Chicks, Chips & Boats

Then I'm not having a warm toe day:biggrinjester:


Me neither ... I was doing ok but when I went home for lunch the neighbor had his truck stuck in the alley so I helped him get it out ....I drove while he pushed but amazingly enough that extra 5 minutes of being outside was all it took. My toes are cold. :blush5:

JJ .. thanks! :)
 
Your welcome! hahah... Wanna plan for dinner, but don't know what Honey had for lunch yet. Anyone know 'whats for dinner"?
 
I have been simmering chicken on the stove for soup, I found out I like it just shredded on the plate so I just had that with roasted fingerling potatoes and fresh string beans with roasted almonds, it was very good, Since Ian eats at 10 PM he will have the same only micro waved.

In reference to chili, I do mine with the same type of shredded chicken I make for the soup. About 2 to 1 dark red beans to black beans and one can of hot chili beans, then diced tomatoes with green Chiles and some chili powder, cumin, and cilantro. I don't like green peppers or onions, so I don't add any of that. Sometimes Ian like a little corn in his. Most of my friends really like the shredded chicken, I don't think I will ever use hamburger type meat again.
 
I did get the motorhome started about 3, then the back tag axle tire had the brake stuck. Got that free and the dash wasn't working to dump the air ride so it would fit out the barn door, so I had to charge the house batteries and start the generator. Drove to the service station with no gauges and no heat, did I mention it was fricken COLD:biggrinjester:


No warm toe day here!

check out this article and then check out some sites on whooping cough. I heard on the news about a week ago that w.c. cases have really been on the rise this year. I sure know of a bunch of people that have been coughing like crazy this year. Ian coughed from the second week in November to just before Christmas, then I started the first week of January and it just finally stopped about 5 days ago, both of us would cough so hard we would almost vomit. I would hear him at night (he started sleeping in the spare bedroom) and it sounded like he was going to cough up his lungs, my sister all in NY coughed for several months, I am not sure what we had but it was different then before.

I am much more careful at the gym now and yoga studio. I carry antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer and wipe down the cardio machines and around my yoga mat before using them. I use the sanitizer on my hands several times. Dawn you seem to get sick often, do use various phones and computers at your office, if so you might want to try to avoid that our use sanitizer on your hands off and on. On several TV shows they keep talking about the office and the gym as major places to pick up germs. I was never a germ phobic, never a huge hand washer, and have always had an excellent immune system but after this weird coughing and cold I am trying to be more aware.
 
Donna , What did we miss? We left about 1:00 AM and the cop had his breathalyser out and the air in the room was a 04.
 
Jann if you try making the chili with the chicken make sure you cook it first. When just doing chicken for chili I use boneless breasts and simmer in a pot with some chicken stock and a can or two of chopped tomatoes with green chillies. Cook it on low for about an hour and a half, then I shred it up and add it to chili that has been cooking a little while. I made a thick batch once for a party and people used it like a warm dip with chips. I have a Mexican friend and he makes shredded chicken a lot, he uses the full pieces with the skins, I know the bones and skin adds to the flavor of the stock, but then you have to deal with getting the bones and skin out of the pot.
