Grilled Chicken Wings
I tried this recipe except without the sauce, since I like dry chickeny chicken wings without too much sauce. Unfortunately, dry is what I got — the results were dry and hard; some of the thicker pieces are edible, but none of them is what you’d call a great chicken…

Thit Nuong – Vietnamese Grilled Pork
I followed this recipe. I used boneless country ribs (aka pork butt), sliced to about 1/4″. I also haven’t yet found a “meat cage” the right size (might have to make one), so just laid them on the grill. I also cannot for the life of me mince lemongrass properly;…

Chili-lime brownies

Kitchen Sink Brownies
These are sweeter than the cookies, since I just went with what was in the house (leftovers from the cookies and other projects), but it’s hard to go wrong with this kind of recipe. Though it turns out this was too many marshmallows; they kind of screwed up the structure…

Chicken stock with sauteed breast meat
This is a slight variation on the Cook’s Illustrated chicken stock recipe, intended to end up with meat that can be put into soup. Again, it’s good because it’s quick, but the chicken-hacking is a fair amount of work (and this one is more work than the other, since you…

Chicken stock
This is essentially the basic chicken stock recipe from the Cook’s Illustrated “New Best Recipe” book. It’s nice because it doesn’t take very long and makes a very flavorful stock, though all the chicken-hacking can be a pain (it’s messy; you might want to put down a tarp). This has…
