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.

Voices in my head, or: Why do I cook?

Every time I chop a vegetable, slice a steak, drop garlic into oil, or scrub a pan, I hear voices in my head: my mom, my dad, my grandmothers, friends from college like James and Liz, friends from adulthood like Rick and Claudio, internet friends like NerdyCap , and tv chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Jeff Smith, Anthony Bourdain, Jacques Pepin, and Alton Brown, all of the folks who have taught me, directly in person or indirectly through books, tv episodes, or live streams, about cooking. Steak frying with minced onion and minced garlic Sometimes I hear them instructing me on what I'm doing, the same words I've heard repeat in my head hundreds or thousands of times. "Don't let the garlic overcook or you'll get a bitter taste," mom says every time. Claudio often hits me with "If you hear them sizzling, they're sautéing. If they're quiet, they're caramelizing." "Why the fuck are you fucking doing this, you stupid donkey?!" ...

My Mexican restaurant

Some nights (and weekends), I just don't feel like cooking, so I do go out to local restaurants from time to time. My most frequent haunt is El Idolo, a Mexican place just on the edge of Bartlett, TN. It sits a good 1/8 of a mile from the geographic center of the county, so it's reached easily enough from everywhere. They also have the best damn margaritas in town. I've come here frequently and long enough (since they opened, to be honest), that I don't order a drink - my server brings my drink when I've been seated. Incidentally, I go for the medium (used to be large, but they added a new size that's for my Sundays only) margarita on the rocks, no ice, no salt. When a new server starts at "the 'Dolo" (as we call it), it usually takes them 2-3 visits before they remember, and then it's smooth sailing again. Most places that I've ordered this just mix a normal margarita, then top it off with their mix; the 'Dolo says, "nah, hermano,...

A Spicy Tuesday Night

In my younger years, I did not enjoy spicy foods. Luckily, I grew up... Recipe for habanero cream sauce Tonight for dinner, I made chicken and veggies with a new favorite: habanero cream sauce. I started with a couple mushrooms, a couple radishes, some shallot, a little yellow bell pepper, and a few cloves of garlic. I generally try to group ingredients by when I want to add them (I call them "firm," "soft," "aromatic," etc.). In this case, the sliced baby bellas and diced bell pepper were "soft," the sliced radish and slivered garlic were "hard," and the minced shallot and minced garlic were "aromatic." A little knife work, and they were ready to go, which meant it was time to tackle the habanero. I cut it up last just to help prevent getting that heat mixed in anywhere it didn't need to go. I mince that shit down so I can mix it around pretty thoroughly, and I threw that into the a...
