Well thanks for the tip! I’m making chicken wings and fries tomorrow so I’ll give it a go after that. Read more

I’ll be honest. I usually just let the pot cool and then put it away until next time and filter it then if needed. If I’ve only made fries or something that doesn’t really leave debris behind then I don’t even bother with filtering. Read more

They’ve got a French name, so you know they’re high class. Read more

I wrote a weekly Recipes Lost & Found” column for years for a newspaper. Even with the Internet in existence and with restaurant copycat recipe websites by the hundreds, they still emailed and asked on sweet, lilac-colored notepaper by mail for recipes they missed or wanted to try at home.

I hate that there are no Popeyes near my house. I’ve watched their advertising for years and haven’t been able to satisfy my craving. I finally tried it at an Ohio rest stop last year. I’m not sure if that location was the best example of a Popeyes, but I thought the breading on the chicken was fantastic. I did not Read more

Now I need to find other uses for this sauce. Wings maybe? Read more

You are a good person doing good work. Thank you! Read more
