Thanks for posting the results in any case. I eye-balled the recipe after you mentioned it, but based on your experience, I think I’ll pass.

Halal food-cart style grilled chicken kebabs. Served with homemade pita, chopped veg, and a tangy yogurt-mayo white sauce. Not shown was a drizzle of sriracha over everything. Just plain yum.

We enjoyed another sensational dinner at The Farmer’s Daughter in Newton, NJ, including truffled porcini mushroom ravioli with grilled shrimp; calamari with an apricot glaze; eggplant and mushroom stack with teriyaki styled mushrooms; rack of lamb; seared rainbow trout with maple orange miso glaze, grilled asparagus, and scalloped potatoes. It all went great with our favorite red blend and an excellent cabernet.

I had a long day, and on my way home decided soy sauce chicken would be easy, hands-off, and make a dent in the pile of chicken I had bought for that Spanish potluck.
So of course I got home and started cooking biryani??? 
Still, not complete insanity. I didn’t make my mom’s biryani, but my friend’s mom’s, which is much easier (and what my own family would call a pulao). This was a green masala biryani (or “white” – because there’s no tomato), and I used pre-ground green masala so it was actually pretty easy relative to the full shebang.
Required accompaniment was plenty of papad. Very delicious despite the late evening madness.
Oh, and chicken skin crisps. (And now I have schmaltz for matzoh balls, so timely.)

Tonight’s dinner was Mayo-Cheddar Cheese Chicken Thighs. When Sunshine saw me come home with those “bargain” boneless thighs (on Friday), she asked me to make this dish, again. I had Neighbor #2 taste the chicken when I delivered it and she liked it, as well. I needed an easy meal tonight, as I had done some exterior painting today and didn’t have the energy for anything too involved. Sides were Rice-a-Roni and peas.

Could you share again how you prepare the thighs? I have a lot of them, and a whole jar of homemade garlic mayo!

Sure… It’s really simple.
In a small bowl, put 2-3 Tablespoons of mayonnaise, a teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and mix together. (this is for one thigh, multiply ingredients based on number of thighs you are making).
Then I trim any excess fat off of the chicken thighs and score them lightly. I line a baking sheet with foil, spray a little non-stick spray on the foil, place the the thighs on the baking sheet, scored side up, sprinkle with a little salt (optional), and slather on the mayo-cheddar mixture with a spoon.
Into the oven at 400(F) for 20-25 minutes (depending on your oven), pull them when the internal temp hits 165(F).
Since you are using garlic mayo, you might want to skip the added garlic powder.

I had planned on having fettuccine with portobello mushrooms and spinach for dinner last night however I ended up using the remaining spinach in the cream of spinach soup I made for dinner on Friday night. Then when I was cleaning out the fridge yesterday I found out that the last few baby bellas that were left in the fridge had shriveled up to tiny rock hard pellets that I ended pitching. I could have made a pasta sauce from scratch but after hosing down the inside of the fridge and freezer then washing a few loads of laundry (winter clothes that have to be washed then put away) I was glad to find some roasted peppers and tomatoes that I had put up in the freezer to serve over angel hair pasta so that’s what was for dinner last night.

After visiting my mother’s gravesite for the first time (she passed away in 2009) with my sister, she took me to the Sundance Grill inside the Silverton Casino, a somewhat local joint. We had another very late lunch/very early dinner (about a 1/4 past 3:00). The menu was quite extensive which almost always makes it difficult for me to decide on what to order. It was a final toss up between the Cobb salad and what I ended up ordering, corned beef hash, eggs in the style of your choice and hash browns with a cup of decaf coffee.
I made sure to order the corned beef “extra crispy”, but because I hadn’t noticed that it came with hash browns, didn’t order those extra crispy as well.
The corned beef hash (something I had really missed in Japan) was as ordered and good. The scrambled eggs were fine but the hash browns were oily and if you ask me, undercooked. The coffee, listed as “Seattle’s Best” was quite bad. The first cup came out at room temperature at best and I sent it back for a hot cup. That was soon brought to the table. but it was so weak and quite flavorless. Yes, I know that decaf is often both of those things, but I’d just had quite good decaf at another casino’s cafe the day before and in addition, I can’t drink regular coffee after 12 noon and was in the mood for coffee as I had ordered a breakfast-type dish. If I get dragged to this casino again (VERY likely), I’ll try the Cobb salad.
Getting along with my sister is not at all easy and she excels at trying my patience. But I do my best and try various methods of sloughing off the stress that comes with dealing with her.

Yeah. We have one cutlet left, and I’m not sure I’ll have that. Just too salty for me, and I’m a salt fiend - so that’s saying something. I removed it from my recipe box. Now I only have 479 recipes saved

Ah, family. Can’t live with 'em, can’t shoot 'em. Or shouldn’t, at least

I do my best to help her any way I can and I do 99% of the things she asks me to. But there’s so much that she truly needs me to do but won’t let me. It’s very frustrating and even sad. It’s not that she prefers to do them herself…she just thinks they don’t need to be done or she comes up with excuses why they don’t need to be done.
This’ll be the last such comment on here for a while because I fully know that HO isn’t a sounding board for such frustrations. But I do thank those who put up with me here.
