You either love’m or hate’m! I found them quite tasty, but not crispy. I may try baking them next time.
I used a large turnip and tried to cut it into equal fry-like pieces. I deep fried mine, but the most popular way to cook them seems to be to bake them with parmesan cheese and spices. Yum!

well, boring to me anyway. That’s where he got the inspiration and recipe for this Jambalaya.
.
That he is holding a spoon in his hand and putting this dish together all by himself is totally amazing!
.
When it comes to grilling, he’s a pro…but to actually cook something in a pot that has lots of ingredients?! I’m impressed. 
.
Love you, baby! Keep up the good work.
…
What’s that famous saying…”Make Jambalaya. They will come.” Just kidding. I made that up.
.
Nevertheless, it’s true! This is some good stuff.

Sausage and chicken thighs simmering in the dutch oven.

Here he’s added the peppers, onions, and spices.

Right after adding the chicken broth, tomato paste, and rice.

….and the finished dish…

Handyman’s Jambalaya
(Sorry, he doesn’t do a lot of measuring, but these are the basic steps he follows.)
6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1 lb polish or cajun spiced smoked sausage
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
oil for cooking meat, maybe 1 tablespoon
spices, 1-2 dashes of each:
salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, cajun spice, chili powder,
3 cups chicken stock or boullion
3 cups instant rice (long grain will work, adjust the liquid)
In a large dutch oven add the oil and over med- high heat, cook the chicken and sausage until done. You might need to check the chicken to be sure after about 20 minutes.
Add the chopped pepper, onion, and spices. Continue cooking until the veggies appear to be tender, maybe another 10-15 minutes, watch carefully and stir often to avoid sticking.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the rice. Cook until the rice is tender. Let set for about 10 minutes before serving.

It was a weeknight and I was wanting a simple supper, something that didn’t involve messing up a bunch of mixing bowls, pots and pans, and dinner plates. I didn’t feel like the clean-up.
So I picked up some burgers, already pre-formed! I was looking for easy, too. I glanced at the prices of the french fries in the freezer section and remembered the half bag of whole potatoes I had at home just waiting to be turned into delicious homemade fries.
As I went through my mental list at the grocery, I picked up some buns, a Vidalia onion, some iceburg lettuce (I know), and some hamburger sliced dill pickles, our favorite.
When we arrived home, my Grillmaster set about preparing the grill…charcoal only for him. I prepared the condiments for the burgers and my youngest daughter scrubbed and helped slice the potatoes for the fries.
What a meal! I took my mom (who is fighting cancer, on a bunch of meds, and nothing tastes good) a burger. She ate half of it and declared it was the tenderest grilled burger she’d ever had.
I know the cheese is not melted. Poor fellow, I forgot to give it to him and it never entered his mind to put some cheese on the burgers those last few seconds on the grill. So when he brought them in, I took a few of the hottest ones and threw some cheese on them.

TIP: When we light the grill, we usually do enough meat and veggies for more than one meal. This night we grilled a huge pack of barbequed chicken legs and some deer tenderloin wrapped with bacon to have another time. Leftover grilled goodies make for a quick and easy lunch!

In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose medium crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Just before the final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this), add the pepperoni. Yield: 1 loaf (about 1-1/2 pounds).
