Wildcat Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Well, it's cold and damp here ~~ 40* with strong winds so it feels much colder ad the lack of sun makes it worse and I haven't been able to get warm for a few days. You northerners can quit laughing now ;) Seriously, though, it's a chilled-to-the-bone cold that I can't shake for some reason. Anyway, to get warm, I'm making French Onion Soup. The kids got a treat of chicken tenders, home fries, and chicken wings from the grocery, so have already eaten. Now, if dh will ever get home, I can start on that soup!! :toetap05: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanSue Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 UrbanSue, what is frying cheese? I don't think I've ever heard of it, but it sounds intriguing. queso de freir. It's kind of like queso fresco (fresca? ). You slice it and fry it in a dry fan and it gets all brown and delicious. Sometimes I put it on the side if it's a low-protein meal. Tonight I fried it, cubed it, and mixed it into the sauteed chard. Really good. I live in a very Hispanic neighborhood and it's available in all the stores here. Not sure if it's hard to find elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if dh will ever get home, I can start on that soup!! :toetap05: :D Have I told you about Lobster Baths? You run a hot bath and soak until your skin is pink and you start to feel a little too warm. Put your hair up because wet hair defeats the purpose. A proper Lobster Bath will raise your core temperature and help shake that can't-get-warm feeling. Follow up with hot tea and warm jammies and socks. Cover your head with a hoodie or cap. You'll look ridiculous and your family will point and laugh, but you won't care because you'll finally be WARM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard it called that, but I do what you would call "Lobster Showers" (don't like baths) even though they don't seem to help much. I just get really pink, but I'm still cold to the bone after. However, I am now sitting in bed with lots of warm soup in my tummy, wearing my flannel pjs, under a comforter and blanket, with flannel sheets and socks on my feet. And I have my robe on 'backwards' as my own 'snuggie'. I'm warming up slowly. Thanks for the suggestions!! :001_smile: I need to check out some of the other dinner suggestions .... there are many yummy sounding ones (but I need to go look up what crappie is and why it's fried). :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two species, the type species Pomoxis anularis, the white crappie, and the black crappie, P. nigromaculatus. Both species are popular game fish. The genus name Pomoxis derives from the Greek πώμa (cover, plug, operculum) and οξÏÏ‚ (sharp). The common name (also spelled croppie or crappé), derives from the Canadian French crapet, which refers to many different fishes of the sunfish family. Other names for crappie are papermouths, strawberry bass, speckled bass or specks (especially in Michigan), speckled perch, calico bass (throughout New England),[3] sac-au-lait (in southern Louisiana, lit "bag of milk")[4] and Oswego bass.[citation needed] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
