Fruit of our Labor Thursday #387?

[RICHARD]

Wow,

I know we have some talented garden people out there!

How about we do a little 'farming' and "produce" a Thursday to share our wares?

I was looking for Basil recipes and came across this...

Basil Pesto Chicken.

200g dried fettuccine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 single chicken breast fillets, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons basil pesto
1 cup cream
shaved parmesan, to serve
basil leaves, to serve

Method
Cook fettuccine according to the packet directions.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until brown.

Add pesto, cream, salt and pepper to frying pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly.

Drain pasta. Add to pesto mixture. Toss over low heat until well combined. Transfer to serving bowls. Top with parmesan and basil. Serve warm.

I feel like wine this week????

DONE!

I made a soup for lunch today that turned out yummy.

2 white potatoes Peeled and chopped
2 carrots sliced
half a small bag of frozen broccoli
onion
salt
a dash of Italian seasoning and a dash of celery flakes
water to cover

Let it all cook until the veggies are done and the water is cooked down a bit. Add a bit of oleo (I use Smart Balance)

I'm still smiling over how good it turned out.

I do need a cherry limeade to go with it though.

Our squash (yellow & green), zuccini, broc and cauliflower have all been winners so far as are (as always) green beans. If I could have a white wine spritzer with lime to lift me up I maaaaay be persuaded to start some tempura with dipping sauce. CAPITAL YUM!!!

Been a LONG day (in a seminar 8-4:30, stopped home, went to the dentist, finally had dinner, sort of, an hour later, ordered the new kitchen floor-took 4 days to get hold of our tile guy-just really settling down). The Pesto Chicken sounds wonderful! We have fresh Basil from the garden to contribute, some nice Shiraz with that sounds good! Thanks Barkeep!

Nothing to contribute from my garden since I don't have one, but I picked up a couple of huge monster melons (cantaloupe) from my favorite farm stand yesterday. Super sweet and super ripe. I diced one up yesterday and the other is in the fridge. I can contribute some cantaloupe smoothies, or just a nice plain slice to enjoy cold. It's really just too darn hot to eat much of anything other than cold fruit or a salad. Feel free to join me.........

I'll join you for fruit smoothies! We had something really exciting at 5am - and I know it's not so exciting to those people on the LEFT coast - we HAD AN EARTHQUAKE!! In MARYLAND!! It was a whole 3.6 I think, but it was enough that our house shook. Pinot wasn't exactly sold on the idea, I think she was a little freaked.

Oh my!!!!!!!!! I'll have to switch over to the Balt news tonight instead of Phila. I'll bet everyone was a little freaked, since that's a rare occurrence in these parts.

Sit and relax - cantaloupe smoothie on the way.

Hang tough......I can say that because 3.6 EQ's are babies.

PM,

Was it a SHAKER or a ROLLER?
