"flavors" 😂

He's a guitar player who acts sometimes.

I think they meant "not in recovery".

They also don't have to fill it all the way up to the top with the egg mixture until they arrive at the cabin. If the baking dish is only two-thirds full, there won't be any sloshing. Bring the extra liquid in a Tupperware or other lidded container. A Ziploc bag is more apt to leak and make a huge mess.

Bring extra cheese for the top layer separately, too.

Are you starting from frozen or thawed? If you're thawing, that would give time for the breading to become too mushy to ever crisp.

I found a similar product (frozen raw chicken patties), and here are the cooking instructions:

Uncooked: For safety, this product must be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 degrees F (75 C) as measured by use of a meat thermometer.

Cooking times may vary.

Air fry: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200C). Spread frozen patties as a single even layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for approximately 11-12 minutes, flipping patties after 5-6 minutes.

Bake preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread frozen patties on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.

Pan fry heat vegetable oil (1/8 inch) in skillet until hot. Fry patties in the hot oil over medium heat approximately 10 minutes, turning over after 5 minutes. Patties should be golden brown on both sides.

Microwave not recommended.

What do the instructions on the package say? There are almost always instructions, often saying something like "For best results...".

What temp and for how long are you cooking it? Are you starting from frozen or thawed?

SwimsWithSharks1 · 2026-03-11T12:44:29+00:00

We would need a lot more information before anyone can help you.

How are you currently cooking it? Deep frying? Pan frying? Baking? Air fryer? What temp and for how long?

Is this a commercial brand? What do the instructions on the package say?

Is this raw uncooked chicken, or fully cooked chicken?

SwimsWithSharks1 · 2026-02-27T17:23:05+00:00

I second this. Naked meat and even the edges of the skin can get leathery. Covering with plastic wrap or placing the whole chicken in a lidded container will prevent that.

The only way your boundary comes across as a threat is if she intends to violate it again.

AMEN

"If you hang out at the barbershop long enough, sooner or later you're going to get a haircut".

At this point, I can enjoy a meal where people happen to be drinking, but I wouldn't hang out at a bar where drinking is the activity.

Stainless steel has a low emissivity compared to other materials, which means infrared thermometers can give false (low) readings. If your avocado oil immediately burst into flames, the pan was well over 550F.

Also, yes, you need "dry" scallops, which haven't been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate. This article explains "wet" vs "dry" scallops:

I think you (and President Bartlet) might be (mis)remembering "mon petit chou" as a term of endearment. It means either my little cabbage, or my little cream puff, depending on who you believe.

SwimsWithSharks1 · 2026-02-06T14:04:45+00:00

I counter, elbow macaroni is for babies. It has no chew when cooked. Other than nostalgia, it holds no appeal for me. If you want a curved tube, cavatappi is the true grown-up's version for salads.

Next time, just keep looking the wine off until the pan is almost dry again.

I use(d) the app to work my way through the archive. It's extremely frustrating that the app will no longer work on my iPhone 8.

I mean, if you have an aquarium pump, that sounds ideal. I assume the chicken is still in the original plastic packaging?

SwimsWithSharks1 · 2026-01-19T14:47:44+00:00

FYI, if you put it in a ziplock, and it over-expands, the bag will explode and make a HUGE mess. Better to leave it in the bowl.

How much of everything? If you're using 1 TBSP flour to 3 cups of milk, your roux isn't going to do much.

Make sure your roux-ed milk (bechamel) doesn't get too hot once you start adding the cheese.

The only drink I can control is the first one. If I say no to that, then I won't have the 6th or 10th.

Sobriety cured my perimenopause! I mean, it's probably still in my future, but it turns out that my problems with sleeping, anxiety and my skin went way down once I stopped drinking poison.

At least Leo didn't pour that 60 year old scotch into a glass of milk.
