You are so right, Elle. KFC used to be good...when the Colonel was alive and overseeing the operation. But these days, since the big corporate bigwigs took over, it sucks. Sorry..but it does. Rarely we will have it...but it is a rare occasion. When we have fried chicken, it's my homemade. Takes time to cook it right, but it's worth it in the end. LOL! As for the other fast food joints, we eat there occasionally. Mostly the local fast food places that have been in operation for years....such as Harned's in Paducah. "Car hop" burger/bbq place that has been in operation since the 1950's.

As for pizza, we really don't have a good pizza joint in the area. We have the usual Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Domino's, etc...but they are just as salty as KFC. So...we don't eat that much either. I try to make pizza at home, but it's not like those fired in the really hot ovens. LOL!

Morning Friends,

LOL! Good pictures Elle....and I don't blame you. Rain is rare at times in Texas so pictures don't hurt. We're getting some rain this morning...thunderstorms. We can use it...so I'm not complaining. I've been trying to convince the cooler temps to float back your way...but they won't listen to me.

Greg, don't you have some recipes for jams and jellies that you can eat? If not, I can try to find some on the internet. I know! Have you tried the Splenda web site? If they don't have any, look for an email address there and send them an email. But I would think that you could substitute in your own and make the jams/jellies where you can enjoy them too! Remember....where there's a will, there's a way. (That's what Grandma Skinner always said.)

Does Critters know what she having or did they opt for a surprise?

Elle, I know you must be tired of the hot temps. We had them for about a week here and I was sick of it when the cooler temps finally came back. To be honest, we've had one weird summer here. We have had the coolest July that I can remember this year. Honest...it's weird. Usually, July is the HOTTEST month here with the humidity and the summer weather. But this year, we've had more cool days than hot. SO weird.

Uh huh, Vern....now, tell us: When you took those girls blackberry picking, did you steal any kisses? LOL!!!!!!! Vern, try the different types of herb seasoning blends on the market now. Not those in the packets, those contain loads of salt. But those in the bottles. They have great blends now and a variety of tastes. Put some zest in your food.

Morning ETA, Perry and Lil!!!!

Wow...it's really coming down out there now.....thunder too.

Anyway, got a few things on tap for this morning. Gotta get out later and pay some bills. Never ends, does it? Bills. Just when you think you got 'em all paid, the month changes and here you go again. Has anyone else's utility bills gone up.....again? Our electric company has raised the rates for us...again. This is twice this year. And get this: They CLAIM that it's because of the gas going up. How can that be when it's hydro-electric power??? I dunno. I guess they're charging us for the trucks???! Damn TVA.

Also, got some laundry to do later today. And, since we've been talking about dumplings here, I'm gonna whip up some of Greg's dumplings for supper tonight. Just sounds good. And Piglet (Jennifer) has been wanting some chicken salad.

Off to check the board....check in later...
