I never thought I would be so happy to see Monday come around. It was a bad sports weekend for us so we're happy it's over. Poor Astros. Poor Aggies. I didn't even hear the score of the Texans game but I'm going to assume it's "Poor Texans" as usual. Life starts all over on Mondays -- and we start looking forward to the next weekend.
We've been catching up on the new TV shows too. CSI has started off pretty good but the shows are building on each other so if you miss one you're screwed and I'm not sure I like that. The jury is still out on Six Degrees. I'll definitely watch it again but it may not be added to the permanent TiVo list! I do really like Men In Trees so far but poor James will go nowhere near that show. Guess it's too 'cute' for him. We gave up on Studio 60 already. Housewives is back to it's old tricks but still as good as ever. Gray's just takes the cake, by FAR! It's the only show I find myself absolutely glued to. I guess The Bachelor starts tonight. woohoo. yipee. sorry. I'm just really annoyed by reality TV. I'll admit that I have gotten caught up in some of the shows before but I'm just so tired of it. People generally making asses of themselves for money and/or fame. I just don't get it.
My last post was all about diets and how annoying they are so I thought I'd include a recipe here - for really good fried chicken breasts! I like putting it on a bun with some Frank's Red Hot, lettuce, tomato, and ranch (aka - Chili's Chicken Ranch Sandwich) but that's just me.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - pounded about 1/2 - 1/4 inch thick.
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon each of ground black pepper, salt, paprika
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup oil, for frying
Mix all dry ingredients in a shallow dish. In a separate dish, whisk together egg and milk.
Heat oil in electric skillet to 350*. (I just use a heavy skillet on the stove and eyeball the oil temp by a drop of water or a drop of breading).
Dip chicken in egg/milk mixture then dredge in the dry mixture until evenly coated.
Fry in hot oil for about 5 minutes per side.
It may take less time if you pound it really thin like I do!
And since that's what is for dinner tonight I should probably get going on it! Oh, and feed the dog too!

That sounds really yummy! I guess you could always make it grilled too, to go along with the diet theme. ;-)
Yeah...the A&M/tech game...not much more to say about that! Oh well...
Hope you are having a good week. It was good to catch up with you the other day!
Yeah, think I'll try it grilled! *wink*
I totally agree with you on Six Degrees...I'm gonna try one more episode, but so far, it's just not 'catching' me...I just don't care about the characters yet?!? But, who can top Grey's?!?
