Chicken schlopovers

Post by Shnoodles »

Hey you food guys,

We have a lot of left over chicken so tonight we made it into a chicken salad! Here were the ingredients:

Spinach leaves
Leftover chicken reheated
Leftover roast potatoes reheated
Leftover bacon reheated
Cherry tomatoes
Graded cheese
Dab of olive oil

It was great! And Gulliver was bugging me to repost this since I talked about potatoes:

Hey Nibs, thought you might be interested to know we just finished baking some Brownies 2.0 and they should be ready in about 2 hours. We forgot to write down the recipe for the last brownies, so we grabbed a recipe off the Internets. This time we also remembered the vanilla extract, but the fumes were too much for Petri so we had Duddles add it (no nose). Anyshnood, stop by in 2 hours if you want to munch on some brownies.

Hey you guys,

Brownies 2.0 turned out great! Either Gulliver really improved his whisking technique, or this new recipe is much better. The crust is flaky and the interior is moist and they aren't as rich as the 1.0 brownies. Too bad you didn't show up to eat them Nibs - I tried to save you a brownie but it was like a feeding frenzy and now they are all gone. Here is the recipe if you guys want to try it out:
Makes twenty-four 2-inch-square brownies
1 cup pecans or walnuts (4 ounces), chopped medium (optional)
1 1/4 cups plain cake flour (5 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon table salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate , chopped fine
12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), cut into six 1-inch pieces
2 1/4 cups sugar (15 3/4 ounces)
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract



See Illustrations Below: Lining and Lifting

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 325 degrees. Cut 18-inch length foil and fold lengthwise to 8-inch width. Fit foil into length of 13- by 9-inch baking dish, pushing it into corners and up sides of pan; allow excess to overhang pan edges. Cut 14-inch length foil and, if using extra-wide foil, fold lengthwise to 12-inch width; fit into width of baking pan in same manner, perpendicular to first sheet. Spray foil-lined pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. If using nuts, spread nuts evenly on rimmed baking sheet and toast in oven until fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Whisk to combine flour, salt, and baking powder in medium bowl; set aside.

4. Melt chocolate and butter in large heatproof bowl set over saucepan of almost--simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. (Alternatively, in microwave, heat butter and chocolate in large microwave-safe bowl on high for 45 seconds, then stir and heat for 30 seconds more. Stir again, and, if necessary, repeat in 15-second increments; do not let chocolate burn.) When chocolate mixture is completely smooth, remove bowl from saucepan and gradually whisk in sugar. Add eggs one at time, whisking after each addition until thoroughly combined. Whisk in vanilla. Add flour mixture in three additions, folding with rubber spatula until batter is completely smooth and homogeneous.

5. Transfer batter to prepared pan; using spatula, spread batter into corners of pan and smooth surface. Sprinkle toasted nuts (if using) evenly over batter and bake until toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into center of brownies comes out with few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove brownies from pan by lifting foil overhang. Cut brownies into 2-inch squares and serve. (Store leftovers in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.)
PS - we didn't use any nuts!

Food for thought

Hey you food guys.

What does a fillet of Alaskan salmon, asparagus heads, a zucchini, a tomato, a lemon, spinach leaves, and a dab of olive oil all have in common? Why, they were all ingredients in our dinner tonight!

However, the final result just tasted mostly like lemon...

Wow Shnoodles you guys are really all over the cooking spectrum.

I hear you made COUSCOUS!

What was it like? Would you recommend that Petri should eat some?

Hoo hoo Nibs.

Petri needs to stay on a very strict diet where every day he eats one of each type of the five multi-grain cheerios. It's very important he eats his five cheerios a day. No couscous allowed.
Where's Petri?

Hey Shnoodles,

All your talk of salmon inspired me to order some at a restaurant tonight. It was Chilis, so nothing special, but the Salmon was yummy. Lots of herb flavoring. Do you herb flavor your salmon? It was really good.

How did the artichoke chicken dish turn out?

Hey Lee,

Cool! I think salmon is pretty good for you too. Did it come with a side of veg? I'm always on the lookout for new veg to try. I like to flavor the salmon with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and ground black pepper.

Petri couldn't find the artichokes so we just mixed chicken breasts with the sun-dried tomato pesto and diced tomatoes with onion and green pepper. It turned out pretty good! The sun-dried pesto really flavors the chicken well. We ate it with some of the left-over couscous. The only thing missing was a good veg. Hmmm...
