Ina In A Year: Week 46

August 19, 2019 · In: Chronicles, Ina

WHAT HAPPENED

This week my youngest, Lillian, turned ten. Since Timm was out of town on his birthday, we made it a double birthday celebration with a big family dinner featuring Ina’s Fried Chicken Sandwiches from Cook Like A Pro. They were a hit!

We also began the final run of Ina Lunches at Hurley House. It felt better than I expected to dive back in. The muscle memory was astounding. I am contemplating whether or not a lunch like this should be an ongoing thing that we offer. They are so special and different, and I love doing them.

Since the last time I had roasted a chicken, we had hired a few new staff members in the kitchen. This was their first time tasting it, and I loved watching them fall in love with it the way we all have.

WHAT I LEARNED

CAPE COD CHOPPED SALAD.
This is a delicious combination of autumn flavors. If arugula isn’t your thing, it would be just as delicious with spinach. The maple vinaigrette with the apple, blue cheese, and walnuts is a win.

BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES.
This is a tasty spin on a classic. I loved it with the roasted chicken.

BAKED SHRIMP SCAMPI.
I made this on a weeknight with frozen shrimp, skipped the butterflying, and just went with it. It worked and proved to be a tasty weeknight dinner served over rice. My kids gobbled it up, and as far as effort goes, it was very bare bones. The shrimp needed a longer cook time than the recipe called for because they weren’t “artfully arranged,” but that seemed like a small price to pay for a simple supper.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICHES.
Awesome. The chicken is very flavorful and very crunchy. I made these for a large family gathering, and the secret was to finish up the frying before everyone arrived. Because they were going into a sandwich, it wasn’t necessary for the chicken to be hot, which made this a very convenient crowd-pleaser. The pickles, the lettuce, the buttermilk herb mayo…it all works in a way that makes you remember why Ina is the best.
