Really Was a Lovely Sunday
Almost looking ready for Christmas!
These berries or fruit or whatever they are, I can say are not very popular with the birds! There are loads of them on here and absolutely zero interest on the part of the birds!
Well we have had a dismal year as far as nice fall foliage. Perhaps too warm, maybe too cold, Who know, but I can say we have had very little of the brilliant golds and nearly none of the bright reds! Totally just meh!
The Japanese Maple leaves have seen better days. Hey for what its worth I can relate to these leaves, sadly well past our prime!
The Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday tags are some of my faves! I want to thank @ace108 for running the beautiful Sunday tag every week and keeping such detailed stats and supporting the accounts. Also, a shout out to @c0ff33a for the sublime Sunday tag where your random Sunday posts are always welcome!
Food is always a part of making Sunday special for us. One of our quick favorites is just making chicken nuggets from chicken breasts.
Cut chicken into small bites.
Whisk up a couple eggs for a nice egg bath. It really helps the chicken to hold the flour.
Speaking of flour this Kentucky Kernel flour is seasoned and so good.
It is also so very fine that it coats well. Just get a good coating of the seasoned flour and they are ready for the Fry Daddy.
Using the old Fry Daddy is easy and quick. It sets the temp of the grease so there is no worry about that. The only drawback is its limited capacity. I end up making several batches.
I think they come out pretty good looking. The chicken cooks fast because it is entirely covered in the hot grease. They reach well over 170F before the breading gets very browned. The amount of further browning and crunch is a judgment call for the cook to make.
I had just swept of the balcony the other day and look at all the leaves back already. We are losing them fast!
This about sums up this years color of foliage. Basically greens and brown with a little touch of yellow. Frankly it has been on of the worst in recent memory!
The trees right outside my bedroom window are the same! Green and brownish red perhaps.
Clearly not the bright golds of years past. Well 2021 hasnt been stellar in many respects, I suppose the leaf colors should be no different!
I wish us all a good week ahead!!!

Only a few eat those berries, here also stays at the tree, nobody touches them including birds. Those chickens look juicy and delicious and reminded me of KFC :D
It is just/only a little bit more than one month ago.
I am also ready. To spend it alone for the first time, like I spent my 29th birthday (on 2021.09.17) alone too, also for the first time.
I called my brother this Friday to tell him that it felt bad that he did not came to my birthday, and it would be good, if he could visit me this weekend. He said sorry, and he told me that we will see, it is possible, but he did not even called me on the phone.
I live with my female Harris's hawk, so I am not completely alone, but nobody visits me. Not even my brother. But he lives approximately only 14 kms away. He could easily come by bus. Buses are often coming.
Yes it is sad how life changes. I have my high school buddy living just 2 miles down the road. We have not even went to eat for over a decade. Perhaps we are just too busy. Maybe too lazy. It is what it is.
If the birds won't eat them, I probably wouldn't touch them. Rule of thumb. :)
The colors were a little more sedate this year, although I thought New England was pretty nice and Colorado too. I will be trying to go out to the Shenandoah one more time, it should be peak in the middle part of it this week, I drove end to end on it last week and it was peak in the lower end of it by Waynesboro. That is down closer to where you are going, I believe.
The chicken nuggets looks delicious although I have never used a fry daddy, I know they work well. My parents gave me one for Christmas years ago and I never used it, so I gave it to my sister. I never considered frying in those, but, after tasting it, I just wasted a fry daddy! Don't ask me why I have never eaten fried foods. Except for calamari. I do love that fried. Oh, wait! Clams too. Okay, to be fair, I must just be selective and like some seafood that way.
Those golden leave brighten up the whole scene and make it a happy shot. Looks like every day is a holiday for Mary after all! :) Have a great week!
Oh the Fry Daddy is used at least every week a time or two. The best part is you can dump in some frozen chicken nuggets and have some as good as Micky D's in minutes. Just shy of a miracle actually!
Wow, chicken nuggets with mostly real chicken.
Nice golden brown. Definitely nicer than the leaves on the ground.
The chicken looks amazing:)
Oh, good idea, I haven't cooked chicken nuggets for a long time))). And the berries in the preview look like wild cherries. Are they not edible?
