Rockabilly Riot, Chicken and CATS CATS CATS!

So! I went to Brian Setzer (Stray Cats) tonight with Hubby, Charlen, Oakland and Charlen's brother Markus. It was amazing to see legends on stage, and see my husband so happy. I would have taken photos but they confiscate cameras at Reds. Bastards!

Opening was a band called Cousin Harley, with a guy named Paul Pigat who's fingers move like lightning on the Git-tar. That's how you have to say it in Rockabilly music, GIT- Tar. My lovely husband is actually quite the musician himself, and while we were watching Cousin Harley's set he told me about all the licks and riffs he had taught Paul Pigat. That's my man. He rules on the GIT-Tar. There was crazy painted stand up basses and dudes slapping the shit out of em. I personally enjoy the bass in rockabilly the most, the music would be boring without that slappin'! I was the designated driver so I didn't partake in the boozin' which is actually a good thing cause you miss half the show when you're drunk and going for a million drinks. Even my usually lush hubby only had a couple, but a good time was had by all.

HERE'S A RECIPE! YUM YUM YOU BET!!!

BRUSCHETTA CHICKEN

This is a random recipe I made up when I had a bunch of chicken breast, but limited ingredients. You can make this when you're poor but very hungry, and it will make you smile and say- See, I can eat delicious healthy food for cheap! No more microwave dinners! HUZZAHH!

3-5 chicken breasts 

4 roma tomatoes (or so. You can add more or less, it's whatevs.)

5-10 cloves of garlic, depending on how romantic you wanna get later

3/4 cup of balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup of olive oil, extra virgin or slutty

fresh basil if ya got it

or parsley, that's good too

Slap everything in the blender (except the chicken) and set it to a low chop. Place chicken breasts in a deep corning ware- I find this works best- and bake with the lid on on 375 for half an hour, and you can turn it over for another 30 mins or so, I sometimes get paranoid that it won't get cooked and I'll poison myself, so sometimes I'll give it another ten minutes. That's ok cause they are sitting in the liquid, I'd turn the oven up to 400 for the last twenty minutes or so. 

I'd serve this deliciousness up with a few roasted garlic cloves and a glass of wine, and you are good to go. 

BOOYAH!
