Sounds like a good one!

It works wonders!

I can imagine!

Imagination is powerful medicine.

Thanks, Friend.

Note to self: call up neighbors and ask, "May I borrow a cup of wall?"

Would you like a couple of eggs with that?

I did have one scrambled egg this morning, with chopped sauteed Italian parsley and a big sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, on a whole grain English muffin.

Good stuff, and easy to fix.

The only other "fancy" cooking I've done recently is curried mock-chicken salad. But that was tasty, too. After it had a couple of days to "mature" in the fridge.

Those both sound delicious, cleome.

What is mock-chicken? Tofu perhaps? Or tuna?

Don't mock the poor chicken! What did it ever do to you?

The chicken should learn to take it!!!

lol

To answer Ibby's earlier question, the brand I use is Chik'n, which is a mix of soy and some flour-y stuff. I haven't yet reached the culinary heights with it that the local Vege-Grill lunch place has, but these things take time and practice to learn.

Honestly, I started using the stuff because I liked it ready-cooked already, and after attempting a billion different methods of poaching skinless chicken breasts at home, I gave up. Invariably they are flavorless shoe-leather all the way through. Or worse yet: a raw center ringed by flavorless shoe leather. (Also, if I never have to trawl through another pious diet lecture in the course of just trying to seek out a nice recipe for a simple meal, it'll be too soon.)

Yeah, with chicken I don't like it boiled or poached. Not enough flavor. Grilled or baked, at the minimum.

exception would be if it was in a soup.

To have any flavor when poached or boiled, chicken needs to have the skin on, and dark meat maintains moisture better than white. (You can always remove the skin after the cooking's done.)

Two of my favorite chicken dishes are from here (Saliva chicken and Bang-Bang chicken):

If the blazing heat will just stay at bay for another week or so, I may even get to prepare one of them. A heap of spicy chicken over cold whole-grain noodles or shredded cabbage would be heaven.

Thanks for the tip, cleome! Sounds delicious indeed.

I need one of those cute Chinese-style grills mentioned in that front page recipe about cooking lamb kabobs.

Reminds me of hot pot. So many of my Asian friends are really into that

"Hot pot" makes me think of HotPoint, the 1970s manufacturer of dishwashers and fridges.

As a four-year-old, I saw a commercial in Spanish for HotPoint with a really cute and catchy jingle.

I still remember the jingle today:

"Eso, eso es vivir
La alegria de HotPoint
La la la la la la la la
Eso, eso es vivir"

Viva la vida!

Abajo con Coldplay.

tampoco no me gusta Coldplay.

Yeah...but I guess every generation is destined to have its own mediocre-yet-successful stadium-rock band.

I could not make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
Nor could I make all the stadiums rock



But my husband and cat still like me.

Same for the family dogs. I always said to them, "Even if I come out as gay, I know you will still like me."

I'm single, and my condo doesn't allow pets.




But my best friend still likes me.

pets are a blessing

except for that demon chihuahua a while back
