I LOVE chicken fried in ground pork skins!!!   So crunchy and delicious.  I've just used salt & pepper in the past, but I bet the seasonings in YOUR recipe make this even better!  Definitely trying it your way!  Thanks for sharing this Doug!   

Hey, not sure if you have a Sam's Warehouse in your area, but they sell these HUGE containers of chocolate almonds for around $10.  They aren't coated in chocolate, they just have a chocolate dusting on them.....delicious!

Yes!  I need to share with her the joys of almond flour & flax seed meal!   

Yeah, I only help out my friend on Saturdays, and there's really not a lot of baking going on on the weekend.  She does catering too, and right now is wedding season.   She also makes all kinds of jams & jellies and right now the farmer's markets are in full swing.  On Saturdays I am usually by myself. I mainly just wait on customers and clean the shop.  She has a lot of long time weight watcher customers so she sells a lot of "low sugar" items.  On the cases, she has all the nutrition numbers listed for each thing.  Even so.....the lowest carb item is a chocolate chunk cookie...and it still has 8 carbs.   I told her last week that I am BACK on the wagon.  Yesterday morning when I showed up for work, she had already left for the farmers market.   However.....on the stove she had left me a fried egg and a piece of sausage wrapped in foil.  She is such a GREAT friend.   

So glad to hear about Five Guys!  We have one in our town, and I have never even been there!  This will definitely be on my to do list! 

Thanks Umpa & Tony!  I sure didn't mean to hijack Sherri's post.  It was just so inspiring to me to see her courage and also thankful to know that I wasn't alone climbing back on the FTS wagon with you all.   Love you guys!

Hi Umpa & Tony!   Missed you folks!
As for the horses, we just have Rocky now... the Tennessee Walker.  I sold my paint horse after his bucking episode.  I'm just too old for that.  ha ha   Our daughter & new son in law have rented a place to live that has 10 acres in pasture.  They will probably be moving Rocky to be with them soon.  I may just be back to my cat then. 

Though I haven't been on here in a while, I have still been enjoying all my FTS recipes.  Mashed cauliflower is my favorite comfort food this time of year.  ....and it's going to be COLD here in GA starting tomorrow!  I probably don't even want to know what the temperature is down there in the Florida Keys.  ha ha   
 

...and don't forget about one of the main food groups...CHEESECAKE!!
