………………..”My Go To Dinner”……..I eat a lot of chicken….so I’m always trying different ways to cook it……This is one of my favorites, because it’s quick….sort of….and easy to make…..The marinade is simple…..I use the juice of one lemon, which I add two scoops of Dijon mustard and a healthy splash of heavy cream to. Then I add lots of pepper and LOTS of Tarragon, and stir it well……Then I get my chicken cutlets, but you can use any chicken you like. Sometimes I use skinless, and boneless chicken thighs. I wash it, dry it and cut it up into pieces…..not too small, because it they will shrink when cooking….Then the pieces go into a into a Pyrex dish. Next I pour the marinade all over and make sure all of the pieces, top and bottom, are covered. Then I add MORE Tarragon. I usually prepare this in the morning, cover it with Saran, so it can sit in the refrigerator for the day until I’m ready to cook it at 400 for 40 to 45 minutes. Before I put the chicken into bake I prepare my string beans and Brussel sprouts that I bought at the Farmer’s Market. There is nothing like freshly picked vegetables from the farmer’s market….they just taste so much better!…..While the chicken is baking I put the beans and sprouts in my steamer…..and let it all cook……I just use freshly squeezed lemon on my vegetables……and on my chicken…..It’s all so very HEALTHY, and tasty too…..
………………….YOM KIPPUR……Is the Holiest day in the Jewish religion……a day of atonement and repentance……Growing up with many Jewish friends….I’m not too sure if my friends took this holiest of holy days as seriously as their parents…….For ALL of us it was A DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL!……It didn’t matter what religion you were….we ALL looked forward for the Jewish Holidays!!……Have a happy Yom Kippur to all of my friends of the Jewish faith.
…………………Your Customer Service Advocate reporting in again!…….This time I’m discussing a company name……ROCOCITY…………Their site is very elaborate with both men’s and women’s clothing…..They supposedly specialize in Japanese inspired “EMBROIDERED” CLOTHING….The column of photos at the right is just a very small group of the items they have listed…..The photos to the left are of the “EMBROIDERED” DRAGON LINEN SHORTS that I ordered from. I thought they would be fun and unique for my trip to the Caribbean early next year…….HOWEVER…..what I received was the shorts in the two center photos……They were NOT EMBROIDERED at all….even thought the description clearly states “EMBROIDERED LINEN”….What came was a pair of shorts with a very BLURRY PRINT of the original shorts [photos look better than they actually are]…….Are they absolutely terrible???…..NO….but I was still disappointed in the fact that I was once again deceived!….and what I thought I ordered, and what I got were two different things. Like with many of these Asian companies the buyer is responsible to pay for any returns…..It cost more to return the items to Asia than what the shorts cost, so….they have you “over a barrel”! I will keep them and probably will wear them…..but be sure I will NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY again….I can’t imagine what these other very elaborately embroidered tops will look like….just more bad printing instead of beautiful embroidery….I should have realized, being in the business, that these prices were too good to be true…..LESSON LEARNED……..DON’T BUY FROM……ROCOCITY!!!!!
