Shelter-in-place cooking

I got Mexican last night and a subway BMT tonight. Felt like taking a break. I was in a bigger town today and wanted some fast food to bring home. Burger King was 32 cars deep in the drive thru, Taco Bell was wrapped around the building, and arby's was 24 cars deep. Screw that, I got a sub in my little town.
My wife gives me crap about not waiting in line for food. I’ve done enough of that and no fast food is worth waiting more than ten minutes for.
 
I made chicken and elk taco meat enchiladas. I sauteed peppers and onions and garlic and tomatoes to go over the top along with sour cream. The only issue is that I forgot about them in the oven for a while and the cheese got overcooked. So, I deemed them to not be up to HT standards for dinner pics. But they were yummy and the crispy cheese was a nice texture surprise.
 
I cut up some wild turkey breast soaked about 3 hours in pickle juice and buttermilk. Rolled in the pictured batter. The wife and I liked the spicy the best.

Had shanks tonight. Smoked them for a couple hours first then braised them in coffee, shiner bock, and chicken stock for 2 more hours. Then took 2 cups of the braising liquid added some cornstarch to thicken and then served the sauce and shredded shank over some gnocchi.20200502_202446.jpg
 
I made some Tacos today, but I had a lot of headache making it. It was my first time cooking Taco and I haven’t enjoyed the process at all. The main problem for me was that I couldn’t understand when the meat was ready. Even then it became really small I had a feeling that it is still raw. I thought I definitely need a meat thermometer for future. I checked some sources like cookwarestuffs.com where many reviews of thermometers are written. Though I haven’t dared to order one yet.
