It's been awhile.

It's been awhile since mike and I (and my mom and grandma) have had an actual dinner. There's been too much going to make anything I guess. Well this was our attempt last night. Here's an unappetizing photo .
Professional food photographer, I am not. If you're wondering what it is, it's chicken flattened with a garlic and herb soft cheese in the middle rolled up and then wrapped in bacon. (Thanks to Holly for the recipe book) A wise one once said, if you wrap something in bacon, it only makes it better.

Quick story about the bacon. I actually had someone give me this farm fresh bacon at a bar. The usual buying of a drink must not work that good in this part of the woods so he's moved on to giving out bacon. Don't worry, I know the person and I haven't had any violent illnesses just yet.

Note to self: Pick up meat mallot at store. Corn can's do not hold up to your flattening fury.

Update on the peanut butter toast situation. The word has spread. Even Mike's boss knows. She sent home some delicious peanut butter bread home with him to give to me. So nice of her! And in case she's wondering...I'm also a huge fan of lemon bars.


Oh, one other thing. Is there a shortage of peaches going on in this country I'm unaware of?

what i miss about the midwest? the barter system. trading food and goods for other food and goods. i used to get free chiropractic adjustments in exchange for golf at the golf course...ahhh the good ol days. even if it wasn't in exchange for something else, people exchange their yummy goods. love it.
