Thanks, I was amazed at how simple it is, despite the careful steps involved. I've decided it all comes down to paying attention to the recipe. I think I'm brave enough to tinker with some recipes now, add a little of this or that, heh heh.
By the way, I was going to ask you about the coffee brined drumsticks. Never heard of that. How did you cook them? Sounds interesting.
Super easy. Make a brining solution of 2 C water, 2 C coffee, 1/4 C kosher salt, 3T sugar, 1/2 t red pepper flakes, 2 T chili powder, 3 crushed cloves garlic, and a cinnamon stick. Pour over 8 chicken drums, either in a bag or in a bowl and weigh them down with a plate (to keep them immersed). Let the drumsticks marinate for at least 2 hours--I like overnight best. Arrange on a baking sheet (discard brine) and cook on broil for 10 mins. Turn, then cook 10 mins longer. Turn the oven down to 350 and continue to bake for 10 mins (15 more, if the legs are thick). Done!

Yum - mayo is good - I even like it with fried eggs - Ms. Mod Moderator has mayo with her fries! :drool:
I was thinking about this recently too!! I love fake mayo and ketchup with fries. :love:

Had to use up the very last of the garden tomatoes, so I made a homemade fresh spinach lasagna tonight. It was a big hit last time, so hoping this one is just as good. What a process though - not to mention all the dirty dishes! ;-D

The other night I made egg salad (boiled eggs, mayo, that's it) on almost burnt toast. Potato chips. Good combo. Plain, simple.
I think you need more fibre! (Veggies, fruits, bran, maybe some oatmeal?) Of course, I shouldn't talk - I have been eating all that healthy lately either :flat:
