I don't even know why you bothered with the protein. 3 cajun-based carbs would have totally done for me. Mmmmm.

I'm trying for low carb, gluten free.

Last night was a failure for sure!

Chicken wings for DH and cheese sticks for both of us.

And, a new beer came home today - St Paul Girl. Meh, it's okay, much better than the Genessee that came home last week!

Meantime, consider telling us about your favorite way of preparing salmon - have it at least once a week. Lots of protein.

Take care Marital

Tom
I'm bad about doing fish, Tom. Do you have a salmon recipe you can suggest?

Glad to hear you're doing well. Keep us posted on how Char is doing.

Tom, please excuse the brevity of this reply as I'm working from my smartphone as I'm on vacation.

You did make a statement that I would take issue with, about Jesus and Mary not wanting to hear your complaints and woes. Dude, I think you understate the humanity that was part of the assumption of human form that He accepted. Disappointment and sorrow can be offered as sacrifices for boons for others, friend.

I certainly have no claim to religious training, but faith tells me that emotions are given us for reasons we might not fully understand. Overly dwelling on them to the exclusion of attending to good work would be wrong, but acknowledging them, processing them, and progressing cannot be.

If not Them, who better to confide in?

Don't we all just HATE those posters who "Reply" to their own note.....?

Anyway, Grandy, North Carolina would seem to be noted for two things:

1) If they put a bridge/tunnel/ferry from there to the Outer Banks, many visitors to Duck, or Corolla, would save many miles driving SOUTH to the existing causeway, and then back NORTH.

2) It serves as the venue for NG's newest addition to food emporiums with MB connections (see "Sugar Cane" and "Skanky's", already reviewed).

There is a diner there, at which I stopped for a bite.
- Firstly, there was a highlighted admonition on the menu saying the were NO SUBSTITUTIONS ("ARE YOU CRAZY?") to be considered on the meal groupings.
- Then it seemed everything was RIGOROUSLY prepared, step-by-step, after THOUSANDS of folks had been successfully served.
- And to my taste all the offerings seemed a bit....salty, if irrefutably well done.

Colleagues, I give you:

First, dump a large container of barbeque sauce in a slow cooker. Then place frozen chicken and some water. Then put in whatever spices you see fit that taste good with chicken, and what's left of a bottle of A-1.

Voila! Unintentional pulled "chicken" barbeque and enough leftover sauce to fill up a bowl and that plastic BBQ container mentioned before to put on burgers and other such things.

Crockpot BBQ chicken in the south?? grin Actually, your recipe sounds delicious! We just bought a new grill this weekend and can't wait to try it out. It is one of those with a gas grill on one side and a charcoal grill on the other side. WE haven't used charcoal in many years.

What is everyone having for the 4th?

I am still not sure, I have a nice roast that H could smoke, or just BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs. I will see what H prefers.

Have a great 4th of July everyone!

London broil?

That's something that this Londoner has never heard of! What is it? (Actually, I think I asked you that before, but I can't remember the answer.)

I'll be celebrating with chicken and chorizo kebabs - grilled on a skewer with lots of vegetables and halloumi cheese in between the chunks - green salad and perhaps a couscous salad. Is that American enough for the 4th?
