I saw that!
Rabies was involved, so all the folks involved are going to have shots!

Still, one might wonder of the Bobcat was coming in for the special on “Alleycat Margaritas” was still good.

Last summer a bobcat was looking into my diningroom through the patio sliding doors. Looked right at me. I was SO glad the sliders were closed.

A week later, he (or his twin) burst through the screen door of a neighbor - while they were home. If you are interested, here is the story:

A bobcat in your house! Now there’s an unwanted intruder at the best of times. Good reason to keep the old shotgun handy!

That must have been so frightening for your neighbors..I keep my sliders closed all the time..took off all but one screen..Cats love to climb them ..and a heavy raccoon might do damage.when they beg. Rabies does occur in our county..often enough to make me wary.

Good morning, Yorkie. Thank you.
I think that Red FRiday Opener is sooo cute.

Re: Post 2537 .... I don't think I like Green Tomatoes
but I'm saving your recipe for my hubby.
I'm the southerner but he's the one that loves them.
Your recipe sounds good ... I just might have to try them again. :)

Hope you are having a great Friday and looking forward to a beautiful weekend.

Amy, instead of cornmeal, try PANKO bread crumbs (found in the Asian section of your market.) I LOVE Japanese bread crumbs, and I’ll bet you will like the fried green tomatoes, sauteed with PANKO. (BTW, PANKO is all that Paula Deen will ever use, when bread crumbs are called for.)

Thanks for that info, Yorkie. I have never used or heard of PANKO bread crumbs. Do you use them in meat loaf or meat balls?

I will give them a try.

No, not “IN” food, but as topping for casseroles and for sauteeing food (or frying). It leaves a beautiful, crunchy, crispy crust (if directions are followed) on everything.

Say you are wanting to make eggplant parmesean. First you dip the purple slices into dry tempura mix, then in an egg wash, then in panko. Then place in skillet with hot oil on medium heat. It browns beautifully. Same with chicken fried steak, fried chicken or chicken wings, fish, pork chops, or any vegetables. (Zucchini is excellent cooked this way!)

Here is a picture of the bag, with a nice recipe for crab-cakes: http://www.theperfectpantry.com/2006/08/panko.html

Oh ... as a crunchy crust. Thanks for setting me straight. I would have tried it in place of breadcrumbs in meatloaf and had my hubby use it when he cooks spaghetti and meatballs.

I might have had an angry chef. LOL

I have always used breadcrumbs (regular) and oatmeal (quick) in meatloaf or meatballs. Some Italians will roll their meatballs in flour before browning them. Makes the sauce a bit thicker, and holds the juices in the meatballs.

Good morning, Rus. Thank you for today's Scripture Lesson.
Always a great way to start the day.

Is there a Tea Party planned for your area on the 15th?
One in Fresno is still being organized.
It is exciting ... at least two radio stations are on board..
Organizers are hoping to get other local media to start reporting this.
The organizers are hoping for 5000 participants.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if 5000 fed-up citizens
gathered at the approx 600 planned Tea Parties across this nation?

Hope you are having a Fantastic FRiday. Have a Blessed Weekend.

Thank you, Aqua.

I think your Opening Graphics are beautiful just the way the are, but
If you ever want to put borders and/or background tables
with your graphics, just email me the coding.

Billie has done this a couple of times.
Or ... if you want to post your Opening, I can email you the ping list.

I use either breadcrumbs or quick oatmeal in my meatloaf. Hubby uses breadcrumbs in his meatballs. That is what his mother used. I don’t think he rolls them in flour; I will ask him to try that.

Thanks for the info.
