Today I had enough brains to cook but not enough to think about cooking. So I looked at my open tabs and came up with a rather tasty meal.

Oven fried chicken
I used too much buttermilk, and it was a bit less crisp than those looked, but was v. tasty. Oh, and I added some sumac to the breadcrumb mixture.

Sweet pepper and onion confit as recommended by venta.
I didn't add salt, but did add a splash of sake and a splash of worcester sauce. B didn't want to eat the onion, saying that he finds onions sour, but admitted when he tried it that it was nice, and also quite sweet.

I also made potato wedges, but I forgot, I thought that I normally undercooked them so went for a longer cooking time, but they ended up burnt.

I made enough chicken and veg to go in B's lunchbox tomorrow, he's also having rice, and for dessert, a slice of malt loaf and some raspberries.

I love so much when people talk about what they're eating and their cooking plans. Sounds tasty!

I often have the problem with oven-baked potato wedges - either under-cooked or burnt. These days I either prebake or parboil potatoes before cutting them into wedges or cubes and then finishing off in the oven or pan.

I shall try that trick with the wedges. Thankyou.

"Today I had enough brains to cook" -- my pre-coffee mind read that all wrong at first (in an "mmmm, brains" kind of way).

:) I'm told brains are tasty but I've never seen them in a shop.
