Now the only thing a Chatter needs is a suitcase and a drum.

Good morning, and happy Hump Day!

sausage biscuits... mmmm

arrgghhllluuughghh ....(a la Homer)

I don't have the patience to make dumplings from scratch so I buy the frozen ones (dumplings in this area are basically thick noodles.)  Of course I also haven't eaten chicken 'n dumplins since I made this lifestyle change.  Might have to splurge on that once this winter.

cornstarch is great in a pinch - about the consistancy of elmers glue - perhaps a bit thicker

I'm trying to keep on the straight and narrow and lose a few pounds before I indulge too much on anything. Not that this weekend helped, but you do the best you can.

Rob's mom made amazing chicken & dumplings.  Her dumplings were light and kinda fluffy, not doughy and heavy like all the others I've tried.  I wonder if it's because she's from Chicago.

Ooo I can finally use a chat word:

This bill I am trying to figure out is such an Ashley. >:\ 

Think it's gonna wait until tomorrow.

As Carrie can attest, people in Chicago DO know something about cooking.

mine are like that - almost like biscuits inside -it was the unbrowned outside that seemed to give offense at table, however.

I've never had a dumpling I liked.  Evah.

The Bill sucks like Ashley in an NFL Lockerroom, huh?

Sounds like your dumplings are like Rob's mom's.  I miss her cooking.  We always had C&D on Christmas Eve.

#610: Ummm...yes?  :D

I had to grab some baby carrots.  All this talk of yummeh .... heh!

Christmas Eve = Clam chowder (family recipe), and crab cakes (family recipe)

Christmas Day=  Standing Rib Roast and mushrooms cooked in cream - sometimes with yorkshire pudding as well....

agghhhh now I'm really going to be in trouble at the grocery tonight...

I should get a piece of fruit from the breakroom.... while somehow avoiding the peanut m&m dispenser.

613:  Try not to go on an empty stomach!

Yeah. Eat, THEN go shop. :) It makes it easier to stick to your list. :)

I'll have to down a bottle of water beforehand - out of kitteh food, so must stop before I get home or Max The Orange Man will give me hell. :)

8-O  OUT of KITTEH FUDZ!???

For shame!

HK also has to stop by The Grocery Store on the way home, but has a list and believes he can stick to it..

Sunflower Seeds, and Boobies Blueberrie

eek! I have dry food Minion De La Luna, just not the canned kind they so prefer :)
