How do you like the book overall?
I just got it a few days ago and this is the first recipe I’ve made from it, and it turned out pretty well. So far so good! I do enjoy their youtube videos.

Maybe sprinkle with Badia adobo or seasoned salt, or maybe onion powder, garlic, paprika, and black pepper?

Agree, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt on the onion rings.

This stuff is totally underrated.
Used properly and judiciously it can make even styrofoam taste good.

I feel this way about TJ’s umami powder. Except for its red pepper flake.
@ChristinaM and @Phoenikia thanks for the suggestions, but the batter is so dry I couldn’t get salt or cajun seasoning to stick. I could try frying them next time and then season or maybe season before I bake.
Not exactly sure what I’m making but most likely some type of soup. Before selling our house and moving, I had cleared the freezers of all saved chicken bones and made a bunch of stock. The freezer compartment in the condo is pretty small and loaded to the gills.

Make sure to salt them well when they come out of the oven. But a dip is probably the way to go. 1:1 ketchup and mayo or sour cream and then black pepper and prepared horseradish to taste.
BBQ sauce as a dip is also not the worst idea here.

I would just sprinkle to season while hot out of oven or frier, like one would with fries.
I suppose another option would be to dip in or drizzle with aioli if that’s up your alley. Onion Rings Bravas?
Last night’s “Halftime” dinner was a “throw together” meal. Bacon was on sale this week, so I fried and chopped up a pound of bacon (prior to the game). I served up a Bacon & Pea pasta with olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Sunshine told me it was really good, I told her “Bacon on anything is good”.

The combo of salty bacon (or pancetta, or ham) and sweet peas is such a winner with pasta, and orecchiette are my favorite shape for this dish. I also often add a touch of cream to the sauce & fresh oregano. Yours looks lovely.

Thank you… Yes, I was thinking about a “cream” component when I was planning this dish. I thought about cream of mushroom soup, but your idea is much better.
I’ll try it next time…
I did, it wouldn’t adhere. I’m going to fry next time, frying makes everything better. I’ll have a dip as backup.

Took one of my developer teams out for lunch and came home with a decent portion of shoestrings fries. So dinner was those fries pan seared with cremini mushrooms and left over roasted Brussel sprouts. Much tastier than the description suggests.
Just me tonight.
