Lockdown comfort food (or any food!)

[Angry Perch]

Instead of beef and barley, I went with bear and sorghum, along with some shiitakes.

What are you all making while you're locked up?

We made Thai Fried Rice last Sunday, Now that I don't get out where I can get take out have to figure out how to make it at home. One of my favorite comfort foods.
Lets just say I have come a long way from the initial try years back where I cleared the house due to misuse of Fish sauce    Just the mention of fish sauce will still get me looks of disapproval. 

Sunday turned out good!  no bad lingering fishy odors around the house post prep .

I LOVE fish sauce! Use it all the time instead of salt or soy sauce.

It is strong smelling stuff though!

Did teriyaki tri-tips and stir fry veggies on Saturday.  Not necessarily "comfort food," but it was pretty good.

Then smoked brisket and fried potatoes on Sunday.  Getting closer.


I need to start some bacon curing (my first) soon.

Full bird in the crockpot with a little chicken stock in the bottom. I coat the whole body with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and slow cook for about 5 hours on low. Then I pull it out, shred it and add back to pot which some more chicken stock that I keep from when I cook chicken thighs. Add in cut up carrots, onions and I like small diced peppers. Cook that for another few hours then add in whatever type noodle you like and simmer that for about an hour. Depending on how thick or thin you like it, add a roux and enjoy.

One of those things that gets better in the fridge. I'll make sauce, soup or? in big batches and do something a little different with it each night.

I have found with things like that, if you can vacuum seal them and freeze for a few days, the flavor is even better

Our problem is the black hole that is the freezer.
