After watching Pioneer Woman's new television show debut this morning, Trevor is set for me to make chicken fried steak. Although Hurricane Irene is moving up the coast, we are far enough inland to not need something quite so, mmm, wintery. It's low 80s outside, very cloudy and more wind than we usually have.

In any event, I need to wrap my head around everything in my fridge and get an idea of what I'll be fixing this week . . .
