I don't know? I'm tired

Well. I'm tired. It's almost October and a Thursday, which is the MOST tiring day of the week. So naturally I decided today would be a good day to make baked chicken fingers and tornado potatoes (saw it on fb). I mean, WHY WOULDNT I TAKE OVER AN HOUR TO MAKE DINNER? So. Let's start with the tornado potatoes. You skewer the potatoes and then spiral slice them. Clearly, I am not gifted at this.  

I coated them in olive oil and salt and pepper and Italian seasoning and the baked them in my toaster oven because my regular oven is acting wonky and also I was going to cook the chicken in there...

 

They came out ok, a smidge undercooked but overall who doesn't love a potato? Right??? Also, thanks reef, my toaster oven works awesomely! 

While my potatoes were cooking, I made a breading for my chicken.

 

Eggs (liquid because that's what I had) and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese. 

 

Pretty big chicken fingers, but overall good. 

 

I forgot to take photos when all of them came out but they were decent. A little blah for me, but I jazzed mine up with hot sauce.  The kids liked them and my one kid I allowed to ketchup himself....

 

 

Yes he ate all of the ketchup. Yes he is ridiculous and also 7. Ha! 

I also had this delicious delight.....

 

My beloved Jeremy got these for me. They are nutty and chocolatey and overall smooth to drink. I do love a porter. Mmmmmm ok fine. I had two. It's all good. It's a Thursday. My kids didn't love the potatoes (which is weird because they actually LIKE potatoes) but it's cool. I won't make the tornado potatoes again because it was too much work for me. 

Ok. I'm exhausted now and I barely did anything. I couldn't even be funny on this because tired. Ha! But, I bet these chicken fingers would freeze well! (That was for you Reef!). 

Hopefully my oven will get fixed so I can get back to regularly scheduled baking this weekend. The pumpkin items aren't going to make themselves!
