Dinner at the Prophets'
Prosciutto-stuffed chicken breasts

Butterfly chicken breasts and trim fat. Stuff with prosciutto ham, sliced mushrooms, and shredded cheddar. Saute in butter seasoned with 1/4 tsp basil, 1/4 tsp marjoram, and a pinch of tarragon. When chicken is beginning to cook, add 1/2 cup chianti and continue to saute.

Also-Steamed asparagus spears with Hollandaise sauce, and cheddar/cream cheese mashed potatoes with red wine gravy.

Buon appetito!

3. That sounds good!
I really enjoyed both of you at the meetup and I think that adding that to the enjoyment of good food would make for a great experience.

Believe it or not, I am actually a pretty good cook. I used to do a lot of cooking for the family and when I was engaged I did the cooking for us. It's only been recently that being single has taken it's toll when it comes to taking the time to prepare a meal for just me. Once in a while i get the bug again and make some decent dishes.

Enjoy your dinner!

18. I'd be happy to...
CREAMY TURKEY VEGETABLE SOUP

1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups diced unpeeled red potatoes
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) chicken broth
2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups heavy whipping cream

In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Add potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the turkey, vegetables, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Cook 10-12 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Stir in cream; heat through (do not boil). Yield: 8 servings.


** I used about 1/2 cup cream and 1-1/2 cups evaporated skim milk instead of using all cream. It works beautifully and cuts a lot of fat and calories.

** I used chicken instead of turkey.

** You could easily use your own stock instead of canned broth.

13. PETA and I hate you. Dearly.
PETA because they're a bunch of fucking idiots who don't deserve the time of day most times.

Me, because I love prosciutto, and since moving from NYC, the only kind I can find is that shit that comes vacuum-packed from God knows where, so I don't buy it. Better no prosciutto than half-assed prosciutto.

Though if I were making what you made, I wouldn't use cheddar - I'd go with a gruyere. But then, with the Chianti, the gruyere might be the best addition, come to think of it.

15. Gruyere would be good
but the Prophetess doesn't like Swiss cheeses, so a mild cheddar blended quite well. Otherwise I would agree with you.
