September, Rain, Ghouls and Chicken.

 

Good morning, Friends...

It's already September!  I believe most of us, here in the south are looking forward to cooler days and nights!  I know Larry and I are!  

So, let's see...what did we do these past few days...well, I had an appointment with my eye surgeon for a check-up (7 mos post) on my left eye...I had a macular hole and had to have surgery.  Not Fun.  Monday, we kept tootsie-roll Sloane...well, actually, we kept Sloane and her babydoll...lol...she's all into babydolls now.

Tuesday, we had a coffee and cinnamon roll at our favorite cafe.  But didn't enjoy the roll so much this time!  Something very different about it!  Tasted more like a Grandes biscuit!  They were also a bit tough.  You can even tell something's off with it just by looking at the photo... 

Coffee was good though...

We finally enjoyed a brief rain!!  First rain in about 6 weeks?  Too long, and certainly not enough to save my plants.  Everything looks awful.  I'm going out this morning to clean out all my pots and get ready for cold weather.  They (weather talking heads) say we're in for a colder than usual Winter...can't catch a break. 

Larry's getting into holiday spirits, turning out a ghoul ...rather cute.  I tried to get a decent photo of it but they all came out with shadowing.

Then...

This is the brand I buy but, use any brand your store sells.

I whipped up some fried chicken.  The crust was 1/2 bag crushed pork skins with 2 TBSP flour and 3 TBSP cornstarch, mixed up in a bowl...with any seasonings you like...salt, pepper, etc..  Get a separate bowl with plain water.

Dip chicken pieces first in water than in pork rind mixture then fry.  LoCarb (well, lower than using just flour!)  and I never gain extra weight after indulging!

The meal was SO good!  

                                                      

Lolol...yes, I've had this happen!  But (dang it), I was too nice to say anything to the stylist...I just never go back.

Well, that's about it for me on this first day of September.  I hope you all are going to have a sweet and peaceful weekend!  So, until next time...make good choices and...
