  1. I need a nap, but I'm thinking about fried chicken. Got a large chicken at
    WalMart for $.67 cents a pound. It's easy to cut out the backbone and chop
    it up, so I'm thinking I'll dredge it in a cornmeal mix after chopping it
    and I'll fry it up.

    Can do a salad on the side, peas or okra. Have some catfish, too, but it's
    an either or deal. I'm craving fried chicken.

    What's everybody else having?

    I'm wanting french dip roast beef but also watching the Eagles vs.
    Raiders and rootin' for the Raiders, in Eagles territory, so I don't
    know if I'll make it to the kitchen after the game, alive.

    Happy fried chicken!

    I'm still using up leftovers from your beloved sloppy joes. 😉 I had made a
    large pan of the meat mixture. Then I turned some of the leftover mixture
    into a chili-mac casserole with macaroni and some cheese. I used the rest
    of the chili-spiced meat mixture yesterday to make a medium-sized pot of
    chili. So I figure I'll be eating more chili tonight. I didn't get around
    to making cornbread so I'll have some corn chips on the side. The weather
    cooled off so the windows are open (yes, it's raining); I don't want to heat
    the oven and warm the place up as long as I can enjoy having the windows
    open without sweating.

    Your fried chicken sounds pretty good, although I've never had it prepared
    with a cornmeal coating mixture. I actually like oven-fried chicken (not
    when I don't want to use the oven) coated with those instant potato flakes.
    It wouldn't fry well, though, and of course potatoes (even the fake ones)
    and flour are mostly a no-no in your house.

    We were going to go have dinner at this seafood place nearby that my FIL
    (in-laws are here visiting from CA) absolutely loves, but a lot of the
    restaurants in this area aren't back up and running yet after Rita, so
    I've got some pork tenderloins marinating in a lemon/oil/garlic/spices
    mixture. We'll grill those tonight and have them with brown rice pilaf,
    a salad, and some sort of veggie (to be decided on later). Rockfish
    Seafood will have to wait til tomorrow night...

    Well I had a 4 egg cheese omlete for lunch...But I have a picnic roll pork
    shoulder in the crockpot for supper...It's been cooking since 8AM this
    morning...I'm not to sure which veggies I'll cook for supper with it
    though.

    Oooh, that sounds good, how large is it and did you put anything
    into the crockpot with it? I would like to make that later this week.
    It's getting cooler and I'm feeling like cooking more.

    I put the picnic roll in the crockpot. I sprinkle on the dreaded onion soup
    powder mix and I let it go...Oh! fat side up. No liquids no trivets, just
    the Picnic roll. I let her cook about 6 hrs on high or 10+ hours on low.

    Makes for a good ham feast for supper and meat for lunches for most of the
    week. So next week for lunch I'll be doing chef salads, ham stir
    fries...ham and cheese style casseroles and ham and grilled zuchinni or
    asparagus.

    I made a large batch of beef bourguignon yesterday. I froze most of it but
    will be serving some tonight with buttered egg noodles. I also made an oven
    dried tomato, chevre and herb [censored] this afternoon which we'll probably dig
    into.

    About 7-8 lbs (The label IIRC said 3.27 kilograms). Comes in a net bag
    inside of a vaccumed sealled plastic bag...usually close to the real hams
    in the meat section. I like it because it's easy, real cheap and tastes
    great. I do remove all wrappings before I cook it.

    There was this commercial on foodtv yesterday, I wasn't
    paying attention until I heard the voice say something about
    making sloppy joe mac ... hey, that's Jill's recipe! It was a
    recipe for Krafts, so I assume Manwich is one of their

    You've got to try the cornmeal mixture. Gosh, it's so much better than
    anything you can buy! All we do is cornmeal mix, garlic, pepper and a
    little salt and it gets so nice and crispy! It's absolutely yummy.

    Lunch is hit or miss...don't know if I'll be eating it or not. More likely
    than not, I'll slice off a few hunks of the longhorn Colby I got in

    Dinner, penne pasta with sun dried tomatoes, grilled turkey tenderloin, and
    a parmesan cream sauce. Prolly a few veggies too.

    I'm still procastinating even though between posts the salsa is almost
    ready to go on too cook. What you could do is sub the spaghetti with
    spaghetti squash then top with tomato sauce. It is a fair imitation of
    regular spaghetti while being low carb and vegetarian. It makes for a
    real cheap meal! Just in case you don't know how to cook it, cut in
    half and remove any seeds. Place cut side down in pan with water.
    Bring to a boil then let squash steam a little. Using a fork remove the
    spaghetti squash which will resemble regular spaghetti. Top with your
    favourite sauce. Oh kili, I was going to tell you I regularly check the
    vegetarian websites and newsgroups because they have great ways to do
    veggies for something a little different. Since you are doing the low
    carb thing it might be an idea for you. They come up with some really
    neat ideas!

    It's chilly, rainy and crappy here, which ruined my Sunday gardening plans.
    I'm cooking up a big pot of chili. I hesitate to call it poblano chili but
    I've some poblanos and a couple of habanero left to add to the pot. I'll
    post a pic when it's done on abf. I'm thinking some jalapeno cornbread and
    a salad to go with. That should use up just about all my peppers.
