I can't fry either, but would enjoy it if someone else would do it :(

I think growing up in Chicago and not coming from a family that was raised up on down home cooking, I never could grasp how it's really done without all the grease that has stayed in food I've tried to fry. Actually, I have a small deep fryer for easy things.

shhh it's a secret. LOL I usually end up adding something to jar stuff. Sometimes I use a can of chili or soup to start a base to make veg or chili soup then end up adding more spices and seasoning and ingredients to it.

I have made my own tomato sauce for spaghetti and also w/ meatballs but I will admit I pick up Prego or Ragu when it's onsale for a quick sauce. :p

You know, I am so in the mood for comfort food tonight. Too exhausted to cook :( Would love some really creamy cheesy macaroni, topped with crispy bacon, sauteed mushrooms.....OOOO and maybe a toasted cheese and turkey sandwich to dip in the cheese sauce. Can you tell I love cheese??? OR King Ranch chicken on a bed of yellow rice topped with sour cream, guacamole, and jalapenos!

I won't be making either tonight. I am beat! Just a foodie dream! lol

Cheese freaks unite. We could start a club.

What is King Ranch chicken?

I would die with no good Chinese food. Seriously. I am not being my normally dramatic self. Die. Dead. I would be dead.

Ok Chicago pizza you can make you just need a deep dish pan. Can you mail order some of the other things? We found some good Cajun sausage online a few days ago when girl dee was talking about how she has to stock up when she makes road trips home. Surely you can get a few things online no?

I die a little inside every time I get a craving for something that tastes bad here.
Really, a few things I can cook now thru trial and error.
I'm thankful for some of the things I find bland, I can infuse with jalapenos or some other kind of chili.
As for Italian sausage, I may just learn to make my own...will be another trial and error thing should it come down to it.
Lastly, I don't plan on staying in OK and change is in my future.
So, yay to yummy food again when that happens.

I have to deep fry & pan fry things for work and its all about the temperature of the oil. If you want to experiment sometime let me know and I will see what I can do to help.

gaea said that she makes a killer fried chicken so maybe she can give us some tips.

Wow that looks good and with all the toppings that you mention I bet it tastes good too. What is the sauce?

I am studying Culinary Arts at Houston Community College. I've got one more class left before I get my AAS degree in that. I will be taking that next semester, along with some more baking classes.

A good fried chicken is all about the oil, i never use olive oil blech its bad for frying chicken...I tried it once ...I use a canola oil. I also have been doing this for so long...that to test my oil i drop in a pinch of flour that is how i know when my oil is ready. It takes time and patience when frying chicken not much different i would imagine that bbq'ing time and patience.

My fried chicken is also not "greasy" as i cannot stand greasy flavorings...eeewww

It is also juicy stuff the best this side of the Mississippi :) bragging on myself here....

Would be happy to share....I do not make this often so im looking forward to making it again.

ps......I made this for a 4th of July picnic used my recipe however made strips and brought non home however received about 5 marriage proposals, that still makes me smile.

"please make this for me"

Meatballs? hmmm...where you at?

When I was a kid I was in charge of the meatballs on Sunday. I took this job very, very seriously.

It so simple its silly however here goes

Put your pieces of chicken bone in skin on in a large bowl, add milk (i plug my nose for this) add salt and pepper to the milk I do not know how much as i tend to eyeball things not so much use measuring spoons or anything.

Marinate the chicken in the milk 8-12 hours even 24 would work

I do not do an egg wash

I then season my flour with salt and pepper
coat the pieces right out of the milk either in a paper bag or a a ziplock bag.

then fry...make sure you allow for frying time when you are using bone in skin on pieces as they take a little bit longer.

this is so simple and easy it delicious,

I think that I would like to work in hotels, at least for the Internship for my Co-Op class. Overall, they seem like the best idea for me since I want health insurance and I don't want to work crazy amounts of hours. I want a life, outside of the job, and someone in it for me. Also, I may well end up moving to Florida or Michigan to take care of my mother, although I really enjoy living in Houston right now. This way, I have a shot at being able to transfer to a job in that area.

Given that I am in my low 50's, I want a bit of security in my life, if at all possible.

Sounds like a good plan. Hotels, especially resort hotels seem to have stable work environments and if you can get into a union you will be better off. My advice would be to focus on an area of specialization. For example I should be able to find work in any hotel in Garde Manger. Another example, is the hot line. There are not enough people who can work a breakfast station well, so there is always a need for that. Saute' is a specialty area, as are Banquets. Garde Manger professionals are hard to come by. Especially in a resort area.
