Speechless..for once....

Ahhhh, I do not even know where to begin...I sat here for a good hour...with writer's block staring at my blank blogger screen...not quite certain how to begin..Bearing in mind, we do lead such exciting rock-star lifestyles...tisk-tisk..  I had to step away...and took a little jaunt over to 'The Wall..'  That was needed...Um...'The Wall, ' again, a blog in itself..however..it did lift my spirits...I wouldn't even know where to begin..a hoot...I'll leave it at that...total hoot...

It was Saturday....so we cooked...Chicken..yep..However...before you say, oh, no...chicken...again????  It was really good.  Just like chainsaw jugglers....It was..Trust me..I do not lie, as I have professed a multitude of times...

Chicken, crushed pecans, egg and a mixture of panko, paprika, oregano and cayenne..

To encrust the chicken properly, you mix the egg white with a little corn starch and coat with the breadcrumb and pecan mixture...

Then, while you are distracted doing all of these dinner preparation things...a certain dog, whom shall remain nameless...chews her way through the garbage...

She chewed through everything...what a mess!  She's lucky she's sooo cute...otherwise....

"Ummm...so, Mama...ya gonna clean that up???  Make it snappy, perhaps???"  Sure thing, precious...right after I schedule that vet appointment for your shot and such...

She is a total smarty-pants...I have no idea from where she would have developed an affliction such as smarty-pants-ness...It is a medical affliction...For reals..I totally read about it on The Google..when I was bootie shaking, I believe.. or else dancing in my office chair...same difference, really..

The cooked pecan encrusted chicken...brown on the stove-top..finish off in the oven..Simple and yum...yeah, no comment ;-)

To accompany our chicken...the perfect side..just like chainsaw jugglers...perfect in every way..AND tasty, tooo! 

Sweet potatoes...they're sooo sweet...lame, yep, but I couldn't help myself...those afflictions to which I had previously mentioned are not isolated to canines...their owners can suffer afflictions as well...scientifically proven..again..The Google...

Speaking of afflictions...the digression...our side!  It was super-fantabulously-awesome.  I know this for a fact.  Sour cream, lime juice, jalapeno, maple, butter and prosciutto bits...

Bake a sweet potato in the oven for approximately 40 minutes....prior to placing it in the oven...create a topping by mixing sour cream, lime juice, minced jalapeno, maple, butter and top with prosciutto bits...I do have not photos of the potato baking...I felt it would behoove me to omit such boring-ness...our blog is boring enough...

One shall not forget about our vegetable...a necessity in a well-rounded meal..since I am all about being well-rounded and am personally, extremely well-rounded.. hahahahhahaha...

Arugula and feta tossed with a honey-dijon vinaigrette..PERFECT accompainment to the rest of the meal... That arugula really stepped up to the plate, so to speak...tisk-tisk.. I made the vinaigrette with honey, dijon, shallots, olive oil and pepper..simple and delicious..again, no comment..

"Oh, Mama...those subtle references..they're soo old...were they written by Methuselah????  For reals...shall we move along??"  Jeesh...she's a meanie tonight...No 3am walks for her...she can grow thumbs and figure out the door knob herself...

Petty cat fights between a gal and her dog....teehee...get it??  Leaving those aside, dinner was finished and rather enjoyed....I've been starving lately...super starving...

Alas...pecan chicken, arugula salad and a baked sweet potato.

I highly recommend making this meal...No regrets..like fake tattoos and chainsaw jugglers, Halloween candy and Green Day.  We will be back... Lock  up your liquor cabinet now, my friends...
