Tonight I'm making stuffed bacon wrapped chicken. For the filling I'm using cream cheese, garlic and mozzarella cheese. I'm topping them with brown sugar, paprika, garlic and onion powder.

I sliced the breast on the side and stuffed the cheese mix in.

And they're currently baking at 400° until they look done.

Oven and a Pinot Noir and some beef stock. I couldn't find any veal demi glace.
So in the pan you sear the meat, you should sweat your veggies and deglaze with the wine, all in the same pan. Though that’s pretty basic so I’m sure you already knew that.

It wouldn’t hurt to throw that beef stock in a pot and start reducing it a little. You don’t happen to have double the amount you need, so you could reduce it by half? I guess that only really works if you got the low sodium beef broth, it may be too salty otherwise

Yeah I realized the low salt after I reduced LOL. Oh well it wasn't too salty and I just didn't salt the mashed potatoes and it was glorious

I’m letting myself off the leash a bit for the holidays. Gonna be a coupla weeks of Sunday breakfast. There’s half a stick of butter between the half-stack (fried in lard) and the eggs (two eggs 3 yolks!)

I think I need a bit more buttermilk in the mix. I also absently omitted the Tbs of sugar! They turned out very very tasty. (Did I mention a stick of butter?) So next batch 1/2 sugar and buttermilk enough to let the batter spread.

1.5 ml of the oil for 75 mg goodness. With all that butter (and the lard in the pan) I got good smooth delivery.

I swung by Brooklyn Deli in Lancaster yesterday. Ordered a corned beef on rye with Swiss. Not a bad sandwich. My one complaint is that with double meat (there have to be two inches of shaved meat on a Samuel from a real Jewish deli) it was a $21 meal.

Minor issues is that while the meat is good, it tastes like the commercial stuff you can get at the grocery store. My two references are the Homewood Deli in Baltimore and the Carnegie Deli off Central Park Noo Yoahk, Noo Yoahk.

I was stunned to learn they both are gone.
Here is a pic of a Samuel from Carnegie Deli.
You can see it isn’t a sammie



I ordered no condiments because I habe better mustard. A pleasant Vienna Lager from self-described “wandering brewers” who named this blend for a monster of Korean folklore. How cool would it be to convert a large motor home into a working microbrewery with adequate quarters for two?
Also slightly bummed at the side. Kettle chips are kind of like real potato chips, only not as good as imo,

A solid B plus, not figuring in the price. Other half is in fridge with a remaining can of Wanderbier.
