The other day I went through my beer carry out and Sandman
gave me a pint of pineapple vinegar he had made. I remembered when I was making
my Curtido, S.A. sauerkraut; they also made a fresh version of slaw using
pineapple vinegar. I made up a batch of it and had it in the fridge about 6
hours before supper.
I would make some cheesy potatoes for another side and some
baked chicken breasts. I usually use a can of Campbell’s cheddar cheese in my
potatoes. When I opened it looked a little brown instead of the nice yellow.
Checked the due date and it was this month. I was afraid to use it and found
another can of Rico’s cheddar cheese. Due date on it was 2012, I didn’t even
open it!
I made up the potatoes with a layer of potatoes, some
shredded triple cheddar and then a second layer. I added half and half cream to
come up half way. They were more like a cheese scalloped potatoes than my usual
but just as good. I put them in a 350 deg. oven for 1 ½ hours lid on then took
the lid off the last 20 minutes.
I figured an hour would do for the chicken breast. I made a
mix of about a cup of Panko bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of parmesan and some Lawrey’s
seasoned salt. I placed them on a foil
lined broiler pan and in the oven. All should be done by 6:00pm.
I checked the chicken at 5 till, it didn’t look brown
enough. I figured the potatoes would hold and I could put the chicken under the
broiler. I checked the temp and they were at 176 deg. I was afraid maybe I
would dry them out so I let all set about 5 minutes and served it up. I had a
little good bread with my butter!
I should have taken the time to brown the chicken; it was some
juicy tasty chicken. My wife even said the same. If I had not been doing the
potatoes I would have done the chicken at 375 or 400 deg. We both really like
the slaw for some a little different. The pineapple vinegar is not as acidic, sour, as
other vinegar.
