Treasure Tuesday

Did you know I live in the only state where gambling is allowed statewide, but lottery is not legal? That makes sense.

So, in order to participate in the Mega Millions $335 Million jackpot, I had to go to California. And wait in line. For an hour. It was crazy. But hey if you don't play, you can't win - right? Here is a picture of the front HALF of the line:


Then, we went grocery shopping. And I came home and finished another curtain. Then we made dinner:

Chicken-Okra Saute

• 12 oz uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium onion, thickly sliced
• 1 medium green pepper, chopped
• 1 medium red pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 2 tbs canned chicken broth
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 cups fresh okra, or 10 oz package of frozen okra
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Spray a large nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Add onion, peppers, wine and broth to pan. Saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and chicken, saute for 3-5 minutes until chicken is almost cooked through. If using fresh okra, add to pan and continue to saute until chicken is cooked through and okra is cooked but still crispy, about 3 minutes. If using frozen okra, add frozen okra directly to pan, and stir to break apart and thaw. It will take 5-8 minutes to cook okra and chicken.

Then I made banana bread. And watched The Wonder Years and Doogie Houser. I forgot how much I loved watching those shows!

I am tired. It is time to veg and put on jammies.

Much Love,
