why does day old cooked chicken have that 'left-over' taste?
Comments (41)Studies have shown a great many home refrigerators' temperature are way off. Too warm. I wonder if that's not a large part of it, plus the coating mix. I don't really love chicken but I do roast one about every 6 weeks, primarily for stock, and I don't find that it tastes much different the next day or two. But I also don't like white meat, so that often goes into a chicken curry salad or something. But I have to say that even when I was on Dr. Pat's diet for a while, I broiled the chicken breasts for four days at a time, and they were just about the same on day four as on day 1, even if I got lazy and micro-ed them. My fridge is stuck at 34º, so maybe that helps, and I store in glasslock. I do usually buy Murray's chicken, for whatever that's worth....See MoreHow large a turkey for 5 adults with leftovers?
Comments (8)Well, I've got to go with what my dad has always done in the past. I swear two 25-27 lbers served 50 people when we used to rent a hall for the entire family, and there *were* leftovers. But I guess my parents really like their sandwiches. As I said, my dad's a big eater. According to what I read online, smaller birds have more % bone so 2 lbs per person instead of 1.5 lbs is a better estimate, but *still* I'd think that 11.4 lbs would be enough for 5 adults (2 of them women who don't eat much, my mom would eat like 1 slice of breast meat and I eat the equivalent of 2 chicken thighs max and that's pigging out, won't eat again that day even if we have the big dinner at 2pm or so) and 1 very picky 11-yo. For example, my guys will eat 2 chicken thighs each if I make them, and serve them on the bone (I would normally only eat 1) but if I make soup like I did last night (30 minutes in pressure cooker), or a casserole of something with lots of "filler" then 4 thighs is more than enough for the 4 of us. Tonight I browned 1 lb of ground turkey, saved about 1/2 of it, used 2 quarts of beef broth, 2 cans of beans and some leftover spaghetti sauce with ditalini to make soup. We each had 2 bowls (DS and DH might have had 3, I wasn't counting), and I have more than a quart of soup left over (DD just ate some leftover noodles with plain browned meat). On The Washington Post site I found this quote "One of our staple resources in the Food section is the âÂÂChefâÂÂs Book of Formulas, Yields & Sizes,â by Arno Schmidt. The book says one 22-pound turkey will yield 12 pounds of roasted meat, including scraps, which equates to 22 servings �" lining up perfectly with the USDA guidance." which is 1 lb uncooked per person. That's just over 1/2lb of cooked boneless meat per serving. I'm sure the guys *could* eat 1 lb each (though DH and DS maybe less since there will be side dishes) but yeah, good estimate if they each have a sandwich later that night, there's 3 lbs. Mom, DD and I combined will eat 1.5lbs perhaps (that's with me pigging out b/c no way is DD going to eat 1/2lb of meat), there's 4.5 lbs of meat, no bones. If an 18 lb turkey yields 9-9.5 lbs of meat then we'll have about half left over, I would be fine with 2 lbs of leftovers for sandwiches(plus half the bones to make soup), that should last a week (DH and DS go through a lb of turkey lunchmeat each week but carved turkey is thicker, I think you tend to use more, and I'll be eating it too). That leaves 2.5 - 3 lbs or so (plus half the bones) leftover for my parents. So I really think 18 lbs is enough, no reason to buy 20 (4 lbs per adult!)....See MoreHow Many of You have Ever Eaten...............?
Comments (16)When we were kids we would beg Mom to make us some "English Muffins" Every day that she made home made bread she would take a small ball of dough and flatten it between her hands, sometimes putting cornmeal on the outside but more than often not, fry it in a bit of oil in the old cast iron frying pan. When golden brown and puffed up they were so good with just a bit of butter, or cinnamon sugar, or whatever we wanted to put on them. It was really hard not to burn your tongue as you waited for them to cool enough to eat. Most carnivals or exhibitions have booths that sell the same but are called beaver tails, or elephant ears and have a variety of toppings. The dough may then be sprinkled with things such as granulated sugar, powdered sugar, cinnamon, fruit sauce, chocolate sauce, cheese, maple syrup, whipped cream, tomato sauce, garlic butter, Lemon Juice, honey and butter or a combination of more than one of these. Yummy...once past the lips forever on the hips....:(...See MoreAnyone else having leftovers today?
Comments (39)Nope. And I'm thrilled! As you may remember, my mom has quit eating or taking her medications, and we three children went to talk to her face to face. We made like we came to see her because she wasn't at church, and we came to say hi. It surely was to find out the severity. She was in bed asleep. Only one glass, no dishes, no trash, the mail still piled up, only Tuesday meds taken. Sigh. Mom got out of bed to to see us. As sister and i were situating her doctors appointments, rarely seen bro was talking to her, along with his girlfriend and two kids, she must've thought someone said something about pizza. Undoubtedly she misheard something. The girlfriends kids latched onto that and said pizza I want pizza! I jokingly popped up in the room about that time and said pizza I want pizza! She was on board with eating pizza, so we ate pizza. I handed her a small stack of mail for her to go through that looked important, and her pile of medications. She took the medications and went through the mail. if she said she wanted to wait 3 hours and eat pizza later on, I would have done it. I think we all would have. It was good to see her eat! She promised to take her medications. We'll see if that sparked something. Crossing fingers!...See More
