As all my readers know, I am a huge fan of chicken fried steak, and in the Commercial Appeal this week Michael Donahue has a feature about country fried steak, chicken fried steak, and chicken fried chicken around Memphis. I have to disagree vehemently about putting brown gravy on a chicken fried steak (as does my friend Chicken Fried Steak Rodger), but as Donahue points out, perhaps it’s best to quit arguing about which is the real deal and just enjoy.
The Church Health Center’s cooking blog, Stalking Celery, has a recipe post for stuffed bell peppers from their farmers market. Yum, I have loved stuffed peppers ever since I was little! You can stalk celery, bell peppers, and lots of other fresh vegetables at their Tuesday farmers market from 10 AM to 2 PM. The market is at the CHC Wellness Center, 1115 Union.

Those who know me know that I am not much of a movie person at all. I almost never go see them and am worthless to my trivia team when movie questions are asked. However, I have to admit, I kinda want to go see The Secret Life of Pets. The promos look hilarious, and it’s based on a real-world premise – “I wonder what our pets do when we’re not home?”
Bluff City Coffee has added a couple of savories to their pastry case. New are the turkey pesto roll and the cheddar bacon scallion quiche.
