I am having a similar dinner as Natalka..I put a beef roast in the slow cooker this morning (its a slow cooker week!) and will have i.e. mashed potatoes, I p/u a bag of heirloom carrots on the weekend so will try them (they are all different colors, orange, purple, yellow, green??) stuffing, gravy. etc. And then its put on the brakes for a couple of days and have some lighter eating as I have a big weekend coming up with family get togethers for Easter. A fish fry on friday, ham dinner on saturday and turkey dinner on sunday! (and I am doing none of the cooking, just bringing fresh fish for the fry, appys for saturday and a dessert for sunday)

I really like their Big Crunch sandwich although I haven't had one in a long time..

Right now, it looks like it going to be some form of take out. I am feeling a bit better today but I am at our one of our retail outlets so the drive home is going to be longer and it also means I am on feet almost all day so as much as I do not want take out thinking it may be the only option depending on how I feel come the end of the day.

Most of our local KFC closed down and it was really weird, there one day gone the next. Literally up and running no notices nothing, the next day all the windows were papered up still no notices, a lot thought they were close for renovations or something but within a few days all of their signs were taken off the building and they were just gone. I hear we are not the only town where this happened. Funny thing is every location I know of where this happened is now a Chinese Take Out Place.

It is weird I agree...At least 3 that I know of within an hour radius has closed down in my areas as well--

Quick funny story-about 2+ years ago I stopped at a KFC for a bucket of chicken for a picnic that I was going to--there was a cashier and looked like one cook, there was no one in the store and it wasn't busy..so I ordered a bucket of chicken, the girl punched it in, the cook came to the window screaming " No Chicken! No Chicken! If you want chicken you have to wait at least one hour for it to cook!!"(?!?!) and went on and on (almost as bad as the Seinfeld soup episode) I just looked at the cook, the cashier was mortified and didn't know what to say or do, etc..I said "See ya" ...and just went somewhere else ..etc. But I did write KFC's head office that night and told them about the service or lack of..and they wrote back very apologetic and within a couple of weeks I received a bunch of coupons, there was a couple of vouchers for 15 piece complete meals and I think there was a couple+ vouchers for free dinners or sandwich combos ( I realize everyone has bad days , etc but this was the worse customer service ever, I don't know what was wrong with the cook--I just wanted a bucket of chicken ha ha ha)

Our KFC was nitorious for having no Chicken. One night my mom went in to pick up KFC at like 5:30 on a Thursday night. She was told they were out of chicken and they would not be making anymore because it wouldn't be ready until around 7 and they were hoping to close early. That was the worst time I had seen but on many occasions I heard of people being told they were out of chicken so you could order strips, popcorn or a sandwich but no meals with pieces of chicken. To be honest wasn't sad to see them go, most of the time KFC makes me feel sick, I cannot handle the grease so we only ate it once in a blue moon when I gave it. Now that we have to drive 30 minutes to get it so it never really get mentioned.

Working on supper which will be an old cheese stuffed potato with a salmon fillet and some mixed veggies...Just waiting on the potato to cool so I can scoop out the insides and add the cheese.

[krysta lynne]

made veggie burger for myself, baked potato casserole, and (not pictured) pork roast sandwiches for the carnivores

Here is a pic of the Heirloom Carrots (red, yellow & purple)-- some of you might have these all the time but its new to me and this is the coolest thing I have seen with food in awhile..lol..Does anyone know if these are genetically modified?? or just something "new?? I got a great kick out of cooking them, it looked like a fruit salad when they were cooked although some of the purple transferred to the yellow. They tasted okay but maybe not as sweet as a regular orange carrot (I hope the pic uploads okay and is not huge)

Cool carrots! I've only had the yellow ones.

No, they aren't GMO - just old varieties - the word heirloom means they have been around a very long time, and are usually distinct from those usually available commercially.

wow, there's a carrot museum online!

Supper tonight will be baked salmon pieces, roasted potatoes, and salad.
