I think my mother would add a little vinegar to canned tomatoes.
I've got a 14 cup Cuisinart, I may try this with some freshly ground whole meal flour. I normally do free-form loaves, but I think this one might work better in a loaf pan as it provides some support.
We had tacos tonight.
Browsers used to be pretty easy-going but some of them have started to get a bit paranoid, bordering on obnoxious, about security issues that may or may not be important on some sites.
I don't see any reason to use https, and it costs money to buy a certificate, generally $100 or more a year.
Maybe you should throw an infrared thermometer into your travel kit. 🙂
I'm making the Swiss Steak recipe today, smells good.
If you don't remove the breast bone when you spatchcock a bird, you should at least crack it so the bird lays flatter.
I haven't cooked stuffing inside a bird in years. I will stuff a goose with a mixture of apples, lemons, brandied prunes and almonds (as recommended by James Beard), and I've done that with turkey and chicken as well, but that's to flavor the meat and the juices, not to eat.
I've deboned a chicken a few times, then stuffed it, but that doesn't really count, since it cooks much faster without the bones. It's also kind of fun to be able to just cut off a slice of chicken and dressing at the table. Some years ago I made a turducken by deboning both a chicken and a duck and partially deboning a turkey, that was a lot of work, especially the duck. Duck bones are large and long.
The chef who taught the course I took on deboning a chicken said that he used to have to debone Cornish game hens, he got to the point where he could do them in about 2-3 minutes each.
I made a batch of banana nut mini-muffins last night.
I'm not sure what the point to air-drying the chicken for that long is, and it does appear to be optional. Personally, I think the juices in a bird are part of what makes the broth so flavorful.
My son likes to spatchcock a turkey, he says it cuts the cooking time at least in half, which means the meat is more evenly cooked.
While we wait to see if we actually get any snow tonight (the original forecast was 3-5 inches, it's been downgraded more than once already; we're getting some freezing mist but I don't think it's actually snowing yet), we had spaghetti and cheese toast for supper.
I'm baking Vienna bread tonight.
We're both recovering from colds, so we had chicken soup.
This is what I do for pulled pork using pork shoulder in a slow cooker, but it should work in the oven as well.
Put the pork shoulder in a pot that isn't too much bigger than it is. Add a half cup of Worcestershire and then fill the pan with apple juice until the shoulder is fully covered. Cook (probably at 350) until falling-apart tender.
