I woke up at 5 and had an egg salad sandwich about 6:30. Gross I know, but it was good. I used to rarely eat breakfast on the weekdays. But I eat it all the time now- scratch that, I am eating all the time now.

We went to the garden center and got some plants- ground covers and a coupla others. Planted them and then I took a nap- a really long one.

Woke up in time for my game to air, you know the NFL, the manly game that the men on this board turn up their nose to in favor of girly talk of Scrubs etc... I know the Cowboys won (ofcourse), but the point of preseason is to see what's going on with who. I am pleased so far.

A kipper, is a whole fish that has been split from tail to head, gutted, salted, and cold smoked.
Typically, the species is a herring or salmon, but traditionally it is any fish found in great numbers and caught during its spawning period. Spawning fish are not good to eat fresh and usually arrive in great abundance, thus they are salted and smoked to improve flavor and preservation.
A red herring is a whole unsplit fish. Red herring can be served cold, sliced thinly across the body with new bread and butter or a salad as a starter. In theUK and theeastern seaboard of North Americathey are often eaten grilled for breakfast, with grilled onions and scrambled eggs...
