    @Truth.... Seems as if you & I got called "two dumb" over on the chicken thread. Why won't the trolls leave our peaceful food blog alone? *deep sigh*

      That thread is spewing forth some of the worst postings I've seen on here, and that is a tall statement.

        It's a mess. I don't think I can recall a time where I've seen such outright mean spirited behavior. I'm staying away from it all.

        Ahh..I see you managed to find your little hateful spineless (and non-spelling I might add) way to this page too! Proud of you cupcake! I also see you just don't get it...as usual. Where, in your unintelligible and awfully misspelled babble, do you make a case that I have bashed homosexuals. To each their own I say. As for you, my little angry and misguided friend, you need a drink and maybe a nice dose of Prozac so you don't explode. By the way, guess one wouldn't have to look too hard to find us. You did.

      I was moderated.

      Go for the SMALL filet – medium rare.

      Heaven help I use the french word for small on here. Seriously need to loosen up the moderation levels here as its boardering stupidity.

          I agree! There has to be a way to include whole words, and not just a few letters within any word! And some of the language going on over on the Filet-A-Chik thread is ridiculously inappropriate....

      Many happy returns and do something good for yourself. I didn't think much of hitting 40, but fifty is looming large.

          I cut my hours back to part time (although I still have my full time workload *eye roll*) and on my days off I'm busy keeping the boys entertained. They play well together for short periods of time but then someone gets a truck stolen or their head stepped on and it's all downhill from there.

    Good morning! Another cloudy day here in the DMV, hope to see some sunshine soon :-) I fully plan on avoiding all shopping centers that include businesses that sell fried chicken....no desire to deal with any of the crazies that will be out. I drove by one this morning and the nuts on both sides were already out in full force.

    Really enjoyed the posts on barbecue. The comments from militant misguided vegans, not so much. I like the National (whatever) Day articles too. Going out to water my garden now. My Cherokee Purple tomatoes, Ghost peppers and Trinidad Scorpion peppers are coming along nicely!
