After making a spicy sweet and sour pork the other night that was tasty but didn’t sit well with me, I took a simpler tack last night.
I got a whole boneless, skinless chicken breast, split it and pounded it out. Dredged it in a mixture of egg and milk (mixed, of course) with salt, pepper and thyme, then in Panko with the same seasonings and quickly sauteed it. It was just done and very moist and tasty. I added to the potato salad I made the other day, as I’d cooked a few extra red potatoes, then added a quick salad.
Who knows what today will bring? I’ve been up since 3:30 catching up on email et al. Our internet access was down much of the day yesterday. Let’s see. In order to facilitate having guests I’m keeping my computer on the kitchen counter for the time being even though looking at the pantry and frig isn’t my idea of a “view.” I prefer the dining table where I can look at mountains and nature.
The table looks nice and can be extended to serve six, plus as the weather gets warmer we can accommodate more outdoors. We’ve done spring cleaning for the house (except the carpets, later this week) and are working on getting the salt and winter/mud off our cars. And we’ll give the dog a bath today to make sure she sheds everywhere as her undercoat is loosened by soap and water.
A little shopping, as Jim needs socks and wraparound sunglasses (the sun, while going down the mountain every day, is painful) and perhaps a movie to take a couple of hours off a “work weekend.”
Oh, and the cranes were out yesterday. They were pretty far away so even with binoculars I couldn’t see the babies (colts). The grasses grow taller every day! And as of Friday evening the moose were still here. Probably no word on that ’til tomorrow. Have a great rest of the weekend, cheers to you and yours, Dee.
