COLD AFTERNOON....EARLY 'ONE BOWL' DINNER......ANOTHER 'TAKE' ON BRUNSWICK STEW......
Spicy enough to iniate some copius nasal drip and subsequent sinus clearing...palliated by some shredded cabbage, carrots, scallion bulbs, misted with white Prelibato white vinegar, then drizzled with coriander and mint chutneys.......An umpteenth, not-so-classic, beanless CHILI, I reckon.....
"CHICKEN CHALLENGE", this afternoon...... Sorry, Henny Penny, but... it wasn't a Skyfall.....just a sharpened butcher's cleaver....."Ducky" was "Lucky" and too costly for this experiment in thrify cooking.....
Pan-cooking a $5 package of fresh chicken breasts......enough to feed five or six adult humans......a highly spiced/seasoned portion of bird flesh for a buck a person......for 8% of the menu price at most local, waiting-line, dine-in feeding holes in Atlanta.......The foul was accompanied by pan-cooked red skin potatoes, cooked in the same pan, with dried rosemary and additional olive oil, sea salt and ground peppers......and some cole slaw of red, green and purple cabbage, carrots, mayonaisse, celery seeds and white balsamic vinegar........Total Production Cost of ingredients was less than $10~..... . a 'next day' leftovers $4/serving lunch....with raw chopped cabbage, hashed browns and sweet & savory "wake the dead" Fly By Jing 'Extra Spicy Chili Crisp Sauce

choosing between some fresh chicken livers, rolled in yellow corn meal, crushed rosemary & corn starch, then fried....crispy........lost to a more puerile indulgence.....last evening.......the 'liver' is 'on' for brunch, tomorrow.....sorry about that Marie Antoinette.........what do you mean by ....'I imagined that you'd be serving pheasant with prunes over saffron basmanti....Incidentally, I forgot that I had made other plans for brunch, tomorrow....' How about a maple syrup dip for the 'livers'?, or spicy barbequed quail breast...on a light, crispy Belgian waffle....drizzled with maple syrup...or sourwood toast points, aesthetically smeared with a sweet mango/blackberry chutney, perhaps...to be eaten with one of Sergie Rachmaninov's fancy Art Nouveau forks, Your Majesty ?.....No?..Well, I'll reckon that I'll just have some doves eggs custard with sponge bundt cake, soaked ...
