It’s pretty easy to make!
Make a roux
While the roux is starting in a separate pan
Lightly flour and season chicken thighs
Cook these about 6 minutes per side on medium high heat then remove
In the same pan you cooked the chicken add chopped onions celery and bell peppers and cook down till color changes. Then add 32 oz chicken stock. Let that get to a simmer then slowly start adding it to your roux once the roux is done. Let that get to a good simmer and add 2 cups of water. Then let that get to a simmer and add your chicken. Then simmer it for about 3-4 hours

Friend,

The anticipation is everywhere! I had two pork tenderloins about to expire that I picked up at Sam's. They were $1.77 per pound, and the entire package, which consisted of two tenderloins -- those poor pigs -- was $4.25, quite a bargain.



I decided to grill, as it was warm, and I still had a 1/3 of a snoball left from an afternoon jaunt for my last snoball of the season. Preparation was very simple. I wore gloves and oiled up both tenderloins, after trimming the fat, and then applied some Tony's. Before doing that, though, I preheated my gas grill to high, which brought it to 550 by the time the meat was done.



I browned all four sides, taking about two minutes per side. When that was done, I put it on the grill, and lowered the temp to 400. I left it 7 minutes per side, flipping only once. In total, the entire process from start to finish was 25 minutes and there was hardly any work involved.



Once inside, I prepped dessert while waiting for it to cool. Some Brocato's biscotti and Saxon hot chocolate. Saxon makes some of the best hot chocolate available, and perhaps only the powder at Williams-Sonoma trumps it, for easily obtained hot chocolate at least. Oops, it looks like a bit off the loin tail. Please don't judge -- the front is coming so I am acting a bit irrationally happy.

I realized that the dish needed a little jazz and color, so I took out some ALREEF wild cucumber pickles. These are Mediterranean pickles, and are a bit softer, tangier, and saltier than the American varieties. They are my favorite bottled pickles, and if you have the occasion to try them, please do, on my recommendation, and let me know how you like them.



Friends, what a meal. But more importantly, what a week ahead. I really do think this Saturday will be Front Day, and I hope you all celebrate appropriately -- with a warm meal and hot chocolate! Please do marshmallows if you do!!

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Friend,

I consider the first cool front to be the first day with highs below 86 and a dewpoint less than 65. The first cool front does not always produce Front Day.

To be a Front Day, these are the criteria which are present for the first time after the summer months:
1. Saturday
2. Low of 60 or less
3. Sunny

Since 1986, Mother has celebrated Front Day with an ever growing hot chocolate party at the house.

Yours,
TulaneLSU
