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 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!

Thanks, sweetie! I've never personally made spaghetti squash because I'm
leery of it. I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet one of these days and
do it. Thanks for the reminder.

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.

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
products.

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.

I will... next time I fry chicken. I haven't fried chicken since some time
in the 1990's.

LOL I don't fry food, except to pan-fry tilapia or other quick-cooking fish
in a very little bit of oil. The first time I fried chicken pieces back in
1982 the oil popped and fused my silk blouse to my chest where the oil hit
me. Not a good experience Took me at least 15 years before I tried
frying chicken on the stove-top again. It's just not something I do.

That sounds really yummy, Kili! I very rarely fry chicken, but that
sounds like something worth trying. Maybe I could do an oven-fried
version.

You use fresh minced garlic, not garlic powder, yes?

Nope, actually we use garlic powder, but if you bake it? Why not use real?
I think baking would be wonderful.

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...

Shoots, I'd love to hear the report on the seafood! I hope tonight's dinner
turns out just as well or better than if you had gone out.

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.

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.

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 tart this afternoon which we'll probably dig

Ohhhh fried chicken has it's place too ;-). Actually this beef bourguignon
is heavenly but a huge pain in the a** to make. I've posted my recipe
before. Whenever I serve it to guests they always ask for the recipe but I
doubt any of them make it after reading the recipe. I devote a whole day to
cooking it after the meat, vegetables, herbs and seasoning marinate in red
wine for a day. Then separating the meat from the marinade and vegetables,
drying the meat on paper towels, browning the meat in several batches in
bacon fat and vegetable oil. Then cooking for a few hours, then separating
the meat *again* from the stewing liquid and the vegetables. Straining the
vegetables to extract all their flavor and discarding them. Then returning
the meat and strained stewing liquid back into the pot and adding peeled,
quartered potatoes. Cooking that till tender. Cook up more bacon till crisp.
Sauté mushrooms in the bacon fat, add that to the pot and simmer some more.
Add peeled baby onions and peas, simmer some more and serve topped with the
chopped crisp bacon.

I make this about 4 times per year and I bi*ch and moan every time but no
stew I've ever had packs this much flavor! It is also very nice to come home
from work, defrost a bag, heat and serve. I did the tomatoes that I used
in the tart last week. Slow cooking over low heat in the oven for several
hours along with herbs, garlic slices and some olive oil. They dry out
enough so that the tart doesn't get soggy. I cheated and used an all butter
purchased puff pastry though for the tart.

Kay, this sounds like the perfect recipe for me. It will keep me busy all
day (which means my friends can't come over because I'm busy) and it sounds
scrumptious. I'm gonna have to google your recipe, unless you want to
e-mail it to me?

I'm up for trying it!

I've e-mailed it to you. If you don't have demi-glace or glace de viande
you can omit it. I happen to have some in my freezer from another marathon
cooking session ;-).

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

LOL, you're welcome to come, any time.
Dinner turned out lovely. I didn't even manage the cheese and crackers,
shame on me. I've been under the weather, so that's probably it. But, for
dessert, I made this:

Mountainberry Crisp

6-8 large apples (I used Macintosh, Granny Smith, and Fuji)
1 pint blackberries (I used fresh)
1 pint raspberries (again, fresh)
3/4 cup sugar ( or Splenda for baking, see note)
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon (I love cinnamon, used about 2 tsp)
juice of 1/2 lemon
NOTE: If using Splenda, make sure you use the baking kind or the filling
won't thicken properly.
Combine, making sure sugar and flour are well mixed with the fruit. Top
with:

1 cup flour
1 1/3 c light brown sugar
1 cup oats
2 stick butter
I pulsed everything except 1/2 c oats in the processor until it looked
crumbly, like pie dough. Then mixed in the remaining oatmeal.

Spread crumb mixture over fruit and bake in a 375* oven for 55 minutes. Top
will be deep golden brown and filling will be bubbly. Cool slightly and top
with cinnamon or vanilla bean ice cream.

It turned out delicious, and I'm planning on having a couple bites in the
morning before class!
Well, without the ice cream

Dunno what I am having. Went shopping. I have some chicken, pork chops,
ground beef, sirloin beef medallions, and ham in the fridge. Have fresh
veggies, and salad fixings. Lots of ingredients for sauces and the like.
But.. I have had a busy weekend, concert, wedding, dance, and walkathon...
so brain is yelling eat out.. eat out.. no dishes or mess to clean up. lol
Might let the grandson decide when I pick him up from his lifeguard course.

That will probably be the choice made.. especially if I phrase the question
correctly to him. :-)

I took a last look at my painting show this afternoon (Everybody sing:
"The party's over...") and didn't get back till pretty late. Ergo
late dinner.

I have Brussels sprouts in the oven with Dijon mustard and soy sauce
and olive oil. I'm about to zap some frozen broccoli stems and pieces
with oil and soy. Out on the gas grill I have a whole chicken going.
I stuffed fresh basil under the skin along with a
garlic/chipotle/lemon paste I had left from last night's dinner.

The chicken came with two livers and a heart which I simmered till
they were done: Category 5 dog snax! I have to bribe the dachshund to
pee outside these days. It's not so bad except when she takes a dump
next to the grill.

A new grocery store in my neighborhood had frozen roasted duck halves. So
I'm having creamed cabbage, roasted duck, and wide egg noodles with poppy
seeds and butter. Apple juice to drink.

Bob

It's now Monday night here

We had sauteed flattened chicken breast rolled in breadcrumbs
flavoured with parmesan cheese and pasta tossed in a mixture of halved
cocktail tomatoes, olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, basil and
s&p.
