I've managed to tame my wild beast down a bit, too. :~) I always
wake him up with tea or soda and I try to throw some joke in there to
make him laugh. Making him laugh makes me feel good, too. It takes a
very special man or woman to deal with an ornery partner. :~)

kili

We've discussed this on the phone. I still say you and Steven should
get together and TFM and I should. We could switch partners. Someone
would surely be murdered and the rest of us would wind up in the same
cell 😉

Michael

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:-D

Aren't you a sweetheart. I don't bake real well and I don't have the
time. He's lucky he got the chicken 😉

Quoted message said:

Better than KFC isn't necessarily much of a compliment. It's not
better than Popeye's.

I just don't like KFC.

Go for the Popeye's! I've tried fried chicken several times, and mine
can't beat Popeye's. So on those rare occasions that I get fried
chicken, I let someone else deal with the mess.

I sometimes make a variation of that with orange. Dredge in seasoned
flour, then into egg wash made with beaten egg and orange juice
concentrate. Add some grated orange rind to the bread crumbs and use
butter melted instead of olive oil.

Rosie and Dave, do your methods allow the chicken to crisp up a lot?
Sounds like it would. I'm curious about the olive oil Rosie posted
about.

Yes, it does get quite crispy.

Quoted message said:

I'm thinking both of your methods would be good when I next make
chicken strips. I'll be making chicken strips Halloween night. Somehow I
wound up inviting my friends and neighbors across the street to a
Halloween dinner.

I have done it with chicken fingers too.

It works a little better if you do it a little ahead of time and give the
egg time to set. It helps the crumbs to adhere better.

Quoted message said:

For the strips I'll whip up a BBQ sauce and a hot mustard sauce for dipping. I'll
do a test > run on the chicken strips using a combo of both your methods and see what
happens.

Chicken strips are good with plum sauce, and even better if you add a
little Chinese hot chili sauce to it. But add the chili sauce a little at a
time because it gets pretty hot. I find most BBQ sauces a little too sweet,
surprisingly more so than plum sauce.

I am nowhere near the accomplished baker that my mother is (she made
those challahs)

Take out Chinese could be kind of romantic and cozy, but that doesn't
quite fit the cake. I don't know, what goes with black forest cake?
Pork? You can't just pick up pork as take out, though. Well, you
know your area, you know what's available and you know what David
likes. In any case, wish him a happy birthday from me. :~)

kili

Thanks, kili! There's a good German restaurant not too far where I
could pick up weiner schnitzel, and another place where I could get
some good chicken fried steak, both of which he loves. It will
probably be one of those, unless I dream up something entirely
diferent. :-)

Ohhh... do it! Weiner schnitzel sounds really good.

Michael

I ended up getting the weiner schnitzel with späetzles and paprikas gravy,
red cabbage, cucumber and sour cream salad, and a dobosh torte. He was
delighted! They packed it up so nicely that it was piping hot and the
schnitzel was still nice and crisp. We just finished eating our meal a
short while ago, so haven't cut into the torte yet.

Yeah, German works with black forest cake. I agree, Michael. :~)

kili

I was able to get a whole dobosh torte at the German restaurant so I
skipped the bakery for the black forest cake. The torte looks divine!

Glad to hear all went well. That card is hilarious! I would love to
see it. Today is David's birthday and I haven't bought card, gift, or
anything yet. I hope I find a card as funny.

Tell David happy b'day from us. I found the card at either Petsmart or
Petco. They have some really funny animal type cards for all occassions.

Thanks, I will...

As for food, I'm going
to have to pick up something to bring home, as I still can't stand
long enough to really cook a nice meal and I have to work all day
anyway. He is still housebound recuperating with his new knee, so
anything tasty will seem like a treat.

Hmmmm... carryout. If he has a favorite restaurant you might see if
they'll fix you up with a carry out. Do you have a Sam's Club? They make
an awesome roasted chicken. I couldn't believe how good it was when I
bought one. I'm sure it's injected with fluid but when in a crunch what
is one to do 😉 Do you guys still drink alcohol? A really nice bottle of
wine would go nicely. Steven doesn't drink much, maybe 2 or 3 glasses of
wine about every 3 years so I don't bother. I can't drink these day
either. The liquor cabinet sits there all neglected. You could do a nice
picnic type thing. Really good food, tablecloth, wine. Jesus, I sound
like my mother.

We have a Sam's club, but not nearby. We go to Costco. However, almost
any restaurant out here will package entire meals for as many people as you
want to serve, so that's handy. Many will also deliver, but not the German
one I went to. I did do it up right. :-) We ate in the dining room,
tablecloth, candles, flowers...the whole works. No, we don't drink
anymore, but I will make espresso to go with the dobosh torte.

A local bakery makes an
authentic black forest cake that he loves, so that's already been
ordered. 2004? Yikes, that was a while ago!
