Continued making plans, and did dishes. I even made plans while
doing dishes, and neither are complete. But it made both activities fun, and it’s
so nice to examine possibilities again. Beloved Hubby put in an application to
the place we left to come here, and we’ll find out tomorrow. I am sooo hoping. Please
hope with us !
Also tried a new
recipe from Betty Crocker – Smothered Chicken Casserole - but I redid half
of it. Kind of funny to see I do that to other properties beyond patterns, isn’t
it ? Betty wanted me to do quite a bit of specialty (for us) shopping, but with
little money this close to a move, it just wasn’t gonna happen. Instead of half
and half, I used regular milk with powdered chicken bouillon stirred in. She
wanted bacon bits, I sautéed lunchmeat ham cut up small. Completely skipped the
broccoli, as no one here would eat it, and upped the pasta (thin whole wheat spaghetti
instead of angel hair) to about 9oz. Also used frozen chicken breast halves (just
three) we already had instead of four boneless thighs, and added a lot of
garlic, plus the bits and salt at the bottom of a box of Triscuits ™ crackers. Rather
a budget version, as I used a 68¢ can of cream of chicken soup, but that’s all
I bought special for this.
Success ! Or at least, that’s what I call a new recipe with no leftovers. May increase the milk and pasta
next time, maybe cut the chicken smaller, for seconds or leftover lunch. Very
filling, too. I was worried it wouldn’t be creamy enough with plain milk, but
it wasn’t an issue. Maybe not the healthiest thing in the world to eat, but I’m
pretty pleased.
And so ready for bed ! Dishes can wait ‘til tomorrow, right ?
