We went out to Ruby Tuesday's for supper....and now I remember why I usually cook at home.

The meal wasn't terrible, but it was not at all superior to what I could have cooked here. But it is nice once in a while to go and be waited on even if you have to send your sub-par steak back and ask for another one.

The steak Barb had on her salad looks 150% better than the one I was served...

Was it all cupped up! LOL... You should have asked if the chef could hammer it so you could at least eat it.
Tina wants me to go to a Tuesdays By Us, but now I have second thoughts!

Earlier for Lunch, Tina got a Rueben over at Arby's. I had 1/2 of that.

For supper, I had Two (2) Wimpies (sloppy joes)...

Beans with onion slices as bread! Uh Huh! See! Had enough bread with the burgers.
Tina made a blueberry Cobbler or something like that.
You can see where I was digging at it.

Surely looks good Barbara. Here comes a stupid question. Is that Un sweetened coconut on top the chicken?

The Chinese make General Cho's Chicken, and that is sweet with the duck sauce I think. If the chciken is crispy and then coated with that, I will eat it!
They make coconut shrimp too, but I don't like sweet on the shrimp.

I had 6 (s i x ) tacos from the taco bells that Tina picked up for me. I like the soft shell, but they made a mistake and made the hard shells. Grrrrr! I ate them though! hahahahaha

Oh Barbara.... Silly Me! I guess I need the glasses on when I read the computer screen! I look closer now, and I see the seed shape now!
I love sesame seeds...only on bread or the sesame seed cookies; but that's it!
I always stay away from them because of diverticulosis, but the gastroenterologist I go to said,"Pay No Attention too the seeds thing!" "That was old medical thinking!".... Yay!!! hahahaha. He said eat high fiber and seeds won't hurt you!

All this talk of shrimp.....we took the 1.25 hr. drive to Dane's family across the state to visit yesterday. We went out to a local restaurant for their wonderful fried shrimp....SO FRESH and just a light coating. It's so unlike the shrimp we get other places.

Vacation time is winding down...only a couple more days before we have to get into the car and head back north. I don't know if he'll drive north or just go a little while and then make a U-turn and come right back! lol

He would Make a U'ey if he left you behind I'm Sure! cheers I don't think he would leave without the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer! hahahaha
SOooo Aaaa! Who checks on the place when you are Up North? Do you like shut off the water heater and shut off the water supply? Too bad you didn't have a cheap @$$ old computer and a Web-Cam; that way you can sit and look at the Florida Fort whilst you are Up North And Dream! lol

My camera is broken and I don't have a phone that takes pics so I'll have to just tell you about what I made.

I butterflied six chicken breasts, and then pounded them until they were about 1/4-inch thick (thinner around the edges). I sauteed some finely chopped onion with a couple of garlic cloves until browned and then set that aside to cool after seasoning it with some thyme leaves.

Then I took about 4 to 5 oz. of softened gorgonzola and crumbled it in a bowl with about 4 oz. of softened cream cheese. I added the onion/garlic mixture and after mixing, I seasoned it with sea salt and black pepper.

Then I spooned the stuffing mixture onto the tapered small end of the breast and then rolled them up and put the s and the toasted paneam side down (I probably should've folded in the ends while rolling but it really didn't matter after all). Then I put them in the fridge for an hour to chill.

I seasoned some panko bread cumbs with salt and pepper and a bit of olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet to brown, stirring them occasionally until browned and dry -- maybe 10 minutes or so.

I put some flour, salt and pepper on a plate, and blended two eggs in a shallow dish with a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.

You get it now -- I rolled the chicken rolls in flour, dipped hem in the egg mixture and then rolled them in the panko. I wanted to put them into the oven on a wire rack but I didn't have one that fit inside my baking sheet so I crumbled up some aluminum foil to keep them from being flat on the baking sheet (I wanted the underside to get crispy, too). I cooked them at 350 for about 30 to 35 minutes, until my thermapen said the center was 160 degrees. Man, were they good! They even heated up nicely the next day in the microwave. Pan to try them again soon.

Had a salad and some haricots vert on the side -- yummy!

That's why we don't eat out often too, Beth, as once we see the bill (we drink, too, so there's that, too), we always think it wasn't worth it. When we do eat out, it's usually at a very nice pricey restaurant. But we always enjoy it and often have things we wouldn't make at home.

I'm not usually a big fan of white-meat chicken....except when I do something like you did, Crybaby. Then I think they are very versatile and tasty. Maybe it's because when they get rolled up with something they stay moist as opposed to how dry and tasteless they seem to me when cooked plain. I know some think brining is the solution, but then the meat tastes almost mushy to me and I don't like that, either.

I think Norm does a number of stuffed chicken dishes ~ and don't tell him I said so, but I think he just makes up a recipe in his head and then goes with it! His stuffed chicken and pork always looks so yummy and interesting to me.

If they're brined for too long, Beth, the meat does indeed get mushy. I like white meat but when it's a whole chicken or turkey, I always go for the dark meat.

My husband grills boneless breasts to perfection -- never overcooking them. They're a great base for sauces, too.

VERY NICE, Barb...looks like it got cooked to the "just right" place.

I thawed and heated up some jambalaya for our supper. I wanted some rice instead of making potatoes that Dane says he just "has to have". He was happy with the rice and is full from the meal even though I didn't do a salad.

Since we're heading out Saturday or Sunday a.m. early I didn't want to go to the grocery store to have stuff to either give away or toss. We'll make do with what's in the refrigerator ~ I'm sure we won't starve! lol
