TTT with Toulouse and Friends

Toulouse

and

I

have been

slacking

in the adventure department

...

maybe

because

of the

holidays?

or

the rains?

or just

because

we are

slacking

..

I take

that

back!!!

We

DID

go for

kind of

an adventure..

to

Target!

last Saturday,

the 1st Saturday of December

not

a

great idea

too many shoppers

all the cool stuff gone

I went

to TARGET

because

Kasey,

(from one of my fave blogs)

(lola b's)

showed

this cute

little

bird ornament

for a buck

from

Target.

I

adventured

to

TARGET

(with Toulouse)

to buy

20

of

those

cute

birds

decoupaged

with

sheet music!

We

scooted about

30

miles

to

Target

and this was the only bird left

it

was in the

"broken thing tub"

...

I asked

the

Target lady

for

more

birds

nope!

...all gone

The nice

check-out girl

gave

me

broken

bird

for

free.

She felt sorry for me,

I think.

She said

"Merry Christmas"

that was nice...

but

no

birds

I do have a

new

FAVE

recipe,

though!

it

is from

Tyler Florence's

new

cookbook

so so easy

and

the

chicken

was

really yummy!

Yup,

Chicken Strips!

I cut up two chicken breasts

seasoned them

and set them aside

Toasted

four pieces of TJ's sourdough wheat bread

and whirled them

in the

food processor

with fresh parsley and

about 1/4 c. Manchego cheese

...ta-da! fresh bread crumbs!

So,

on one plate - flour

on another plate - two beaten eggs

and on the third plate - the bread crumbs

Dregded the chicken in flour, then the egg and then the bread crumbs

and on to the cookie sheet

(I made some sweet potato fries to cook along with the chicken)

They

all

baked

for

about

30

minutes

We had them with

German Curry Ketchup

and

Hartley Ostini Syrah

I

ate

all

the

leftover

chicken!
