Loving the breakfast buffet.

Looks to me like a helluva waste of crawfish. Not to mention not doing much for your chicken, either. Not a KFC fan. Though they make good biscuits. I'll give them that.

FYI...a poached egg inside that baked potato would be a fine thing. Just saying. Oh, dear sweet baby Jesus. Just kill me now. I WANT that.

A very fine toastie.

She's a fortunate woman. I can remember it being an annual event in Memphis, the first day Dinstuhl's (local well-known candymaker) had their first chocolate covered strawberries. Line would be out the door and all the way down the block. And I would be in it.

I like my serrated knives for two things: bread, and fresh tomatoes.

I hereby bequeath you my share of all the green bell peppers in the world. And about three-quarters of my share of the red and yellow ones. I WILL use a few of those, when pushed.

No. Tried the Salted Caramel Oreo Thins. I wanted to love them. Didn't.

I get it at the Asian market. Never without it.

I will someday try to make macarons. Maybe.

Things of beauty, those are.

I recreated a dish I had at a restaurant and enjoyed recently -- bacon barbecue mac and cheese. Made my usual mac and cheese, added a pound and a half of chopped pork barbecue that'd been mixed with some sauce and toasted in the CSO, as well as about a dozen strips of thin bacon. Put it all back in the oven and baked it. The children pronounced it fine. I thought it was OK, but it wasn't what I was in the mood for.

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing and hearing about some of your meals.

I suspect I would die if my CSO bit the dust. I damn-sho know I'd order another one ASAP. I use it just about daily. Good to know there's a three-year warranty. Mine seems to be plugging along happily.

Fresh yogurt, freshly made granola, and blueberries. Inspired by the fact blueberries were two cartons for four bucks at Kroger.

I have about 15-20. There are generally two hanging on the towel rack near the sink at any given time. They're used for wiping up spills, wiping down cutting boards or hand-washed dishes, and whatever else. I have several that are a cotton-poly blend that I dislike greatly because they are not very absorbent; those migrate to the back of the drawer and are periodically pulled out to use for dustcloths or folded up for hot pads. The remainder are all-cotton, either terry or the "flour sack" variety. I also have, in the bottom of the china cabinet, a package and a half of flour sack towels (either 12 or 18 in a package) I got at Sams because you just don't see them often and I love them. They get gradually fed into the mix as the others go away. Right now, my goal is to get rid of all the blend ones, but the damn things just won't...wear...out...

No. There's very little, if any, regulation on dietary supplements/"natural" remedies, etc. There is also, fwiw, next to no regulation on personal care products, which means that whoever's claim that your shampoo is all-natural, etc., is worth somewhat less than the .01 second of your time it took you to read that on the label. There's a fairly vigorous movement out there it toughen the standards. But it's a big industry to fight, and it is, I'm sure, not anxious to be regulated. Caveat emptor.

Dog breading. Oh, dear God. Lucy the Pug says, though, that she approves. She likes bread. Although it makes her itch.

Woe be unto the whippersnapper who jacks with @GlorifiedRice's jumbo eggs. My egg lady delivers mine. I'd fight over them, too. And I wish her chickens would get busy; I'm about out!

No photos, but I bestirred myself to make a double recipe of white bread yesterday -- split into a loaf, for sandwiches and toast, and a dozen rolls, now in the freezer for Sunday dinner. I made meat loaf last night, so meat loaf sandwiches today.

The butter chicken is good. I add a tablespoon of honey. I like that take-out Indian sweet taste.

Close to my basic recipe. Lacks the dab of sugar, and the splash of cider vinegar.

Glad to have you! Tell us what you like to cook!

I am glad the universe is back in balance.

Chicken salad sandwich with chips and a side of fruit salad at a local catering/lunch place. Hit the spot, but for the bread, which was much too dry and coarse to be good sandwich bread. So I ate the chicken salad with a fork, which was fine. Coconut-pecan-macadamia cookies for dessert. Love this place's chicken salad. It's VERY sweet, although there's no discernable fruit it in it (definite fruity taste, though). It's so enjoyable to be hungry again after a week of being off my feed due to being sick.
