We are due for some rain this weekend during the afternoon hours, so I doubt I'll cook anything outside.
So no Boston butts this weekend. I knew going into Wed. they would stay in the freezer.
We got about 20 mins. of rain yesterday. (Friday)
Woo-Hoo!!!
Man you should have heard the thunder rolling around here.
It was awesome, but it could have become very dangerous very quickly.
The heat being what it is right now, and when cooler air moves through, things can become very dangerous in just seconds.
High winds, heavy cloud to ground lightning strikes, and torrent, blinding downpours.
(I'm serious, it can rain so hard you can't see the hood of your vehicle, much less the road.
It can last 2 mins. or 10 mins. and you are totally blind to the road.
That...my friend...is a very uneasy feeling. It has happened to me before...
And that is what happened about 2 miles from our house when Julie was coming back home.
So this weekend... is calling for rain coats and rubber duckies.
"Bring it on"...
Anyway, Enjoy your day!!!

Oh...I almost forgot, here is a recipe for chicken and pasta.
Enjoy!!!
Creamy Chicken and Angel Hair Pasta
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3/4 of a .7-ounce package of dry, Italian-style salad dressing mix
1/4 cup white wine (see note)
1/2 can condensed golden mushroom soup
2 ounces cream cheese with chives
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
8 ounces angel hair pasta
Pre-heat oven to 325.
In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat.
Add oregano and dressing. Blend in wine and mushroom soup, mixing until combined.
Blend in cream cheese and stir until smooth.
Allow to simmer gently.
Arrange chicken breasts in 8-by-8-inch baking dish and pour sauce over.
Bake for 60 minutes uncovered.
When chicken is almost done boil the pasta in salted water and drain well.
Serve chicken on warm angel hair pasta.
My Note: When cooking with wine use a drinkable wine, not the stuff you can get at the store.
It has way to much salt, and it can burn and turn bitter, thereby ruining your recipe.
It doesn't have to be the expensive stuff either.
Just a good drinkable wine, white or red.
