  1. I had a real comfort meal breaded fried pork chops, french cut green
    beans and pan fried mushrooms.

    The only thing missing was the onion gravy...

    I used this for the breading. And mixed dijon mustard into the egg wash.

    Marnie's Breading Mix

    none

    2 teaspoon dried basil
    4 cup bread crumbs (I use 3 cups bread crumbs 1 cup corn meal)
    1 tablespoon celery salt (I use celery seed)
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1 tablespoon black pepper
    2 teaspoon salt
    (I add 1 tsp cayanne pepper as well)

    Makes 4 1/2 cups dry mix

    The following recipes and tips were in an article in the Food Day section
    of the Oregonian. They are from Marnie Swedberg, author of "Marnie's
    Kitchen Shortcuts."

    Combine basil, bread crumbs, celery salt, garlic powder, paprika, pepper
    and salt. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 6
    months.

    For chicken: Combine 1 cup mix with 1/2 teaspoon dried sage and 1/2
    teaspoon dried thyme in a gallon-size plastic bag. Shake cut-up chicken
    pieces in mixture and arrange in ungreased baking dishes. Bake at 350
    degrees for 1 1/4 hours, turning once during cooking.

    For beef or veal: Combine 1 cup mix with 1/2 teaspoon oregano flakes in
    gallon-size plastic bag. Shake individual steaks in mixture and bake on
    greased baking sheets for 1 hour at 300 degrees.

    Tips:

    * Store homemade mixes in airtight, moisture-proof containers or in
    resealable freezer bags. Swedberg prefers sour cream and cottage cheese
    containers; for large batches, she uses ice cream buckets and deli
    containers.

    * Mixes containing shortening or bread crumbs will stay fresh for six
    months. Spice mixes will stay fresh longer, but tastes and aromas may
    decline with age. Freezing extends shelf life.

    * An empty shoe box works well as a "filing cabinet" for plastic freezer
    bags filled with dry mixes.

    * Label mixes as you prepare them. Include the name of the mix, date
    assembled and use instructions. Try self-adhesive labels or a small
    square
    of paper taped to the container.

    * Assembly will go more quickly if you use two sets of measuring
    utensils:
    one for dry ingredients and the other for shortening.

    Ours is going to be even 'comfort-ier,' I think: beef stew cooked with
    red wine, finished with some hoisin sauce stirred in at the end. The
    stew is resting after being cooked this morning. I'll make homemade
    egg noodles in a little while. -aem

    anytime.

    We have tickets for a concert on Tuesday, July 30 and on
    Thursday, Aug 1 we are taking one of Bob's out of towner friends out to
    dinner. You just made me hungry for breading and so I now know where I
    will go. Other than that, I think we should be available most any time
    to
    hang out and enjoy the city! whooo hoooo!

    I love meals like that and so does *my* Allan. You know what I've been
    using instead of breadcrumbs lately (since I'm out of Panko)? Crushed
    croutons! They're already perfectly seasoned and they work great! I've
    done pork and fish with them and it's wonderful. Since croutons are already
    a little greasy, I don't have to flour or egg whatever I'm coating; I just
    use a shake & bake method.

    Tonight it's Southern (kinda) Style convection oven baked chicken (with
    that breading). I soaked the chicken parts in 2% milk overnight. My
    cheapo side wouldn't let me buy buttermilk, cause it was only sold in
    quarts and I only needed a cup of the stuff. Sidedish for the chicken
    parts is grilled asparagus...I toss the trimmed asparagus in veggie oil
    and salt. Put them on a hot grill and in about 3-5 minutes they're
    done...Just grilled long enough to get grill marks and enough to turn to
    all sides up...

    Yeah I know; better with the buttermilk. But I don't like to drink it and
    I have not baking projects planned.

    I think plain milk works fine for soaking chicken before frying. As to
    the buttermilk, you could have used the excess for pancakes or
    biscuits. Or you could get a container of dry powdered buttermilk and
    keep in the fridge (after opening). It works fine for all three of
    these uses, but not for drinking. -aem

    Funny, when I went shopping this morning I first picked up a cup-sized
    container of buttermilk and then I reconsidered and got a quart: I *always*
    find a use for the stuff: besides chicken, I use it for salad dressings,
    lassi/smoothies, ice cream, potatoes, biscuits, pancakes, cold soups,
    cornbread... the list goes on and on!

    Well It isn't for sale in 1 cup containers at my local Supermarkrt...nor
    is the powdered Buttermilk readily availible...My idea of supper prep
    isn't fight rush hour traffic across town to buy stuff then fight rush
    hour back agian bfore cooking. So 2% had to do.

    Now if it had been a shopping day...and I had pre planned the meal...it
    woulda been different. But taking a pkg of chicken outa the freezer the
    day before and pouring milk in the zippo bag then putting the chicken in
    the fridge can't truly be called pre planning a meal.

    ********************************************
    I use just plain milk also. At one time I had a can of powdered
    buttermilk and used it once, then it languished in my cabinet till it
    became outdated. I don't know if one can find it anymore in the grocery
    store ad don't I don't even remember in which aisle it was found.
    It worked pretty good. I won't even let real buttermilk near my mouth!
    Yuck! Jeanette
