A picnic wouldn’t be a picnic without crispy fried chicken. This rendition will knock your socks off. The chicken is soaked in a hot sauce and buttermilk mixture overnight before it’s fried. Don’t be uneasy about the amount of hot sauce. I promise a lot of the heat is cooked off during frying and the flavor is great.
Yummy-ummy recipe. Makes two loaves versatile dough which adapts well to use for rolls, coffee cake, and braids.

One of the most common questions I hear from people who are interested in freezer-meal cooking is: “How do I know what will freeze well, and what won’t?”
If you’re unsure of how well something will freeze, freeze a single serving when you prepare the dish for a regular family meal. This way you can check on how well the item holds up to freezing and reheating.

Pantry: A room or cupboard for storing food, usually dry goods. Most foods to be stored will be dried, packaged, bottled, canned, foods that do not require refrigeration.
This recipe calls for a beef rump roast, a cut that comes from the hind leg. Because the leg has been toughened by exercise, a rump roast is less tender than some cuts and is typically slow-cooked in stock or wine along with vegetables and herbs. Here, the roast is prepared in a pressure cooker, which speeds the process but still produces juicy, flavorful results.
Modern pressure cookers are a far cry from earlier models, which emitted smelly vapors that condensed on everything in sight. Even worse, they could be dangerous. Our updated speed cookers are models of efficiency and safety, with lids that remain locked until after the steam is released. They reduce cooking times by as much as 70 percent for most foods—and without the loss of nutrients. Beans, which ordinarily require hours of cooking, are tender in fewer than 15 minutes; a pot of chili, in 20 minutes. In some cases, pressure cooking is actually faster than microwave cooking: Cooked under pressure, artichokes are done in only 10 to 14 minutes, compared to 40 to 45 minutes in a microwave.
