Life is filled with diverting roads...

and I usually take the one less traveled.

A chef by trade, but a human by birth. __________I am also a political junkie. I watch all the “talking head” cable programs religiously. Agreeing & disagreeing with the comments by the various pundits. Not shy about emailing my comments to them, either. I am a huge fan of Joan Walsh. She is one of the few that will stand her ground and discuss the issues, not just the 30 second sound bites. I am formerly from Ridgefield, CT

Bon appetite & Au revoir!

I am off for a couple weeks to visit family & friends, but before I go I wanted to just say that all of you are with me in thoughts & prayers. I leave you with this early foodie Tueday post - 

At times when our busy lives seems to be dictating when and what we eat; I suggest this simple inexpensive recipe. Always a crowd pleaser, Chicken Marsala is a delicious, classic chicken dish; lightly coated chicken breasts braised with Marsala wine and mushrooms. It’s an easy recipe, ideal for a quick weeknight entrée or serving to your most important company at an impromptu dinner party. Serve with steamed asparagus, angle hair pasta and a garden fresh salad. Within no time dinner will be on the table.

Chicken 1
 

Chicken Marsala

Ingredients:

¼ cup all-purpose flour for coating

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon dried oregano

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded ¼ inch thick

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup sliced mushrooms

½ cup Marsala wine

¼ cup cooking sherry 

In a shallow dish or bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper and oregano. Working in batches, coat chicken pieces in flour mixture.

In a large skillet, melt butter in oil over medium heat. Place chicken in the pan, and lightly brown. Turn over chicken pieces, and add mushrooms. Pour in wine and sherry. Cover skillet; simmer chicken 10 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink and juices run clear. 

Serves 4

jusqu'à ce que nous rencontrons encore!

Bon voyage, George!
Them there pics make me want some George.
Travel safe and walk gently on the road.
Remember home, friends, and family.
Look forward to hearing from you when you return.
You had me scared with that "Au revoir". I am glad to see that it is just a vacation. Enjoy your family, friends and food. Stay safe but have fun.
Thanks for the classic recipe
Like TOM, I was spooked by "au revoir"! Have a nice vacation, g-man, and thanks for the recipe!
I echo the thoughts of the previous two commenters-- glad the "au revoir" is more of an "à bientôt."

Enjoy your time with your family and friends. As has been impressed upon me this weekend, these times are precious, and cannot be taken for granted.
George, what a thoughtful gift to us that you have posted. I always look forward to your posts and here is Foodie Tuesday a few days early! Enjoy your time with your family and friends and I'll be looking forward to your return!
Have a lovely break, George. And chicken marsala is the dish I judge southern Italian restaurants by.
still eating peaches...maybe another peach recipe when you return? safe travels!
Have a great trip George.
Take care, George. Have a good time, if it's pleasure, and have a good time, if it's business. :-D

Do enjoy your endeavor, George. I just got back from doing the same and must say that it was very cathartic. We will miss your positivity and enthusiasm until your return. BTW, that dish looks awesome and could maybe be something even I could make.

Have fun!!
One of my FAVORITE dishes George and yours sounds phenomenal.
I hope you have a wonderful trip and we will miss you for sure.
Be safe and blessings
