Wouldn’t ya know it. THE most gorgeous day of the year, I have two HUGE bone-in chicken breasts with a pomegranate bbq sauce ready to go on the grill and… we run out of propane. The downside of grilling year-round is using the grill year-round. You just never know when the thing is gonna call it quits. (I know, I know, I can get those little strips that you pour water on and/or gauges and all that stuff.) I doubt if I will…
Since we were both hungry, I decided against heading out to get more gas today. Instead, I turned the bottom oven up to 425° and in went the nicely basted chicken. The upper oven already held the baked beans and the potatoes at a respectable 350°.
The spuds were drizzled with olive oil and a bit of garlic. The beans were my sister Phoebe’s recipe. The BBQ sauce was a couple of tablespoons of pomegranate molasses mixed with some store-bought sauce (without high-fructose corn syrup, thankyouverymuch)!!!
And we have cupcakes for dessert.
Which reminds me…
I made cupcakes yesterday for dessert. I haven’t made cupcakes in a really long time, but thought that their pint-sized portions were just what the doctor ordered.
We have plenty of cupcake liners in the house, but I thought that they’d be better right out of the pan. I greased the cupcake pans really well, baked off the little buggers, and they stuck like there’s no tomorrow. I mean, glued-to-the-pan stuck.
Not about to let a little something like totally ruined cupcakes get in the way of dessert, I reworked them just a bit…
The tops came off so I dug out the bottoms, put ’em upside down on the plate, used chocolate frosting to glue ’em back together, and put a plop of icing on top.
They may not be much to look at, but they sure do taste good!

I think cupcakes are like cake, and you have to grease and flour the pan…..or they stick.
A co-worker’s mother has opened a cupcake shop, I’ll ask her. I bet she’ll know for sure.
Ya know… If I had been using my old cupcake tins I would have greased and floured without batting an eye.
These pans are a really heavy silverstone-ish that seem almost non-stick. I use them at work all of the time with just a bit of cooking spray with no problems.
I’m going to find some nice commercial muffin tins and not have any more problems! 🙂
