There was a great chicken place in Virginia Beach that served deep fried biscuits and Honey. They called them Puffs. They are one of the very few things I miss about VB.

Hi everyone!!

we are having chicken breast fillets sauted in olive oil, steamed broccoli, and 2 potatoes peeled, cubed, boiled and after draining the water, add some butter and salt, pepper and fresh parsley. Very simple, takes about 30 minutes to make.

Last night's $5 deli chicken served 2 of us, and tonight it served 4 more, as hot bbq chicken sandwiches and cold chicken spread sandwiches. Not bad economy, eh? We had Jarlsberg cheese, avocado, red onion, a tomato for the sandwiches and creamed spinach, and mushroom stuffing for the sides. Hooray for leftovers! We had Sweet Martha's cookies, just like they sell at the state fair, with whole milk for dessert.

There are a bazillion ways to fix chicken if you get bored, captain. What did you have with it?

jeanne , i just dont have a functioning kitchen yet . my youngest son built a kitchen counter in here years ago but it has a lavatory sized sink in it . you can imagine what a hassle it is to wash a pan , etc . i read a good cracked magazine article today that applies to me . if your trying to fix things in your life its going to take some time , was the gist of it . another year might see me with a bedroom , in essence freeing up the living room space , a root cellar in service and a nice kitchen with a lot of counter ( breadmaking ) space .
just greasy fried chicken for now .

I'm still on the tomato kick. They are almost gone. BLT for lunch, caprice salad for dinner. Eggplant will be ready soon. I see lots of Parmesan and rollitini in my future.

Lots of good stuff from farmers' market yesterday. I plan on stir-fry, ratatouille, and gazpacho with it. Tonight was the stir-fry. It was great.

Captain, if you have the ability to fry chicken, why can't you prepare a stir-fry meal, with healthy fresh veggies? All in one pan on one burner. Your body would thank you! :)

A business client (Korean) dropped by our office yesterday. He gifted us a box full of yellow pears from Korea. It's big. I just measured it. 13 inch round. The boss gave me 5. Yesterday, I cut into it - so easily. Much easier than an apple. I bit into it. YUM!!! It tasted soooo sweet - like an apple. And so juicy - like watermelon. And the skin is so soft, easy to chew. I ate 1/2 yesterday, and the other half today. I now have 4 left. I WAS planning to give some to bro next door. I changed my mind. Delicious. I'm planning to eat some more later tonight when my midnight snack craving hits. FYI, I googled it. It's called Japanese/Korean pears, or Asian pears. If you ever visit the Oriental market and you find one, I recommend you give it a try.

once in a while the Asian pears you can get at the supermarket are really good too. And fresh mango never fails if you need a healthy treat!

The best pears in the world are Rivera from Harry and David's. OK, I'll admit I have not tried every kind of pear in the world, but those are spectacular.

And speaking of spectacular, my gazpacho was awesome tonight! Grilled cheese with bacon sandwiches set it off just fine. :)

i love pears . i have a dwarf japanese pear tree .
i had jail food tonight -- from ednas nh . chicken salad sandwich . it wasnt very good , too sour, but it brought back a great memory of moms last 3 months of life . i was making some kicka** chicken salad and serving it on halves of brotchen rolls . mom and the hospice visitors complimented the food after they were done eating . they were so good that nobody said a word while eating them ..
i took edna a slice of restaurant coconut cream pie this evening . an old lady who was sitting in the hall with edna said she loved coconut so i gave her half of ednas slice of pie . i made two people happy for 3 bucks and 55 cents . thats pretty good economics ..

Asian pears are great in a salad also. I use spinach and asian pears and maybe some toasted walnuts in a light dressing. Delicious.

Last night was "crack slaw" - a burger and cabbage dish that you can change up about 1000 different ways - spicy, creamy, tomato-y, etc - I went the creamy route last night and tossed some cream cheese in there and topped it with colby jack. YUM.

tramadol and beer .. ive seen too many people die from clean living , im gonna find the middle ground .

Hmmm....seems to me, el Capitano, that the middle ground would include at least a piece of chicken. Simple self medications is not middle :)

I must be hungry because, even though it's hot as h*ll here, I'm broiling thick cut pork chops dusted with caraway seeds then baked on top of sauerkraut, green beans, beets and cottage cheese. I must be nuts!

im exonerated .. i had a piece of chicken at lunchtime at nh ..
your pork chops sound good , jeannette . try em layered in a bread pan someday with light apple stuffing between each . a can of whole kernel corn doesnt hurt the stuffing one bit .. tramadol and beer for side dishes ..

Got the ingredients for a quick stir fry, but worked late, wasn't that hungry, so will do that tomorrow. Tonight was just Triscuits with hummus and Sriracha hot sauce. Weird? Maybe, but I love it.

looloo,
stir fry needs water chestnuts imo ..

I used to think stir-fry needed water chestnuts, but now I like jicama better. Same crunch with a fresher taste. (Maybe that is because I can buy jicama fresh and water chestnuts only canned.)

Had granddaughter, her husband, and their two kids over tonight. We had tortilla chips, salsa, and guacamole, small bowls of gazpacho for starters, then fish tacos (cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and an awesome sauce), followed by cookie brownies. A success.

I am making eggplant parmesean but instead of frying and using bread crumbs I am making it with almond meal. Eggplant dipped in eggwash, then almond meal, sprayed the glass baking pan with coconut oil, layered them in, baked them. Then made a tomato sauce; mixed an Indian Simmer Sauce with an Italian sauce, sliced layers of sliced garlic, onions, fresh tomato, fresh basil, goat cheese, jack cheese, and topped with the last of the almond meal. Wow, this place smells good! Can't wait to try my invention.
