Yes - combine everything but the chicken in a pot, cook on high for 10 minutes, then add the (pre-cooked and cubed) chicken breasts and let simmer for an hour or so.

a very underrated cut of meat you don't hear talked about much:
beef ribs
sold with the bone in
very tender and juicy if cooked right
not cheap but worth the $

I have a pot of Butter Chicken cooking right now. My wife mixed up the spices because I have no idea what is in it but I cooked the chicken and added the butter, cream, tomato paste, and chicken. Maybe one of the best smelling foods as it cooks.

Evenbob, what a cook! You have talent.
I ate chicken noodle soup just now, don't usually eat it, another food phobia I think. It was good with some Italian bread. One reason I don't like this soup or any other, it's nice having something to chew on, but I like the broth the most. Maybe it's that, thinking I'll just be disappointed.

Today is swim and BBQ party day. The pool is at 85 degrees and the outside temperature is supposed to be 92. A perfect Vegas day. Cooking bacon cheese burgers and some bbq chicken.
Fun in the sun. I am so happy it has finally warmed up. We should finally hit 100 by Wednesday.

What kind of crust?
I have tried two. Spinach/parmesan crust comes out a little thin for my liking. Cauliflower crust is a little better, but it takes a bit of a struggle to get it to come out the other end, if you know what I mean.

I don't know why, but I can not stand baked spaghetti with melted cheese. I can eat it fried, I can eat it traditional style and eat leftovers cold but dont like it baked. I love baked ziti, lasagna or rigatoni but not spaghetti.Perhaps I've never had it done right.

Gross. IMO Cincinnati has quite possibly the worst regional cuisine in the US. Thin soupy chili with cinnamon in it? Cinnamon in the chili wtf. And yeah they put it on spaghetti, put cheese and onions in the chili too.

You ate it after it smelled sour? It
was full of bacteria and had gone
bad. You're lucky you didn't get
sick. NEVER eat meat that smells
sour or has any kind of odor.

I had it once, at the airport. I wasn't a big fan but was inspired to use Checkers chili as a base for a meat sauce that I liked.
When I make spaghetti, I top it with a very meaty sauce and lots of grated cheese. Leftovers, I fry.

Nah I threw it out. I meant to post this in the grocery store trip report thread.
The raw meat smelled fine, but then it had a weird odor as I was cooking it. The best I can describe it is a barnyard smell. Then I tasted a small piece and it was super sour.

I just ate some leftover Hunan beef and pork fried rice. It tasted a little off but I continued to eat it anyway because I hate throwing food away. I think that was a big mistake. My stomach is strating to rumble and I am getting nervous. At this point I expect that I will be staying close to the bathroom for the next day or two. My frugalness probably just cost me and I am going to have two miserable days.

Just think about the money you saved and how you can now afford to splurge on your next order. Be sure to order extra duck sauce in the future. Give a man enough duck sauce and he can move the planet.

That is true. So long as it’s actually chili, not the Cincinnati thin soupy style with cinnamon in it. Skyline and goldstar, and any cincy style chili that I’m aware of, is loaded with cinnamon.

Boiled carrots and nuked sweet potatoes. Well, you see I had this great big bag of carrots in the refrigerator and was uncertain how long they would keep. Then Amazon delivered one of the two spices I had ordered from India (rosemary and Thyme), so I set to work to use up the carrots very quickly. A little time and a good bit of thyme go a long way. I have so much beta-carotene in me, I may start glowing in the dark. If'n I do get that virus stuff, I'm sure to beat it. And Rosemary tea is great for the lungs and for weight loss!

Yes, Cincinatti chili always has ciinammon and I don't like it. The only cinammon I like is on a sweet roll.

Today my menu was spaghetti carbonara with tuna, had a slight spicy flavor. I accompanied everything with a caesar salad, it was very tasty. The preparation was simple, you should only beat eggs, cut vegetables, bacon and use a can of tuna. You should cook the vegetables with bacon and tuna along with the spices of your taste in a pan to reserve it. After cooking the spaghetti and removing the water, mix the spaghetti with the vegetables, bacon and tuna. Then let the beaten egg pour over the spaghetti until the egg is fully cooked by mixing continuously and ready. Spaghetti carbonara made at home.
