You know, I never realized that chicken fried steak was cube steak. Weird. I make it here sometimes, but I don't care for it that much. My mom made it a lot when I was a kid and I guess I just got burned out on it.

it isn't deep fried, I just put a little olive oil in the bottom of the pan, but it is pretty fatty because the batter soaks up every bit of the oil. I suppose it is a cousin to a schnitzel.

hmm, well I like snitzchell, but I think we use a better cut of meat and we grill rather than fry.
And we put a slice of cheese and a slice of tomato on it, then squeeze lemon juice over it.

yummmm

Not schnitzel. Messier.

Alan, we totally threadjacked you, so here is my favorite quote to get back on topic.

Whatever you can do, or think you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, and power, and magic in it. -- Goethe.

Ingredients
1 (4-pound) whole chicken
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons of your favorite dry spice rub
1 can beer
2 strips of bacon

Directions
Remove neck and giblets from chicken and discard. Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with salt, pepper and dry rub. Set aside.

Open beer can and take several gulps (make them big gulps so that the can is half full). Place beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, plunk the bird cavity over the beer can, place the bacon over the top and secure with toothpicks. Transfer the bird-on-a-can to your grill and place in the center of the grate, balancing the bird on its 2 legs and the can like a tripod.

Cook the chicken over medium-high, indirect heat (i.e. no coals or burners on directly under the bird), with the grill cover on, for approximately 1 1/4 hours, or until the thigh juice runs clear when stabbed with a sharp knife. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before carving, amazing chicken.

For the veggies and spuds

I use 4 spuds that I cube, then lightly coat with EVOO, salt, pepper and a clove of garlic minced. Place in a shallow cassarol pan , cover with tin foil and throw in oven for about an hour, as the spuds get soft, add in you other veggies, we use carrots, corn, boc choy, brocolli and peas. Add a small amount of water, place back in oven covered and let steam for 15 mins.

The garlic and cheese sauce is easy, I use meddium chedder and havarti garlic. 2 cups of cheeder, one cup havarti and one clove of very minced garlic, melt over very low heat on the stove, add garlic, when soft put straight on veggies, and thats it.

It is great.

It's usually the flank steak, and you tenderize the h-e-ll out of it before you bread it. OMGosh it is so good. My oldest son (19) would eat his weight in CFS if we let him.

I must say today has started well.

It's crazy hair day at school so needless to say we had a riot doing hair today. I snorted coffee through my nose when DD 10 came out to show us what she had done.

She had about 10 ponies in her hair, three differant spray in color's. If she wasn't mine I would swear she belonged on the streets.

I hope the kids have a great day.

Clares has barrettes/extensions that just clip in and they come in a rainbow of colors.

That way you don't have your girls spraying chemicals in their hair....that spray in stuff causes split ends like you wouldn't believe.

I got DD6 a purple fall, DD12 a pink one and DD12's besties a green one and a blue one....all their fav colors...the girls have a blast with them...(and theyy are only a $1 each).

I should call DD12's besties my DDs too...they are over so much!

(le sigh...LOVE our new neighborhood!)

That's the way my DD6 is. No matter how gentle you are, she cries.

Breaks a momma's heart.

I consider myself very good with the hair.

When I first came here a few years back it was a big topic for me. HELP I CAN"T DO HAIR.

The past six years have made me much better at it.

We curl, we have a ceramic straightner, both my DD's, 10 and 8 love to do hair, so it is a big to do each day.

dontknowTough one for me with DD 10.

She asked me when girls get thier periods, when will she get hers? She's 10!

Is that a bit early for her to think of that?

Does anyone know a good website for great information on how to talk about this?

Some girls start early. I remember most girls start talking about it around 11 so this is perfectly normal. WebMD has some good factual info:

I think it happens earlier now than when I was a teen. Then, all my friends were about 13-15, now my DD's freinds seem to be 12-14

My oldest started this past summer.

Poor kids are getting them earlier and earlier due to the hormones that are being pumped into the animals and animal products we consume.

Have you had to sign the sheet for "the talk" at school yet? That should happen this year. Talk about traum. I couldn't sleep for a week after that...

Oh.

My dd took it fine, tho.

Figures.
