Cooking with Jess!

Hello! And welcome to cooking with Jess! Today, we will be making the following items for Casey's birthday dinner:

Fried Chicken
Green Bean Casserole
Mashed Potatoes (from scratch)
Gravy (also from scratch)
German Chocolate Cake (not from scratch)

Feel free to ask how the hell am I going to make fried chicken because I haven't figured that one out yet. I will, however, be attempting it and I hope that it turns out yummy because Casey's parents are coming for dinner, too, and well... yeah, I want to make a good impression.

I will also be making some patacones (Panamanian style fried plantain) and empanadas as appetizers. Tasty. Although, somehow I'm thinking the patacones are going to be gone before everyone gets here. Hee hee.
