Caught up, and full!

I've finally got mail on Catlove again (whew!), so I caught up with all the 874107817107 comments from the last seven days or so. I replied to all the ones I missed, so hopefully no one is waiting for anything! If you are, comment! I should see it this time. :P

I was starving and couldn't stop thinking about the (fake) chicken parmesan I was going to make tonight, so I made it for lunch instead! It didn't come out quite exactly as I expected, but it still rocked.

The only patties I had had were ranch flavored, and while those are yummy as heck, they'd probably be awful for this. But I had fake plain chicken nuggets, so I used those! (I suspect they were even better than using a patty. They got nice and crunchy, plus were small enough that I could just rip them in half to make bite sized pices. That became important!)

I had intended to make it on a hamburger bun and close it up like a sandwich (I didn't have better bread on hand), but I had too much of everything so I made two open-face sandwiches instead. Bun-sauce-"chicken"-sprinkle parmesan-mozzarella cheese. I toasted the buns first, then stuck the whole thing under the broiler so the cheese would get all melty.

Since there was no top bread, it worked out that I could cut the nuggets into bite-sized pieces. Even then it was a little messy to eat (the buns fell apart too fast), but man, SO YUMMY!

I'm tempted to make this again tonight. :D

Heeheehee! You should try the "fake" chicken stuff! I like the Morningstar Farm brand (in a green box). Tastes just like real chicken (as far as I can recall) and has like a fraction of the fat and calories! Very yummy!

I actually really like meatless stuff -- it rarely tastes like the actual thing, but that doesn't mean it's not tasty! I'm odd, though, and am always willing to try something new. Actually, most of the time I end up liking it, too.

Ever try Bocca burgers? Them's good things too. Specialty food stores are good places!

Oh, yay! I'm glad you do!

I'm not sure if Bocca burgers are the kind I have or not. The ones I have taste/smell/look like real burgers, but aren't.
