Chicken & Waffles Lasagna (kinda)



In case you didnt know I'm a master chef now. Every Sunday I try to cook a big meal that takes me a long time to make. It helps distract me from how pathetic and hungover I usually feel.


Okay so lets get into it. First step was flattening the chicken so it would be thinner for the lasagna. Then I mixed butter milk, hot sauce, onions and garlic and let the chicken sit in that as I watched the yankees struggle to get hits with runners in scoring position.

Then I mixed all these seasonings together. No clue what any of these things do really. But I guess when you mix them together you get a southern fried chicken recipe.






Next step. Take the chicken out of the brine. I didnt shake them off or dry them that much. Feel like I probably should have done that. Don't know.

Dip it in the flower.

Dip it in the egg/hotsauce mixture.

Dip it back in the flower.






TIME TO FRY!

The first time I ever tried to fry something. I dropped the chicken in and it went instantly black. I learned not to make it too hot. Fail forward!




I needed to make a sauce to give it flavor. Debated whether it should be maple syrup based, or mustard based, or something else. In the end I went with mustard. Reason being, to make a lasagna you need cheese. It's what holds everything together. I made pad thai lasagna a couple weeks ago and didn't use cheese cause asians don't use cheese and it didn't hold at all. So since cheese is a must have I went with mustard. Maple syrup and cheese didn't sound like a good mix.

I mixed. Cholula chili garlic hot sauce, spicy brown mustard, and honey. It was quite good.



I used eggo waffles cause eggo waffles are the best waffles and if you disagree with that, thats fine you can have your own opinion.

Trying to stack the layers was when things got dicey and I started doubting everything. Clearly a lasagna wouldn't work. It would be half a foot tall. So basically what I did was make a double decker chicken and waffle sandwich with an open top. Whatever it worked.






Final result. It was delicious. It was hot...cause of all the hot sauce. It was a good hangover cure.

Okay! If you want to follow along with the cooking as it happens next Sunday you can follow me on snap chat. user name is "taste"

A Look back at the fun I had with Tinder a couple years ago



Over the weekend my friends and I went down to North Carolina for a little vacation. We had a blast at the beach and local museums and tourist destinations. Just joking, we sat around on Tinder all day. If you don't know what Tinder is, this website will help you find out.

Any way, basically I was trying to see how ridiculous i could get and still get these strangers to respond to me. 



Lets start with Megan. Megan and I talked about vacations in Jamaica and my legless brother.






Next came Victoria. Victoria was RELENTLESS. She just kept on responding. She also helped me save a friendship with my lactose intolerant friend Nick.









Mackenzie helped settle a bet that ended up getting Ken really hurt.










Meredith wasn't shy about her racism, so I thought I'd try to dig deeper into that









Chloe was actually very attractive and apparently the nicest girl ever. Either that or she called my bluff perfectly. ASL means American Sign Language








Maria initiated conversation with me and we bonded over our lazy eyes.









Now here are all the girls that were smart enough to never respond and hopefully block me.
