    Went down to the lake today

    Discovered the fridge, actually freezer, is fully stocked.

    You had power on all winter?

    Baggie with about 3 oz of dried porcini mushrooms in it

    Oh, so you have a warm freezer that just contained dried mushrooms?

    I'll bring beer next trip and that will take care of provisioning.

    A man of simple needs!

    How can a guy survive on beer and mushrooms?

    No, no power.

    Oh, so you have a warm freezer that just contained dried mushrooms?

    Well they were frozen last fall, and over winter since the freezer/refrigerator
    doors are propped open. Since the dried shrooms here are at room temperature I figured...

    What can I say I'm a simpleton.

    How can a guy survive on beer and mushrooms?

    I cook here in Anchorage, take things down there and reheat them. Just cooked up a couple turkey thighs in the crockpot, deboned it and broke it up into 4oz suckie bags (now frozen, along with the resulting liquid in jars). You were talking about skin on/bone in chicken breasts...made me think of chicken salad,
    and/or stock, and/or maybe some sort of chicken soup.

    All possibles. The first two got a home made shake and bake treatment
    and an hour in the oven. I would have grilled them but we ran out of
    propane.

    Title: (Ch) Chile Chicken
    Categories: Easy, Chicken, Grill
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 Boneless skinless chicken
    Breast halves; pounded thin
    MARINADE:
    1/4 c Vegetable oil
    1/2 c Lime juice
    1/8 c Cider vinegar
    2 ts Sea salt
    2 ts Black pepper
    1 ts Aleppo Pepper
    1 ts Onion powder
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Smoked paprika

    For marinade: combine lime juice and vinegar in shallow glass pie
    pan. Add seasonings and whisk to dissolve salt. Blend. Slowly
    whisk in oil to blend. Add chicken and cover. Refrigerate for 3
    hours.

    Preheat stovetop grill. When really hot, remove chicken from
    marinade and wipe it off a bit, or it will steam and not grill.
    Should take anywhere from 4-6 minutes to cook chicken because it
    is so thin.

    Sauce: Using 1/2 the marinade ingredients except black pepper, mix
    them together. Heat this mixture and thicken, if you wish, with
    some cornstarch and water (2 tbsp with 1 tbsp water). Reheat
    chicken pieces in sauce and serve with buttered orzo.

    I was in Fred-Meyers the other day and a package of split chicken breasts leapt
    into my cart, approaching their drop-dead date so they were marked waaaaay down. I'm thinking chicken salad sandwiches are on the horizon, soup, and I'll
    restock my Stock stock in the freezer.
