The Hawthornes were in a festive mood yesterday
so we had fiesta food for lunch.
Shredded cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes,
cilantro, red onion for toppings.
I fried up one of my homemade tortillas,
added some seasoned hamburger meat,
topped off with the toppings and my creme fraiche
with corn salsa.
A very nice lunch.
Dixie's vet was coming to visit this afternoon,
so she had a bath this morning.
She's partial to Suave's Refreshing Waterfall Mist Shampoo
and Ocean Breeze Conditioner.
She always likes to look her best for her vet.
Here's Dixie after her bath.
She has a routine.
After her little nap,
I blow-dried her fur,
brushing in the opposite direction.
She likes the backcombing.
Now her fur is very soft
and she smells delicious.
Let's go on to today's lunch.
We'd bought chicken wings on sale at Harris Teeter.
Mr. Hawthorne chopped off the tips
and saved them in a freezer bag
for stock.
I made a cut around the top of the bone,
then scraped the chicken meat down
to form a little ball.
I pulled the meat down the bone.
And here's my little chicken drummette
ready for the marinade.
Chicken on the left
and buttermilk/Texas Pete marinade on the right.
Let the chicken soak for about an hour.
Mr. Hawthorne has the chicken marinating in the middle,
his seasoned flour (all purpose flour, semolina flour, Cajun seasoning, cayenne papper)
on the left, and the chicken frying on the right.
I didn't have the heart to tell him
he's got his stuff in the wrong order.
Put the marinade on the far left,
then the flour.
Sheesh!
About 7 minutes in the fryer.
Chicken drumette, potato salad, and greens from my garden.
The chicken was perfectly cooked.
Crispy on the outside.
Moist, juicy, and tender on the inside.
Potato salad with mayo, boiled eggs, celery, red onions,
sweet pickles, pickle juice, brown mustard, and
roasted red peppers.
These wings were delicious.
