Where I have been...

I haven't forgotten nor abandoned this blog. I have been away from home lately what with visitors from AK and all. Promise to start cooking again soon.

Dinning out

Tonight 's dinner will be brought to you by our good friend Cliff, and the fine folks at Fuji Japanese buffet and sushi bar. The food there is amazing, if you haven't been i highly recomend the trip. Its a little pricey but well worth it!

Tonight I was expecting some friends over after dinner, so i simply had some pulled BBQ sandwiches.

Leftovers

Being that i am alone this week, there will be left overs. The catchatori was even better today. The pasta absorbed all of the juices from the tomatoes and peppers, the chicken became even more flavorful. This is a dish that i plan to make again and again. The total servings are looking like : 2 dinners and 3 lunches.

Monday February 15

Tonight i am creating my own version of Chicken catchatori. I started with 6 chicken leg quarters dredged them in some flour seasoned with basil, oregano, salt and pepper, and a little chili powder. I browned off the chicken in some unsalted butter and olive oil, and removed it from the pan. I sliced half of a medium onion and sauteed that until it started to turn translucent. I then added 3 red bell peppers from our freezer (thawed), brought that to a boil and added 1 can of diced tomatoes, 3 cloves chopped garlic,Tbs each of oregano and basil, a bit of S+P and a few chili flakes. I returned to a boil, Added the chicken back in and now it is simmering away while I type this. I will serve it with some whole wheat pasta and call it dinner.

Here's hoping it turns out...
