Quail eggs are also a good choice for making pickled eggs. They're nice to have on hand for some dishes and for making appetizers. Especially if you like really intense pickled egg flavor cause those things can get pretty strong after awhile. Makes a good pairing with savory fatty meat or a particularly rich cheese though

Literally my only experience with quail eggs is raw quail eggs over uni (sea urchin roe) in sushi. It's absolutely exquisite.

I made mother's day lunch according to my mom's wishes. So first we had sliced raw scallops with lime and olive oil. Then we had vitello tonnato, which is boiled veal with a tuna-anchovy-caper sauce. Feeling festive, I went with a kind of wreath design. I enjoyed presenting this gray abomination to the table:

We had white asparagus to go with it as well lol. Tasted great though.

Dessert was a thankfully more pleasant-looking lime tart:

That said I made some homemade liver pate last night. Nothing too complicated. Just soaked the cow liver for several hours in milk to get rid of the strong iron taste, cooked the liver, some maple cured bacon and some smoked pork belly with onions. Then threw all that in the blender with lard, rosemary, summer savory, salt, pepper, sage, dill and some garlic to blend and stored it in canning jars

Turned out really well and has the dog eyeing me closely every time she sees the jar its in. She knows liver and pork got cooked up and wants her cut

They are also really good for egg noodles and breakfast burritos.

Also, they taste great raw. Especially if you put a little tobasco on them.

Raw quail eggs are also great for dogs too. It gives them a nice shiny coat.
Unfortunately, my pitbull doesn't always seem to like the quail eggs which makes no fucking sense because I assumed she'd enjoy eating a baby.

Went to mum's to cook her a Mother's Day Brunch-Lunch as is tradition. Love her dearly so I made what she wanted. She was feeling somewhere between a Full Scottish Breakfast and an Omelet so I did what I could to appease both cravings.

I made her a cheese omelet with fried mushrooms and tomatoes through out it, folded over into a perfect triangle like a crepe. Threw some sauteed spinach, peppers and onions over top of it for her so she'd get a bit more nutrients. For the sides I made up some toast, bacon, breakfast link sausage, some fried haggis filling shaped into circle patties, and what little blood sausage she had left in the fridge. I cheated and made potato pancakes instead of tattie scones though. I did make up some Yorkshire pudding and homemade beans as well. Family doesn't care for beans on toast, but beans in Yorkshire pudding cups hits different imo. But our family's bean recipe is more onion-y/beefy and not tomato-y like Heinz beans. Either way, I had fun doing all that cooking. Mum loved it, she ate her whole portion which is rare for her to do. I feel proud.

American breakfast. It's dinner time and I haven't ate anything else today.

I don't know where to buy chicken legs and I don't want to cut legs off the chickens I have but I'll be sure to look into it. I bet you could make a decent stew with chicken legs.

Huh? Chicken legs are sold at grocery stores everywhere?

Either chicken legs or chicken leg quarters (i.e. leg and thigh), especially depending on which you can find on sale. Thighs are better than legs anyhow, chicken thighs usually seem to cost more, but you can get leg quarters on sale for pretty cheap sometimes.

I recently got 10 pounds for $5 which is rare, and immediately froze them in individual portions. You can make a light meal of just one and some rice. I generally just air fry them with a light dry rub. It's about as minimal as you can get and have an actual meal. Unless you add salt or sauce it's also pretty low in carbs and sodium.

Just had a flashback to the time I meticulously shelled and deviled 100 quail eggs for a tea party, never again.

It's worth a few extra pennies if you get deboned chicken thighs that meat in my opinion is the best part of the chicken.

That's what I paid the last time I saw them on sale, and my freezer still has a bunch. They'll last years if you've got a good freezer and they stay frozen solid, so if you find them for a good price, you might as well stock up enough to last you till the next time they go on sale. Assuming you've got the space.

One leg quarter is a pretty good-sized protein portion. I don't bother separating them though, when I cook them I'll just defrost and cook a whole package, like a week's worth, then I portion them out into containers and freeze whatever I expect to not be eaten within a few days.

It's worth a few extra pennies if you get deboned chicken thighs that meat in my opinion is the best part of the chicken.

Boneless thighs cost what, like double what bone-in quarters cost though. More if you can find leg quarters on sale. It's not that much worth it IMO. Plus you can throw bones in a bag in the freezer and use them to make stock eventually.

I feel like thats something a chef on the royal families shitlist would be assigned to do as punishment during a state banquet for fucking up one of their meals. Spending days doing that for thousands of quail eggs would be horrifying

I use this almost any time a dish calls for chicken, especially things like stir fries. They also make a great sandwich.

 

[Crisis Instigator]

Had some shaved ribeye leftover from another recipe so we had bulgogli and white rice for dinner sonce it was easy.

I stopped using chicken breast because I noticed the quality of chicken just really hasn't been the same although chickens thighs boneless have remained consistent.

Stuffed peppers from Costco. Fuck yeah.

Stuffed peppers from Costco. Fuck yeah.

lol my wife was big mad about the price of those the other day


FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE FREEZER!

a lump of pork sirloin I got from aldi half-price because it was going bad soon

the good part about them is you can take them straight from the freezer and throw them in the pressure cooker

90m in the instapot with a cup of red wine, a few cubes of beef bouilion, and a pack of onion soup, filled the rest with water
then after the instapot a layer of sazon and tenish minutes in the air fryer at 400

really really great, way better than I expected from an exercise in cheap meat

 

[Meat Target]

lol my wife was big mad about the price of those the other day

On the rare occasion I go to Costco, I'm going hog-wild and ignoring prices.

We were going to go out for Mothers' Day yesterday, but I've been feeling kinda out of social stamina so instead, my husband made us really, really nice fried rice.
Today, I made a beef shank panang curry with a lot of vegetables. The kids and my husband had it with leftover fried rice, I just piled up the veg with like two beef pieces for a bit of protein and drank the bit of remaining curry in my bowl as soup lmfao.

Just had a flashback to the time I meticulously shelled and deviled 100 quail eggs for a tea party, never again.

I read quail eggs and also have a core memory surrounding them- I remembered my first ''boyfriend'' when we were 3 or 4- we just got along really well, they were farmers in the middle of Northern country, and our parents thought our friendship was cute, so his sent a few boxes of fresh quail eggs. I remember the way they look, but not even his name, lmao.
Anyway, I looked up quail farms in my original region just now and there is only one, I clicked was greeted with a photo of a clear tranny with his wife. Do you think......

Grits with just butter and salt.
