[Aredeeem]

Doing chicken thighs in a cast iron on the grill. Rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce, a little soy sauce, just a dab so it’s not too salty. Minced garlic and some avocado oil. Chopped scallions and fresh lemon thyme and rosemary, Then low 300 degrees and slow. Give it at least an hour flipping once. Give it a blast of 375 if you think it’s not done. Not bad. Smoked paprika doesn’t hurt either.

Grilled chicken breast garden green beans with new red bliss potatoes topped with cottage cheese.

Soup. Colombian coffee

Brisket yesterday. Took 18 hours at 225F, made some burnt ends with the point, which for those who know, best BBQ ever.

First pic was only 8hrs in when the brisket was wrapped in butcher paper and back on the smoker another 10hrs until temp.

Served with corn on the cob from local greenhouse, my BBQ beans and scratch molasses BBQ sauce.

Some cabbage, chopped lettuce, mixed with dukes mayo and some hot sauce and shredded, grilled chicken.

Breakfast this morning. The little slice of smoked chicken was incredible.

Gatorade, green tea and water. Tested positive for Covid around 2 AM this morning. Woke up freezing cold with sweats and congestion.
Not much appetite.

Rode with my Daughter Fri AM to get fitted for a tux. She gets married in Sept. I could see it coming. She called me that night and said she was feeling crappy and tested positive.

3 scrambled eggs, bacon and toast with butter. Colombian coffee

Lunch today- Vietnamese fried rice and a spring roll.

This Vietnamese fried rice had a very different texture than Chinese fried rice. The Vietnamese fried rice was different AND enjoyable, but I prefer the Chinese fried rice, even though I suspect more work is put into the making of the Vietnamese fried rice when compared to Chinese fried rice. The spring roll was wrapped super tight, but was not as flavorful as the Vietnamese spring rolls I have had in the USA.

Good fried rice is a lot of work to prepare. Making the Chinese fried rice is very easy- getting all the ingredients for the dish and prepping them is the hard work. In the 1980s I made a fried rice from a recipe from television chef and author "The Frugal Gormet". Well-made Chinese fried rice is very hard to find but is delicious. The fried rice at most restaurants has a lot to desire.

Finally, in Thailand the coke zero can is very similar to the regular coke can.

trick to making a good fried rice is using less water than making a normal rice so the rice isnt so soft and mushy it ruins the balance of the dish....i used to make the rice using the standard amount of one cup of rice and cup of broth and the rice came too soft for frying so i dialed back and use only 3/4 cup of broth so the rice is firm and fries up great
