It's in the Photograph...

I have been wrestling all evening in an attempt to find the adjective which would most appropriately encompass, what I would call, a perfect Friday...T.G.I.F., in more ways than one...for starters....We had a magnificent, splendid, glorious, outstanding and marvelous day!  Bam!...take that...adjectives...the Lone Foodie Wins! (This victory was made possible by my cape...that thing...is pretty powerful and awesome...IMHO, of course).

The day was so special I even had an opportunity to wear pixie dust...Being a work-from-home telecom professional (tisk-tisk...again, professional should be taken loosely...), rarely do I get to sport pixie dust.  It is the bee's knees and most definitely not to be confused with glitter.  There is a tremendous difference, one might say, gigantic difference...  Teenage girls wear glitter.  Grown-up ladies wear pixie dust.  That fact is proven.  I found it on the Google...I kid you not, and I do not kid...This was my public service announcement for this evening...I'm always here to lend a helping hand...that's how I roll...

"Awww...Mama...seriously???...you broached the pixie dust/glitter debate???  I thought we talked about this earlier today.  You were going to keep your opinion on the DL...And, while I'm being critical...that is hardly a PSA...just saying... Oh, and BTW...what on earth did you do with MY mind erasing pen???  I really could use it right about now....."

Being it was a Friday night...and no one had anything going on, the 'Wall' was rather busy.  Everyone was out and about...I blame the heat.  It was a hoot... and they all say hello to the world of the blog...  We did cook...however, I didn't have much of an appetite...I'm on the fence as to whether it was the weather (couldn't resist) or chainsaw jugglers..  Hmmm...chainsaw jugglers win!

"You know what, Mama??? You may be onto something and for once we can agree...chainsaw jugglers are pretty awesome!  Mmmm...mmmmm..."

This evening's meal was light and required no use of an oven.  I'm learning...hot days + hot ovens = bad decision....my cooking equation for this evening...Who does not appreciate math humor???  Ummm..hello???  tap-tap...

The star of our meal was a lemon!  Yay for lemons!!  Who doesn't love a citrus fruit that is yellow???  We made a chicken caesar salad.  Merely because we were way out of control...it is a Friday night and such...what else is a gal to do???  I can think of a few things..but it IS probably best we just made our salad...

Chicken marinated in olive oil, lemon juice and garlic (pepper was absent for this photo session..).  Rinse the chicken, place in a ziploc bag and pound it flat...again, pounding is fun...I've mentioned that a few times...but it is, I kid you not...

While your chicken is marinating...make your caesar dressing...it's easy and delicious!

Mayonnaise, garlic, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, worcestershire sauce...to your liking as I always say...make your own dressing...seriously, zero regrets..much better than that from a bottle..that is PSA #2....perhaps PSA #1 if you choose to discredit my glitter/pixie dust PSA...  hmmmmm....team Lone Foodie or team E.V.????? Wait...before you make a decision,...who has better math jokes, huh???  just sayin', my friends... something to consider... :-)

The heart of the salad wishes to be featured...the 'headliner' of sorts...he paid dearly, it was the least I could do...

Romaine lettuce, croutons and parmesan ribbons..

After we compiled all ingredients for said salad....we cooked the chicken..on the stovetop...why???? because we're smart, that's why!

The act of cooking chicken in the skillet of injustice...caught on camera, no less....zzzzzzz and yawn.... hardly even worth shaking a booty...

All of these steps did result in a rather tasty and light meal... .hahahahahaha...again...JUST like me!!  Ahhh, this jesting sickness....it is never-ending....I couldn't help myself...Hmmmm, this time I blame.......Where is that chainsaw juggler???

Allow me to present my salad....and my humble apologies...this photo was taken at 9:05.  I know better....I am sorry...however, it was very delicious!  I love, love, love caesar salad...makes me think of  the Ides of March....and Mark Antony...and...

I should probably stop thinking....

E.V. and I certainly know how to take advantage of a Friday evening...partying like rock-stars and such..(insert another tisk-tisk here).  As usual..thank you for hanging around long enough to watch us embarrass ourselves to the utmost extent and make delicious food...an award winning combination...IMHO, of course....see you all tomorrow!
