^^^ looks good, decent prices to


Ive been getting into roasting chickens lately.

Fun little thing to throw in the oven on a lazy Saturday or Sunday.

First you have to find a bird around 4 lbs, which is actually kinda hard. You have to get them mid week bc by the weekend its 6 lbs birds only.

Brining process. Did just a salt brine, no water, this weekend and that is def the way to go vs the salt bath brine.

experimenting with seasoning mixes, lemons, garlic butter etc

For like $6 you get this incredible looking bird that feeds the whole fam, looks great putting a whole crispy bird on the dinner table then carving that bitch like a Norman Rockwell painting ... then left over sandwhiches the next day or chicken quessadillas.

try doing that your way but put diced up potatoes and onions in the bottom of the pan, they come out so good as a side dish.

Need to cook a lot at once we bake in the oven but I prefer pan frying.

Costco(cooked) roasted Chickens are very good!

Re: Food Vices
 

I also bake my bacon, although it's better fried. I don't do any frying in my house.

Did you guys know that:

All this talk about chicken and bacon is making me hungry.

I agree hate the smell of fried shit in my house for days.

I use this:

Switching gears here, gonna go pick up a pound of wisconsin brick cheese after work so I can make [URL="https://media1.fdncms.com/metrotimes/imager/u/original/20467305/detroiter_and_beer.jpg"]this[/URL] this weekend. It's been 6 months since I had a homemade Detroit style. I legit used to order a LB off Amazon but they charge almost 10 for the cheese and 14 for the shipping - just found a small cheese store in Alexandria that supposedly stocks wisconsin brick cheese - which is an essential ingredient to the pie.

Favorite non-ranch salad dressing? Anyone actually use 1000 islands on salad? My dad likes that stuff.

I'm on a blue cheese kick. Used to hate that dressing when I was little, now it's my 2nd favorite.

Ranch, Russian, Greek and light Cesar are the dressing that matter for salad. blue cheese is too heavy for salad but I like it as a dipping condiment.
