I've got chicken in buttermilk overnight for southern fried chicken tomorrow. Daughter is making spicey beef wraps with hummus and Tzatziki . It's 4 Pm here on Friday so we will be eating in an hour or two.

Tonight was cobbled together from some prefab ingredients; namely, jarred pesto and frozen cheese ravioli.

A meat free meal? Looks good.

I had heard of marinating then freezing before. Supposed to pick up more flavor. After trying it I’m sold.

I wonder if this would work for chicken too? I mean the technique of marinating then freezing.

Last night was loaded skins and grilled wings. The wings were marinated Italian parsley, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil.

Those skins look great, I could munch some of those now

I've frozen raw chicken in the marinade before and it was very good after defrosting and cooking. Possibly better than the original.

[Edit: it may have been shashlik - I can't find it now]

I have chicken in "hot butter chicken" marinade currently in the freezer now. Probably be a couple of weeks before I check that out.

Lunch today was tuna and black olives in tomato sauce..and since I had a bit of rigatoni and a bit of penne to finish, I cooked both.

Penne are a little overwhelmed by the rigatoni, but they are there

And here's what I did with an apple... I simply cut it into chunks (not too small), sautéed them in a pan for 3 or maybe 4 minutes with a bit of unsalted butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon powder. I didn't add sugar because tasting a piece of apple I have realized they didn't need it, they were already sweet enough.
I sprinkled just a little bit of icing sugar at the end.
