I did something today that I can't remember ever having done before: I ordered a sandwich with mustard instead of mayo. I've never been a fan of mustard, but I craved it today. And it's not turning my stomach - in fact, I'm kind of enjoying it.

Bizarre.

Children, I want you to form a single line and quietly leave the schoolhouse.  Once you are outside, run like H E double hockey sticks towards town or you can kiss your sweet little asses good-bye.

Quietly, now...

And now I must hie me to Target to get Bounty Towels on sale for $ 5.50 an 8-pack.

But, as the soon-to-be ex-guv of CA would say:

No bread since I had fried chicken and there was enough breading on it to suffice the bread portion.

It took me a week to eat and serve to others those cupcakes I baked for my friend's birthday, so no more chocolate cake for at least another week!  :)

This afternoon, i got around to watching last night's SMALLVILLE finale. Now, I won't see the series for probably another few months, until reruns of this seasons episodes begin in, what, December? Too many other shows to watch on Thursdays at 8.

Which part of it confuses you?

The chicken?

The waffles?

Or is it the great unknown:  How the FRELL do the two go together and do you serve syrup with it?

I really love imagining what such an activity as mopping the floor might lead to...and here it is:  watching "The Bostonians".

I can only conjecture what shampooing the carpets might inspire.

Or cleaning one's upholstery!

:D

My exact question.
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
SERVES 4

I guess there are some of you who never heard of this. It is very common in PA Dutch country, at least my hometown area. We love to have breakfast foods for dinner on occasion and most have been revamped to be more savory than sweet. This is very easy and very quick if made with leftover chicken or turkey and gravy.

INGREDIENTS

Cooking oil (I use canola or olive, which is not traditional)
1/2 of a whole chicken
Salt and pepper to taste
1 stalk celery
1 medium carrot
1 small onion, peeled
1 bayleaf
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) low-salt chicken broth, plus water to cover chicken
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
1 batch of your favorite waffles
Heat olive oil in a stew pan over high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Add to pan and brown on both sides. Add celery, carrot, onion, bayleaf and broth. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 60 minutes. Remove chicken from pot; cool, remove fat and bones and pull apart into small pieces. Skim excess fat from the broth. Discard the vegetables (or eat as cook's treat). Mix the flour with the water until smooth. Bring the broth to a slow boil. Add the flour-water paste gradually, stirring rapidly after each addition. Continue until gravy is the desired thickness. Taste for seasoning. Add the chicken and keep warm over very low heat.

Meanwhile, make the waffles according to recipe and waffle iron. If necessary, place in a 200° F oven to keep warm. Serve the waffles topped with chicken and gravy.

Note: Make extra waffles; freeze and reheat in the toaster for breakfast. Recipe can easily be doubled using a whole chicken.
