Ya Know. Just cause it's only 3:20 where I am doesn't mean that it's not midnight where some one else lives. I think that Kenny the cook is going to get some diner going even though I just finished lunch. Huge restaurant pot and making spaghetti tomato sauce. Tons of herbs. MMMMMM. Got the kitchen laid out and going. My big secret. Italian seasoned bread crumbs. 6 containers of Contadina or the best name brand kind. Big bowls. Eggs. Slicing thick eggplant slabs. On the other table pounding out chicken breast cutlets. Cookie sheets for cooking and for keeping warm in the oven. The sauce is beautiful. frying pans with hot oil. Big eggplant slabs in the bowl of egg. Now into the seasoned crumbs. Double breading. Now back in the egg and a second costing of bread crumbs. Into the hot oil. Siiiiiiii Crack. Drained and laid out in the cookie sheets and laydle with too much sauce and smothered over with sliced aged provolone, some mozzerela, and buried with grated parmesan. Two sheets full onto the oven. Eggplant parmesan. More black pepper. More salt. Now the same with the chicken parmesan. And in the oven. Finish them each off by watching closely under the broiler. Golden. If ya don't want that I'm boiling spaghetti squash. Yummmm. Foods on! Pass the Chianti please. And there's other stuff. Everybody rinse yer plate and utensils when you're done, and throw them in one of the two dishwashing machines. Okay? We each do a little self clean up. Thanks. Go for it. I clean a lot while I'm waiting for stuff to cook. Help to kill the time. I'll help out too with the pans and pots.
Also, the kids here are almost done with finals and getting ready to move back home for the summer so they're throwing away unbelievably decent stuff. The Free Box is packed to capacity all day now. Yesterday I got a really nice drum, a 3 ft. bamboo flute, 2 sets of panpipes, a few odds and ends. Amazing that even with the economy the way it is now, kids are still just tossing away perfectly good stuff. Last year just about every homeless person in town wound up with a new bike.
Oh Aerianne I didn't see your dinner posting. Yum! Mex! I'm in! Have a dos XX Please ignore the above. That will happen tomorrow night. Okay? We'll just highlight, copy, and paste the whole meal. Now how easy is that? I ask you? Time machine. LOL
Of course, Capt._Obvious, you can have doubles before I hit the Delete Key, OK? Me I'm whoffing tacos.! Aerianne, here's another fresh magarita.
That's cool Kenny...I was vascillating between Italian and Mexican anyway...I wanted both so back to back nights on these will be great!
I Love that! "Last year just about every homeless person in town wound up with a new bike." Too bad you don't own a small warehouse and a truck. It sounds like you could make a years worth of living. Sell them their old stuff in August and September. LOL Smart.
It's like every day for the next week is Christmas. My biggest problem atm is that I can't think of anything I really need that I don't already have at least 1 or 2 of. Not a bad problem to have, and the scavenging is still fun.
People do exactly that. or they load up on stuff--clothes, furniture, electronics---and make a killing at the flea markets. And I agree it's pretty smart.
Well, speaking of which I think i'll take a ride into town and see what the free box looks like today. Have a great afternoon folks and maybe I'll drop back in tonight.
I lived near Ohio State back in the early 80's and kids were tossing stuff like crazy at the end of semesters. Man did I find some awesome stuff.
Fresh Margaritas for everybody. This song is dedicated to Aerianna. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-t-g_msR2o"]Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass -- Tijuana Taxi - YouTube

Oh Kenny! Thank You! I just got a little teary eyed with a smile. That was my mother's music. She used to crank Herb Alpert on the console stereo on house cleaning day when I was little, lol.
