Every now and then, someone will complain to me about their comment being shunted to “moderation.” The implication is, I am punishing them for some unknown affront. This is never the case. True, posts with certain words—use your imagination—automatically will be held for moderation, but this is seldom the problem with the rare posts that do, for unknown reasons, get sidetracked. I just dumped the moderation queue. There were only 65 comments that had accumulated over months and months. Not too bad, I’d say, but I will try to do a better job staying on top of the comments that, for whatever reason, wind up in moderation. If it happens to you, don’t take it personally. As I’ve said, I almost never nix a post for any reason.

Haven’t found really good chicken fried steak around here (eastern Appalachians) in ages. Found it in plenty of places, but not done right. Also my Dr. would tell me a plate load of it with all of the trimmings would not be good for me. Not sure I have the capacity for chicken fried steak done in traditional size.
Have been reading up on subject and lots of comments that people not cooking it at home any more, hence my butcher’s remark that they weren’t doing them for meat cooler any more. Then I began reading about best place restaurants in state to eat them and reading customers comments.
Has everyone forgotten how to cook? I do remember places that used to put the steak on one oval platter and the sides on a second. I didn’t order them but I bought a few!
I have a mallet, also…just depends on how much frustration I have to rid myself of when I…well, you know.
“You can lick our chops, but you can’t…”, well, you know.
Pre-breaded, frozen CFS is evil. It can usually be immediately distinguished from the real deal by the gooey layer just under the the breading that resembles the rubber cement we used for art projects in grade school.

The Oklahoma State Meal is the World Famous Kilgore College Rangerettes??
That is what happens when an unsecured hooled…
Just a minute Hal! I typed “unschooled computer illiterate tryst to copy something and post it.”
Hal did it again! Where does he come up with this stuff?
Ghost: I get the same gibberish when I click your site. Maybe it’s my laptop. Peace,
Perhaps because I have cooked since I was very young I am unforgiving of most food service products and especially frozen or canned, defrosted and opened. It does not have to be pretentious, I just want fresh and that seems at a premium today. There is nothing that annoys me more than paying for bad food unless it is a wait staff that honestly believes that Cool Whip and canned pie filling mixed is a lemon pie.
The feeling bad coupled with a dive bombing noisy fly has gotten to me.
Official Oklahoma State Meal http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-official-item/oklahoma/state-food-agriculture-symbol/official-meal-oklahoma
Thank you Sand! It is such a huge meal was one of reasons I was trying to post it. The squash isn’t the healthy butternut shown but fried yellow or zucchini I believe. I am surprised they chose black eyed peas as you almost always see pinto beans on menus or plates.
I think the pecan pie was a nod to our frozen pie industry but so much fried okra is eaten here the joke is the state should be called Okrahoma.
For the hungry, when you are near Houston.

Great restaurant. Bet it’s their own cooking.
HAHA about the meal! That’s about three, indeed. I guess they were afraid to leave anything out.
By the way, the Anonymous 2 above were me, on my iPad which I updated to IOS 10. Also did my phone. I seem to be having a bit of a learning curve again. May have been a mistake.
I need to make a run to Bigger City Wednesday, and I’m trying to work it out to be there at lunchtime so as to visit one of the three restaurants there owned by a local chef. All serve good, fresh, carefully prepared food. Not surprisingly, his interest in food dates back to growing up watching his Grandmama and Mama cooking at home.
I’m jonesing for some grilled oysters (probably from the Oysters Rockefeller I had last week on my trip), and they are excellent there. I’ll likely do the double-appetizer-as-an-entree-with-a-house-salad thing.
Debbe 😉 I have been lately, haven’t I?

You do realize there is no where in Oklahoma to eat an oyster, grilled or otherwise? I woke up from a sound sleep to read food porn!
Goodnight y’all. Well, it wasn’t very sound.
Saturday, a week past losing my Grand Am to that &*^%^ idiot texting while driving, my back started aching. If it’s still hurting tomorrow, I’ll be calling the clinic where most of my specialists work.
On the plus side, with the proceeds of the car portion of the payout, I’m planning to fix up a friend’s LeSabre that he’s generously given to me instead of a charity (we’ve been swapping favors for years).
And I’m buying an A clarinet to supplement my Bb clarinet and bass clarinet… which will be my first ever purchase via Ebay. I’m nervous, but excited.
Good that you are doing something that will make you happy. When a bad negative event can have a positive result then we win and the bad guys lose! So wonderful you have your music.
Comic “Herman” is good today, 10/4.
Good morning Villagers….
Question….why is it called chicken fried steak when it’s made with sirloin??? Inquiring minds want to know. 🙂
Nancy, nice pic….now, if that would have been a pic of Sean Connery, I would definitely have a double 🙂 ..and I don’t even drink scotch. Did many, many years ago, but I would have a shot of Drambuie in it….known as ‘Rusty Nail’.
gotta go

Debbe, because it’s coated in the same batter you would use for frying chicken.
I have made a recipe that I call Pork Chopped Fried Turkey breast. I coat in seasoned flour (with a little Cajun fish seasoning, egg, back to flour and coat with panko or Italian bread crumbs. I made it for my daughter who was home visiting and she was like “well I’ll eat it” and by the middle of the meal, she asked if she could take the leftovers home.
Chicken Fried Steak is definitely a southern thing, but we love it up in the North as well.
There was a mention, last year, on the TV show Criminal Minds of something called “Chicken Fried Lobster.” Never ran across it, but it sounds good!
