[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Vortex, I'm trying out the CI recipe that came out in their most recent issue (since I don't have a chicken & dumpling recipe to fall back on)

I was trying to find my recipe and couldn't so I decided to be lazy and look it up on the 'net. I found a recipe that uses bacon drippings to make the dumplings. FOR THE WIN.

Thrive to spite them

We were going to grill for Labor Day/ FSU-VS Miami game. Mom got a grill and as we were putting it together there's a huge flaw on the hood. So it's going back tomorrow and no grilling.

So steaks cooked on the stovetop/oven. I've got leeks and mushrooms to use up so I'm thinkign some kind of saucey thing with that. I found some sweet potatoes and I'm currently roasting those and with carrots and garlic and I'm going to do some kind of mashed potato-carrot thing. And cook the zucchini.

I'll see how it turns out.

I'm making enchiladas - my standby CI recipe. Using chicken breasts this time instead of thighs since that's what I had in the freezer. We'll see how much of a difference it makes. I'm guessing not too much.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm coming down with something. So I ate leftover pizza and I'm going to crawl in bed with a cup of tea when the FSU/Miami game starts.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's my go-to for enchiladas also. I do think the thighs work better but the breasts are fine.

I'm trying to come up with something interesting to do with the huge cauliflower I picked up yesterday.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

It took the longest time today to figure out that "FSU" was a sports team.

I could repeat my oft-repeated mantra "I'm obviously not from the same planet as the rest of you", but I'm sure it's boring by now.

Dare I ask what other translations you went through before landing on the correct one?

Brenda, I like my cauliflower pureed with a ton of cheese. Not the world's healthiest preparation, but on the up side you get to eat a ton of cheese.

but there's a vegetable involved, so it's okay.
