I had a preemptive 1 hour PT sesh today bc tomorrow (haircut) & Wed (molar extraction 
) are out for me. My PT thinks I may need shoulder surgery before my collarbone detaches itself from my scapula entirely — unfortunately it’s not something that strength training alone can fix. Obviously, I’ll try to see an orthopedic doctor for a second opinion, which likely means a new MRI. So glad to continue throwing money at doctors 
!
Dinner was this curious SE recipe for Southern “fried” chicken:
I was intrigued by the buttermilk-pickle brine marinade, although I used peperoncini brine instead. As with most “fool-proof” recipes I’ve tried, it wasn’t. It was also hella more effort than I usually invest in crispy, juicy chicken thighs, and I don’t really need crispy batter as long as the skin gets nice n crispy…. which it didn’t 
The breading was flavorful enough, but I won’t be making this again. In any event, I mostly made this to put that delish hot sauce on it 
Side was buttered corn with parsley & smoked hot peppers from a friend, plus a simple salad of romaine, tomatoes, radishes, red peppers, avocado, in a buttermilk ranch dressing.
By the by, have we done a “cooking from SE” thread here? Nothing comes up for me, but I only did a very superficial search.
