Chicken Boobies - bjcotton - 06-14-2006
I can't remember exactly who it was that was saying that they had to use the entire half-breast for each roulade because they were so small. I just checked the package of half-breasts I bought at Whole Foods...they weighed in at 12.75 oz each...that's 3/4 of a pound...must have been Texas chickens
Maybe I can talk Chef Jean to come down and cut them in half for me next time. They weren't cut ragged or anything but they weren't exactly cut in half either

Looks like a yummy dish to practice on Billy.

If you don't do it before I get there, maybe we can try it there...hell, even if you do make it we can do it again. I'm also serving the sauted spinach from CAH with it...couldn't resist as the spinach is from their fields

The chances of me doing it before you get here are fairly remote Billy. I just loved Jeans pic. though. She SHOULD take up photography.

My, thanks for the encouragement Dale (& roxanne, also)in the photo dept. I'm just loving having time, finally, to take pictures of the dishes. I used to have to yell at someone in the kitchen - "Take a picture - this one's worth it!!!!" Didn't get too many of them tho.
So, BillyJ, is the dish completed??? Have you enjoyed it yet?? Some of those honkers are huge, aren't they? I think it was Roxanne who could only get the itty bitty ones.

You bet Jean. I just got back from serving it. They didn't want me to plate it, so I didn't. I cooked it here and transported it to their house. I never heard such moaning over something I'd cooked. They were even commenting on it after they'd finished. "Oh, I can still taste everything! So, what's for dinner tomorrow?" They were very appreciative and loved everything. The tomatoes were a little acidic, so I put just a touch of sugar in the concasse, but man was it good. I added the basil leaf in each one like Roxanne said and yummy! There ended up being four of us and there was still one roulade left. These are farm folk and they work hard. It was a pleasure to feed them and then listen to them reminisce about when they were kids and their mother's cooking...his was an Italian family and hers were I think Norweigen (sp). I am trying to talk them into writing down some of the recipes they were talking about. Guess I'd have to give this meal a 9.5. It'd be a 10 if I didn't have to do the dishes too

Oh Billy, you do make life an adventure. I reckon those neighbours send your sister and hubby off, swearing they know where the rainbow ends. But then they run back inside and have a little dance because they know the rainbow ends fair and square on their home. hahahahaha...good ploy.

These are the people that sent out the packages of bay leaves I shared around. Last night they told me they have 3 kaffir limes growing and that the leaves were about the size of her hand. They're going to have a few for me to take home with me, also some baby dill, tarragon and anything else they have that I want...they have a nice spinet piano I wouldn't mind having

The challenges make it all the better in the end!!!
