What are sunspots? Beyond the astronomical phenomenon I mean.

^^ I will not wiki that at work.

After months of really bad citrus, we FINALLY got some really good mandarin oranges. I can't wait for lunch.

No clue what lunch will be, but I feel like brooding in the kitchen for several hours and making a kick ass dinner. Cooking relaxes me a lot.

sunspots= sweet potato potato chips

 

[Master slacker]

Those sound good! Can't say I've seen any in my neck of the woods. Then again, I don't do the grocery shopping unless we're in dire need of one or two things. Even then, I only get those one or two things and whatever else pops into mind that we may need.

PB&J and an apple.

I don't have it, but my sister just raves about the pampered chef potato chip maker...it is for the microwave and she claims they are to die for...for all sorts of chips, potato, sweet potato, apples...etc

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I've had homemade fruit chips before and they are awesome.

 

[kevo_55]

Sweet potato chips sound good!

Heck, frut chips sound good too!!

I need ideas for dinner tonight. Suggestions?

I don't care if I need to go to the grocery store to get ingredients.

fried plantain chips are very yummy with hummas...

a slice of pizza (my food choices are degrading as my time until the move lessens)

K1F3 - I love fish tacos, though I make them slightly differently. Tilapia is awesome, and I've got a great recipe for tilapia with strawberry lime salsa.

Snick - Got a recipe for that lemon chicken?

let's see i just made it the other day.

It's a marinade. directs said let it sit 2-4hrs...4 hrs was too long, it was still really good but lemon was strong. 2 hrs would probably be better. Recipe was technical for chicken parts (wing. thighs, etc) but I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and grilled it.

1 tbsp lemon zest

1/2 cup of lemon juice

3 cloves garlic-minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1tsp paprika

1/2 tbsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

Mmmmmm....sounds tasty. I think I might be leaning towards something below sea level though.

I'd recommend some grilled fresh salmon if you can get it. Or a good salmon burger with sweet potatoe fries or chips.
