Chicken Scallopini
2 LBS chicken breasts or thighs
1/2 TEASPOONS rubbed sage
6 LEMON BASIL LEAVES fresh and chopped
1/2 TEASPOON dill weed, fresh and chopped
1/2 TEASPOON oregano leaves
1/2 TEASPOON marjoran leaves
1 TEASPOON seasoned pepper
8 OUNCES butter
juice from 1 lemon
1/2 CUP red wine
Chicken breasts or thighs, boned and pounded, seem remarkably like veal prepared for sautéing or scallopini. Any preparation or sauce you like for sautéed veal can be used with the chicken. For each serving, allow about 1 pound chicken breast (2 small or 1 large whole breast) or 1 thighs. Bone and skin; if breasts are whole, cut in half.
Place pieces of meat on a large sheet of waxed paper (do a few pieces at a time), arranging 5 or 6 inches apart. Cover with waxed paper and pound meat firmly with a flat-surfaced mallet until each piece is 2 1/2 to 3 times larger in size. Occasionally you will need to replace paper as it tears. Take care to avoid breaking meat apart with uneven blows. Gently ease chicken from paper. Cook at once or transfer to fresh waxed paper, laying our smoothly in a single layer; wrap and chill.
To season, sprinkle lightly with salt; you can also dust sparingly with a crumbled dried herb such as basil leaves, rubbed sage, dill weed, oregano leaves or marjoram leaves, seasoned pepper or seasoned salt (omitting plain salt).
Place sauté pan over high heat and add 1/2 of the butter. Brown thin slices of chicken in pan for about 1 minute on both sides. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Add the remainder of the butter and fresh lemon juice to the pan. Scrape the pan with a spatula and add wine. Let simmer for about 1 minute and add chicken back to the pan. Let simmer for about 2 more minutes and serve hot over pasta or rice.

Ahh..yes.. Thanks Lod.. The one I had was different tho.. It pounded the chicken..which Al loves to do, so I have to let him..lol..and it also used more of a Cacciatore style veggies.. I know I use quite a few fresh chopped toms. It was very like that recipe I gave you..only Italian flavored instead of Mex..
I will copy yours and add my stuff to it.. lol.. smooooch omg.. I need some whine with my cheese I think..and bread.. ;)
To: lodwick
Al's just heading out to get the wine and bread now.. Should we wait until Kathy arrives or have a few before that?
To: lodwick

To: grannie9
Sounds like another grand feast this evening - though that halibut dinner was to die for. It's still a couple of hours early for cocktails here - but I will defend to the death your right to start whenever you wish. Cheers.

An old Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight that is going on inside himself. He said it is between 2 wolves.
One is evil:
Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego....
The other is good:
Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith...
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed."

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. ( and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)
On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how??...)
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion.)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down."(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year olds with head colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and... I'm taking this because???....)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Good afternoon all...finally got here...spent the whole day so far, grocery shopping, and out paying bills...then come home, and cook and get BigDom ready for his day at he post office....
He told me last night the cops came and took one of his fellow employees out in handcuffs...word is, he got caught taking something out of the mail, that did not belong to him....hes screwed....and I cannot imagine that anyone is that stupid...good grief, they all know that there are hidden cameras EVERYWHERE in the postal warehouses, and out on the docks, and that they are constantly being watched and monitored....this guy had lots of seniority, had worked at the post office for many, many years...well, I guess, unless sometime unforseen happens, he loses his job, loses his pension, loses everything....hes also a military Reservist, still active in the reserves, so dont know what effect this is going to have on his military service, ,and possible retirement....
One of the last guys to retire from the post office, that BigDom knew, went straight to jail, after he retired...apparently several years ago, this guy had several DUIs, but for some reason the judge let him postpone jail time, until after he retired from the post office...I never heard of this before, but apparently it happened...the guy stayed clean after this judge gave him a break, keep his record clear, worked for several more years at the post office, and then retired a few months ago...BigDom said, he had the weekend to get his affairs in order, and then he turned himself in, to start serving some jail time for all his DUIs...in that way he was able to keep working, support his family, earned his retirement, and is now spending some of that retirement in jail, serving out his time...
Grannie...love all those 'helpful' hints on products...good grief, the human race, indeed, does seem doomed, if they really do need such instructions...
This reminds me of Andy, whenever he comes to visit, when he leaves, I always say, "Drive Carefully"...he just rolls his eyes, and says, "Yea, right, like I really need that warning, because I fully intend, to drive recklessly"...smart mouthed kid....
To: grannie9
I wish they could get those guys always .. but you can't charge folks for being stupid
But everytime the open their mouths they just prove more and more they are telling the truth

You really believe those three guys, and not the woman? Not me.. I think they are lying thru their teeth.. The problem is, if they are lying, and we let them go.. who's going to pay for it?
Scary, Mo...

Another oldie:
George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, an old granny, and a pretty young blonde were all traveling in the same rail car.
The train entered a long tunnel, and a few seconds later there was a resounding SLAP!
As the train came back out into the sunlight, it was obvious that Clinton had taken one on the chops.
The granny thought, "Well, he had it coming!"
The pretty blonde thought, "I'll bet Bill tried to grope me and got her!"
Clinton thought, "I'll bet Bush copped a feel and the blonde thought it was me."
Bush thought, "That was fun! Next tunnel, I'll slap him again!"
