Fried potato sandwich has my curiosity, what is it and how do you make it?
Sliced some potatoes about 1/8" thick and pan fry. They are really an extra thick potato chip that stays moist like a baked potato in the middle. Sub them for a meat item in a sandwich. During the Great Depression when you didn't have meat potatoes worked. I don't do a lot of mayo but this is one place I really like to use it. It's really a tasty thing too. I posted on Burdell's peasant foods thread some of the thoughts behind it I think. Now I add sliced tomato and onion along with jalapeno peppers. That's my personal changes to the basics. They are definitely a carb cravers delight.

I'm usually cooking just for myself and find there's many things you can whip up quickly that are pretty good.
Tonight I plan on pan-seared sea scallops and I'll do a quick pan sauce with diced prosciutto, snow pea pods, shallots, white wine, and butter.
To go along I'll make what I call Risotto ala Fake-O, don't feel like doing all the stirring so I'll put arborio rice and about 2 1/2 the volume of boiling stock + seasonings in a covered pot in the oven for about 20 minutes. It doesn't come out quite as creamy as 'real' risotto but stir in a tbsp of cream or so and it's a pretty good sunstitute.
I coudn't run to the local Burger Burner and back for a Humongo Burger in the 1/2 hour total I may have in to doing it my way
Well, assuming the chicken is defrosted, we'll have the chicken tonight that we didn't have last night. I'm thinking that a little oven roasting might be the way to go. I'm watching calories very carefully for the rest of the week. Friday night, I'll be at one of the my favorite restaurants and it will HOG HEAVEN!
Barbequed baby back ribs (suace on the side), pulled pork, sweet potato with butter and brown sugar, baked beans, sweet tea and chocolate-pretzel-peanut pie!
I'm going to toss another grocery store pizza in the oven tonight. Cooking has not been a favorite activity as of late.
Of course, I'll serve a delicious salad bursting with veggies from my garden alongside. That may ease my guilt some.

What time shall I meet you?
You can have all my ribs; not a fan. But pulled pork ... yum ...
We have to change our plans to another fend for ourselves night. Hubby called and is working late, and the kids have Vacation Bible School, so we won't all be together until 9. *sigh* - I was looking forward to the chicken. Oh well....tomorrow!
Quick question....when making chicken quesadillas what do you use in the fry pan to crisp them---olive oil or butter?
