Chicken & Rice

I've been looking for some smaller recipes for chicken breast, and came across this recipe at Food Network that I knew I could scale down. I wasn't sure about using tumeric and cumin instead of Sazon Completa, which was what they use to season arroz con pollo in Miami, but I went ahead and tried it with a few tweaks to tailor it to our tastes and needs.

I did not use a whole chicken, as three small boneless & skinless breasts work better for us. Because I didn't have as much chicken to flavor my rice I added an extra two tablespoons of butter and crumbled a chicken boullion cube into my low-sodium chicken broth. I also only used about a quarter cup of peas because my guy doesn't like them. Despite my tweaks the dish came out absolutely delicious. I loved it and my guy really loved it, so this one will go into the cookbook for future meals.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
