for fried chicken liver that I am going to try tonight. Keto friendly and I put a twist on the coating by adding cayenne. If I like it enough on the liver, i am going to make wings tomorrow.
 
let me start by saying that i am not nor have I ever been a fan of liver. The one exception was one time my aunt deep fried some chicken liver.

Anyhow, here is the recipe that I used.

The only changes I made was added 1/2 tsp cayenne and used lard instead of coconut oil.

I did taste good just not enough cayenne. Will try tomorrow with wings.
