I knew this guy would be happy

This guy was pleased to learn of my recent success cooking chicken fingers —   I did not tell him about Jeff's contribution to our table with some of that wonderful grass and hay fed "you-know-what" that I was able so successfully convert into meatloaf and hamburger-potato pie.

Mark and I were at the local chick-a-fil for a quick lunch before going to the WF ballgame today and were fortunate enough that the Eat Mor Chikin Cow came by our table.  Some days you just get lucky.  

pretty good chicken fingers

Tonight I found a pretty good chicken finger recipe—and in just a little bit we had a real good source of protein. 

This is from food dot com

Boned chicken breasts paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, fine ground pepper  two cups of saltine cracker crumbs, and an egg.

Crush the crackers with rolling pin; mix cracker crumbs with ¼ teaspoon of each of the above spices.   

Slice the two chicken breasts into inch wide strips.  Dip in egg then roll in the ground cracker mix – bake 12 minutes—and you got it.  Regarding the spices, I doubled the pepper since I like pepper.

Add a baked potato, salad and dinner is done.

Might have to do a restaurant review of 4307.

the Christmas party

-

We had such a nice party at Mark and Marie's.  the littlest one was oh so cute and fun to be around.  Even let me hold him a while too.

Now these guys were wide open.  Nathaniel wanted to wrestle me — for a while — he said "now don't make me cry"  He found out I am a serious wrestler —- but he came back for more.

and we all got nice presents and had real good times.

Even the traditional "now-this-is-a-what" gift time.
