    Sorry, Charlie. Sunday (22 September 2024) is the Atumnal Equinox.
    Today 21 September) is my brother's natal anniversary. Happy Birthday, Phil!

    You're right; my internal clock is off. I am having "lost days" (where
    I am not feeling well and lay in bed) again and I literally cannot remember what day it is without looking at my watch.

    I'd like this sans the pine nuts:

    How about if you subbed sunflower kernels for the pignoli? I'm not a big

    No China Clippers? Seems the VA (or someone) would sponsor a set. My

    Agent Orange during his service in Vietnam. The local V.A.C. is ponying
    up for an upper plate for him.

    Pine nuts are hard to gum also. If I forget my store bought choppers
    I have to have sausage with my eggs rather than my preferred cripsy
    bacon. And hash-browns rather than tater tots.

    Title: Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole

    I do love me some Cracker Barrel.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
    Categories: None
    Yield: 1 Servings

    6 Large; tart apples, (Granny
    -Smith works best)
    1 ts Lemon juice
    1/4 c Bacon drippings
    1/4 c Brown sugar; packed
    1/8 ts Salt
    1 ts Cinnamon
    1/8 ts Nutmeg

    This originally came from Wendy Lockman, who said the originator was
    Grandpa Jones, the entertainer. Anyway, I tried it for the first time
    last spring, and I now make it almost weekly. Leftovers reheat well,
    too!

    Peel and core apples. Slice them into eighths.

    In a large skillet, melt bacon drippings. Place apples evenly over
    skillet bottom. Sprinkle lemon juice over them, then brown sugar,
    then salt. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, or until
    apples are tender and juicy.

    Uncover, and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well. Simmer for
    a few minutes longer until the pan juices begin to thicken.

    Serve hot as a side dish. This is especially good with ham, pork, or
    fish.

    They (VA) wouldn't pay up for my niece's bad teeth even though the
    dentist asked her "Was your father in Vietnam" then told her that the
    bad teeth were a genetic linked thing to his exposure to Agent Orange. Fortunately he's done fathering chirrun.

    Try getting a blackberry seed or popcorn hull betwen your plate and
    gum. That can make you cross your legs to control your bladder as well.

    Title: Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole

    I do love me some Cracker Barrel.

    My Sunday Morning Breakfast bunch visits C.B. on a regular basis. My
    standard order is Mama's Pancake Breakfast. I wish they still offered
    the blackberry topping for the panquakes. But they're down to apples
    or peaches. Smells like a bean counter decision to me.

    Title: Cracker Barrel Chicken Fried Chicken
    Categories: Poultry, Pork, Dairy
    Yield: 4 servings

    MMMMM-----------------------SAWMILL GRAVY----------------------------
    2 tb Bacon grease
    2 tb A-P flour
    1 c Whole milk or heavy cream
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 ts Freshly ground black pepper

    MMMMM-------------------CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN------------------------
    Oil; for frying
    2 c A-P flour
    2 ts Salt
    2 ts Ground black pepper
    1 c Buttermilk
    1/2 c Water
    4 Boned, skinned chicken
    - breasts

    SAWMILL GRAVY: Melt the bacon grease in a cast-iron
    skillet over medium heat. When it melts, add the flour
    and cook for approximately 1 minute, stirring
    constantly, until it becomes fragrant like pie dough.

    Add the milk or heavy cream, and whisk until the gravy
    thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

    CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN: Pour 3" to 4" of oil into a deep
    fryer or large pot and heat the oil to 350┬║F/175┬║C.

    Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

    In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and water.

    If your chicken breasts are not uniform in size, place
    them between two pieces of wax paper and gently pound
    them with a meat pounder until they are more uniform.
    Then pat them dry with a paper towel.

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge
    the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour, dip them in
    the buttermilk, and then dredge again in the seasoned
    flour.

    Deep-fry the chicken in the hot oil until done, about 7
    to 8 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over while frying
    to make sure both sides are golden brown. Then remove
    the chicken from the oil and let it drain on a wire
    rack.

    To serve, place two chicken breasts onto a plate and
    pour some sawmill gravy on top.
