What did everyone have for Labor Day or over Labor Day weekend?
For Labor Day, I didn't really have a "balanced" meal, but a good Southern meal. I "brined" some chicken in salt water, hot sauce and crab boil, coated it in flour seasoned with salt and pepper and fried it. It was the best fried chicken I've ever had. I don't love chicken, but this chicken meat had great flavor. We had cornbread salad,speckled butter beans, corn on the cob and blackberry cobbler.
During the rest of the weekend, we had fried fish, steamed crab claws, cast iron skillet seared beef filets with blue cheese butter, creamed spinach and chicken and andouille gumbo. Nothing too unusual, but we ate well and had a good time!
