Chopped Home Edition
Brought to you by "This Canned Chicken Life"
Monday night, we find our chef sifting through the freezer. Once upon a time she would need to move things around to see what might be on the shelf.
This is not a problem for her now.
While not completely bare, she is able to quickly ascertain that the contents of the freezer have reached the level of seeing everything upon opening. A blessing? A curse? Who knows!
Fried cauliflower for dinner perhaps? Pakora? Or chicken salad on toast? Yes, that sounds good. Easy, simple after a day's work. But she knows she can do better. She can up the ante and then she thinks 'what about homemade chicken nuggets... and using the last potates to make fries...'
And so she does.
Using the pancake, waffle, biscuit mix + corn starch, paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, garlic powder and maybe a couple others, she seasons her batter mix. Adds a bit of soda and vinegar to it.
Forks her way through the drained can of chicken, she considers blending the meat to break it down further but who wants the added things to clean. Fork it is. Then seasoning and some other magic in between... A dinner is produced.
My rating
Chicken nuggets - 6 out of 10
THOUGH they taste better the next day with being reheated in the oven.. 7.5 out of 10
Fries - 8.8 out of 10
Getting creative with what I had on deck - 7 out of 10
Overall Chopped Difficulty - 3.5 out of 10
