Yes we get a variety of American tv shows, some good some bad. Good = Sopranos, all the CSI's, The Wire etc etc etc...Bad = Two and a half men - jeez who ever told Charlie Sheen he was funny should be strung up!!

Incubus you get all the CSI's that's great and Two and Half men. the sopranos was on HBO for a long time. YOu like that Italian mafia stuff. Well I'm Italian and I don't think that its like that. Well except for the Jersey Shore part, its very Italian down there!! The wire I don't know what that is so.. Dinner would be nice chicken fricasse however you make that I don't know!! I order it in the Italian restaurant and maybe Scoote can bring me some pizza from Papa JOhn's that would be great!! Do you have the recipe for the chicken fricasse JO? Oh and chocolate yes definitely we need that

Here you go...chicken fricasse...

Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken pieces (I usually like to use boneless, skinless breasts)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1-1/3 cup water
2/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 onion, chopped
1 1/3 cup fresh small mushrooms
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
3/4 cup half and half

Directions:

Wash and dry the chicken pieces. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, nutmeg and paprika. Brown the chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat in a deep heavy pan (like a Dutch oven). Remove the chicken when well browned. Reduce heat to medium, add flour, and cook the flour until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Whisk in water and wine until smooth.

Return the chicken to the Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook 50 minutes.

Remove chicken, keeping it warm, and reserve the broth (which can be strained to get out any pieces).

Melt butter in Dutch oven, over medium high heat, add onion, cook until lightly browned. Add mushrooms, sage and parsley. Add broth, and chicken. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thoroughly heated.


Most people like this over rice...but personally I make homemade mashed potatoes...smoooosh a deep well in the middle, and fill it with the fricasse. Mmmmm.....comfort food.

Good morning everyone...and thank you for breakfast Lips
