Wish it had a little more heat but was missing cayenne so had to adjust Cayenne, Chipotle & Ancho chile powders are staples in the pantry. Ancho doesn't have any heat, but a great flavor. I mix it with a little brown sugar, along with cumin, cracked black pepper & kosher salt, then put it on cedar planked salmon. That **** disappears, quickly, at tailgate parties. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Pork chops marinated in mojo criollo, with rice and spinach. It's one of my favorites. So glad I bought a grill pan with a removable handle. I can start on the stove for grill marks on one side, then into my oven and turn halfway to finish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Marinated one of the tuna steaks in soy sauce, brown sugar & garlic. (I was never in charge of searing the tuna, so this was the first time I did it myself. ) I like it about medium, and it got a little too done on the inside, and not quite crispy enough outside...so I've already figured out what to do next time. I made brown rice and corn for sides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 For some reason I want just some old fashioned Chinese food tonight. Shrimp fried rice, Pork fried rice, Eggrolls, etc. Flipside, I should have already started ribs when I was planning for it last night. I miss DC carryout Chinese. It's certainly not genuine, but it is tasty. I could easily hook up some wings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing I've been craving, that we haven't had any of since quarantine. My smoker is currently sitting under the deck and my deep fryer on the shelf in the basement. As if I couldn't have been smoking dinner practically everyday during all this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Me too, Kosher. My favorite Chinese place is closed, the place closest to me is terrible. There's a good place near work, but I'd have to go out, and I've got some frozen PF Chang's fried rice. I can cook a chicken breast & throw it in there. That'll have to do for now. 😁 I really want some fried dumplings & shrimp toast, tho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff is actually pretty good and I think outweighs going through the motions of making your own from scratch. Although I like it better when it's on sale. You don't get very much for the full price, at least not at the grocery stores I go to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Prep is the most annoying part of cooking nearly anything. Never had PF frozen. I haven't been there in about 15 years besides just having a beverage. Portions are so small for the price. I do recall really liking the appetizer ribs though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Most of the restaurants around me have one decent dish and the rest are horrible. It makes experimenting on a limited budget a non starter. E.g., the local chinese place has decent shrimp with lobster sauce and pepper steak. The soups are pretty awful and the fried rice bland. There's a good pho place, everything else is so so. I still haven't found a decent pizza place, so I bought some Jiffy pizza mix, haven't used it yet. I cook so much better than going to restaurants. Scored 2 lbs of Dungeness crab legs at the store pickup today. Also, some thick pork chops, chicken thighs, a trimmed brisket, and some other staples. My freezer will be full again.

LadySkinsFan Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I'm frying a couple of chicken thighs today. Everything else is in the freezer. The Dungeness crabs are consumed already.

So worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
