Ahhh....TV! And tonight's dinner...

The past day and a half have been a whirlwind of sorts. Last night I went to a friend's house for dinner and drinks...mostly drinks. They have a great garden and were overgrown with herbs and were starting to get ripe tomatoes. So we had homemade fresh tomato and herb pizza, fresh mojitos, and messed around with Wii Music.

I came home with a goodie bag of herbs - flowering thyme, some sort of exotic basil variety, and oregano...but first,

Today, work featured a bunch of fires that needed to be put out and the main one was sitting in on some depositions. 6 hours of culverts and drainage talk from various engineers and PennDot workers. Yaaawwwnnn...

Anyway, dinner tonight. I minced the herbs fine, mixed with some panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. I pounded out some chicken breasts and coated with an egg wash and the herb mixture. Cooked in a little olive oil and served w a mixed green salad, sliced tomatoes, and ripped mozzarella, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Now I am ready to hunker down to night of TV watching. So You Think You Can Dance (Fox refuses to be preempted by the president...classic Fox), Top Chef Masters, and catching up on some DVR backlog.

  1. Wow, you were born to blog. I guess your wife gets to pack up your house while you are busy preparing egg washes and using your dvr remote like a surgical tool?

    I have to go babysit my significant other while he is wacky on the saliva....
