The resurrected pork

Lunch: 3 ounces pork barbecue 3 ounces sauerkraut 1.5 ounce hamburger bun 3 ounce baby carrot 2 ounce pepper strips 1...

And the winner is. . .

The first person to comment, MAGGIE!  a.k.a.  www.thesaladgirl.com! It was very scientific on how I chose the winner! When I went to the store this morning, they had the worst selection of Bigelow teas.  But what did I find?  Celestial Seasonings (buy one get one free!) I chose: And then this one: This morning was the coldest yet – 43 degrees!  It was a beautiful...

Nertz! I overcooked the meat!

We have a remote meat thermometer and I should have taken the meat out about 10 degrees below the temp I wanted, like at 150.  But no, I cooked it to 160 and while it rested, it kept cooking.  But all is not lost.  The bbq rub WAS GREAT!  Please go to www.zestycook.com and search for his earlier September post of pork loin with a...

Down down baby. . . and moving on up!

Skinny Dip

It’s my next to last summer beer, but boy, is it good.  I first tried Fat Tire in Austin where my brother and sister-in-law live.  Then I found it when I came back home.  It is a very full bodied beer, so you can only drink one or two.  Well, imagine my surprise when they came out with Skinny Dip, their “light” beer.  It comes...

Perfect Fall Morning

Sunny and 49 degrees this morning!  Love it!  And the leaves are starting to change. At first Ed didn’t want to have anything to do with me.  He took my spot in bed when I drove my daughter to work.  Eventually he came out, so it was a short walk, maybe 20 minutes?  And no work out at lunch. . .I have a dentist appointment. ...

Oven Fried Chicken

Okay, when I told my husband that we were having oven fried chicken for dinner, I MAYBE should have told him that it was oven fried chicken BREASTS! I found this recipe online at www.recipezaar.com (Recipe # 82102).  In order to bring down the calories just a bit, I dipped my chicken breasts in 1/3 cup fat free half and half instead of the butter. ...
