I'm kind of lucky - now that Kris is not working, if I'm in a "don't want to" mood, he's got it covered. Your chicken burger sounds pretty darn good though!

I love radishes. I esp love them when they are smaller and sprinkled with salt. MMMM. You can also take your tops of radishes and place in salad, good for you.

Knowing someone who works there helps so I can be given an honest opinion about the nutritional value. It's still not as great as if I made it all myself, but tonight I don't mind.

I find nothing wrong with eating out, esp when you have the "don't want to" kind of mood, I totally get it. We normally just throw a pizza in oven and try to eat a salad or cook up some frozen green beans or something like it.

regarding leftovers for breakfast, I love to make potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes and a couple of fried eggs..
Sun mentioned curry....I don't think I have ever even had it.
And ceviche.....I have always wanted to try it
I have been on a shrimp and garlic kick. I tried the minced garlic in the jar. I think it comes from Gilroy, CA, the garlic capitol. Anyway, it is very strong. and I love garlic! I could eat it out of the jar. I saute my shrimp in some olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and fresh parsley. It is yummy.
Super Bowl at my house. I wanted something different. I made baby back ribs in the crock pot, then put them in the oven, added some barbecue sauce til it carmelized, then done.
then, I found this "killer" recipe for garlic cheese bread. OMG....
Cut a whole loaf of french bread in half long ways, then cut those in half so you have 4 . melt some butter with of course, I used my garlic from the jar. you swish the first piece of bread cut side down into the butter mixture til the bread browns. repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of the loaf. put on a baking sheet cut side up. take a quarter cup of mayo mixed with grated cheddar, monterey jack, and parmesan cheeses and chopped green onions. mix well and it will easily spread onto the tops of the bread. put in oven til cheese melts and unbelievable! that's all I ate lol
From food network I learned that they all cook with kosher salt, so I use it now too, but, now everyone is talking about sea salt. My question is ......is sea salt better for us than others???
ahk ......the cheese grater you showed is similar to mine. Do you have one too?
CA Baby Cakes ......OMG you live in Pico Rivera ??? I was born and grew up in Montebello! Have you been to Garduno's on Whittier Blvd. by the High School!....I still drive there for the food!!! However, practically every little place there has outstanding Mexican Food !!!
The Academy Awards are coming up I think Feb 24th on a sunday night. It is a tradition at my house. It is taco night ....You all are invited! I usually just make beef tacos, refried beans, and Spanish rice, but, if anyone wants, I will make carnitas tacos also...
Make some Margaritas too....Can't wait.
Hi Ursy.....you are such a sweetie ...........
JustLovelyJenn, you are looking lovely tonight. (Just had to say that)

Dante, buddy-- I didn't know cherry season was around the corner, I love me some
s.
Yep, I have the cheese grinder, though mine is about 25 yrs old and is orange plastic. I inherited from my grandma -- it makes a creaking noise when I grind cheese in it. LOL.
The bread you mentioned, sounds delish. and I wish we had good seafood here, I like shrimp, garlic, and butter/olive oil. Yum.
So I found a few links for you about salt-- We use just Kosher salt because of the larger flakes and feel you don't have to use to much of it. But sea salt is good, esp the coloured sea salts (like grey or pink) -- depending on where they are from.

which is healthier?

Well I am done for now-- I have an exam to study for and my break is over. Have a good evening/day everyone and I'll see you tomorrow.
