I always add 2 teaspoons of cumin and one of homemade chili powder to my refried beans.

That was surprisingly painless.

It is most definitely lean and tough. But if I made them with commercial chicken I’d probably still mince because it just makes a higher quality toothiness in that small package.

We stopped by Tractor Supply today but they were out of chicks. We will probably end up with a rooster this year but it will be a year or two before he becomes a menace to society.

Mistakes happen. Especially when things are tasty.

Not near enough like real meat but real enough to be just as bad as regular Burger King beef.

I tend to avoid both faux and pseudo meat. I did try an impossible Whopper. It was so much like the real thing that it just proved to me how bad the regular Whopper meat is.

I keep them around until my wife decides she is tired of getting attacked. We try not to get them but occasionally they show up when we get new chicks. We over stocked a few years ago and this will be our first year of chicks after that break so we will probably find at least one.

Here is the filling.
1 lb ground or minced chicken.
3 cups shredded cabbage.
2 tablespoon soy sauce.
2 tablespoon sesame oil.
2 tablespoon sake.
1 Tablespoon garlic powder.
1 Tablespoon onion powder.

For rooster I definitely recommend taking the time and a sharp knife to mince. The texture is so much better than ground.

Take that oatmeal cookie recipe and leave out the cinnamon and optional nuts or fruit. Add 2 teaspoons of fresh ground star anise.

There is a vegetarian trying to cause trouble. It might have been them.

I have found that chicken dumplings are the best use for when I have a rooster that needs to graduate to freezer camp. I freeze the dumplings and get quick meals that can be steamed, pan or deep fried for quick meals.

Tomatoes, peppers, onions, oregano, pork. They all work in both kitchens.

Done.

I grew up in an Italian kitchen but in a largely Hispanic population. I can ragu and Bolognese, make mozzarella andy own pasta but I’m way more likely to make tortillas and a roja sauce if I listen to my cravings.

Figured it was time.

No beef

Exactly. It’s a self limiting process.

Chips are too expensive to buy but easy to make at home. And it stops you from eating a whole bag.

We go with the evidence we have, not the evidence we want.

My body is very j resistant and when it does work it usually results in sleep instead of productivity. I’m an ethanol powered meat suit.

I used to make a lot of beer and wine but never messed with distilling.
