I used this recipe as the base of my fried chicken except for one exception.   I used this to pan fry it before it went into the oven!  But before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, relax, I only used 3 tablespoons! And after I pan fried it in Crisco on five minutes each side before going into the 425 oven for 40 minutes, this...

Yep, that’s right!  As soon as I took my lunch pics and started to eat, I got the call from Tony to come get him!  Luckily my office has to go cups!  So the dog was super excited to see Tony and now they are laying near each other in the living room.  The only time Ed wants to be right next to Tony is...

We have so many different kinds of bread in the house right now, I need to start using it up!  Bagels, sandwich bread, english muffins, garlic foccacia!  My breakfast portion was 2.2 ounces.   I toasted it lightly then put 1/4 cup cooked egg beaters, 1.5 ounces Krakus ham and .9 ounces of Alpine Lace reduced fat swiss cheese (i.e. stinky cheese!) 😀 and then put it...

I stop by Cathy’s blog www.noblepig.com just about every day.  Her pictures are amazing and even if I’ve just eaten, my mouth begins to water when I see her food.   Today she had peanut butter and jelly chicken wings for goodness sakes!  But the reason I mention her, is because of her site I discovered Cream Puffs in Venice!  She has a regular feature called...

about Tony yet, except infectious disease stopped by today to say that a tissue that was removed from last weeks surgery has come back positive.  Have no more details than that, but I have to keep doing what I do to not drive myself crazy thinking about it.  So until I know more I am going to try to stay positive!!  So lunch comes in at...

Tony was able to get around on crutches this morning – so that is an awesome step in the right direction!!   He may be coming home this afternoon, but definitely tomorrow at the latest.  Keep your fingers crossed its today! I forgot to weigh in today, so I am going to skip this week.  I don’t think I lost any, and I don’t think I...

Tony looked online and said that our town officially got 7.2 inches of snow overnight last night!   But by mid-afternoon, the sun was shining and the melting began!   While I was sitting at our computer this morning, this big fat bird was sitting right outside the window on our gazebo, and wouldn’t you know every time I tried to take a picture of it, it...

Well, I guess the snow isn’t as bad as it could have been – maybe we got 5 inches!  But the show is so WET! Unfortunately, the weather is preventing me from going to visit Tony today. 🙁   We’ve talked a couple times already this morning and his floor is really quiet so hopefully he’ll get some rest today! I recently got my next issue...

As I was driving home from the hospital, I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner.  I called Hannah and asked what she felt like, but she couldn’t think of anything.  Then I remembered that I still had Pork BBQ  in the freezer!   And I knew I had potatoes in the pantry, so oven fries was the perfect match.  Seriously, these oven...

before the snow!  On the drive home from the hospital it was raining and as I was driving the last mile it started sleeting.  Now its mostly sleet and snow.   But I am safe and sound at home! I made a quick breakfast while I was making my food to bring to the hospital.   Two slices of everything bread, 1 piece of cooked bacon, 1/4...
