girls weekend
its just me and lisa at home this weekend. pa-thug and k-dawg have gone camping with the boy scouts. Poor pa-thug.
tonight we are having buffalo chicken dip. in college alex and i used to make this on tuesdays and get a 1.5l of sauvignon blanc. this was not only classy but good on the waist line.
i am currently boiling the chicken and only wish lisa would let me drink a bottle or two of wine... i guess a gimlet will do!!!
recipe for buffalo chicken dip
1 pkg neufchatel cream cheese (low fat cream cheese)
1 can of chunked chicken (this grosses me out to no end so i boil chicken breast and shred them myself)
hot sauce (tonight we are using franks red-hot wing sauce)
cheddar cheese
blue cheese dressing
(if you have ever made sky-line dip (ohio people!!!) or chilli dip the prep will be familar)
decide if you want to cook in the oven or in the microwave (i always choose oven but its up to you!) if you choose oven turn to 350 and pre-heat!
take a glass dish such as a pie dish or a 9x13 (again this is your call) glass dish and spread the cream cheese on the bottom.
poor blue cheese dressing to cover all of the cream cheese
in a bowl put the chicken and put in hot sauce to taste (if you like heat add more!! with all the dairy do not be afraid to coat the chicken well!)
dump the chicken on top of the blue cheese
top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
place in over and cook for 10 min until all cheese is melted or microwave (covered) for 5 min increments until cheese is melted. eat with chips!!!!
a picture will follow after we are done! (i told you i would add picutres!!)

rant.
while we try and keep this blog a happy positive place i have a rant to share with you today!
last night my parents, my brother and i ate at Fellini's. with all of us being new the the area we rely on the suggestions of friends and co-workers for places to eat! we arrived and were told there was a 25 minute wait. there was no waiting area except by the front door and it was quite chilly out side. so we attempted to move to the bar. i started as my mother went to get my brother and father. as i made my way to the bar i was GRABBED by the hostess. she litterly put her hands on me and yanked me backwards. She told me there was no room for me at the bar. Ok, i can accept that, EXCEPT just after that i watched 3 groups of middle aged people walk to the bar with out being stopped!!!! During my 30 min wait for a table, i only once saw the hostess stop another person and that was a twenty-something couple, possible college students.
I approached the hostes and ask to have a word with her where i shared my observations. She became hostile and continued to touch me. Told me she did not have time to police the bar, but that was what she was doing to keep anyone not middle aged away.
I would have left but my parents insisted we stay. I will NEVER go back. if you live in the norfolk-virginia beach area DO NOT GO to this restaurant.
Oh and one other thing: THEY ALLOW SMOKING!!!!! so not only was i treaty rudely but i was exposed unwillingly to a carcinogenic.
rant over, enjoy your sunday!!!

yummy yummy
tonight in honor of the downpour and the fact that will it not let up until Friday lisa and i made wedding soup. this is my favorite thing and i disregard my gluten intolerance to eat vats of it. that's what my very own super secret recipe makes!
i love fall/winter/early spring because in all of them you can enjoy this broth-y meatball-y bliss. this time we subsutited regular meatballs for the trader joe's turkey ones. they are a bit bigger but taste the same!!!
picture will be up tomorrow! recipe will not follow sorry. its for the cookbook!
