Made the dish after marinating for two days (Would have made it yesterday, but parents brought home dinner from C&J’s barbeque): Made side dish of homemade mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and peas and carrots. I think the best thing was the mushroom gravy. Baked the chicken for about 55 minutes, about the right […]
Started prepping dinner for tomorrow: Made the “marinade” and gashed the chicken, stirred it together and let it sit overnight. Added around 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper. I find that chef John’s recipes are a little ambiguous on the salt department. The recipes that I make following his directions are typically […]
Made Arroz con Pollo today based on foodwishes recipe: http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2009/12/this-arroz-con-pollo-recipe-chicken-and.html My major modifications were using 5 chicken thighs instead of a whole chicken, leaving out capers, and putting in a whole can of tomato paste (didn’t want to waste it). I used the thighs only because they were on sale, and I used 5 because […]
Attempting to make a meal plan for the week. Made a pretty one in Excel, but it doesn’t transfer well into WordPress, and my Dreamhost installation is not very configurable. This will do for now. To be amended. Wondering if I can make a meal schedule that will work with my work/exercise schedule… 19-Feb-12 20-Feb-12 […]
First post again in a long time. Started to cook again regularly this semester because I have time to. Going to use this blog to document the food and recipes that I use — nothing too fancy lest it become burdensome. I’m thinking a link to the recipe at minimum, maybe a picture of the […]

Coming soon=Now 😀 Mkay, so like a month ago, Isaac brought home a stray bag of White Wings Flour Tortilla mix, which, is basically flour with some other good stuff mixed into it to make it taste tortilla-y. (Said mix can be bought here.) He got it at our local HEB for a couple bucks, […]
Tacos. I’ve spent the last month, with the help of Grace, trying to learn how to make my own tacos. We’ve learned how to make tortillas, mexican rice, refried beans, and taco-style meat, all from scratch. And not only are they tasty, it’s really cost effective, and doesn’t take too much time. Sometime, when we […]
