Welcome back to another episode of Cookin with Fabes !
This time we have honored guest and fellow chef, L.Nelson and we're gettin on some classy shit ! I promised I won't swear too much this time. IT PAINS ME but I am a man of honor. Fuck. This is gonna be hard. Crap. Cripes ? Cripes. Tonight we are making a Mediterranean feast of sorts, Lemon Pepper chicken with homemade Tzatiki sauce (my contributions) along with a fantastic Tabouli (tah-boo-lay for the philistines not ta-BOO-lee) and some collard greens and beans.
Lets do this shizz.

I started with some dang tazitaki sauce. I love that stuff so much so I was really just jacked the heck up to MAKE SOME MYSELF.
LETS GET GREEKS.
GREEK YOGURT. SOUR CREAM. VINEGAR, OLIVE OIL, GARLIC, FRESH DILL shits real !
DAMMIT. crap.
Chop up some garlic. Mince that stuff. Mince the ship out of it. Mix olive oil, garlic and vinegar in a bowl ! Use like 4 bowls throughout the whole meal.
L.NELLS MAKING SOME GREENS WATER. VEGETABLES ? ON THIS BLOG ? we were all shocked.
Stab the water. The water owed you some money. The water should learn not to bet long on horses anymore. The water knows NOW.
Tzatiki sauce comin together nicely. DICE UP A CUCUMBER AND SLAP THAT SHIT IN THERE.
Nice composition bro. Scallions fo' days. One AND ONLY ONE lemon. Cooking in a real kitchen is so fucking awesome. DAMMIT. Cheese and rice this is hard.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEGETABLES. Artistry up in this ma.
NOW THAT IS SOME GOSH DAMP TABOULI. Just like mother makes.
Beans and greens ! Its good for you ! Its good for your soul.
CHICKEN N' ZIKI. A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN. Or at least in Geneva.
I almost forgot ! Our cooking beverage is some classy shit as well, a semi-dry reisling local to the area. WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BUYING LOCAL BOOZE ? *not ripping off epic meal time. not at all.
Slug it down ! For once your cooking drink is actually delicious and not maddeningly depressing. Not too sweet, notes of lake water and the absence of industry. A simmering cauldron of classism and disdain on the back palate. Tastes like grapes actually.
HOLY GODDAMN SHIT. Im sorry but I couldnt help myself. That is a classy table, well for a student cooked meal at least. We're on some Le Bernadin shit here. This is by far the best meal I have ever contributed to. Do the customary Cooking with Fabes victory jitterbug ! Try and find some more wine.
Thanks to Lisa for contributing !
