Spicy Chicken Tenders

I used Panko Breadcrumbs and added cayenne pepper to my mayonnaise.

 

Italian Herb & Parmesan Chicken Tenders

I added Italian Seasoning to my plain Panko breadcrumbs. You can alternatively just use Italian breadcrumbs.

Summer 2011 Weather

Posted on by Tammy Sue

They called for average temperatures and “not at as bad as 2010,” but I guess I forgot how hot it was last summer. We are all feeling it this year. Everyone I know all over the country is complaining. But with a level of humor and acceptance if the pictures below are any indication.

I think the last picture just about sums it up. I’m right between the U and the M.

Bye Bye Netflix

Posted on by Tammy Sue

My billing cycle starts on the 19th of the month. I dropped the current disc out in the mail this morning. They’ll have it tomorrow. I don’t think now is the time to hike up your price 60%. But I’m not in charge over at Netflix.

There are a lot of other options out there people. I recommend you take the time to either:

a) adjust your plan so you don’t automatically get charged the price increase (if applicable)
b) cancel your membership NOW and look at your options.

I may go back to Netflix at some point. They do keep your que for 2 years so you don’t have to rebuild that if you do choose to go back. As for me, I have a Playstation 3 so I can rent SD or HD movies from the Playstation Network without a monthly charge. I just pay for each rental individually.

A Roku box is another inexpensive option. I always used either my PS3 or Wii to stream Netflix. You can use the Roku box also. Roku lets you rent movies on Demand from Amazon and access Hulu, Pandora, Crackle and more. It’s worth checking out.

Book Review – The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest

Posted on by Tammy Sue

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's NestThe Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larsson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved it! Awesome closure to the Millenium Trilogy. I LOVED the courtroom showdown. Blomvkist’s sister, Advokat Giannini, kicked ass! My only recommendation would be to read this one right after finishing The Girl Who Played With Fire. This novel picks up right where that one left off. I had a little trouble remembering all the characters from the 2nd book when I started this book. I picked it up and it was fine, but if you can go from one right into the other, like say…The Vampire Lestat straight into The Queen of the Damned, you’ll be in good shape.
