Here it's chicken tonight!

(I just love chicken)

I just lopped the head off of a plump white and grey fryer, all plucked and ready to go.

The Mrs. is making what we call "Yummy Taters". it's a mix of home fries, with cheese, sour cream, and some other stuff she puts in. Very delicious.

We have some corn on the cob from the garden, and strawberries with Cool Whip for desert.

The kids are making butter with the cream they skimmed off of this evenings milk. (I just live for fresh butter) They will add some honey, and we will clump it over the corn bread.

Anyhow, that's what's fer diner around here tonight.

....... (great to see you Violet!)

Tonight, I did my own take on a meal we ate at Johnny Carrinos which is an Italian restaurant. My version tasted better! Here it is:

Salmon steaks and angel hair pasta with onions, shallots, garlic, fresh spinach and black and green olives. Just cook the pasta ( I bought a tomato and basil angel hair organic pasta to try with this! It was really good!) and set aside. Put some olive oil in a pan, let it heat up on med-high. In the mean time season the salmon steaks with salt, pepper, dried parsley and dill and rub in a little olive oil. Cook in the hot oil for about 4 minutes on each side, starting skin side down. Take the salmon out of the pan and set aside. Add a couple tbsp olive oil to the pan then cook the onion and shallots until translucent, add the spinach and cook until it wilts a little then add 1/2 cup white wine, the garlic and the olives and cook until the wine is cooked down. Add the pasta and mix together until well incorporated. Turn the heat off and add some fresh, chopped parsley and basil. I want to note that I only slightly salted the onions and shallots because the olives are naturally very salty. Serve with the fish and some hot garlic bread! Yummo!

Friends, please don't think me vain, but I LOVE to cook and I think I've outdone myself tonight. I bought a lb of fresh shrimp last night (about 16 to 18 to a pound, so fairly big) with the intention of putting it that pasta dish I made last night. Well, I forgot, so because shrimp doesn't last forever, I decided to make it tonight! Are you ready for this? Here's what you need:

1 lb shrimp, cleaned, devained and cut in about 3 pieces per shrimp
6 large white cap mushrooms, sliced
1 leek stock, finely chopped
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
about 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, packed in olive oil, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cup white wine
about 4 tbsp peccorino Romano cheese, freshly grated
About a hand full of fresh parsley and basil, finely chopped
Olive oil
Butter

You will also need 1 cup Basmati brown rice cooked according to the directions on the package

OK, here we go. Cook the rice and set aside.

In a large saucepan add about 1 tbsp of butter and olive oil each and cook the sliced mushrooms until browned. Salt the mushrooms then take them out of the pan and set them aside. In the same pan add 2 additional tbsp of olive oil, then add the shallots and cook until translucent. Add the leaks, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for about 2 more minutes. Add the garlic, green onions and wine and cook together until the wine starts evaporating. Then add the shrimp and only cook an additional 3 minutes, then take off the heat and add in 3/4 of the fresh herbs and 2 tbsp of the grated cheese.

To flavor the rice, add to the cooked rice 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp of the grated cheese and the rest of the fresh herbs. Serve the shrimp over the rice. Enjoy!

Hey today is KFC "s , what we call " Toonie Tues. " so am going to pick up some chicken for me .

For those who don't know "Toonie" is what we call our $2.00 coin.

The one dollar coin is a" Loonie" and that explains why we are all crazy.... north of the border... LOL.... It's the snow that got into our heads. He He .

Actually it started that way because the $1.00 coin has a picture of a lune on it.
