Quick meal: oven roasted chicken breast and veggies

So after I had dinner a The 'Dolo the other night, I needed to cook up something for the next day's lunch/dinner. I had a chicken breast that still hadn't quite thawed, so I put it in some water in the sink and did a Stardew Valley stream. By the time I'd finished streaming, the chicken was thawed and I was tired as fuck, so I knew I had to do something quick so I could get to bed.

I grabbed a couple mushrooms, a carrot, and a handful of tomatoes and got to it. I peeled and halved the carrot, the sliced one of the halves lengthwise. I diced the tomatoes into 6 pieces apiece, and just kept the tomatoes in whole.

I threw all of the veggies onto my foil-lined baking pan, doused them with extra virgin olive oil, and seasoned with some salt and black pepper. I also rubbed the chicken breast with the oil and seasoned it with the M9 seasoning I used during the Whole Chicken adventure. Then I just preheated the oven to 450 and threw the pan in (note: I did not actually throw the pan; I placed it gently on the rack).

After about 12 or so minutes, I pulled the pan out and removed the veggies since they looked pretty done, then I threw the chicken back in (note: this time, I threw the chicken directly onto the heating element and started a house fire (inner note: that's a joke; I placed the pan gently on the rack)).

I let the chicken cook another 6 or 7 minutes because who's timing, anyway? I gave it a quick cut in half, saw that it was not raw, and packed up half the veggies and half the chicken into two containers for the next day.

Quick, simple, delicious. Also, having dinner already cooked from the night before gave me time to walk the dogs after the sun had gone down a little.

I don't understand food

Part 1 the morning after, while eating a sausage, egg, and cheese everything bagel from Bergen Bagels Last night, I had the pleasure, privilege, and audacity to eat at a Brooklyn restaurant named Aska . I know it's cliche to refer to a fancy restaurant meal as a life-changing experience, but this was straight up paradigm-shattering. I've written before about food being a medium of communication, about how I strive to reduce food waste as much as I can, about sharing our cultures and stories with each other through the meals we create, but seeing how Chef Fredrik Berselius is able to do this at such an intricate, elegant, and elevated level is both humbling and inspiring. The experience started before the first bite. I walked into the 10 table restaurant, and they knew me by name. I was shown to my table (right in the middle of the place, looking directly into the open kitchen), and they even pulled my chair out for me and pushed it up under me. I was a little uncomfortable with...

Restaurant week: My new Mexican restaurant

As I mentioned the other day, my Mexican restaurant closed down. Luckily, they opened up in a new space a couple of months later. Great new look, new name ("Lopez Grill"), they've got a bar, staff is expanded, and the place is always packed. Business seems to be going great. Now, this isn't just a rehash of my post about the 'Dolo. While the menu is largely the same, there have been a few changes, plus I'm going to share a few things I've learned eating there. On my first visit to the new location (which was opening day, right when the doors opened; yes, I was standing in line outside with the other faithful), Señor Lopez brought me a bowl of their new salsa. He called it "guacamole salsa," but it's a jalapeño-based sauce. It's got an almost creamy texture, but is dairy-free (I asked for my vegan friend). Being a jalapeño salsa, it's got some heat, but not nearly as overbearing as some capsaicin-phobes may fear. It is perfectly bala...

Trying a new idea

I decided to try out a new concept: plain seasoning on my food with a bold sauce to kick it up a few notches. I was thinking that a pretty boring salmon fillet with a super flavorful sauce would be a fun way to put food on the plate. Sort of a "oh, this isn't that great, but wait! There's more!" kind of deal. I just salted the salmon and poached it in olive oil. Meanwhile, I also made some mashed potatoes with some sautéed green onion and orange bell pepper mixed in. A little butter, a little cream, yada yada. The potatoes were great. The salmon was boring. So how about that sauce? I made myself a roux (butter mixed with flour), then added in some white wine, and I let that simmer while I cooked the fish and potatoes. Unfortunately, it thickened up a bit much, so I added some more wine. With the extra wine, it was too watery, so I dropped in some creme fraiche, all while repeating my Randy Marsh impersonation of saying, "creme fraiche!" That gave it a great ...
