Today is one of those awesome days I live for every year. I got to sleep in till about 9:00 a.m. this morning and got up to a perfect pitcher of iced tea. I turned on Game Day in the Kitchen and started going through my cabinets and recipes. You guessed it...........I cook and watch college football all day. My tastes are a bit eclectic and no one dish is designed to go with another. I just like to cook certain foods.
My first dish I opted to create is actually for tomorrow. I am making chicken & dressing to go with the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese that I am cooking for lunch tomorrow when all my kids and grandkids arrive! It's going to be a special Sunday afternoon to have Jake, Lisa and Lori, their spouses and all the kids under one roof, if but for only a couple of hours.
Then I chose to take Mama's Duck & Wild Rice Recipe and try it with dove. It is still cooking and the jury is still out on that one. I'm also cooking a big pot of soup that we can munch on all week long. There is nothing better to me that a big bowl of soup and cornbread at night when I get home from work. Finally, I made some Queso Blanco. Velveeta makes that now and it is pretty awesome. I add the regular can of Rotel, but my friend Donna Boles told me to add in a carton of fresh pico and it makes such an amazing difference. It tastes just like the Queso at Fuzzy's. All I need is whatever they sprinkle on their chips there, and I'm Fuzzy in Cleburne.
It's been a great day so far. All I need now is about 3 more TV's in my den so I can keep up with all the games I am watching today!
