hmmmmm.

my sis tried to call me. I called gram, she hasn't heard anything.

99 times out of 100, she needs something...

guess I'll schlep over to smoky's and call her back.

my phone don't work in my house, but does in his, 500 feet away...

baking a potato again. ready for more disappointment. gonna try a little of smoky's blue bonnet margarine this time. it has less than 2 % whey.

dunno if whey is gonna trip my dairy trigger or not. but it hasta taste better'n the last crap I tried...

@Rockhead,
Just for what it's worth, I'm using a Land O Lakes concoction made with butter and olive oil. I don't have special dietary problems regarding butter/dairy, but it seems like the best compromise, all around. Don't know if it's stocked in your area, of course. Oh, and it spreads better than butter right out of the refrigerator.

I'm talking with some locals that I know to have lactose problems, just trying to get a feel for how sensitive most folks are...

@Rockhead,
a little chili on that baked tater with just a bit of the faux cheese

mighty tasty eh

keep the jam/preserves for chicken - then it, makes an awesome glaze - will look up a recipe later

buy some nice inexpensive chicken thighs if you see them on special

@ehBeth,
oooh here's a nice one

http://www.recipe.com/chipotle-peach-glazed-chicken/

1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
8 chicken thighs (about 2-1/2 lb. total), skinned*
1/3 cup peach preserves
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 to 3 tsp. chopped canned chipotle chile pepper in adobo sauce

add ingredients to list

Directions
1.
In a small bowl combine salt, black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of the nutmeg; sprinkle evenly over chicken thighs. For glaze, in a small saucepan combine peach preserves, vinegar, chipotle chile pepper, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg; heat and stir just until preserves are melted. Set aside.
2.
Prepare grill for indirect grilling. Test for medium heat above the drip pan. Place chicken thighs, bone sides down, on grill rack over the drip pan. Cover and grill for 50 to 60 minutes or until tender and no longer pink (180 degrees F), brushing with glaze during the last 10 minutes of grilling. Makes 4 servings.
3.
*Test Kitchen Tip: If you prefer, use 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 pounds total). Prepare as directed in Step 1. Place chicken breast halves on the grill rack directly over medium heat; grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling and brushing often with glaze during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

@ehBeth,
I buy a giant package of breastses when I catch them on sale, and freeze them in pairs. I think they prefer to stay in pairs, personally...

not much of a dark meat guy.

what kinda chili? (mostly anything but whole fresh chili's are on the verboten list)

@Rockhead,
what kinda chili do you like? maybe a variant of your enchilada sauce?

I do love chili-topped taters. Even the ones from Wendy's.

@Rockhead,
Then that would not be stealing would it?

Sour cream substitute. Is there such a thing? I am interested to hear.
I just sent the boys to baseball practice after a big bowl of chili. I am pretty sure no one there will be thanking me.

@mismi,
I use yogurt for almost everything that calls for sour cream. hamburgboy turned me on to that. Now I prefer it.

(I still feel a bit doodooey, but man am I sleeping!)

@ehBeth,
yogurt is still made from milk.

I'm thinking of trying goat yogurt, to see if it's just cows I dislike now...

I tried almond yogurt, but it's kinda like almond cheese.

better than nothing, but not something I'd offer a guest...

@ehBeth,
Oh I love that word doodooey. I am going to start using it. But I am sorry you are still feeling that way. Sleep is good though. Hope you feel better soon!

I love yogurt - but yeah Rock that's still milk. I had a no fat yogurt smoothy with bananas and blueberries in it this morning. It was delish. As my tumbly rumblies.

Tofutti's Sour Supreme. That is a small little pic. Sorry about that.

http://vegetarian.about.com/od/guideproductpicks/qt/vegansourcream1.htm
There's a homemade version from tofu. Not sure if it's worth the effort or not though.

@Rockhead,
yogurt is safe for some folks with lactose troubles, not others

once your gut feels good, you might be able to sneak in a tiny bit of yogurt on or in something to see how it goes ... not just yet
