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!!)

kooking with k-dawg
today k-dawg and i are making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. yummy!!
while i do love my brother very much he is v. strange and has some odd quirks. First, he refers to lisa as "my mom" eventhough she gave birth to ajh and i and is currently mother to all 3 of us. Secondly, if he believes that something was done one way once he has to do it the same every time (pronounced EB-er-RE TIME). one might call this obsessive compulsive, and one might be correct. thus we made a new recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip raisin cookies on a metal jelly roll pan.
oatmeal cookies are a family staple. we always make the vanishing oatmeal cookies from Quaker Oats they are amazing and perfect. K-dawg is convinced that lisa makes the recipe on the back of the Toll House Chocolate Chip bag. she does not and i am sure of it. she might make the regular chocolate chip cookies from there but NOT the oatmeal ones. they are very different and the milk in the Toll House recipe plumps the oatmeal and sort of conceals it. good for the non oatmeal lovers. BAD FOR ME!
as for the metal jelly roll pan apparently lisa uses it. i think this was a lie on his part and when he goes outside to play and i am switching back to the cooking stone (better cookie bottom).
all in all my time spent with k-dawg was productive and we ended it on happy terms with cookies for lisa and thug when they return from work. I give it an A+!
