Hi all! I feel like I fell off the turnip truck - We've had such crazy weeks at work that when I get home, I just want to veg - I haven't even been lurking much. So there has not been much cooking or baking in my house. But, on Wednesday (prepped on Tuesday) I made Chicken Juniper, often named Elegant Chicken in old community cookbooks, for Will's 25th birthday. That's the one with dried beef, chicken breasts, bacon, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. It's probably his favorite comfort food. I got all the ingredients to make him the KAF Kitchen Sink Carrot Cake - it's a really good recipe, but they're still sitting on the counter a week later!
BevM, I'm with you about hurricane season. I'm originally from Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts where we were in prime hurricane territory. In 60 years of bad storms we never had to evacuate. Now I live on Saint Simons Island in Georgia. Because it's the furthest west point on the East Coast, hurrricanes were few and far between - they would often head up the Florida Coast and then head for the Carolinas. In the last two years we've had two mandatory evacuations and last year we couldn't return for a week. At least, we were fortunate to have minimal damage where we are, but still - yuck!.
