Buffalo burgers
We tried buffalo burgers recently and I was surprised at the difference between it and beef. The texture in handling it feels sort of clean and loose but it all holds together well. In cooking it seemed to want to brown faster than beef and in spite of it having less fat there is still plenty and it’s wasn’t dry. Flavor wise it didn’t have a gamey flavor but it was different. Smell wise it wasn’t too strong to me but I think GRover was about ready to climb down my throat to get some.
Chicken rub
Another day as I was trying to figure out how I wanted to make some chicken, I ended up with the following spice rub:
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1tsp corriander
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
I flattened out the chicken, applied the rub to both sides and cooked for a few minutes on each side. Mmmm! Next time maybe a little lighter on the cayenne though.
Haagen Dazs chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
I had never had this version and decided it was time to try it. The vanilla ice cream part of it is I think the strongest vanilla I’ve ever had and I’d be happy with just that. The cookie dough part tasted to me more like real cookie dough than the Ben & Jerry’s variety. This is now my new favorite version of this flavor.
