Tonight I am making one of my wife's favorite dishes for dinner.
Fried chicken cutlets dipped in egg and battered in a mixture of fresh breadcrumbs, paprika, salt and pepper. I deep fry them and serve them over a mixed greens salad with red onion, black olives, slices of manchego and a oil and red wine vinaigrette. I cook the cutlets and then slice them while they are still warm and put them over the salad. Served with a nice Shiraz and Pellegrino water. She loves that dish.
Oh I am having Sloppy Joes.
Just so you know our respective spots on the food chain.

Just like the salads at McDonald's! I'm putting this idea in my memory banks for future inspiration.
That was my pick in your poll! Hey how about those New York Football Petunias- lucky today.
Booyah! Da Bears go down big tonight!
I am proactively reducing my carbon footprint by turnning off the television set when the Bears play.
It would have been relevant to this topic for me to watch the Bears. Their quarterback is a guy named Jay Cutlet.
I couldn't bring myself to do it, though. Watching Jay Cutlet on the same field where once strode Peyton, Butkus, Halas, Ditka and other heroic, historic Bears would be too sad.
Instead I'm going to read a few more chapters in the new Vince Flynn novel.
I drank egg nog for lunch and dinner.
I could get really excited about fried chicken cutlets with a sloppy joe chaser.
Especially when someone else is wearing the toque.
I did not know that you were a toquer.
Or a toquette, as the case may be.
Jay Cutlet heh.
Ol' Chicken Cutlet let the Chicago Bears to a 20-24 loss at the hand of the Philadelphia Iggles last night.
Chicago Bears are one smart football team. They signed Cutlet to a $50 million contract extension through the 2013 season.
No wonder Oprah is leaving Chicago. Humiliating.
I had an aunt who tried to palm off Sloppy Joes on us kids when it was her turn to feed all the cousins. She didn't fool me. And my mother, mediocre cook that she was, never tried such a stunt. I'm still scandalized by it to this day.
I am cooking this evening, and we are having chicken. First I browned some sausage, to get some pork fat and brown bits, next I added some thinly sliced chicken breast. That browned a bit, which gives it great flavor.
Then I put a boatload of almost minced celery and black pepper on top and covered the skillet. We will serve that on top of some shrimp rice. And some quickly cooked broccoli in olive oil and poppy seeds.
I am also having some turnip greens cooked country style. Nobody else in the house will eat them. That is fine with me!
Trey
You left out onions, Trey.
Trey, that sounds great. I love grees, cooked by someone who actually knows how to do it the right way. Mmmmm good.
Now that's good eating Trey.
