Chicken soup started (8-quart pot)




One and a half hours later, ready for the freezer
Meat from the wings without skin and bone reserved for the soup. And the carrots.

Do you fry or do you bake the "fries" (chips to you Brits, LOL)?  I have recently discovered that baking them at 500F for 15 minutes (shaken in olive oil and then sprinkled with coarse salt, minced garlic and onion, and paprika) comes out best.

And you guys called crisps 'chips', LOL.

I've been doing chips lately with the air fryer and they come out as nice as oven chips. I can do them longer and get them really crispy.

Yeah, nothing like "French Fries", invented by the Dutch, and adopted by the Brits as "chips" when everyone should know that "chips" are actually thin slices of potato that were created by some chef in New York City who was frustrated by a socialite's demand for thinner and crispier  slices and finally said "I'll give her THIN and CRISP!"  And she loved them...

Thereby launching generations of bad-for-you snacks of various salt-drenched flavors of virtually no nutritional value.

My gf had both her first day of work after two months holiday. (She's a kindergarten teacher.) As well as her birthday.

I took a day off to clean the house so she would come back to a clean place, and decided to cook up a three-course dinner.

For starters: Melon and shrimp salad (with added yellow paprika), with a vinaigrette sauce


The sauce was store bought in this one.

For the main course: Meatballs in tomatosaus


I did mash too, but that didn't look too well and I threw away what was left. This portion is going into the freezer. I feel I got the seasoning right.

And for desert: Torta di cioccolato Tipa Truffe:


You can serve this with whipped cream. Or with ice-cream, like I did. Another popular option seems to be to put icing sugar on the top.
I wanted mine to rise a bit more and to fall down in the middle, but this is not a bad first try for me.
