Basque Chicken Ingredients

What a perfectly lovely day this has been, and it ain’t over yet.  We got up and took a long walk in a great snow shower, which ended shortly after our coffee stop and then the sky turned bright blue.  To prepare for tonight’s party with the AAS administrators, I made the potluck dish, Basque Chicken, with one of the young teachers who really enjoyed learning to debone a chicken and cook the dish. Cindy did some shopping, which required her to carry two very heavy bags and she was sweating when she got back, that’s how lovely the temperature was.  I’ve a picture of the ingredients for the dish and I’ll take one when I arrange it on the platter.  This young woman is also from Minnesota and Cindy and she talked about how every home there has the right carrying bag for a hot dish potluck.  Good gracious!



Po'Boy Stage One

Po'Boy Finished
For lunch I made pan-fried chicken liver po’ boys and they were really tasty, especially washed down with some dry white wine.  By three we were beat and took a bit of a rest and now are finishing up getting ready for the big party.   Should be a grand evening and I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow. 

Ciao, Cindy and Wm

From CC: In case you’re wondering what was so heavy, it was a 5-liter container of windshield wiper fluid that’s good down to -5 F., and a 5-liter box of wine.  Doesn’t sound like much until you try to carry it on very slippery sidewalks.  Hmm, I should have sprayed some of the fluid ahead of myself as I walked!
