Do you ever wonder where the time goes...just sewing along and then you take note of the time....oops, dinner is going to be late again! My poor husband just doesn't cook, doesn't like it at all. I don't mind, I actually love it, and the trade off is priceless.
He washes the dishes and cleans up after me...everytime!
No, he is not for rent, even if you whine.
I did make him a nice dinner, quick and easy. I took 3 medium size potatoes, scrubbed them and cut into lengthwise pieces, drizzled olive oil on, garlic salt, pepper and fresh rosemary. Popped em in the oven (425) for about 30 mins. While they were cooking, I took some pre-tenderized beef and cut into "finger" chunks, dipped into flour, salt, pepper and dropped into pre-heated veggie oil (medium high) and let them cook until light brown, turn and continue until 2nd side is light brown, done! I also grabbed a bag of frozen broccoli tops out of the freezer, microwaved them and slathered the butter on.
One of the things I couldn't get used to in Texas (please forgive me all y'all Texans) is chicken fried steak. Just can't eat it more then 1-2 times a year, lol. My poor husband was raised here and he doesn't care for it either. We do like steak fingers...kind of a mini version of chicken fried steak!
I better get moving on my latest project...the disappearing 9 patch. I found one on someone elses blog and thought it was way cool! Hope so, will let y'all know, lol!
Don't forget to head over to: http://faithfulquilter.blogspot.com/ for a giveaway of Civil War fabrics, yummy! Her name is Elaine too, coincidence...you decide, lol!

Dinner and a...work?
Out in blogland, Chookyblue has a blog entry on dinner. I want to go to her house for dinner! She would have to share the mushrooms though!
I started thinking about the meals that have graced our table over the years. There have been so many meals. If you think about the meals at your table what kind of memories do they evoke?
When my kids were in high school, my dh was retired from his job, I was in college during the week and fulfilling my military obligation on 1 weekend a month...dh was the chief cook. The kids began whining about the same old stuff. Since they were on the verge of a strike...mom stepped in. So, each of the kids were assigned dinner night. I can't remember if they came up with this recipe but it did prove to be a staple at the table.
When I cut chickens up at home I save the thigh portions and refreeze them until I get 4-6 of them. I can also find chicken tenders in the chicken aisle. Little pieces of white chicken meat in @ 1/2 pound package. Cut the bone out and cut the meat into smaller pieces. Place the meat into an electric frying pan. Add 1 cup salsa, 1 can whole kernel corn with the juice too, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder. Stir well and cook over high heat until chicken is done. Turn the pan off, add 1-2 cups instant rice, stir well, top with 1-2 shredded cheddar cheese. Put the lid on, set the table and 5 mins later....dinner!
If you try this, let me know. Enjoy, go quilt something, Elaine
