I don't understand. Remains of a cocktail? The only cocktail remains I am aquainted with are empty glasses and I tend to avoid them for breakfast.

 

In general, we are in agreement here.  I treated myself to a Réveillon cocktail last night.  I enjoyed it so much that I decided to mix up another to use in the eggnog popsicles. There were a few ml left after I'd added the max alcohol for freezing so I set it aside.  By morning, the cinnamon stick had absorbed what little had been left in the glass so I made the best of the situation and used it to make my coffee look and taste a bit festive!

I had cut up a whole chicken Monday, and used one of the breasts. Presalted the legs and the other breast.

I was planning on roasting them for dinner tonight but instead I cut the breast into two pieces and separated the leg and thigh and made fried chicken for breakfast.

Fried in a cast iron skillet, oil at 360°F. to Internal temperature of 165°. Drained on paper towels and put on a rack in a low oven to stay warm while the remaining pieces and the vegetables cooked.

 

Best reason to make fried chicken is for the cream gravy. Seasoned with lots of black pepper and rubbed sage.

 Salad.  It’s not just for dinner.

 

With a nod of thanks for the inspiration to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

got a jump on shoveling the 2" plus we got here overnight.  not going out for my morning meeting as I have to uncover my car yet.   starving so just got the coffee going, the leftover potato wedges are cut up and ready to go into a pan but more importantly diced onion and some Mary Kitchen corned beef hash is slowly working a crust and eggs are ready to hard scramble.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

I should not have looked at this page as I am sitting at Children's Hospital with the grandchild, who is awaiting a procedure. As he can't eat, I haven't either. And we're about to ALL be hungry.

Moe had one of the apple dumplings  very early this morning with his cappuccino.  

 

So, he wasn't overly hungry for a big breakfast later.   Just wanted toasted baguette.

Oh your deviled eggs look so good and you even piped in the filling.

(Chris, we gotta get those pumpkins off the table xD)

These are sugar pumpkins, and may end up being stuffed and eaten, But I do appreciate your guidance in decorum, @Shelby:P You won't see them again. As for the deviled eggs, Deb's truck shop Christmas luncheon is coming up next week and I just wanted to be sure I had the mixture tasting right. So a little practice run was in order.

Paint the pumpkins red and green and carve them into sleighs.

I woke up hungry, so I made myself a Dutch baby pancake with bacon and cheese,  and had it with apple butter.

I really enjoy cooking dinner in the morning. Lots of time to cook when you wake up between  3:00 AM and 4:00 AM and don't have to leave for work until 9:30.

 

I had planned on making this for dinner Friday night,  but wasn't really hungry and Moe was happy with a glass of wine and some cheese and baguette. So.........

I made it for breakfast Saturday.

Chicken Breasts Perigord. An old favourite. I've been making this recipe for almost 30 years. It is a Lucy Waverman recipe from her 1989 Seasonal Canadian Cookbook.

A mushroom Duxelle is stuffed under the skin.

Served with Stuffed Zucchini Tambourines and fried potato balls. Fried them instead of making Potato Parisienne the traditional way.
