That's real down home cookin'. I've had garden spinach lately, and
tomorrow I'm going to make a huge amount of cheesy spinach with
Gouda. I bought 9 chickens for the deep freeze today, and then
stopped by the same store tonight, and they were out of them so I got
a rain check. Whole chickens at 68 cents a pound. For years I've
wanted to make BBQ chicken for the whole staff at work. They've got a
pretty large grill there I could use. I could do it on one of my days
off. For sides I could make mashed potatoes/carrots with chicken
gravy (using the backs and necks for the gravy), and green beans with
bacon, with blackberry fool for dessert using some of the giant haul
of blackberries I'll be getting in a few weeks. My coworkers are so
nice. It'd be a real joy to get to make them lunch.
