Hi all!

I got my cookbooks sent out tonight!! I hope my person likes them!

Sorry I forgot to post about my cookbook! got a wonderful cookbook from pooh girl and DW cannot wait to cook some new recipes. It is cool to get a book from your home town of sorts. Also love the conversion magnet for the fridge.

Thanks everyone for such a fun exchange....can't wait until the next one... My DW has the Vacation in a box so it will be fun to see what comes. I am excited to help her send ours out.

Happy TAX day!

I am cooking the Garlic Stew Recipe tonight from the Jambalaya cookbook I received and since some asked for me to post the recipe when I cooked it here it is

Seems pretty darn easy to me , hopefully I don't totally screw it up, I burned the steaks last night, and undercooked the hamburgers on Monday, so I have not had the best week, clearly I need a cook book!

6 Chicken Thighs
3/4 teaspoon salt , divided
3/4 teaspoon white pepper divided
3 cups water
20 Cloves of Garlic ( seperated and unpeeled)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped celery including leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup dry white wine
French Bread Heated

Season chicken w/ 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring water to a boil. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water and peel. Coat the bottom of a shallow 2 quart casserole dish with oil. Add garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, celery,parsley and thyme. Stir in wine. Add chicken skin side down and baste. Cover tightly and bake at 375 for 35 minutes. Turn chicken baste and bake 40 minutes longer. Serve with French Bread !

 

[Meriweather]

Thanks for sharing, Jen. Love all the garlic Will have to give it a try.

The zoo with 70 kindergarteners was fun yesterday. And when I drove by the post office after we got back, I congratulated myself on the wisdom of choosing to send my package out a day late! Parking lot was full, and the line was out the door!

Anyway, mine made it into the mail today. Fortunately, it doesn't have far to go, and should be at its new home by the end of the week!

 

[Meriweather]

Just one more person to confirm mailing (and she got the day off today ).
