Alan, thanks for the recipe! D-D, would love to see the Spanish rice one! DS15 likes rice dishes, Chewie not so much, so a new one might help.

I will chat with the cat's and if they are ok, Cavy time it is.

De, can you pass on the Mexican rice recipe?

And as for decorations, not bad so far, I need new blinds and carpet in the master bedroom. Other than that, I have a happy place here and now. grin

1 c. white rice
2 tbsp. evoo

Brown the rice in the evoo over a high heat, once all the rice has turned from translucent white to solid white/brown add:

1 whole chopped tomato
1 small chopped onion
1 small chopped bell pepper (if desired)
2 c. water
1/2 bag mixed veggies (the one with corn, carrots, peas, lima beans and green beans)
2 tsp. tomato caldo seasoning or 2 chicken bullion cubes
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder (if desired)

Bring to a boil, then cover, lower heat and simmer 20 min. or until water is gone.

We had two Guinea Pigs--they lived to be about 6 or 7 years old and died peacefully. Still tore the kids up but it's a life lesson.

They poop like crazy though.

Thanks. It is going to be an artery-clogging meal tonight, to make up for the many days of baked chicken lately.

LOL, we can't get away with that around here.

But I did make chicken fried steak, a sinful indulgence from my childhood and a real "man meal", with potatoes and gravy, spinach, and watermelon. The men loved the "man meal" but we sure can't do that very often.

CAn I have the recipe for the beer can chicken?
The veges in cheese and garlic sauce... I have a reciepe like that, it has diced cooked bacon in it and then grilled until the cheese goes bubbly brown, is it the same?

Chrys, WTH is chicken fried steak? I am a-thinking and all I see is a chicken either stuffed with or wrapped around a steak

It's steak that's fried like chicken. At least, I think that's what it is here in the south. I thought that was a Southern thing, LOL.

Lil, I somehow knew you were going to want to know that. You start with what we call a "cube steak." Basically this is an inexpensive cut of beef that has been "tenderized" (pounded till flat and the fibers are broken up.) You dip it in egg and seasoned flour and fry in oil like fried chicken. It is yummy but deadly, especially with the gravy, which is made from pan drippings, flour, salt, pepper, and milk.
