Are you going to make a crispy chicken skin and cheddar quiche?

Are you going to make crispy chicken skin wrapped scallops?

Are you going to make a crispy chicken skin lettuce and tomato sandwich?

I rest my case.
actually the last one was part of the trend specifically.

and if you have to wrap scallops you are buying shitty scallops. No way I would desecrate nice u8's with another protein of any kind

I would totally try crispy chicken skin wrapped anything.

Making carnitas today using that recipe Tea linked a while back with some avocado tomatillo salsa. I think the appropriate word is "stoked".

All of these sound totally fucking awesome and I would do it in a heartbeat over bacon.

GO AHEAD AND NEG ME!

Carnitas supplemental report: ugggghhhh

That recipe called for about 3 lbs of pork. I had trouble getting a pork shoulder for it, everywhere was sold out, so I snatched up the first one I found, and it was almost 8 lbs. So I made 2 huge dishes of it, and I have soooo much carnitas. I guess I'm going to try freezing some of it and see how that works.

In addition, I made probably the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had tonight.

2 1/8 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter

Made in the usual way. Just a slight variation on how I normally do them but it tasted much, much better.

Jesus Christ, 8 lbs? Was it bone in? Sounds here bone in goes from 4-10 lbs. while boneless goes from 2-4 lbs.

Yeah bone in, but there wasn't a lot of bone. I'd be shocked if it was a full pound of bone.

Fuck 8lbs is massive. I just bought a 3.25lb shoulder for making Carnitas this week. I can't imagine that much meat haha

It is seriously so much fucking carnitas. It took me an hour to break it down. But if I can fit it in my freezer, I will have carnitas FOR-FUCKING-EVER.

To buy list in February: deep freeze.

I made fried rice and pot stickers tonight. Everytime I make wontons I am perplexed as to why I don't make them all the fucking time. God damn they are good.

In my experience, to get the most out of a freezer, get an upright. The chest freezers are superior in efficiency, but they have a larger footprint, and food tends to get buried and lost to time. An upright makes for easier organization.

Congrats on the carnitas! Aye Carumba that's a lotta pork, enjoy.
