chicken breast scallopini


Dadgumit I missed the chance to use one of those limes. That's okay. I defrosted three chicken chests (I'm too demure to say 'breasts'), used two, so I'll do that tomorrow. * looks around * If there is a tomorrow. I tend to forget tomorrow is not promised.

Chicken breast, oops, I mean chest, pounded, dusted, and fried quickly in bacon grease. I wanted that bacon grease coursing through my veins thickening it up, and to get rid of it, and because I felt like it, but mostly because I felt like it. I added saki and a trace of sugar to the gravy just to be different.

Then I forgot to turn off the stove and didn't notice until after lunch. Oh boy.

So I read a few pages on food-photography and now I'm an expert in my mind. The pages agree, they make a point of it, there is nothing more boring than a dead-on overhead shot. Therefore, here's a dead-on overhead shot of Brittany sel gris gross. It's too chunky for its own good and must be brought down a few notches. The coffee grinder is not good for this. The mineral-laden salt is too wet and the machine grinds it to a consistency resembling wet sand. Even if you bake it dry, it dampens up again like it's hydroscopic or something. Luckily, it grinds in this thing with ease.


See? Now that there's ART!
