Sox -- yes please!

Kel and Barb...do either of you know how to make fried chicken?

Good afternoon, everybody! Whew...busy day. Errands to run, work out, and then a bit of post-Christmas cleaning has me pooped!
Sandy, that cabin is gorgeous!!I might load the pics into my computer for later reference in case we ever remodel the in laws' cabin...you all can have a huge get together of your friends in that thing (hint hint).
Barb, sorry you're feeling lowly...

I'm reading a book about how to talk to seniors, and it has given me a different perspective on my inlaws...helps me to 'walk in their shoes', so to speak. I look forward to reading the other two books I have on hand. I hope it can give me some patience and a better ability to communicate with them. They've been so wonderful to me my whole life...


I sure look forward to the January thaw coming!! wheee-hooo! I'm plum tired of this cold...

Well, hope all of you have a wonderful evening...stay safe!

I do! I do! I haven't made it in quite a while, though.

I tend to like boneless chicken.....really don't like any type of meat with bones in it.

Sox -- Have you been spying on me in the kitchen? I have made fried chicken once or twice but not for a long time. -- a really long time. Like Kelly, I use boneless chicken breasts with no skin. I usually bake it or grill it although occasionally I will saute it in olive oil. Saute sounds so much healthier than fried. I should have known that chicken at Planet Hollywood was fried; it was so good.

Good morning everyone! I woke up early, 5:00, and couldn't go back to sleep. UGH! Just putter around my house this morning. . . waiting for my yoga show to come on so I can do my yoga this morning.

Kelly, Barb, & Sox - I haven't made fried chicken in over 20 years! Like Barb, I do "saute" it in olive oil occasionally. It's not the same thing as deep fried chicken though. Most of the time I either bake it or buy it already cooked (when it's on sale). I also buy turkey breast already cooked and have been freezing portions of it. Since it is only me, I don't need the whole thing.

Debbie - I am glad you are finding the book helpful. Often, we need to take a step back and work on getting a different perspective, such as you are by reading the book. You are such a good DIL to take the time to do this as well as help them out.

Sandy - I thought you were moving here! There are ways to get rid of the scorpions. I haven't seen one in years.

Pam - I haven't sewn anything in years. In college, during summer break, I would sew a lot of my clothes as it was cheaper than buying them. A few months ago, DBF's neighbor across the street gave me a really nice industrial sewing machine that she didn't want anymore. I really need to put it to use and was thinking about it the other day. PJ pants are easy and would be a good start. Let us know how it goes.

Hi everyone else! Hope you all have a great day today!

I also could not sleep last nihgt so I finally gave up and got up awhile ago. I just have one class this morning (Congress) and then a dentist appointment this afternoon. So that is my exciting life. Temp's are supposed to be gradually increasing. Yeah! Maybe some of this snow and ice will melt!

Hey all,
Just busy! as always lol

Pam, your hubby migranes are from food allergies?? wow. Yes the neuro mentioned some migranes are without headaches and start with dots or some sort in vision. He gave me some samples of a migrane med. he wanted me to take the minute that eye blurs out and I feel off... but right away, he said if I feel any better difference this is probably migrane. But no such luck tried it with the last two spells... and no different/ my eyes just want to shut, my balance is way off, my mind is gone... just not there when this occurs at all.

My boss, has known about two times now that happened at work and concerned in the way if I can not find coverage as it happens all so fast...he would not want me to work with it, but can not leave store without coverage either.....

Thinking about it, I was having troubles few days before it, with balance and the stiffness worse and such... who knows... wish the doctors would know something!!

SAndy that cabin... or lets say log house is wonderful!! oh that is a great idea for the anniversary/honeymoon woohoooooo

Barb thanks for the note

hugss to all... hoping all start feeling better, I am in much the same boat as many ... fighting the pain of stiffness!! but keep smiling all, hugsss, sarah

oh make you giggle maybe,...

yesterday I was hear at puter, which is in kitchen... I had given Ciara and Maddie peanut butter sandwiches... at the counter... their was crayons near by.... and they seemed quiet while eating... I turn to look they have at least 15-20 crayons sticking into Maddies half sandwich... I was like hey what are you two doing? Ciara says, "Maddie did it" haha new creation PB and Crayon sandwiches!!

Kel and Barb...

You make it just like fried chicken but with boneless tenders or boneless
breasts, cut up in strips.

First ~season flour with garlic powder, salt and pepper

then~ beat one egg with a cup of milk

next~ for the breading you need 2 1/2 crushed fine Captn Crunch(measure
after you crush) and 1 cup of crushed corn flakes. This will coat one and
a half pounds of chicken/tenders. I usually at least triple it for my crew!

Thats it! dip in flour, then eggwash then Captn Crunch/corn flake mixture.
Fry as you would fry chicken.

We serve it with bbq sauce or honey mustard.

Enjoy!

Thanks Sox! I'll try it next time both boys are home to eat. It sounds really good. I used to have a deep fryer....one of those things with the basket that you just put the food in and submerge it into the oil. I don't know what happened to it but I don't have it anymore. I hardly ever fry anything but this recipe sounds really good. Sounds like it would be good baked, too.

Sarah, PB&C sandwiches?! Kids are so funny. I remember once when my oldest DS was almost 2 he got into the refrigerator and unwrapped several slices of cheese and stuck them to the refrigerator door! I couldn't get mad at him.....it was just too cute and he wasn't doing it to be naughty. He did get upset when I took them off, tho.....just couldn't understand why we couldn't leave them there!

Well, we're finally seeing the light at the end of this c-o-l-d tunnel we've been in. The temps are supposed to get into the 50's by the end of the week but a cold, rainy weekend is in the forecast. Back to the 40's this weekend but at least it will be rain....not ice or snow.

There are several counties where schools are still closed here in GA. It's mostly NW Georgia counties but the next county just North of us is still closed. Southerners definitely cannot drive in the slick stuff.

There was a tragic accident about 10 miles North of me. Three teenaged boys were walking on a frozen pond and the ice gave way and they all fell in. Only one was able to escape....the other 2 died. It was so sad.

Not doing much today. I didn't sleep all that well last night so I hope I can manage to get a nap in. My phone rang constantly yesterday it seemed. Good thing I wasn't trying to sleep then!

to everyone!
