My favorite. Chicken marsala & crab cakes.nm

That chicken looks good, too! Fried chicken is the one thing
I'm terrible at making. I just can't do it. Whenever we do have fried chicken maybe once a year, I buy the frozen boxed stuff or KFC.
I haven't thought about dinner yet. I'm making muffins today, spiced applesauce muffins, Tabor City yam bread muffins, and banana zucchini muffins. Going to send some to work with hubby and freeze the rest for breakfasts.
We just got Dish (sm)
We just got Dish about 2-3 weeks ago, switched from cable T.V. They had a terrific special going. With ours, we have 4 TVs hooked up to it, two boxes with one TV going off of it. The one in our LR has the DVR, which allows us to record, I'm not fully sure of how this works yet, it's pretty nice. The bedroom TV runs from the box in the LR. We have another TV in the basement, which the kitchen TV runs off of without a box. E-mail me if you want more information, I have a number you can call and they offered free stuff. From the research I did before ordering this, you get more for your money than DirectTV. The salesperson at Radio Shack also stated he felt Dish was better than Direct. Maybe someone else here can give their opionion since there is one for Dish and one for Direct now. My bill is approx $45 a month for 10 months, then approx $55, we have a special of a movie channel for 3 months free, along with the DVR and 4 TVs. I'm happy!
Side Dish
Any suggestions for a side dish to go with spinach lasagna?
Wow, you have a lot covered in that dish. How about
cottage cheese. Bread of course.
What about DISH network?
We are not worried about the TV aspect as we do not own a TV! This would be strictly for the internet service.
Wonderful low-fat main dish
Here is one that I have used for years and it is wonderful. It does not sound too great, but in the end, it is melt in your mouth good.
2 lb. pork tenderloin roast
1/4 tsp. of each of these spices: marjoram, tyme, garlic salt, onion powder.
1/2 tsp. rubbed sage
1 tbs. worcesteshire sauce
2 tbs. soy sauce.
Mix all spices and sauces together. Pierce roast in several places and put in bowl with marinade. Put in fridge for at least 2 hours, turning roast to keep covered.
Place roast in oven safe dish with marinade and bake at 325 degrees until done. Check with meat thermometer. This is a great low-cal, low-fat dish.
We just switched from Dish to Directv - sm
Dish is slightly cheaper, but we switched for the following reasons; Dish took away our FOX NY channel in November because of some law passed in congress recently (we watch Nascar) which we were paying extra for (we are in VA), we cannot get local channels with Dish unless we upgraded dishs and cut down about 5 trees. I thought it was insane to spend $400+ in order to be able to get local channels. We had them out here a couple years ago to evaluate the tree situation, that was their answer. So we have just been without the locals as they do not come in very well with the antenna. So all our neighbors here have Directv without any problems or cutting down trees, and all with the local channels ($4.99 a month). We have FOX again (local though, DH liked having NY FOX because of the football games). I also did the additional room box, another $4.99 a month which we had not done since living in MD, and it is a nice benefit to have with the kids, DH can watch his football and if a show is on that the kids wanted to watch they can without a bunch of fuss. That doesn't happen too often but it is nice to have that option. I am receiving a $5 rebate for switching right now, plus will be getting an additional $10 off for 10 months once my rebate kicks in, so right now it is $56 a month, but that will jump to $61 when all is said and done. We have the basic pkg and HBO. I liked the guide and ability to scroll the channels better with Dish. But the Directv remote seems much sturdier (plus they replace them free of charge), with Dish we had to pay for any replacements at $70 a pop, we went through a remote every 2 years or so, the last time I said forget this and bought a universal remote for $10, still works great. If trees are not an issue with you then either will work fine, Dish is slighty cheaper but you own the equipment, you buy it. They just lost another channel of mine though that was one of my favories, Court TV, Directv has it though so I am happy. Directv you lease the equipment, hence the free replacements. I think if you only get 1 unit then there is no charge, but with 2 units then it is $5 a month plus the free replacements, etc. We bought our Dish Network dish for $400 with a rebate, so I think we paid $100 for it in the end, have no idea how they do it now though. Happy hunting!
Direct versus Dish.
I actually prefer Direct TV over Dish. My sister-in-law had dish and there was no rhyme or reason to the program guide. I don't have favorites set up, so I can't really help there. I also don't listen to the music channels but I have a house stereo. Anyway, I have had no problems with getting my remote to work. I can actually sit in my recliner, which puts me at an angle to the receiver, and I can easily change channels without having to move. I also don't have trouble finding anything on the guide. I have the premium plus, HBO, Cinemax, Starz, and my local channels.
Dawn dish soap for fleas
I had this problem before with some kittens. Soak the pup down and scrub it up with dawn dish soap. Apparently the fleas get caught in the "bubbles" and suffocate. Leave this on the puppy for about a 1/2 hour to an hour then rinse. Keep in mind that this does work BUT dry skin occurs.
Recipe for angel hair dish...
*1 box Angel hair pasta
*2 dozen frozen raw jumbo shrimp thawed and peeled(thaws quickly under running water in collander)
*1-1/2 sticks butter and a 1/4 cup olive oil (prevents butter from hardening when cooled)
*A couple of cups of steamed (firm/not overcooked) and chopped brocolli
*Tablespoon of minced garlic or more or less to taste (I use the one in the jar - and we like garlic!)
*Salt and Pepper to taste - few dashes of each
*Melt butter and add oil, garlic, S&P on medium heat in small pot, mixing often
*Cook shrimp in butter mixture until just done and not overcooked, a handful at a time and removing when cooked and setting aside
*Cook and drain pasta, and transfer back into warm pasta pot
Add broccoli, cooked shrimp and pour butter mixture over all and blend together.
Top with parmesan cheese and a bit of parsley, if desired.
Delicious!!!
Need opinions on Dish TV versus Direct TV please.. sm
I have had both and currently have Direct but have never liked it due to the poor programming guide (only allowed to set up one Favorites, have to stand almost in front of the receiver for the remote to work, very difficult to find anything on the guide, not good music channels, etc.). I am only 9 months into a 2 year "programming contract" and feel I am going to be charged a cancellation fee though do not know how much. Anyway, I would like opinions from others on the service, etc. of both these companies before I make my decision to switch. Thanks to all who take the time to answer!
You can make the whole dish tonight and store in refrigerator!!
I do this all the time for church. Boil them, fill them and wrap good in wrap. Make sure you wrap them really good or your frig will smell like eggs! They will be fine for tomorrow!! In fact, I like them better!! Hope everything works out!
Yeah! The judges RAVED about that pasta dish!
Dish Network versus Direct TV. Need advice..sm
I am trying to decide between Dish or Direct TV and would like to hear from those who have (or have had) either as to which system is better. I have done research on the web but would like opinions from users as far as reliability, service, channel selection, cost, if you can split a receiver between different rooms or need a receiver for each television in order to watch a different channel, etc. Any opinion is appreciated! Thanks.
Dish versus Direct Satellite service
I have had Direct Satellite for approximately 10 years now. Of course, the men have all the ESPN and other sports channels. But, our pictures are great (have on 3 televisions), and the DVR feature the kids love to record events. In the past 10 years now, service has only been out twice, and then that will be from severe storms, but it clears up quickly once the storm passes. I do not know anything about Dish, but heard that is also a good satellite program. It is not cheap with all sports and movie channels in, but they watch them all the time when home.
oh my gosh, would you, yourself, bathe in DAWN dish soap - ouch!
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Vaseline works too and to rinse out use Dawn dish soap.nm

