Happy Tuesday! I would start in on the whole stupid time change thing, but I'm sure no one wants to hear it. :-)

We had a smaller crowd tonight - just four. (As usual, we're sending leftovers to an unnamed fast food restaurant for some who are working. Shh!) From the OD Cookbook (STILL plenty left!! hint, hint): Bloody Mary Chicken and Fettucine Alfredo. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking that the meat package I bought a few weeks ago at Gallimore's had bone-in chicken breasts. I always use boneless, skinless. Still, the chicken was pretty good, although I do want to try it again with filets. Marinate the chicken in Bloody Mary mix (I used Bold & Spicy) for at least 30 minutes (I think overnight would be better, maybe), then roll them in a mixture of crushed corn flakes and spices. Oregano, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion salt, chili powder. Place in a greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. Since I had bone-in, I went for an hour. They were very juicy and had good flavor, but we're just not used to fighting those bones.

The fettucine was very good, although someone thought the noodles were undercooked. (They were perfectly al dente!) Real butter, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, a little salt, pepper and parsley. No calories! HAHAHA.

We really needed something green, but it was an afterthought and everything else was ready. A nice salad with field greens and vinagrette would have been really nice.

After tonight, we're moving our supper club to Wednesday to accomodate several people who have things they'd like to or need to do on Tuesdays.

As far as next week, I'm thinking Baked Spinach Risotto and.....

Til next time!
