Pickle-brined Chicken
Nothing revolutionary here, but this process made for some great roasted chicken thighs. I didn’t have any buttermilk on hand, so I mixed up a little pickle brine with milk and hot sauce. After soaking overnight, dredge in seasoned flour, … Continue reading
Barely Pickled
Nope, not an afternoon of gin-and-tonics, and not Hendrick’s pickles (an idea via From Belly to Bacon that’s brilliant on a number of levels). That’ll have to wait for another time and another post. But these are quick pickles, truly … Continue reading

Corning a Tongue
Ok, so I’ve picked up some weird things at the market in the past few years. Inspired in part by Fergus Henderson, Michael Symon, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, I’ve bought kidneys, sweetbreads, pig’s ears, trotters, calves brains, bone marrow, and liver … Continue reading
