To get the girl:

I used two chicken fillets, wrapped them in serrano ham, in the frying pan on high temperature for about a minute on each side, then in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.

Chopped a couple of decent sized sweet potatoes so I got sweet potato fries. Put them in a plastic bag with cooking oil and different kinds of seasoning (inkl. cayenne pepper).

Spread them evenly on a cooking tray, in the oven for about 20 minutes on high temperature. Made sure I got a bit of burnt crust on them.

Served it with a fresh salad (apple, grapes, red pepper) and yoghurt natural.

The next morning I made her breakfast:

Scrambled eggs (with a bit cayenne- and allround seasoning), Honeydew Melon, peaches, red pepper and a couple of loaves of whole-wheat bread.

Served it with a cold glass of orange juice.

okay so for those that want to try to make a chicken and sausage gumbo...

for first time i would suggest just buying a jar of roux (http://www.karysroux.com/products.html) instead of trying to make your own roux

you will need a really big stock pot (i've only ever used a 14 qt magnalite) fill to just shy of half w/ water. Bring to boil. Add roux. Stirring constantly until all roux is dissolved. You should end up with a really dark brown color. no i don't know water to roux ratio. Just keep adding roux until you get the right color. the more roux you use, the dark and thicker your gumbo will be. once all roux is dissolved and color/thickness is right, season with salt and pepper...i use tony chachere to season (http://www.tonychachere.com/). oh and after i add my roux to boiling water, while that is going, i brown the cut up chicken (that is also seasoned w/ tony's) and the smoked sausage (it's not easy finding real cajun smoked sausage outside of louisiana but if you can, it makes a huge difference). you just want to sear it not really cook it long time. then add in the meat and chopped onions, green bell peppers, garlic, celery (if u are one of those ppl, i'm not). Now you just sit back and let it boil on low for about an hour, stirring occasionally. be careful not to leave it alone too long or on too high or it can quickly boil over. it will thicken and darken the longer you cook it. about 15 min before it is finished, i add in green onion tops. Also if you are feeling really adventurous and want to go all cajun, in last 15 min, turn up on high and bring to boil and add in a few eggs. being really careful when u crack them and drop slowly into boiling gumbo so the egg stays mostly together and doesn't break apart. serve over cooked rice in bowl. i always have with a potato salad on the side, some cajuns put scoop of potato salad in bowl w/ gumbo. oh and if you have gumbo filé, i always sprinkle a bit on top of my bowl. bon appetit mon ami. XD

This weekend I am doing Gumbo and smoked brisket. I will most likely make brisket chili Tues or Wed of next week.

Here is the Gumbo so far

Canned Roux? I am irish and that just sounds horrible, it is easy to do just takes patience.

This is dinner over rice and still has an hour to go. It is Paula Deen's recipe.

Here is the brisket getting ready, mustard bath and then spice rub.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
