Default Torn

I'm torn what to make for dinner.

I have a package of ricotta about to pass its use by date. I want
this:

I have some little smokies and a couple packages of biscuits. I want
to make pigs-in-a-blanket.

I have a 3-4 lb package of chicken breasts thawing. Chicken is always
good.

Anyone ever have days like this?

What are you asking? (In that sense, I have many days like this).

You have too much factory food. Packages of biscuits? And the breast
is the most expensive and lest tasty part of the bird. But you have
it and it is food so eat it. I can imagine a tasteless slab of breast
wrapped around a spice and nitrate infused smokey, wrapped with stale
cheese (but cheese doesn't really go bad), wrapped with some Poppin'
Fresh stuff (flour costs almost nothing, dude). Throw some spinach in
there , some spice depending what in your smokey. Maybe a vegetable
or pickle. Chile? After a couple of beers this might taste good, but
I think at that point the best part would be the grease from the
sausage.

After reading the ricotta recipe, I noticed that it takes a day to
strain the cheese, so I went with the pigs in a blanket with home made
biscuits (as I was actually out of the Grands (and you can't say you
can make a better biscuit than Grands - I wouldn't believe you w/o a
recipe)).

Also, a plain chicken breast pounded out and cooked plain with garlic
infused olive oil and salt/pepper - deglazed with chicken base or white
wine and served with some type of starch is great. Not flavorless at
all.

Most of my days are like this now. I have so many ideas flitting
through my mind that I end up cooking none of them.
