I don&#8217;t mind snow days.  I do mind losing power.  Not for the normal freezing reasons, initially, but because some people that I live with get DISTRESSED by power outage.  The distress magically ends when power returns.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;.hmmmm.<\/p>\n<p>When contemplating things on the horizon I find myself wanting to cook something.  And, I know a coping mechanism when I see one.  Frying chicken won&#8217;t really do anything to help, except for my mental health, you know.<\/p>\n<p>My mantra:  When in doubt, fry chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, speaking of cooking, the <a href=\"http:\/\/dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com\/2011\/01\/25\/the-minimalist-chooses-25-of-his-favorites\/\">Minimalist<\/a>, Mark Bittman, has his last column in the New York Times this week. He&#8217;s listed his 25 top recipes and I really think that y&#8217;all ought to go take a gander at it.  This is a great list from a cook who stir fried chicken using ketchup. He launched all the no-knead bread craziness that engulfed the foodie portion of the internet a few years ago. He does innovative things that normal cooks with normal kitchens can do.  So, get on over there and see if something looks good to you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got to go cook something.<br \/>\nY&#8217;all take care!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yikes!
