I went to a garden party

The storm has finally passed but today is very cold and damp. We lost power twice yesterday, once because of the storm and once because 2 transformers blew up. A total of 6 hours without power! Just when we thought we could get back to normal...nay! nay! In the dark again! We finally had supper at about 8:30 PM. I was going to just fix sammies at that point but I had my mouth all set for what I originally planned. I tried Paula Dean's recipe for Southern Fried Chicken and, OMG, it was so-o-o-o-o good! Every one's cholesterol probably went up but I think it was worth it! Mmmmmm! Made extra so I would be sure there were leftovers! I have a real hard time making the right amount of food since I am still subconsciously thinking that my son is here. But, what I did was buy a bunch of those divided containers and the leftovers get packed up right away in those and popped in the freezer. He still gets some home cookin' and it saves on his grocery bill. It is so expensive to buy for one person who is trying to cook for one person! He is a good cook but doesn't always feel like cooking just for himself. He ends up cooking for the 5 roommates and THAT gets a little expensive! He has finally started to ask them to go buy the groceries and he will do the cooking. Much smarter...glad he finally learned! My tuition dollars at work!
