Roemlein night!

So here we are again, another cooking session. I know that there has been a lot lately but I have been couped up in the house because of the money shortage. Everyone has it in there life so I just accept it. The other night I cooked for the Lucas family and the next night I decided to cook for the Roemlein family. My aunt has a really rough week so in her honor I decided to make a dessert to take over there. I didn't want to make it there because it would have taken too much time and energy from me. I saw on one of my favorite cooking shows that they were making a tart. I decided to make a chocolate tart. It really sounded good.


Start with a pie crust. I cheated and just bought it at the store.

I wanted the crust to be a little thinner so I used a roller...I mean a can to roll it out to make it thinner. Like I said I am short on money now a days or I would go to my list on amazon and buy all of the cooking supplies I added.

Put the pie dough over the pan.

Press down on the sides so it takes the shape of the pan.

Poke holes in it so it doesn't rise. And put it in the oven to get a little golden brown. Just use the baking instructions on the box it came in.

While the crust is baking you need to melt the chocolate. Double broiler style. Hot water and since I don't have any bowls to put the chocolate in I used a huge measuring cup. HAHA Well I though it was funny!






Melt until smooth.

While the chips are melting you need to scald some milk

cream

and 2 eggs and 1 egg yoke.

Now that the chocolate is smooth you can combine the chocolate and the milk mixture.

Stir until smooth.

Pour into the cooked crust. Doesn't it look good. I did all of this in way to little time and I didn't get to snap a picture of the finished product so I will leave it up to the imagination again. So as I grabbed my dog and rushed out the door I nearly fell down the stairs. Lesson for the day: Who cares if your late, no sense in loosing a tooth over it. Especially your front tooth. So I decided to make my famous fried chicken. Here is how I made it. I have to apologize for the wacky pictures because my cousin was taking it and she is a teenager. You know how those little devils can be. "Oh whatever" "Don't bother me, I'm doing nothing right now and I like it" "I didn't do it and don't ask me who did because I'll just act annoyed". Wow flash back!!!!!! Moving on.
First take some eggs and milk and mix it together.



While you are mixing everything have some oil heating on the stove.

Take some flour and mix it with the all powerful emeril's original seasoning.



Take the chicken and dump it in the egg mix and then in the flour

Oh wait here is when I changed my mind and used a zip lock bag to shake the chicken up in. I realized that for the size of the plate and size of the chicken it would be a messy disaster.

Now fry that chicken baby!!!!! Look at em goooooo!

You should cook them for about 15 on each side or until it is nice and brown.


This is what it should look like. Oh come to mama!!
