My plan was to make a cauliflower gratin as my side dish, but I had SLIM pickens for cheese – I need to fix that pronto!!   I was on tastespotting, and saw someone made fried zucchini, and I was sold.  I did use whole wheat bread crumbs though! 😀

I had to laugh when I saw a comment on my previous post about colored pens – Hannah and I could have about 1000 pens and still seek out new ones!

here are my colors for my new journal!

Look at the great deal I got on this 8.5 pound boneless pork loin!

score!
score!
not only did I get these 8 thick chops, but I also got two 2 pound roasts!

The zucchini was dipped in a little bit of flour, and egg/water wash then just plain whole wheat bread crumbs.  The good thing about the deep fryer is that it really holds the temperature – these were not the least bit greasy!

then sprinkled with fine sea salt

I ended up eating 3.5 ounces of my pork – dipped in this hot bbq sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings!

I am off to finish cleaning the kitchen, and possibly making refrigerated pickles and jalapenos!  The White Sox game doesn’t come on until 9:00.  Hannah is off to catch a movie with friends.  She’s going to see Orphan, an R rated movie.  Now that she’s 17, she’s positive they won’t card her! 

She tried to see the Saw movies (GROSS!) when she was 15 and 16 but was denied!

Breakfast may be a spinach breakfast pizza – if I get my a$$ out of bed in time! 😀  See you tomorrow!
