SMBC reminds us of one of the creepier sides of Rule #36.

Chicken night 2: quiche. My oven needs a cleaning. And yes, that’s my corgi in the reflection. He’s praying I will hand over some chicken to him.

“Mmmmm griled pork chops, tater saled and biscits!”

Someone I’m “friends” with on Lamebook posted that as her status tonight.

And no, she’s not making fun of anyone. That’s really how she spells.

She’s nice. I like her, generally. But that… That is unforgivable.

(And this is why Sarahdamus calls me a “Grammar Nazi”.)

Let it be known that

Jillian does not in fact like sticking her hands inside raw chickens.

That was my first time to handle an entire bird uncooked. I now feel like I am less pure for having done so.

I’m sorry, Mr. Ice Bird. I really didn’t want to. I think it was worse for me than it was for you.

So when Ree Drummond gives a specific command in her recipes, she absolutely means it. No shenanigans. Or you’ll end up like me and this raspberry cobbler mess.

Yeah, even down to the type of cream… I’ve made the potato bundles many times now and decided to use single cream instead of double cream/heavy cream when making them for my mother - alas, everything comes out curdled. Fail. I unfortunately have a boyfriend with a dairy allergy/intolerance (it acts like an intolerance but he reacts to the skin test as well, so it’s an allergy I think) so I really need to be careful when I use butter/cream in cooking.


She used self-rising flour in these and was specific about using the real thing.  I make my own self-rising at home by just adding salt and baking powder in the right amounts to all-purpose and it’s never failed me before; I’ve baked with it often enough.  But with the cobbler batter, she was not kidding, it apparently matters.  We munched on the mess I was able to rescue from the pan and it did still taste good… just not as good as it could have.  :)
