Garlic Lemon Chicken

Tonight I'm doing garlic lemon chicken, with goose fat roasted potatoes and sauteed cabbage. Should be easy enough. Gives me an excuse to use up some of that cup of goose fat I accumulated, and the cabbage is like, 10 minutes tops to done. As for the chicken, we're quite low on garlic and I actually do not have any chicken broth at the moment, but I'll substitute white wine instead and it should be fine. This is what I get for shopping for garlic at Hyvee, where the bulbs have like 5 cloves in them, rather than Dillon's or Hen House, where the bulbs have reliably at least 15.

Fusilli with Caraway, Cabbage and Ham

I am the slackiest slacker that ever slacked! I cooked tonight, it's sort of German and was quite tasty. Here's the recipe:

Fusilli with Caraway, Cabbage and Ham

3 slices thick-cut bacon
Canola oil
2 lb onions, sliced thinly
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
4 cups shredded cabbage
1 1/2 cups diced smoked ham
12 oz fusilli
1/3 cup Parmesan
Beef broth as needed
Salt/pepper

In a very large skillet, cook bacon over medium-heat until crisp and brown. Set aside to drain. Add enough canola oil to the skillet to equal 1/4 cup fat. Add onions and caraway seeds and saute 20 minutes or until well-browned. Add cabbage and ham, saute 8 minutes or until cabbage is wilted. Meanwhile, cook fusilli in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain pasta, add to onion mixture. Add Parmesan and crumbled bacon, mix well. Add beef broth as needed if mixture looks dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
