Went to Royal Farms yesterday.

Got the 5 (actually gave me 6) Spicy Strips + Fries.

Made 2 meals out of it. Solid stuff.

They are stingy with the sauce though. Only allowed two.

Gave the roll to the birds.

 

[deusavertat]

Cheese omelet, sweet potato hash, sausage topped with one of my fave hit sauces.

Detroit style pizza >>> Chicago pizza

Why are you using Pizza Hut as the reference point though?

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Why are you using Pizza Hut as the reference point though?

Cause its the best pizza outta the 4 major national pizza chains. Would still get a cardboard dollar slice from 2 bros before Pizza Hut tho

 

[heelsandeers]

You know a style of pizza has made it when Big Pizza picks up on it

Yea, if we are discussing Regional Pizza choices the names PH, PJ, Dominos shouldn't even be used in any arguments made.

i've also picked up some pecorino romano and have been using that instead of parmesan.
it's delicious. learned that from kenji whenever you want to mix it up a little bit.

 

[heelsandeers]

Parmesan might be my favorite cheese but pecorino is great too. Made cacio e pepe again last night

I'll usually buy the 24 month Kirkland parmigiano reggiano. Solid cheese for the price

Wouldn't recommend Kirkland pecorino romano though

Thanks, dude. I really enjoy cooking, and as much as I enjoy the challenge of making things from scratch, I also like to use pre-made things when I can to save time and effort. While I don't use exact recipes, I can give you a basic idea of how I made the chicken pot pie.
Cube 2 medium sized chicken breasts and dice 1 large onion, sautee until chicken is 75% cooked
For the base of the pie, start with a roux. Add equal parts butter and flour to your chicken/onions in the pan, cooking to a light golden color.
Then pour in chicken broth, and simmer until your sauce thickens. Season with additional salt, pepper, thyme, and sage to taste.
Then add a frozen pea/carrot mixture. Feel free to use fresh if you prefer. Just adjust your liquid accordingly.
Cook until vegetables are just below tender. This should be pretty quick, especially if your carrots are cut small.
For the topping, I used the Pilsbury grands Flaky layer biscuits. I split them in half along the layers and put them across the top as pictured.
Then you brush with an egg wash, and sprinkle on your everything bagel seasoning.
Bake at 350-375 until your top is golden brown.

rc103dc DId you make the pie crust from scratch? (Quiche )

Nope, I did not. I used a premade crust, but blind baked it prior to adding my quiche filling.

Thanks! In an alternate universe, I probably would have pursued culinary school instead of medicine, lol.

I tend to agree with this statement. But after I got my espresso machine a few years back I only drink iced coffee when I get it from starbucks Or something. I don’t make iced drinks at home.

 

[rhinosport]

Hot coffee in the summer is better than no coffee at all. . .

 

[rooster]

I’m not drinking hot coffee outside in the summer
It’s either inside or a car with AC

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think the statement should read, "Drinking hot coffee OUTSIDE during the summer is wild."

LIke FOgHorn said, drinking it inside is acceptable.

 

[deusavertat]

Oatmeal raisin may be the goat cookie. I know, it's not a popular opinion but these whole foods one hits

 

[rooster]

I will only eat oatmeal and raisins if it’s inside a cookie