You could bathe with a gentle shampoo or even dish detergent, rinse well and if you have vinegar do
a vinegar rinse and then do a final rinse. This might drown the fleas or at least stun them. If dog is light colored you might be able to see them and pick them off when dog is wet. If you have a dog brush, brush it outside and you might get some off that way. If you have tea tree oil you can put some around its neck area or on a collar if you have one. This is a fairly strong smell though and we've always had to wash it off the same day, though lots of people swear by this. I can't think of anything else you can do with stuff you already have around the house.
We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and have never had a flea problem, but now we can't seem to get rid of them and my dog is on 3 different treatments and I still find an occasional flea. She has developed a sensitivity to bites too and scratches all the time and can't take prednisone because she has Cushings.
Growing up we had a tri-colored Pembroke corgi. He was the sweetest thing and I still miss him terribly, 30 years later.
Just slang for girls, from a long time ago. Lots of them.. Dish, Broad, Chick...

Why not provide the meat and have every bring a side dish, appy, or dessert? You're looking at to

chicken pox
Poor child, I had the same; I couldn't swallow - even my saliva hurt going down.
As I recall, that lasted about 3-4 days.
Chicken Fat
http://www.clubcourtyard.com/ChickenFat.html
Whole chicken. sm.
I like to bake mine whole too. I put a full can of beer inside the cavity (up its butt sorta speaking), but then I cook it in one of those Reynold's cooking bags about 20 minutes per pound. It falls off the bone. Sometimes they have specials where I live where you can get them for only 29 and 39 cents a pound. I buy 3 or 4 then.
I have a chicken dog too :)
My dalmation is so afraid of storms. She tries to crawl under my desk when it thunders and just shakes. If I pet her for a while she will calm down. The other day we had a storm and I was doing dishes and she tried to crawl under my kitchen sink, knocking everything out. She also hates the vacuum and the hose. I don't know that I would give her medication. That may be more trying for her than the occasional storm. Maybe letting her in your office might help if you see it is going to storm. A few treats never hurt either!

Yea. The sky is still there, but my pay/money is gone!!!!! Where'd it go??!

Chicken pox in the mouth
I'd be calling my doc asap with it being in her mouth. The home remedy I had to use was Maalox/Benadryl and doc added diluted Xylocaine to numb it. My dd had it on her uvula also. Made a concotion of yogurt with the above also and added Lysine to it to. That is after the doc had a look at her. Good luck but don't mess around.
Um, chicken, not chick.
chicken recipe
The recipe says 2 toss of garlic. Is it suppose to be 20 toes of garlic since you call this 20-garlic chicken? Thanks for your help.
20 garlic chicken. sm
At the risk of sounding dumb - are you supposed to use two whole actual things of garlic. Garlic has always confused me. The recipe sounds wonderful but two whole garlic or two segments of one garlic thingy?

Anyone eat chicken a la king?
Chicken a LA King Recipe
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups evaporated milk or half-and-half
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup chopped pimiento
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add mushrooms and green pepper; cook for 5 minutes. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring and cooking until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. If you'd like a thicker sauce, blend 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water; add to sauce, a little at a time, until desired thickness is reached. Cook for a few more minutes. Add chicken and pimiento; heat through. Serve on toast points or pastry shells or rice. Chicken a la King Recipe serves 6 to 8.
Never had anything but chicken livers and
n
Sometimes I do boneless chicken
breasts marinated in barbecue sauce. Just put them in on low and let them cook all day long. They come out so tender that they just fall apart!! Also, pork tenderloin is excellent in the crockpot. You can buy them pre-marinated at the grocery store or you can mix up your own concoction. Boneless chicken breast is also excellent if you use Newman's Own Balsamic Vinegrette salad dressing as a marinade. I know it may sound strange, but I guarantee you if you try it, you'll fall in love with it!
We all know she's really having fried chicken. LOL!
