corn in crock pot

Why is this recipe even here?  Blame the advertisements and the idiots.  Why the first 3 pages of google searches are full of unrelated and unwanted videos is beyond me.  And why the idiots think you need to dirty another pot to ‘start’ the recipe is just, well, stupid.

Maybe we’ll try to refine the search.  Try “frozen corn slow cooker -creamed -cob”.  Now we get chowders and cheesy on the first 3 pages.

UNCLE.  I’ll add my own.

bug bite relief

  • 1 Tbl bentonite clay
  • 2 drops lavender essential oil
  • 2 drops frankincense essential oil
  • fractionated coconut oil or aloe vera gel

In a small glass bowl, add bentonite clay and essential oils. Using a spoon, slowly pour a little bit fractionated coconut oil or aloe vera; stir. You want the consistency to be a spreadable paste; not too liquified or not too thick. Continue to add desired liquid until you reach this consistency.

To apply: Using clean and dry hands, scoop a bit of clay with your finger and apply a nice even coat on bug bite. Allow to dry and then wipe off gently with a warm wash cloth. Apply as needed.

You can keep the extra paste in the refrigerator until you need to use it again. Allow to come to room temperature before applying.

  5. ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  6. ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
  7. ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  8. ¼ teaspoon dried sage
  9. ½ teaspoon white pepper
  10. ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  11. 2 cups buttermilk
For the seasoned flour
  1. 2 cups flour
  2. 1 teaspoon salt
  3. ½ teaspoon paprika
  4. ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  5. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  6. ½ teaspoon white pepper
  7. ½ teaspoon onion powder
  8. 2 ½ quarts peanut oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Toss together chicken pieces, black pepper, salt, paprika, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, white pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl to coat.
  2. Stir in buttermilk until chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 6 hours.
  3. Combine flour, salt, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, white pepper, and onion powder in a large shallow dish.
  4. Remove chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess and transfer to a plate.
  5. Heat peanut oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add all the chicken to the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
  6. Turn chicken pieces and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Remove chicken from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack set over a paper towel lined baking sheet. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
