You're a thrill a minute. Wow, I'm impressed with the utter horribleness of your friend's granddaughter. I think 5 year old girls can be pretty awful. I remember when my niece was 5. She didn't like the fact that DH and I were having a conversation without her one time and she bit me on the leg. I very nearly hauled off and spanked her butt, but I didn't want to be the bad guy, so I just screamed "Ouch!" Another thing she used to do was swipe things from people and take them home with her. I blame my inlaws for that one. They thought it was cute, for chrissake. She turned out well, though. Heavens knows how.
Here's your skillet fried chicken recipe: take chicken pieces, dip them in something liquid (you know, like melted butter
), them dip, roll or shake them in flour or something crumblike (say, crumbs, for instance, or maybe leftover cookies
) that has been seasoned. Cook them a few pieces at a time in an inch or two of really hot oil, or perhaps Crisco for that extra artery hardening benefit.
I'm going to have a salad made from leftover steak DH and DD had on the boat. I shall be tossing it with peas and scallions, cheddar cheese and lettuce. Lovely, no?
Tata,
