Yup, cancelled follow-up appointments.  It was getting silly here with 3
times a week almost.  No cost but major time-suck.

Nope, not baby back ribs.   Bones way smaller than that.  More like baby bird
bones.  Wierd cut but very flavorful.

Dunno!

Oh today I made buttermilk fried chicken for the first time.  I tried an oven
bake as well at the same time but it wasn't as good.

I soaked 8 chicken thighs (bone in, skin on) in buttermilk for about 1 hour
then decanted the buttermilk (about 1.5 cups poured off) and whisked 2 eggs
into it.  About 2 cups flour (all purpose) and plenty of black pepper and
cajun seasoning.  Dredge in egg/butter milk mix ans seasoned flour then
repeat.  Fried in oil for 9 mins for one set, 7 for the second.  The second
set had smaller pieces (2 each set).  Not bad at all!

The oven set were treated same but didnt work as well.  Not very crispy and
much of the cover came off.  Not bad though and Don likes them.
