What are you favorite cheap wow eats when marathon gaming in World of Warcraft, when Cheetos and Soda will not do?
I usually make a large batch of these and portion them out and freeze most of them.
Spicy Chicken Gizzards
1 lb of Chicken Gizzards, Cleaned and Rinsed
1 Pint of Buttermilk
1 cup of All purpose flour
1 tbs of Onion Powder
1 tbs of Garlic Powder
1 tsp of Black pepper
1/2 tsp of Cayenne Pepper (if you like it spicy)
1/2 tsp of salt
1 cup Sliced Jalapeno Rings
Clean and rinse the gizzards, then put them in a gallon freezer bag, add the butter milk and let it marinate for a few hours or a day.
Make the flour mixture, add the flour, Onion powder, Garlic Powder Black Pepper, Salt, and if you are feeling adventurous, the cayenne pepper, to a gallon freezer bag.
Remove the gizzards from the buttermilk and add them to the flour mixture, add the jalapenos slices if you want too. Shack well
I pan fry fry mine in an iron skillet, but you can use a deep fryer if you have one. In a frying pan, add about an 1" or so of oil and heat it up. Slowly add the coated gizzards to the oil and fry to golden brown, making sure to flip them to cook both sides.
Remove from oil onto a plate with a paper towel. While still hot, spinkle a tad of salt.
Enjoy.
It’s not a healthy meal (it’s fried!), but quite chewy and tasty, and somewhat cheap to make. I usually have most of the ingredient on hand, except the buttermilk and gizzards. I hit the grocery store about once a month and by a few pounds of gizzards. I find them great on Saturdays when gaming .
I make a giant bowl of pasta salad, it usually lasts less than a week but it’s something I can make in large amounts, store easy, and just scoop in a bowl and eat. Or eat it right out of the giant bowl. I like black olives, peas, capers, chives, and diced tomatos in my pasta salad. I usually get six flavor bow tie pasta, for presentation. Even though I’m the only one who eats it… and it’s just pasta salad.
I also recently acquired like three different deviled egg trays so I usually try to keep deviled eggs in my fridge at least once a week. But they usually don’t last. Don’t know why but deviled eggs are always the first to go.
I dunno about what to binge on while marathonning wow but if I want cheap and bulk I just do fried rice via 20 lb bulk bag of rice and throw in whatever veggies I’m feeling at the time.
I don’t eat near my computer. The amount of ick that could get into the keyboard makes my skin crawl a bit.
Instead I typically find myself drinking relatively large amounts of water or an herbal tea of some sort while I play. It’s currently a green tea but earlier in the month I had this pomegranate and raspberry mix.
When it gets cold (wintery) out I like to make pots of knoephla (pronounced nef-la) soup… It is basically a cream of potato dumpling soup. That with a nice piece of crusty garlic bread I’m good.
if I get hungry I get off the computer haha
for a couple of deviled eggs, they’re the bomb!
