  • Walmart makes extra rotisserie chickens each day, chills them down and puts them in the deli case the next day. The bottom of the container bag is filled with gelatin. The whole thing is rather disgusting. But it’s cheaper per net pound than processed chicken deli meat and perfect for chicken salads and what not.















  • I debated yogurt vs sour cream. The recipe I based this on used sour cream instead of yogurt and I figured it was with a try since it’s more “cooling” than yogurt. But it also had cheddar instead of feta. That was too far for me.

    Craisins are cranberries. I had made the whole thing and was ready to plate but after taking a taste it needed some sweetness, but not too much. Craisins to the rescue.

    It felt really weird adding craisins to, as you pointed out, what is basically a ‘tzatziki sauce’ in a meal format. And adding them to something with bacon has me fighting myself too. But I knew logically it would work despite my instinct saying “Noooo!”

    Sour cream has the probiotics too. Sour cream and yogurt are incredibly close. Not even cousins. Brothers. One fermented hot. The other cold. They even share some of the same microbes.



  • I’d up the bacon next time. I made it without the craisins but found that it needed some kind of bite other than the lemon so I added them.

    Once my wife said sunflower seeds it was immediately evident that they would offer the right tooth and flavor to complement everything else.

    Install it was good. But I can see how it would be better. I could even see a vegetarian version that uses sun dried tomatoes instead of bacon.
