Chicken Chili – Bleeeesh!!!

Posted in Blogroll, Chicken, Chili, Cooking, Florida, Food, Mexican, Orlando, Recipes, United States, USA, tagged Chicken, chicken chili, Chili, foul on October 28, 2008| 2 Comments »

Ok, I had two boneless chicken breast out on the counter to defrost. My wife gave me strict instructions NOT to make chicken Parmesan (which we both love but we are tired of saucy stuff). So I decided to look up some chicken chili recipes – and basically ended up making my regular chili but with ground chicken instead of ground beef.

It tasted crappy. It was probably healthy, and maybe someone might think it was good. But not us. We need the BEEF. We need the beef fat. We can’t take shortcuts and make chili from stuff that chili isn’t supposed to made from. Its foul 😉

Lesson Learned ===>> Don’t make chicken chili – ever – again!

Pannullo

On Friday I went over to Park Avenue in Winter Park for lunch. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted, but I was in a “vacation” kind of mood, so I stopped at Pannullo’s. At first I thought about have a pannini or other sandwich, but then I spotted “The Park Avenue Burger” on their menu.

Gotta tell ya – the BEST burger I’ve had all year (including the ones I make myself). The wait person told me that they grind their own beef each day. I’m not sure if that was the ultimate secret, but this was a great burger. I had mine done med-well and topped with two slices of provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and shaved red onion. It came with fries – I had a beer with it. Total with the tip $15.00. I’ll go again when I’m in the craving a great burger. Thanks Pannullo’s!

Farmer’s Market

Saturday we went to the Winter Park (FL) Farmer’s Market. Early in the morning the market area was teaming with people and vendors. We wanted to get there early since it was supposed to be a very hot day – and Mother Nature didn’t lie. By 9:30 AM it was really getting steamy. I had my camera and camera/backpack on and it got uncomfortable fast. The older I get – the less I can stand the heat – it really bothers me.

OK, if you’re anything like Donna and I, we start eating with our eyes. The market had so many beautiful veggies, flowers, cheeses, plants, shrubs, herbs, breads – you name it. Here are a few shots from the market.

We bought peppers, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, radishes, lemons, and red potatoes. So far I’ve used the lemons, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, green beans and potatoes. I’ll have a few dishes to post soon.
