So, I just got done fryin' up some batter dipped pork chops :yum: :fat: .

And I was wonderin if yous soak your meat in Texas Pete the night before frying, or if its just around these parts.

I don't feel good.

You love to cook don't you? I don't eat too much fried stuff, but when I was little my mom used to fix almost everything that way. My arteries are probably hard as a rock. She never soaked the pork in Texas Pete, but my grandmother who made the best fried chicken ever used to soak the chicken in water all day before frying. I don't know what spice she used, but it was so damn good. Better than that KFC shit. She's gone now, so I can't ask her what she did.

Fresh herbs are a must and easy to grow - even if you live in the city do a window box

Branch out and try all sorts of different cooking oils - I like coconut and flax oil

Yes organic farm fresh brown eggs do have more flavor

Try making your own Jam or Jelly it's easy and fun

thank you and have a nice day

My biggest kitchen drama is cooking for 2 different set's of people! My husband, myself and our son (24) love to try new and interesting healthy, non-greasy, organic kinda stuff. My 3 girls, could live on fish sticks and chicken nuggets if they had too. I hate cooking 2 menu's! And if I cook just one, my girls will whine till the cows come home. carry-on.

I don't fry much either, but I LOVE some good fried chicken Mashed Potatoes, Country Gravy, Buscuits and Corn on the cob every other week or so.

These are my two fave spices to put in.

Either : GOYA ADOBO or TONY CACHERES SPICES N HERBS.

YUM!

I like Peanut Oil.


I use Brown eggs too!!! But I don't think they're organic...I'll try.

And I REALLY DO wanna try making jelly.

Maybe this winter, I'll make a bunch as Christmas gifts.

Every time I see my mom, which is only about twice a year. She makes my favorite childhood dinner. Fried pork tenderloin, Rice with home made gravy, and green beans. MMMMM.

It's a good thing I only eat it twice a year, because it is sooooo bad for you.

Every time I type a response to your posts I get almost all the way through and realized I haven't written in paragraphs. Then I go back and separate it out.

hokie1 said:

HAHAH!

Yeah.

I really DON'T read the ungapped posts.

Thanks!

OOOpppsss!! My post was stuck in Dani's! sorry!

My Mom, god bless her soul. Was the worst about frying everthing! She use to batter cauliflower, and deep fry it!! She's serve on the side of whatever fried meat she was giving us for dinner.

Are you just trying to sell some of that Pampered Chef shit???

roodboi said:

I'm going to make desserts and sell them, and its going to be called

DEATH BY DESSERTS, and its gonna have a picture of a dagger going into a strawberry and chocolate squirting out!!!!!

TotalANXiousNESS said:

I hear ya. I feel like I'm making a buffet every night. My wife and I will eat one thing and maybe one of the kids, then the other two will have to eat something else since they won't eat what we're having.

It was much easier to prepare meals before the kids came along.

JediTodd said:

Well, I have a rule about all that too, since my kids are picky eater, and I ain't runnin a short order kitchen.

You eat what I made, or ya get PB & J.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Great idea But I'm not sure about the name lol.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

The reason I do not do that is, when I was growing up..my Mom made us eat what was on the table or cereal. I always hated that hated that with a vegence, I felt deprived... poor little me, even. one step away from little orphan friggen annie. So, I promised myself as a kid to never do that.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

good lord, I can understand where you are coming from...for the most part, hubby and I and my 2 children basically eat all the same things, (cept Hamp, he hasn't learned to appreciate veggies..just yet, some, but not all)..but then the weekends that we have hubbys kids, good grief, one has decided to be vegetarian, the others, either wont eat onions, won't eat spaghetti sauce cause it has onions in it, won't eat tomatoes, won't eat this and that, we finally had to say "ya know what, if you don't want what we're having, fix yourself a sandwich or something" I cannot ( am not) fix 3-4 different meals constantly...I would never get out of the kitchen...Thank goodness for easy mac and pizza rolls...I know that sounds bad, and it's not nutritious, but wth??

PaisleyPark5083 said:

..yeah, we went through that too..had to eat everything on our plate, or do without...there wasn't anything else that was an option..eat it or else..and I promised myself that if there were certain things my kids just did not like
I wouldn't force them to eat it, and I won't, but I'll give them the option of either having more of something they do like, or they can pick out things they don't ( like if they don't like peas in a mix of veggies) they can eat everything thing except, if that makes sense. And I won't let them barely eat any dinner and then load up on a desert and no sweets before dinner either ( I know..I am such a hitler!..lol)
