BAD STORMS TO THE EAST, GREAT TIME FOR PICTURES!

I thought by the structure and size of this storm cloud that it was probably tornadic - it was!

CHICKEN LOMBARDY-NOT SO MUCH

So after the exploding coke disaster it was time to cook dinner.  Tonight I had planned a dish called Chicken Lombardy from Southern Living Magazine.  It was supposed to be over linguini and I made steamed green beans to go with it.




It was just okay.  Actually the chicken dish was good and had a good taste, but what the recipe called "sauce" was really brothy and ran all over the plate.  It was also a lot of trouble.  Probably won't make it again.  Next time I will just made Chicken Marsala.


Side Note:  I did double the liquid thinking that it would make a sauce, which obviously it didn't, it just stayed brothy.  Maybe that made a big difference, but then there wouldn't have been sauce for the pasta.  Still think it's not really a keeper.

MORAL OF THE STORY: ALWAYS SET A TIMER
