I cut the bread about 9 p.m. and have eaten three pieces with butter already. God, I love this bread. It is so filled with flavor, and the crumb is amazingly soft. Just a bit of butter and a glass of Vernors, and I'm in heaven. Urp!

Well, I was going to do the Reuben meatloaf today, but I got sidetracked with shopping, so I stopped at a little joint called The Hickory Pit and got some ribs and cold veg salad to go.. however, I could only eat half of what is plated, as I scoffed down 3 of Jev's sticky buns that arrived in the mail earlier this afternoon.
They are FABULOUS!

Well, it was going to be Betty Crocker's recipe for skillet lasagna, but I am working on oven fried chicken and a creamy macaroni salad, that is, if I can stay off the damn forum long enough to get it done... that AND my laundry... tsk tsk..

I don't feel like eating anything tonight. Think I got me a flu on the horizon. Maybe a Hot Brandy Coke n Honey is on the agenda. Got me all the ingredients ready to go. I will be in the sack by 9:00. No I don't even think I am going to watch the Bears manhandle the Vikings tonight.

I hope you don't have anything like that coming on Steve.

I nixed the lasagna in favour of something less spicy since my stomach was rolling just a few days ago.

Hopefully with the chick not being deep fried, it'll be kind to my tummy..

Wanna pickle? lol

Over easy eggs on buttered 12 grain toast, center cut bacon and bakey beanies...

The best breakfast out there is beans, hash browns or fried tators and sausage. And you mix them all together like your out on a camp fire or trail ride.

Turkey. Mother in Law got me one of them turkey deep fryers for Christmas so I am going to try my luck. They recommend Peanut oil which is dang expensive. It is $17.00 per gallon and I figure I will need about 4 gallons. You can re-use the oil but can only keep it for about 60 days. Vegetable oil much cheaper I found on the internet you can use that also but you may want to keep the temperature down some with it.

Will post pics as I go.

I like mine simple . The spicy chicken is all we used . I love the crunchy texture of the lettuce with the sweetness of the spiced Chicken . It just makes the meal come together very nice . A good glass of wine would even make it better ,but that ain't on my list of approved drinks to have .



Who says you have to eat crap with low calorie foods !!!:clap:I ate less than 200 calories in that whole meal !!!

I cram mine with swiss cheese sticks, celery, carrot and onion, then wrap them up like burritos and drizzle with honey mustard vinaigrette.
They are low fat too, sloppy and fun to eat lol
