It’s official - I am a jerk … aficionado! OK, maybe I can be a bit of jerk now and then too, but let he who is without jerkiness throw the first stone. This salt-free mix from Penzey’s has converted me:

Although I’ve always enjoyed jerk chicken, I never really wanted to try to make it. Now the dish is in my weekly rotation. Marinate boneless chicken thighs overnight in a mix of a liberal dose of the powder with salt and sugar to taste. 30 minutes at 350 and viola! The recipe from Penzey’s says to use a little lemon juice but I have found that I prefer a can of crushed pineapple. This way I can boil down the marinade to make a sauce.

I wanted to post a pic of last night’s chicken but my son came home hungry at 2 am and ate all six remaining pieces!

I have used Penzey’s in the past, good stuff.
This is Causa, riced potato with aji amarillo filled with shrimp salad.


This whole loaf garlic bread was served at a recent dinner. Didn’t have any as I had already had my fill of bread for the day, but it looked real tasty. Different bread than the usual. Could have used a bit more time in the oven IMO.

Given Mrs. P’s skills in repurposing some of your leftovers, I think she would do extraordinarily well on a home cook’s version of Chopped!

Thanks @heidicooksandbakes :slightly_smiling_face: The only problem is that she is not good with time management :slightly_smiling_face: She likes to take her time and make sure everything is perfect :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, the green casserole cookware was filled with escargot in a garlicky mornay sauce. It was delicious.

Was looking for a side vegetable in Shoprite when I came across these. A lot of different bags with various varieties of chiles. Picked up these Anaheims but they didn’t quite satisfy my Hatch craving. Still a nice new product line to check out and reasonably priced.
