We got the Horseman of Conquest invoking the pestilence thing now, so I've decided to start prepping for the famine thing before we get the war and death thing. Just easier to carry some stored calories under the skin and save room in the backpack for extra munitions.

We also have heirloom Fiestaware dutch oven just like this for those times when the cast iron one isn't optimal. Sweetie-pie picked it up from a Goodwill back in the 80s...bet you could find a few in some thriftstores in, oh, Salt Lake City:View attachment 91889

May have to throw another batch of this napa cabbage kim chee together. Used gochujang paste this time vs. dried and the added liquid was noticable. Leave in garage, check after 3-4 days to loosen lids/release gas, then few checks of every couple days, then fridge if you want to slow ferment. Eat fresh or ferment longer to taste. Also can kim chee other cabbages, cucumbers, onion.

Potstickers take 2. Pork, cabbage, onion, garlic, ginger, smoked chili powder blend, salt. Bought the wrappers this time. Still a little work getting them all made up but much quicker than doing it all from scratch. Really happy with how they came out. I opted to do them in the pan, brown in olive oil on both sides then add a splash of water and cover with lid, let them steam for a few min to make sure pork is well cooked. 20200530_205741.jpg
Also did short ribs in the instant pot a few days back. Basted with bbq sauce and finished under the broiler. Probably could have given them more of a char but I was hungry and impatient. This method is so easy compared to manning the Traeger all day. Going to try baby back ribs next to see how they stack up.20200528_211638.jpg

I made fried chicken for the first time the other night. Turned out tasty. Some of it was slightly overcooked on the outside, but super moist and tasty.

like deep fried? i've tried to get away with minimal oil but it's not the same. on the other hand, i just can't bring myself to throw something into a pot of oil.... have lived in the South too long, scorned Southern cuisine with my snotty northeast cultural elitism - can't bring myself to deep fry in my own kitchen and will therefore probably never produce decent fried chicken. but damn it's good.

My neighbor keeps telling me about an "air fryer"? I haven't looked into it. He says it uses way less oil. I love fried food, especially chicken and fish but it makes me feel terrible so I rarely eat it.

Yeah. I used a cast-iron dutch oven. I tripped out at how much oil I needed. I considered using the skillet but decided against the mess and opted for the taller sides.

I don't know how regularly I could bring myself to do it

It's funny I'm happy to eat deep fried food in a restaurant but there's something about doing it myself that grosses me out when the oil is that deep. Total double standard.

Tough to get the DEEP fry going at home for me because of the amount of oil. I'll use a more narrow pot, fry small batches to cut down on wasted oil. Have strained it and reused next day.

Loves to fry me some karaage chicken, donuts/malasadas, onion rings sometimes. #fatass
