Last Tuesday’s terrific dinner guest was the longtime faithful friend we call Mookie. Always upbeat and full of wit, he’s also quick to offer kind words about whatever’s on the menu, which the resident kitchen meddler happily receives. That evening we had the longtime Roediger House favorite Not So Cajun Chicken, served over fresh-steamed white rice in bowls, for keeping it all awash in that ridiculous sauce. We scarfed it down, perhaps because it was tasty, or perhaps so we could launch our movie-watching endeavor: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (notably directed by my classmate from the UNC-Chapel Hill Class of 1987, Peyton Reed).
I had some dessert for us, though: Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream. Oooh, that's good stuff.
"Not So Cajun Chicken," a dish I regularly enjoyed at Crowley's Old Time Favorites restaurant and bar on Medlin Drive in Raleigh, NC. (Another version of the recipe can be found here.) A heap of thanks is due to Jimmy Randolph for tracking down the recipe for me.
