Yes, I do like them, and I would love to eat the packages of them that we have in the freezer soon!

They were purchased in TEXAS! I don't know what Melody is on about.

(Don't let MelodyLane find out about the cheese curd fixation. She'll probably think that's northern food, too...)

Where's da meat??

Fear not, dear colleague, for my proteinal requirements! There were accompanying barbecued chicken cutlets, hand rubbed with a dry mixture of my own creation, but that seemed so.....pedestrian.......as not to require separate notation.

Au contraire, my gastrointellectual friend. Forgive my audacity, but I must hasten to respond to you:

Observe the lowly chicken cutlet. Common, without merit. Relegated by unthinking default to its lowly station of 'barbecue sauce/bake/eat'.

Enter the dry rub...the spark of the spices, the whip-cracking zing of the first succulent bite, the startling aroma of lime zest that prompts even the most jaded of palates to stand up and take note...yes, therein lies the culinary delight that begs - nay, demands top billing on the evening's bill of fare.

Hmmm...I'm suddenly starving for Chinese...

MB, why does dry-rubbing chicken cutlets make you think of Chinese ccoking?

Perhaps you're rubbing the cutlets the WONG way?

(Apologies to any/all colleagues with mainland-Asian precedents! The pun was just BEGGING to be typed.)

rotflmao Someone had to say it!

Well, see, I started thinking about all the yummy spices in a well-made dry rub. Then I started thinking about the hotter spices that I put in mine. Hotter spices made me think about this spicy Szechuan place I went to, and there you have it: instant Chinese food jonesing.

You really did want to know, right? laugh

OKRY???? OKRY???? I have to assume that you're referring to OKRA.

That has to be the most disgusting vegetable to land on this planet. And you people STEW it? You mean you allow it to take up extra time in your life, to go through some kind of stewing process?? faint

In THIS house, okra is verbotin. YUCK! Now, artichoke is good. Asparagus, okay, I can work with that. OKRA? faint

NO, WE DO NOT.

I am not sure where MelodyLane came up with that idea. It sounds like some kind of Louisiana cajun gumbo thing, which is okay because it's southern, but not okay for Texans.

Okra fried to a CRISP is delicious.

Soft okra, okra inadequately fried, and especially okra STEWED is VOMIT-INDUCING. I am feeling sick just thinking about it.

MelodyLane, if you want to eat GUMBO, go back to Louisiana! This is TEXAS, thank you!

My beloved Texan grandmother loved stewed okra. I never knew why.

Those people from near the border ... you know that was disputed territory at one time, right? They're closet Louisianans! smile

(Actually, I live on the wrong side of the Sabine!)
