Jenn's Chicken Alfredo, Variation on a Theme

Jenn, I've taken your amazing recipe and gave it a few modifications.

Judy, This one's for you:

1)Saute a few chicken breasts in olive oil, add a little water, cover and steam until almost done.
2)Add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and a few chunks of cheese. Stir until well-blended.
3)THEN, pile a big bunch of fresh spinach leaves over all. Cover and cook until spinach is wilted into the sauce.
4)Stir in a dash of nutmeg (secret ingredient) for a flavor boost.
5)Serve over your choice of pasta (I used shells.)

So simple, soooo good!
I'd recommend a glass of white wine (we had apple cider) and a chocolaty dessert for one outstanding meal.

Thanks, Jenn, for the inspiration. (You know, this may work well with that left-over turkey!)

Our Weekend

Jenn and BF Sean came up for a weekend visit. Jenn came bearing tasty treats from The Cupcake Boutique where she's been working. We're enjoying a few dozen cupcakes, each one with a different flavor and icing. Absolutely gourmet cupcakes.
She and Sean shopped and prepared an outstanding meal of Chicken Alfredo, Jenn's very own recipe. Sean verifies that the recipe has undergone many transformations, and each time it just gets better. I'd say she has this one down to perfection, and I do hope she shares her recipe.
This was also shopping weekend. Geo is in the market for a new man-size leather reading chair. The choice has been narrowed down to a deep burgundy brown leather recliner, the color formerly called "Oxblood," and now "Newport". (I like "Oxblood" so much better.)
The big purchase will be made this week.
Addie met BF Zach's 'rents this weekend for the first time. They had a whirlwind visit with their son before heading back to Maine. She reports all went well.
And today Jenn and I went shopping for new outfits. She found exactly what she loved, and I have a new Take Mom out for a Night on the Town outfit, that will also work for a holiday party.
Soooo good to see Jenn and Sean again. Am Looking forward to being together again for Thanksgiving.

A Take on the Election

Ed Rollins says that the reason to hold an election is to see if the polls are right.

Peggy Noonan has some advice for the undecideds. Think about how you’ll feel the day after the election when all the news headlines are “McCain Wins!” Or how will you feel when you see “Obama Wins!” She predicts that the prospect of a McCain presidency may make people feel depressed, and an Obama presidency will cause anxiety. She goes on to say that more people would rather feel anxious than depressed, so it looks like the undecideds go to Obama.

TV Guide predicts the big winner in this election is SNL.

It’s been quite a ride, and whoever wins - whether it's McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden, do keep your seatbelts fastened, we’re in for rocky roads ahead.
