You Know I Like My Chicken [Pan] Fried

Foodblog-4593

Good evening!!

A fun day was had. Matt and I made a few videos (for upcoming project TBA in September) and then Karen and I went to see Hope Springs!! I loved the movie and found it hilarious – I had a smile on my face the whole first half!! The acting was brilliant and the writers so clever. I’d definitely recommend seeing it!

Munched on this AnneP bar during the show:

I walked home after the movie and Matt and I headed over to Pumpkin’s house!!! Pumpkin’s human sister, Sarah, had a baby girl 2 weeks ago and her parents (our neighbors) invited us over for cocktail hour to meet the little baby. She was so tiny and cute and definitely gave me a boost of oxytocin!! While we were there we enjoyed a few finger foods to tide us to dinner. We were also told that Pumpkin caught (and ate!) a lizard this week!! Crazy kitty : )

Back on our side of the fence, Matt put the finishing touches on a dinner he worked on while Karen and I were at the movies (he was thrilled to skip the movie and cook : ) )

Delicious Organic Butcher herb chicken breasts, pan fried and oven finished. They had the perfect crispy crust!

Matt also made what he called an “okra + tomato salsa” that he served atop fresh zucchini.

He simmered together of medium heat until thick and reduced: 2 cups chopped okra, 1 cup mixed small tomatoes, 4 large tomatoes, 1 small poblano pepper, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp sugar, 1 clove of garlic and salt to taste – maybe 1/2 a tsp. [Thanks for taking notes Kanz!]

I was in charge of heating up and buttering potato rolls to go with the meal : )  The best part!

Despite my early rise this AM, I had great energy today. But as bedtime approaches, I can’t wait to go to sleep!

    That chicken sounds amazing! Could you explain more about how Matt cooked it?

      A hot stainless skillet with about 2 tbsp of safflower oil. Cook on skin side until fully seared (turning brown) and then flip and bake at 375* for about 20 minutes until inside reaches 165*

    mannn i love some okra! I just spend a week in lousiana where I ate okra probably 5 different ways, but my favorite ways were smothered okra and seasoned dehydrated okra (better than popcorn). now i need to try this okra salsa!

    I can’t believe how close you are to seeing your little one! I just went through baby pictures of my boys (now 11 1/2 and 14!) while times have changed, they are still my little guys! The next adventure for you two is going to be so much fun! Sleep well tonight Kath!

    Hey my birthday twin 🙂
    I have been reading your blog for a couple years!
    I am glad to see you are feeling well. My sister had her first baby one month ago and she also reported that she felt strangely energetic and productive in the day or two before she went into labor. I am wishing the best for u!!
    Cant wait to read and see so many great pictures of the little one 🙂

    My okra didn’t do so well this year. It’s an old variety that gets VERY big. My neighbor, who gave me the seed, had good luck so his wife brought me about 7 pound of okra last night. I was putting up okra until 10pm but it’s worth it. We love okra and tomatoes, fried okra, plain ole boiled okra. No matter about the slime, we love it.

    I saw the movie and my review is the same as yours. My daughter in law and son went to see it.(they are yours and Matt’s age) She loved it, but my son thought it was creepy and he was embrassed to be there. She now reports that he has made her to agree to see two “dude movies” to make up for it. LOL

      Ha ha. I think the men don’t like it because Arnold was soooo weird in the beginning! I put most of the blame on him

    Perfect zucchini and glad you’re getting a lot of mileage out of the homemade granola bars – see, aren’t you happy you made that bet with yourself now!

    I’m sure you’ve answered this elsewhere, but why is Matt called Kanz? It’s not his last name, so is it his middle name?

    We almost saw that movie this weekend, but I was convinced otherwise by my boyfriend plus it only got only mediocre critical reviews. But, your raves are putting it back onto my ‘to see’ list. We finally saw the Wes Anderson movie, and liked it a lot- we love indies and quirky style films vs. the broad humor mass appeal movies. To that end, a great film that was just released on demand: The Separation – foreign, ‘small story” family drama, impeccable performances. Highly recommended.

    On another note, those tomatoes have me craving savory at 6 am!

    I have a hunch today may be THE day for your little guy to say hello…fingers crossed!

    This food all sounds delicious! I’ve been looking for new ways to incorporate vegetables into my daily diet, and making a unique salsa to put on top of zucchini sounds both healthy and tasty! Do you have any good recommendations for dairy-free meals? I can’t wait to check out the rest of your blog!
