Rosemerry Chicken

Good day to all and Blessings to all who enter this site!

Rosemerry Chicken

Need:  The amount of Chicken Breast to feed your family ( I use 4 B.S. Breast)

Dried rosemerry ( I use a small -centered- palm full for 4 peices)

Salt & pepper (to taste)

oil for frying mixed with butter/margrine (I use olive oil for this only but I'm sure any oil will work)

A Cast iron skillet (this is the only pan I've used for this)

Proceedure:  Pour about 1 to 2 tbsp of oil into skillet & about 1 to 2 pats of butter.  Heat till water dropplets sizzle in it.  Season Chicken w/ Salt & Pepper. Just before placing chicken in pan, crush rosemerry in palm & heat in pan. When you can start to smell the herb, place chicken in pan and brown on both sides

That's it! I serve this with egg noodles mixed with butter & herbs. For the veggie, greenbeans.

Enjoy! This is a family favorite! =)

Pour Man's Cake

I got this recipie out of Reminice magazine years ago.  I have had nothing but rave reviews anytime I make.  My husband (who's a picky eater) absolutley loves this cake.  No frosting needed, the cake is so moist. Best of all, is that this cake requires very little ingrediants.  From what I remember of the article accompining the cake, it's a recipie from the '30's when everything was rationed.  Even if your on the poorest budget you can afford to make this cake every now & then. If your budget is a little better then you can have this on a bi monthly scale.

Makes a 9x9 cake.

Sift 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, 1 teaspoon soda & 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl.  Add 1 cup cold water, 6 tablespoons butter/margrine, 1 tablespoon vinegar & 1 teaspoon imatation vanilla.  Mix till smooth and pour into an 8" or 9" square pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 325* to 350*. 

Please note temp & bake time vary according to altitude.  I live at 6000 feet and it takes approximately 23 minutes at 325*.  When I lived below sea leval it was a differant time & temp. Experiment according to your altitude. If you live at a high or higher alituted than I do you should not have to change any ingrediant ratio, nor should you at below sea leval.  However, please make any adjustments needed for your area.
