Chicken mish-mash, melaphukanoma


The lazy housewife strikes again!!!

Tonight, a simple dinner.

CHICKEN MISH-MASH

You need:

2-4 chicken breasts

SESAME or PEANUT oil

Garlic (lots as usual)

Cracked pepper

A little salt

Brown or Wild Rice (Wild is best, though more expensive)

If you choose wild rice, it usually takes 40-60 minutes I find so start making that first.

Heat a pan on med/high heat with the oil- don't be shy, get a good layer happening there.

Put that garlic in there, I'd day 4-5 cloves or more, depending on your tastes. 

If you've seen my recipes I like to use the already pureed garlic you can get from Safeway, it's the lazy housewife way.

So I spoon in two table spoons of delicious garlic puree.

Crack some pepper in there , and go for it, give'er on the pepper.
Unless you are pepper sensitive, like my brother Daley used to be. He is a super pepper detecter and would send food back to be re-cooked in restaurants when he was just a weeeee young man, he'd go....

I detect pepper. Not much, but there's pepper in this.

I thought he was ridiculous and was always so embarrassed that my parents totally backed him up in front of the waiter, I remember my face turning several shades of red and probably stabbing Daley under the table with my fork, and telling him he was stupid and to shut up.

Typical teen/preteen Erin.

Anyways, long story short, I believe my brother loves pepper now, and doesn't send back food tainted with cracked peppercorns.

So back to MISH-MASH CHICKEN.

Add a little water to the pan, and cook that chicken till it no longer bleeds pink.

If you have a steamer, steam a whole bundle of spinach (rich in vitamins!) Or cook it in a pan quickly with a little oil. I don't believe in boiling spinach, it takes all the goodness out of it and just makes it mushy and gross.

Once the rice, chicken, and spinach are ready, slap it all in a clusterfuck in the middle of your plate and grab a bottle of wine, tonight I chose one of my fave Pinot Noirs, not sure if it's the best wine for this dish, but I just drink what I feel like. 


So you see how this is a chicken clusterfuck. 
Or mish-mash, I think I like Clusterfuck better.

If you need a little extra some-some, you could always do the chicken with a teriyaki or full on peanut sauce, but I like the simple taste of the sesame oil and garlic.

It tastes like a HOME COOKED MEAL. Like you are getting your nutrients. 
And though we try to always eat well, we don't always now do we, well, most normal people don't at least.
My Matty loved it cause he feels like popeye when he gets his spinach.


The wine is MEIOMI PINOT NOIR.

It makes me buttered up and a delicious meal in myself.

So there is apparently a DANCE MOMS MARATHON happening right now on SLICE, the dirtiest, draw your blinds trash TV channel, and these women are just FUCKED.
Stupidest, most immature, washed up old cheerleaders and popular girls who slander the other kids and make scenes and act like petty little teen girls competing to be homecoming queen.

Yeah I'll probably watch the show.

But I'll hate them all the WHOLE TIME.

And eat cookies and drink wine while I do it.

BUT BEFORE I GO!!!

I LOVE THOUGHTFUL PREZZIES SOOOO MUCH!!!
MY LOVELY LADY AT RUTH'S CHRIS, MISS JENNI (WITH AN I AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT) MARSHALL GOT ME A CARD THAT SAID 
"CANCER MESSED WITH THE WRONG BITCH!"
AND THIS AMAZING BUMPER STICKER THAT SAYS IT ALL AND I AM SO STOKED ON
OMS OMS OMS!!! (OH MY SATAN)


So in love. Miss Jenni totally gets me and my humour about cancer. I love this sticker.

LIFE IS GOOD TODAY!

I doubt anything could bring me down, I worked all week and productively without getting tired, my skin is healing, I made myself a tasty meal of clusterfuck, and got a wicked sticker for my Firefly.

And lets not forget the Noir, the Pinot Noir.

Haha!

I remember tasting the pepper, then sending it back on the principle that I had requested there be no pepper.

M+D totally had my back on that too!

I was a little douche.

Love you sis!
