Hey there fellas....happy Friday
Made some homemade panko breaded chicken breasts last night. Three stage with an egg wash. Did it on the grill...I have a dedicated grill pan which is a stainless heavy bottom pot that we throw right on the grill to do things outside. It was nice out and didn't wanna smell the house up, so we did it on the grill. You can literally cook just about anything on the grill with the right gear. Also whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Sorry for the bad pic through the oven window as that's the best I could get.
Also wanted to share a cool little 2:20 video. I am a Dream Theater NUT. I have seen em 14 times, have the Majesty symbol tattooed huge on my forearm and I am a 25 year guitar player. The guitarist in the band, John Peter Petrucci, July 12, 1967, is considered one of the best guitar players in the world....and I have a serious man crush on this man. Huge. For 23 years I have been a loyal fan and been completely captivated and moved by them like no other band ever has gotten to me. They are literally camped out in a cabin right now as I type this. They have been there since late May and just finished writing a new album, together, holed up in this cabin. After they finished writing, which was a couple weeks ago, they came back earlier this week and turned the freaking cabin into a full fledged state of the art recording studio to record the new record. Sweet and quite unexpected. Petrucci made a Twitter post earlier today called Drums & Thighs. They started actually recording, which starts with drums playing to a click track, and since he isn't a drummer, it was a lazy day at the ole shack....so why not smoke some badass chicken thighs for the band?? Love it. He is as much of a foodie as I am. I tell you what, playing an instrument and studying someone's lifelong work will really plant a deep connection. And his music is about as deep and moving as music can get...so it's quite a personal subject. Also, when I was in my 20s, I used to take a lot of ecstacy and would listen to whole DT albums back to back....5 in row...that seems to put the music in a different part of your brain. That's what my friend thinks...between that and the guitar, I have like a spirit bond with JP. Lol. Weirdo myself. If ya made it this far congrats...if not then, your mom. Hah. Here it is if ya got two minutes and change, I present Drums & Thighs:
THEY'RE called KAAAAHBS Joe's dad's stuff
