What is for dinner? (May5 09)

[chubbyalaskagriz]

Tonight it's Gil's Half-Chicken Night at a l'il dive/tavern near my Dad's farm-town, that sits literally smack-dab in the middle of a corn field! We get a half fried chicken cole slaw, potato salad, rolls & butter and a trip to the soft-serve sundae bar for $4.25!

Tonight I'm doing striped penangeus fillets with broccoli, orange and olives

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

Tonight we had a whole chicken I roasted in the crock pot, broccoli, and mashed potatoes! The chicken was seasoned to a "T" and delicious, tender and plenty left over for another dish after I deboned it! I might add I snuck my secret ingredient in the cavity along with all my regular spices, it was some ras-el-hanout seasoning, what an exceptional flavor it imparted to the chicken meat. I jus loved the special taste it gave the meat and you could not quite put your finger on what the splendid taste was! Except of-course I knew what it was

ras-el-hanout is a fabulous spice blend I bet it was tasty.

"in the cavity along with all my regular spices, it was some ras-el-hanout seasoning"

Cathy, next time try rubbing the ras el hanout under the skin. Yeah, I know it's a PITA technique. But you won't believe the difference it makes.

Also, while I recognize that a crockpot is essentially a machine for braising, I wonder if there's be a taste difference if you made the same recipe in your tagine?

I don't yet know what I'm having for supper tonight (Thurs. 05/14), but I've got a twice-a-year CRAVING for breakfast that I aim to feed when I get home from my graveyard shift in a couple hours! Corned Beef Hash and a set of over-hard eggs, w/ buttered rye toast, w/ sour-grape jelly. MMM...
