misc pics and recipes

I have been in the food mood lately! This week I made a yummy yummy Artichoke Chicken that I found online somewhere, but I'd had it saved on my ipod for so long I completely forgot where, so I'll just have to take the credit for it myself since I cannot give credit where credit is due.

1 can (15 oz) artichoke hearts cut up and drained
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
3/4 cup mayo
1 pinch garlic powder
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

-mix the first four ingredients
-pour over the chicken
(I've taken to pounding chicken breasts first with a meat tenderizer...this makes a big delicious difference)
-bake on 375 for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked

soo soo good!!!

Tonight we had this pizza.

Every time I make pizza (almost every week) I seem to use a different pizza dough recipe. Sometimes we find a really good one, then I forget where I got it from. Today I used this one and it was EXCELLENT!!

Tomorrow would've been my "Mugga's" 94th birthday. Madi and I decided last month that on all our deceased loved one's birthdays and anniversaries of their deaths, we will have foods (or treats) that remind us of them. Last week we had Kielbasa in honor of what would've been Papa's 91st birthday. Tonight for Mugga we had butterscotch oatmeal cookies (actually we made them into bars). She would've loved them!!

In a few minutes Mike and I are heading back to the theatre, no Phantom tonight it was this afternoon. This time it is to see Rabbit Hole. This is going to be a sad show, Jonathan is doing tech. I think Jonathan has had only one night off in about 3 weeks!

Here are a few pics before I go...




Phantom is about 3/4 over. There are 5 more shows, so far we have no real pictures or any video to show for it. I'm not sure if we'll be able to get any video, this is just one more way in which adult theatre is very different from kids' theatre. I keep asking Jonathan to bring a camera and take some pics back stage of him and Jake in their costumes. His response "it's not like we're having a party back there!" So no pics yet of Jonathan in his Renaissance looking outfit (complete with tights) or in his demonish black hooded garb. No no pic of Jake in his young phantom wig or mask. Here are a few quick shots taken with my phone post show.
