Good Eating Tuesday: Lombardy Chicken & Corn on the Cob

-
Here's something we had for dinner this week:
Lombardy Chicken & Corn on the Cob!
Lombardy is a region of northern Italy, which is perhaps where the name comes from. Dishes in that region of Italy are more meat-based & buttery.
For Chicken Lombardy, I buy packages of thin sliced chicken breast, though I think pork scallopini, which comes thin-sliced would work just as nicely.
You can, of course, slice & pound your own boneless chicken breasts if you prefer.
I use a mix of flour & cornmeal seasoned with salt & pepper (about half & half) to dredge the chicken slices before frying in butter. 
This gives a nicer crust then just flour.
For something so simple, Chicken Lombardy is deliciously cheesy and rich tasting!
The corn is something we got from the local farmers market held on weekends at a nearby plaza. Hubby picked up more ears at the Commissary last Sunday, so we grilled and enjoyed more corn for lunch today!
Tonight: left over Panda Express Chow Mean

I have 2 Amaryllis, each in a container out in my front beds: one is a dark, solid red and the other is this reddish-orange & white. Both have been faithful to bloom for like 15 years! Today's other picture is Chinese Stonecrop in one of my patio containers, which is just now starting to bloom. I'm not quite sure how it got there exactly, but it looks really good!

Writers Prompt Thursday: Cosplay Dress Up

  A little known fact about me is I was once was an active member of an Official Star Trek Club.  It was around the spring of 1988. My husband and I were living in Eglin Air Force Base Housing at the time and we saw listed in the personal ads in the Base newspaper that someone was seeking people interested in participating in a Star Trek Club. So, we were immediately interested and called the provided phone number. Turned out it was a couple right there in Base Housing. who only lived a few streets away from us, named Chris & Tammy. We promptly met them and soon we and a few others became regular Club attendees. To become an "Official Chapter of Starfleet," we first had to choose a name for our club, which was considered our "ship," then we registered formally with whoever managed the Trek Club regional chapters in Florida at that time. It had to be a unique name not being used by any other club.  Then we members in order to become "official crew members,&q

Mama Kat Thursday: Worst Gift Ever

-

The Mama Kat topic for today is:  "Share a story about the best or worst gift you ever received." You wouldn't think chocolate could be a  worst possible gift, but, in this case, it was. It wasn't even wrapped. It was just a Dark Lindt Chile Chocolate bar that a guy from our singles Bible study handed me. He was a regular at our Sunday night study, a Navy guy in the school for learning how to disarm explosive devices. He knew I fancied chocolate and he happened to fancy Lindt's spicy Chocolate Chile bar. So, one evening at our on base Tuesday Bible Study, he called me aside and handed me one of these Lindt Chocolate Chile bars.   "Here, this is for you, " he said. I said, "Thank you,"  accepted it and slipped it into my book bag to take home for later. " No, " he said, his face clearly displeased I'd dare keep it for myself. "I want you to share it with everyone else." What? You give me a gift, the

Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's.  I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter.
