      In reply to why "I am done with Perdue": I cooked my boneless skinless chicken breasts the same way I always do and they turned out thick and chewy. I cooked some thin sliced breasts and noticed the same chewy texture. I think they are processing the chicken with some new chemical. A few years back I marinated my chicken breasts in buttermilk (powder) for too long and their texture was similar to what I am finding now. I did call Perdue and they were very nice about it but I doubt things will change soon.

          I marinated a pork tenderloin in pickle juice then spread mustard on it and topped it with Swiss cheese and ham. Then I baked it at 350 for 25 min. It was a winner. A Cuban pork roast!

                I made saltimboca with Purdue thin sliced chicken breasts. Total failure. Never know how long to cook those thin breasts. Should have used my thermometer.

                  Well if you call reducing TJ’s soup and serving it with tuna melts “ cooking “ then this is what
                  I am cooking.

                    Last night I made peppered chicken thighs with spiced cashews, mango, cilantro and rum. It was a lot of work but worth it. It is a NYT’s recipe.

                          I tried a new recipe from our Giant supermarket recipe collection: Thai-Style Chicken and Cole Slaw with Pita Bread. It got an "A" from my husband. Of course with any new recipe it's always taste and adjust.

                          Swirth, sometimes I think it's just as tough to be the caretaker as it is the patient. Hope you all recover nicely.

                            Until recently I was never asked if I exercised when I had my annual physical. The connection between health and exercise was never taken seriously. I do exercise faithfully and the only medication I take is Prolia for what was osteoporosis (now osteopenia). Unfortunately for exercise to work it has to be a part of your life like brushing your teeth. The best part of exercise is the good feeling you get when you are done.

                            A few years back the doctors starting testing for vitamin "d" deficiency. I was deficient and started taking the "d" supplement. Now I test fine. Should have purchased stock in Vitamin D.

                              I had purchased some “choice” strip steaks on sale. Because I had to buy 3 I knew after the first 2 that they were not a bargain. So I decided to slice the 3rd steak thin. I marinated it and sautéed it with onions and peppers. Not bad! Served it over garlic mashed potatoes with Parmesan cheese and sugar snap peas.

                                  Skeptic I can sympathize with your thriftiness . I bought a box of Ferrara (hard) ladyfingers on sale 3 years ago. I couldn't bear to throw them away. So today I spent $4 on marscapone to make tiramisu. I used the recipe on the box and I think it came out pretty good. I do not like cream cheese so don't even think about it as a substitution.
