Update:I got home about 6:30. Yardbird was on the stove. I got called out to the hospital to admit two people. Got back at 10:00. Her chicken dish was awesome! How will she top it tomorrow?
Hope springs eternal, hey, Skunky?

Okay, Peapod hit the nail on the head. I have the winter doldrums and I'm bored with winter food.
So, I finally got my butt motivated and found a recipe. I decided to make a penne tossed with zucchini, yellow squash, ricotta, and basil, tossed with shaved parmesan. I found a recipe for wine glazed chicken http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/recipes/main_wineglazedchicken.shtml to go with it. I served it over arugula with a lemon viniagrette. Or, I intended to.
I'm three minutes from tossing the penne, and Skunky gets called to the hospital. He'll be 3-4 hours.
I am going to have a really hard time summoning the will to cook the rest of the week.
I think she is being a smarta$$. I can't imagine a boxed dinner with the name "helper" anywhere on the package would make it into Punzy's grocery cart, much less through the front door.![]()
