Ha! I'm glad my little ta...SeaPhoenix, thank you. Ha! I'm glad my little tales of things like Yummy Food are keeping you entertained. We aims to please.<BR/><BR/>Jan, my love, my cooking skills aren't so great as they may have sounded there. I'm in the *decent* category, no more. I do love to cook, a *plain cook* as they say, right? But my repertoire is limited - which is fine by me. <BR/><BR/>Mostly, I'm a recreational cook. I cook for the fun of it. You, a mother, cook day in and day out to feed your family. That's something I have a great deal of respect for. I don't know how my mom got through that. We were not appreciative kids, and she deserved far more from us than she got. I tell her that now. <BR/><BR/>Feeling better is always good, isn't it! I never take it for granted. I make sure to enjoy it while it's there. Ms. Hand is doing better every day, and I'm trying hard to give those feets their proper rest.<BR/><BR/>Ah, Pretty Lady, another true appreciator of Happy Time. And I cannot get over this nephew business. Another little nudge of the hand of fate, I think. This will be very interesting indeed.<BR/><BR/>Pepek, remember the crab leg on a plate? ;-) I forget sometimes that not everyone likes seafood, so I'm glad you do.<BR/><BR/>Jack, oh no!!! - are you allergic? Not being able to eat shrimp would make me just <I>cry.</I> Whatever it is, I'm really sorry you can't eat 'em any more.<BR/><BR/>If you like onions and garlic, you might like that shallot dressing on something else. Nuking them like that, it's really easy to caramelize onions of any kind. On the stovetop it's tricky, I tend to burn them, and it's hard to get 'em to cook evenly. Purists may look down their noses at me for it, but nuking those caramelized onions is THE way to go at the k ranch.<BR/><BR/>Now: Pepek, SeaPhoenix - About that liver ring.<BR/><BR/>I am most decidedly NOT a liver eater. So much so I used to have to leave the building if livers were being cooked. I tried to make Walter his chicken livers a few times, early on, but it simply could not be done.<BR/><BR/>I'm better with it now, but certainly like to maintain my distance. When I took him by the Special Sausages section at Penn Dutch - they produce their own meat products - that Liver Pudding ring looked, to me, like something most discerning people would Not Want.<BR/><BR/>Note, please, that it's not just a liver food. And not just a *ring* food. Nope. It's a Liver PUDDING Ring Food.<BR/><BR/>Think about that.<BR/><BR/>It looked like it, too.<BR/><BR/>And I was happy to put it in the shopping basket of the store scooter, and happy to surf up How To Cook The Ring Thing, and happy to stick it in the little oven for him.<BR/><BR/>The things we do for love...<BR/><BR/>Oh - and White Castle was a Chicagoland chain too, since forever it seems. Living in a Far North Suburb, I didn't have the early Slider experiences some of my friends recounted to me in adulthood.<BR/><BR/>They did tell me why they're called Sliders, like this: They are not large. They are greasy. So much so - I was told - that they slide right in your mouth end, and slide right out the other.<BR/><BR/>This instructive tale had the ring of truth to it. I've had a White Castle burger precisely once in my life. I survived the experience just fine, but never repeated it.<BR/><BR/>Instead I just bask in the joy of watching other folks truly happy in their Slider Consumption. Yup. A non-participant observer.<BR/><BR/>Granny J. Thank you for your concern. As I go about relearning my movements and habits to become More Safe I think of you often, and Pepek too, because of your earlier reactions to some of my injuries a while back. You two and DC got me refocused on this question a couple years ago now.<BR/><BR/>We're okay. Well, you probably already read the new post. No new health emergencies, thank heaven! and the existing ones are on the mend. Just needed some quiet time to absorb major changes in our lives.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to post those pix Walter took, too. He took them in...are you ready?...Arizona!khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-84468334465371948652008-05-25T00:36:00.000-04:002008-05-25T00:36:00.000-04:00You've been quiet again for several days, k, and I...You've been quiet again for several days, k, and I start worrying about you and about Walter, too. I hope and pray that all is well as it can be for both of you.

We have a restaurant chain "White Castle" that serves "chicken rings", I'm just wondering, What part of the chicken does the "ring" come from?
