Gleanings of Wheat

At last, a real post about food! Tonight for dinner I grilled some chicken breasts after seasoning them with salt, pepper, and a touch of cilantro. For sides, I cheated and used Uncle Ben's Santa Fe rice, sliced some potatoes and threw them in the oven till they were a bit crispy. By the way, those were seasoned with salt, pepper, cilantro, and thyme. To top the chicken I sliced 3 cloves of garlic, mixed them with some sliced mushrooms, and threw that in a skillet with about a cup of milk; cook those puppies over medium heat until the milk is thick like a sauce. If it won't thicken, add a tablespoon of flour. Here's how it turned out: The chicken? Yum. The potatoes? Yum. The rice was a tad dry, and the mushrooms were nothing to scream over.

Actual content will come eventually, but for now I'll share a photo from my best friend's bridal shower: Since the flower girls are so little I figured ham sandwiches and potato salad weren't going to cut it, so I borrowed a pair of cookie cutters from the mother of the bride. Super cute, IMO.

I haven't posted anything in a month, but that isn't b/c I haven't wanted to. I just haven't had the time! I've got some recipes I'm hoping to share this weekend, so look for stuff then. What I've been up to since May 16th Work ! Two websites and a few other smaller projects. Taking the kids to visit their aunt & cousins for a week. Babysitting the cousins! Learning about how to prepare food for kids who seem to be allergic to EVERYTHING. Dealing with not having my own computer for two weeks b/c the system board died. Dealing with Enterprise screwing up and telling the state I had a rental car that got a $65 fine for running through tollways without paying when I didn't. Going to Shedd Aquarium. Getting ready for VBS
