Yes. We are taking another trip.

I can imagine what everyone is thinking now.  "They just got back".

Well this one was planned spur of the moment this past Monday.  Of course, all our trips are always planned spur of the moment.

Not going to reveal our destination yet.......but will drop a hint or two off each day and see if you can figure it out. 

Hint 1:  Travel dates are February 8-February 11.

Hint 2:  We're going somewhere where no one will probably be able to guess where it is.

Onto other news:

Cooking!

I've been cooking again lately.  Yay!

Here's a couple of pictures to imprint the occasion in our memories.


The best and easiest chicken in the world.  Chicken breasts sprinkled with Salt, Pepper, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder.


Fry them up in butter until they are done.  Your chicken will turn out nice and juicy!


Serve them with a side of "special" rice.  Boil regular rice in Chicken or Beef Broth as the liquid.  At the end mix in sliced green onions.  It's good just like that, but this last time I also threw in some chopped Cilantro.  This was the easiest darn dinner and tastes so so good.

The other night I made the Green Chile Chicken Salad and wrapped it in Spinach Tortilla Wraps with lettuce and avocado.  Served with a side of chips and a dill pickle.  Oh my......it was delicious.

The next evening, we didn't have dinner plans.  As we were talking we both came up with the weirdest thing we wanted.  What's even funnier is why we would even choose this?!?!?!?!?!


Yes.  We actually had Manwich for dinner.  And it was very very delicious.
 
Tonight's challenge will be new recipe.  We've recently discovered Lemongrass Soup and it's so yummy (we are talking really really yummy).  So I'm making a trip to the Chinese market today to get my ingredients:  Lemongrass, Ginger root, Red Chiles, Fish Sauce, Chili Paste, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, and Cilantro.


I can honestly say that I could never imagine myself saying I need to get Lemongrass and Fish Sauce for dinner tonight.  Crazy stuff starts happening to you after you turn 50!

Okay, time to get the day started.  And just for the memories.....it's a crazy iced over city kind of day and the news is filled with all the accidents and people stuck on icy bridge stories.  Glad I get to work from the comfort of my own toasty home wearing comfy clothes.  Ahhhhhh.......what a life!

P.S.  Did you figure out where we're going yet?
