How about some good ideas for the gourmet stuff you cook.

I use dark meat chicken for piccata and simmer it until it fork cuts, throw in some garlic mashed and iron skillet seared asparagus, BAM.
The trick to good Piccata is to drink the leftover chardonnay while it cooks. Follow it up with Amaretto bread pudding or 5 minute dessert and you would think you were a republican.

It amazes me how so many people only want white meat chicken. To me the dark meat is always much more tender and flavorable.

the chardonay, chicken broth, capers, lemon and garlic from the sauce. I make it deep enough where the chicken is almost submerged so there is plenty to go on the potatoes. I cook the chicken in a mixture of egg, milk and flour to put a pretty heavy crust on it before the simmer that takes about 40 minutes so the battered chicken can absorb the piccata sauce.. boneless skinless thigh is the best, imho.

Squeeze cheese is one of Man's perfect foods
You talking about cholesterol in a can? If so it’s the best travel food.

so while you sit around drinking beer, the game is to try and screw the teeth of the squeeze cheese nozzle through a triscuit and then try to spin the tallest cheese jizz pyramid without breaking the cracker or overloading the cheese jizz off the side. Good Luck!

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law used to (still do if they haven't seen me in a while) get a steak and IMMEDIATELY pour A-1 on it. After the second time of them asking for it at my house after BBQ'n a tritip I told them there will never be steak sauce in my house and it is about the largest insult you can give a chef about their food. They were dumbfounded.
