It's all in there...

My plan was to make fried chicken dinner for tonight, complete with rolls, mashed potatoes and country gravy.  I mean, the whole works!  It's all in there... chicken is in the freezer, have plenty of potatoes, even the stuff for making gravy.  The fryer has oil and everything.  I even took out the rolls to thaw and bake.

My plan was to make a cheesecake for dessert.  I have some leftover blackberries from the garden in the freezer.  All of the stuff to make the cheesecake is in the fridge and cupboard.  I asked the lady from church about baking it.  She gave me some pretty good tips.  I even pulled up the recipe.

I talked to a friend of mine who I gave a bottle of my homemade BBQ sauce to.  He told me he used it to make pulled pork and really liked it.  Just the cuts of meat I needed to make pulled pork with were on discount at the Winco.  There is now a change of plan.

The rolls go in the oven in about a half-hour.  I did try to head down the chicken road.  I made some homemade chicken fingers.  I was going to add some legs with those for fried chicken dinner, but froze the legs.  The pork got done and I dumped a pint of sauce in it.  I hadn't tried the sauce with pulled pork and I wanted to and my pants let me know that instead of eating a cheesecake, which I'd wind up doing, a banana would do.

I'm getting fat again and I don't like it.

So for dinner, it's gonna be healthier.  The nice thing about the chicken is that the oil is so hot, the meat doesn't soak up a lot of oil.  Some, but not a lot.  There isn't any extra fat on the pork.  Actually, it was leaner than what I usually buy.  And it'll freeze nicely in a food saver bag.

Leftovers is always a good thing.

All the stuff is in there to make all that stuff, but the desire just kind of waned.  Tomorrow, I'm fixin' to make a small pot of chili.  I really need to start eating up the tomatoes.
