Need Recipe for Really Good Bloody Mary Please
Comments (4)First - you need really good vodka. Don't believe people who tell you all vodka tastes the same because it's a neutral spirit. Not true. Two of the best are Belvedere and Chopin. Chopin is made in Poland from potatoes while Belvedere is made in Poland from rye - they do NOT taste the same. Grey Goose is okay (made in France) but, not one of my favorites. All of the cheap vodkas taste like they should be used to run model airplanes.... Put a shot of vodka in a glass. Add a splash of Worchestershire sauce Add a splash of Tobasco Stir slightly to mix Add ice Add tomato juice (I like V8 because of the extra tang) If you want, squeeze some lemon into the mix. Sprinkle Hot Shot (pepper mix) and some Seasonall over the top. Add a stalk of celery to mix the drink a bit more. Enjoy + eat the celery as you drink the Bloody Mary....See MoreGot a good Fried Chicken recipe?
Comments (3)Oh Robin you've made my mouth water and the memories of Sunday dinner at our house as a child come flooding back. My dad made the best fried chicken. It was and is a fairly simple recipe. Being health and weight conscience I only make it for special occassions. My kids still ask for Pop's fried chicken on their b-days. Coat and Season chicken, (can use boneless breasts or other parts after soaking in ice, salted water for about an hour) with flour and salt and pepper. Dip coated chicken in an egg and milk mixture, again with s&p. Then take a brown grocery bag. Put flour, (start with 2 or three cups (depending on how many pieces you are coating. More s&p) Place chicken pieces only one or two at a time in the bag and shake, shake, shake until pieces are nicely coated. After all pieces are coated, place chicken in frig while heating Crisco shortening in a cast iron skillet. When shortening is melted take a drop or two of water, when shortening sizzles the pan is ready for the chicken. Do only a few pieces at a time. Leave lots of room in the pan for chicken to fry. When golden brown remove chicken. Place on paper towels and remove excess fat. Season to taste while chicken is still hot! We never made a gravy for it, never saw the need! Enjoy. Now I need some of Pop's Fried Chicken! :)...See MoreRECIPE: Need really good bagged lunch idea's
Comments (6)I use a lot of those "snack sized" baggies. Then I measure out a portion of almonds, peanuts, dried mangos, muesli, granola -- lots of little snacks -- you can put almost anything you like to eat into one of those little baggies. I love yogurt, and will mix the muesli or granola right into the yogurt. I take packages of flavored oatmeal along with a package of fruit -- for example, peach oatmeal with peaches packed in water -- and I make that up for lunch, with a sprinkling of toasted slivered almonds on top (for protein). I hard boil eggs, and take them along (make sure you don't hard boil fresh eggs; they are dreadful to peel. Wait until the eggs are at least 1 week past the "sell by" date, and then cook them. The shells will just fall off. Trust me. I used to raise chickens.) All of the pasta salads are wonderful, as mentioned. One I use is 2 pounds rottelle (? spelling - that spiral pasta) pasta, cooked al dente, mixed with a package of dry bacon Ranch dressing that has been made up with fat-free mayo. I usually add more mayo than the package says to add, as it keeps the pasta nice and moist, and you don't skimp on the flavor at all. To that I add whatever variety of shredded veggies I'm in the mood for that week, or is available at the market. It's simple and quick. You can add string cheese, low fat cheddar (or regular, if calories aren't an issue), those cartons of cottage cheese that are a single serving with fruit on the top that you mix in, or any other cheese you like. I make my own bread, so I'll often include a piece of that, and sometimes wrap the cheese up in the bread and eat it that way. If you like veggies out of a can, you can include those. I sometimes add small cans of peas or corn (my favorites). Don't forget fresh veggies, with or without hummus (yummy and so good for you and so filling as well!) Of course, you can always make your own soup or salad ahead of time. If you made up, for example, some chili on the weekend, you could eat it all week, or eat it a couple of times and freeze the rest in individual portions. Same with other soups. Salads don't take long to toss together, and will keep in the fridge as long as you don't add the tomatoes (which will end up mushy in a fridge), so you add those at the last minute, along with the dressing. Oh, yes, and every now and then, I really do eat a sandwich. It's just that I've had to pack a lunch for most of my career, and by now, sandwiches have really gotten old! Anyway, hope I've offered a few ideas you like. MacThayer...See MoreGood chicken noodle soup recipe???
Comments (4)I think the key to a good chicken soup is the chicken itself! Buy a good chicken. Put it in a stock pot almost covered with water. Bring to a gentle boil, skimming off the foam. Add onion, carrots, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for about an hour - or until the chicken is very tender and comes off the bone easily. Remove the chicken. Remove the bones and add them back to the chicken stock. Simmer for about another hour..add more water if needed. Strain the stock (you can chill and remove most of the fat if desired -but leave some) Heat stock to a boil, add HOMEMADE noodles and cook until tender - you can add fresh carrots to this also. Add the chicken back in at the end. It doesn't get all stringy if you just put it back in right before you serve. I think it is best reheated the next day! I love to make soup!!!!...See Moregigghee
