Chicken Cesar Salad, though I fear I might have to eat a little something else before the night is out.

Pork Chops

London Broil marinated in soy sauce, red wine and black pepper, green beens and rice.

Chicken fillets in cracked black pepper

Just had mince and dumplings with mashed potatoes and garden peas....
Lovely, hearty grub

That sounds great. You're the king of hearty meals.

This week is the Pennsylvania Farm Show, which is held about 15 minutes from my house. It is the world's largest indoor agricultural exposition. My kids and I usually attend.

Tonight my daughter and I will be there. A highlight is the food court with a multitude of rural, homemade delights. Roast beef sandwiches, pork barbecue, fried fish, hand cut fries, potato doughnuts, apple tarts, soups, thick homemade milkshakes, maple ice cream, etc.

That all sounds lovely Kly...
do you hear that sound?
It's my tummy rumbling...

That sounds like some good eatin Klyd.

It was. I started out with the creamiest baked potato I ever had in my life. Later my daughter and I had pulled pork barbecue sandwiches, which we always get there although the turkey and beef looked good. I had a smoked trout chowder as well, and brought a couple of thick milkshakes home for the boys and some fried vegetables.

My son, who couldn't go because he had a band try out that was school related, missed it. I'm going to take him Friday, so I can do it all over again and try the honey or apple dumplings and potato doughnuts.

All in all, this is a great event even without the food. We walked among exhibits of thousands of cows, horses, bison,chickens, ducks, rabbits and sheep. The state prize winners were very impressive animals.

There is a "sheep to shawl" contest where a team is given several hours to shear a sheep, spin the wool and make a shawl. My daughter and I usually watch the pony pulls where teams of work mules compete in dragging increasing weights in the main arena, but I must admit that last night's main arena event was a little odd. There was a guy calling square dances and the participants were about 16 guys driving tractors, as if they were dancing, following the calls.

Holy crap! You're killing me Klyd. How long from the GW Bridge?

About 2 1/2 hours with average traffic.

I have to go back before it ends as friends were telling me that the turkey chili is the best they ever had.

The event lasts about a week. When I worked in downtown Harrisburg, we would go there every day for lunch and I would gain 10 lbs. that week.

The funny thing is that many of the farm families that come for the week and stay in the complex look forward to going to Burger King, Popeye's Chicken and the pizza shops that week.

Spaghetti & salad

Klyd, I LOVE pulled pork. I rarely get decent pulled pork in NY, though, so it's a real treat for me when I do.

10 lbs. in a week? From the food you described, I'm surprised it's not 20!!!

I had a Chicken kebab with salad and chilli sauce

How often do you pull pork in New Jersey?

Go ahead. Mock the pork! You were the girl that giggled during Biology, weren't you?

Yesterday was 2 spicy chicken sandwiches and a large chili from Wendys and the day before was a Beef Supreme Gordita Combo from Taco Bell

Tonight we had chilli beef stew done in the slow cooker and served with cabbage,green beans,mashed potatoes and carrots...
Very tasty

Apart from the Cabbage songs beautiful,could you post me some please mate?

That does it. I'm moving in. Mealtimes sound great in your house.

We went to Outback Steakhouse for my Sister-in-law b-day dinner.

I love them cheesefries.

Aw, but they're bad for you Miggie. They're listed as the #1 worst food for you in America. Click Here

Was not aware of that PB. But hey are delish though.

Oh, I love them myself, even though I'm not a big fan of Outback in general. When I read that article last month it blew me away. Can you imagine a single plate of fries having 3,000 calories?

I'll give them a try. Can't be any worse than my cooking.

They certainly are my friend

Chopper,its on its way,minus the cabbage

Oh yeah i nearly forgot...
Tonight we had chicken casserole!

We had a leftover pork roast from the other night, so Mr. Babe cut it up and used it to make a ton of pork fried rice in his wok. It was excellent.

Went to Carnegie Deli for a pastrami/tongue sandwich. It was okay, but they seem to worry more about quantity over quality over there. I actually like the place by me better! Went to see a friend of the family debut at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall (I made her site). I saved the second half of the sandwich for later, but considering I was rushing to the bathroom 2 hours after the first half, we'll see....

Sorry about the sandwich, JG, but what a nice site you designed for her! She's a lovely girl. How was the performance?
