Picked up 8 chicken thighs today.   They were seasoned with salt and thyme and are in the bath at the moment at 150f.  

 

The extra skin was cleaned and seasoned then placed between two sheet pans at 350f till brown and crisp.  They really shrunk up

This looks amazing.  I'm a sucker for fried wings and tater tots

Andouille meatloaf!  Nice!  I assume you ground up the andouille yourself...what ratio to beef did you use?  I want to make this but it would be with ground venison...

And now the meal.  I pulled two thighs from the bath after 3 hours.  They really need more time but they were ok.  The rest will go for several more hours and will get pulled before turning in for the night 

 

Served with vegetables done ala Chef Michael Voltaggio

@Shelby  I diced the andouille and mixed in the little chunks.  I guess half a cup in 1 costco ground beef lump...1.3 lbs I'm guessing?  I'd put in a little more next time.

Oh NICE --so you get a nice bite of the andouille.  Going to try this for sure.

Shirred (duck) egg in stewed tomatoes from Deep Run Roots. Instead of country ham chips, I crisped a few slices of serrano ham in the oven. Used remaining ham to saute with green beans for a side.

Daughter requested, since I had the ham out, a "homemade Egg McMuffin." Mickey D's can't touch this:

Burger night.

Many, many years ago when I was young, fresh out of college and impressionable I spent 2 years in Teacher Corps in Vermont. Another intern, some what older, became a friend and a cooking guru. After college, she had spent some years in France teaching English and had attended a course at Cordon Bleu. I took anything she said about food as Gospel. And one thing she believed was that hamburgers are best served on English muffins. And today, with much more cooking and food experience, I still think she was right. (This was 1970. I have a vivid memory of helping her prepare a beef Wellington for a visit from her parents. It was magnificent - all decorated with pastry leaves, The one and only time I have ever actually seen that done. On the other end of the spectrum, when I had a horrendous stomach bug she made me the most delicious chicken broth I have ever had. I make good chicken broth but it doesn't match my memory of hers.)

Would you be willing to share your meatball recipe, or if you already have, point me towards it?

Sure. Here is a link to the recipe I used:  http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/pressure_cooker_porcupine_meatballs/

 

I did make a couple of changes. I rinsed and soaked my rice for about 15 minutes and used broth instead of water.

You shouldn't do that to people.  I just assumed folks in Texas made meatballs with porcupines.  Seriously.

That's just wrong.

 

They use armadillos, of course

Tonight, corn on the cob a la @nathanm -- 30 minutes, 60 deg C.  With not much more than melted butter, Soave, salt, and a good face wash.

Tried a little experiment last night......zoodle greek salad.  I spiralized a zucchini, salted it, and let it rest for a few hours to get as much liquid out as possible.  I made a dressing--more Italian than Greek, I suppose, but it still worked.  I was out of kalamata olives so I used just plain ole black ones.  I liked this.....Ronnie didn't really care for it, but he's not really a fan of pasta salads anyway.

BBQ'd lamb chops with Middle Eastern spices, grilled zucchini and deep fried newly dug potatoes and some cucumber/yogurt sauce (and ketchup for the potatoes).

Went to Poplar Grove Winery in Penticton for their Canada Dinner.  Each course paired with one or two wines.  We started eating at 7:30 pm and finished at 12:30!  Fireworks were at 10 pm.  A perfect evening and chef Bruno out did himself once again (Vanilla Pod Restaurant chef).

The lobster mash was a little off the wall:  mashed potatoes with chunks of lobster mixed in.  It was a little on the dry side...could have used more butter IMHO.

Some years ago I was served this under a different name at the Hotel du Pont, Wilmington Delaware.  The mashed potato and lobster dish was memorable.  I don't recall other details of the meal...other than that a law firm was paying for it.
