        You can either grill or oven bake them. Hint: if you like crispy (and who doesn't), cook a little longer. LOVE the seasoned kind though.

          Roger that, crispy is a must have! It's been so frakking hot here, I crank up the a/c then I can use the oven, it's even too hot to go outside to the grill... :(

          It's so hot that my pillow has no "cool side", sad sad state of affairs out here.

    Happy Birthday Darlin' and may the coming year be one filled with health, love and happiness!

    Some tunage in your honor:

    I especially love the last song, despite that it mentions California. Sounds like he is channeling Jerry Garcia or Duane Allman.

    I allow myself one depressing thought per day. Here is todays: On this day last year, Hubs and I had just dropped Thing 1 off for his first day of preschool. This time next year, we will be taking Thing 1 to his first day of kindergarten and Thing 2 to his first day of preschool. *le sigh* Where has the time gone?

    On a brighter note, TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

      And in a blink, about this time a few years from now, you'll be helping Thing 1 move out of the house into a college freshman dorm room. Take lots of pictures of the happy and the sad. How can watching your kids grow up be sad unless it makes you feel older :)

      You know you're old when your belt serves double duty as your bra...

    Morning everyone! This is my posting for the day. I've got training all day and then working tonight. If I'm lucky, I'll get a 4 hour nap before tonight. Today's training sounds like a real snoozer "People Skills For Law Enforcement". I want to see how this can be a four hour lesson.

    @Queen Of Everything- we haven't "met" yet, but I've seen all the birthday postings. Happy Birthday!

        *claps sarcastically* good one

        I've only been in this job for 5 years and taught the class at my last department. It's the same material. Today's instructor had the voice that rivals Ben Stein. After an all night shift the night before and then sitting through that before another night shift was a real "fun" way to spend my day. They could at least make it entertaining.

    Stella said, "Was that lady across the street from you Lorena Bobbitt?"
    "Yes," Stew replied. "Wait ... what do you mean 'was'? "
    "I just watched a moving van pull out of her driveway." Stella asked. "Looks like she has moved away."
    "No, I didn't see any of that," Stew answered. "I have to study for my obstetrical exams. Since it's easier for me to study standing up, I taped my notes to the living room window."
    Stella takes his study materials off the window to show him his neighbor is gone, to which Stew responded,

    "I can see clearly now Lorena's gone
    I can see obstetricals in my way ..."

      Good morning dude. Yesterday, I saw a driver make a 90 degree turn in reverse into a loading dock that required he miss a light pole by inches. Pucker factor for me a 9.5.

      Happy b day Q!
