Dinner at CCSP last night - Braised short ribs with a wine sauce over mashed potatoes with green beans and mushrooms.  For $12.99.  Plus a slice of cheesecake with bananas foster sauce for another $5.99.  Sam's Winter too.

I made some crab cakes tonight, and steamed some clams.  Pretty good.

Hopefully a cut above what McDonalds passes off as being boneless ribs.

I think I would want to see the bones, if for no other reason than to establish authenticity.

found a can of cream of chicken soup in the cupboard last night and quickly googled for recipes.  Made this and it really turned out good:

1 can of cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup of uncooked white rice
1 cup of salsa
1 tsp of paprika
1 package of chicken breasts

mix everything but the chicken, put in a baking dish, lay the breasts on top, cover and bake 45 min @ 375 degrees.

I served with hot sauce and war tortillas.  The kids even ate it.

How did the chicken turn out? Usually we take the skin off, I think it maximizes the meat intake of the jerk.

Yeah I left it on (posted in the weight loss thread).  It still seems to have a pretty good taste.  I'll have to take the skin off if I make it again.  Got 4 more breasts in the freezer.  They are huge though, like 4.5 pounds for 4 breasts.  So 9 pounds of chicken for $11, pretty sweet.

You can bring the chicken to room temp before cooking that'll help with increasing flavor. Just put the plastic bag into a pot of hot water for 15 minutes.

Or an easier way is to let it sit at room temp for 15 minutes before cooking. That will also help with tenderness. Cold meat introduced to heat right away gets tough.

same trick works for beef - it should always been allowed to warm up a bit at room temperature (and dry) when you cook it.

Huzzah!! I won the chili cook off at work! I think it was more a matter of the lack of submissions, but I'll take it. $20 gift card for Dairy Queen, what fat kid doesn't need that?

Weis has been going crazy with the bogo meat sales on big packs.  5 thick pork tenderloin cutlets, a medium sized roast, and a slab of country style "ribs" (how is it ribs when there's no bones?) for about $30, plus a second pack free.  So $15 for each pack basically.

recipe?

None... I used beef tips sauteed in olive oil, Montreal Seasoning and a bit of garlic salt/pepper; 1 hot kielbasa, approximately 2lbs of ground beef, various hot peppers including jalapenos and others whose names I'm unaware of, hot pepper flake, garlic salt, cumin, cilantro, salt, pepper, two large cans of kidney beans, 2 cans of diced tomatoes, one can of mushrooms, diced green peppers and onions.

The beef tips and ground beef was added to the crock pot once they were cooked and everything then cooked in the crock pot for about 3 hours before eating. I didn't even decide to enter the contest until about 10am the day of the contest. Normally I prefer to let my chili cook in the crock pot for at least 4 hours before eating. I also couldn't find any habaneros which was quite disappointing. As far as seasonings go, I just keep adding until it tastes right, no true method to the madness.
