That is a beautiful salt mixture I threw together consisting of coarse sea salt, finely chopped rosemary and lemon zest. Delicious. I rubbed it all over some chicken thighs. All, over. I even tucked some under the skin. Lots, under, the, skin. What I'm trying to say is, I temporarily lost my mind and put enough salt on 4 small chicken thighs to brine a 15 pound turkey with.
Next, I placed the chicken skin-side down in a hot, cast-iron skillet. I placed another skillet on top and placed heavy cans of food on top of that. I was going for a "brick chicken" effect. It worked! Look at that beautifully crispy, perfectly cooked chicken...
It tasted like I imagine drowning in the ocean would taste... gulping down salty sea water until you can no longer breathe. Carson looooooooves salt. He called this "inedible." So, dinner number two...
Breakfast burritos that I made faster than you can say F M L. Anyway, thank you for the sweet comments on my Homemade Tagalongs. It's the only thing keeping me from feeling like a complete failure right now. And you've convinced me, Samoas up next!

Like drowning in the ocean would taste!! Ha ha ha!! I feel your pain. I spent two hours making mole yesterday...only to discover that I can't stand mole. My husband ate it up thank God, but I had to down half a bottle of wine to get through it. :( Oh well - it's the 'misses' in the kitchen that make the hits all the more sweet;)
BTDT with the over salting. Its so humiliating (to me at least) like I don't even know how to season. FML is right!! Glad the burritos saved the day :)
Why are you so freaking funny. Book deal...HELLO.
