The Curmudgeon “Emeril”!

Just turned off my Magic Microwave/Air Fryer/Broiler/Convection Oven at 400F with Skin On, Bone In Chicken Thighs. They got trimmed and tossed with Olive Oil, Old Bay and Dry Vermouth beforehand.

Turned off my 400F oven with a sheet pan of sliced peach tossed with Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Fresh Ground Pepper and Dry Vermouth.

Rice Cooker on Warm with half White, half Brown Rice in homemade veggie stock.

Which explains why my young neighbor, fellow cook and provider of Canine Therapy teasingly calls me “Emeril”!

Today started at La Farm Bakery for honest French Country Bread, then Capri Flavors for grated Parmesan, then Total Wine for essentials, then the Raleigh Farmers Market for Nahunta Pork (Ribs, Chops, Butt Roast and Ham Hock), then a vendor stand for big ole field ripe tomatoes and fresh shelled Butter Beans – just take me now Lord! And finally, Harris Teeter for Dry Vermouth (recipe) and a Brown Rice California Roll- needed a late lunch.

Yeah, I cook. Ain’t eating that stuff in the middle of the store. Or drive through anything. Curmudgeon!
