Chicken breast with sliced tomato and sliced cucumber. I marinaded the chicken in orange juice for about 2 hours, then cooked in a skillet. Then I reduced the juice and added the chicken back in to glaze. I sliced the cucumber thin and the tomato into wedges. I then squeezed a fresh lemon all over and salted, then put in the fridge to chill a few minutes. Out of the fridge, I added the sliced chicken to the plate. Yum! (Though the tomato was awful; I think tasting garden fresh tomato has ruined me). So, what’s for dinner? ---

Just had the final serving of a bag of my wife’s chili I found buried in the basement freezer from 2006. It tasted perfectly wonderful, and there’s still one larger bag yet in deep freeze. (she’s out of town for awhile so I can get by with this kind of thing, for now) ---

I broiled some zucchini and portobello mushrooms with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. And I have a chicken breast in the oven right now, anxiously awaiting some BBQ sauce. ---

Tonight? Just plain pan fried noodles with sauce. Tomorrow? Homemade chicken matzo ball soup, smoked lox, brisket, cooked carrots, sautéed bok choy, macaroons, honey cake and ring jells. It’s Passover. ---

We cheated tonight and took the kids to Dairy Queen for burgers and ice cream. They enjoyed it, I enjoyed not having to clean the kitchen afterwards. Back to boring old Mom Cuisine tomorrow! ---
