LadyCrimson Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Chicken liver is for catfishing. ...chicken hearts and liver can be pretty tasty. I still preferred beef liver's tho, if made right (they can get way too dry, easily). “Things are as they are.

Enoch Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) What? The absolute best part of roasting a whole chicken is tossing the liver in a ramekin with a little oil, salt, and pepper (and, if you're feeling fancy, a tiny splash of sherry vinegar) to cook for the first 10 minutes you've got the bird in the oven, then eating all of it yourself on ritz crackers as an appetizer while still standing in the kitchen! (I do literally this, like, every other weekend. Except when they screw me over by not having a liver among the extra parts that come in the chicken.) I've never figured out anything decent to do with the heart or gizzard, though. Edited January 30, 2015 by Enoch 1

He is my favorite UK celebrity chef I like the way you think in South Africa most of the chickens you buy have these insides removed which just seems like such a waste. So we have to buy organs like heart and liver separately Gizzards I eat the way the Portuguese eat them or at least how I have been served them, you fry them in butter ( use some olive oil so the butter doesn't burn ) and garlic and serve them with a peri-peri dipping sauce and some crusty bread "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Gromnir Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Which reminds me that tonight is Tacos Tuesday at my local taqueria! Mmm...carnitas.... we chose to do tacos thursday instead o' tuesday... and we made carnitas de pato 'cause o' the following reasons: 1) Gromnir likes duck 2) Gromnir were running outta duck fat and we needed a duck recipe/excuse to replenish our supply. braise the duck (3-4 lbs o' legs... or when lazy, just quarter a whole duck) in a dutch oven for a few hours with a fine chopped white onion, juice and remains o' an orange or two, garlic head halved and whatever mexican spices appeal to you. is best to do this as a 2 day thing as half o' our motivation is collection o' duck fat and that is best done with an overnight cooling. eventual we collect our duck fat, strain out solids from liquid, and discard skin and bones. shred meat. add a little o' our precious duck fat to a cast iron skillet, set over medium-high heat and then cook duck til is nice and crispy.

Labadal Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) My throat is still messing with me and I feel dead tired. Sent my brother to the closest burger joint and that's what we ate. Burger with onion, salad, tomato and cheese with some tasty dressing each and we also shared some McNuggets. Edited January 30, 2015 by Labadal

Gromnir Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 am wondering if the french have some weird national sadism insofar as ducks is concerned.

ManifestedISO Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) oops, not pepperoni, Mongolian beef. Some veggies. Happy sauce, in the 6.4% range. Superbowl weekend is my favorite. Incidentally, when it says use large skillet, nine inches is not big enough, which is the first time I've ever heard that complaint. It's more like 9.5" anyway.

Labadal Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Going to get a pizza and then play some poker with friends. They don't know that I have a nasty cold, but I really want to play, even if I will only play for an hour at most.
ManifestedISO Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) It's still the holidays, Super Sunday is like Christmas in February, so for elevensies it's hot cereal a la Malt O' Meal, sourdough toast, glass of milk, some happy thoughts.
