Thank you for joining me on my new new Blogg & food journal. I know I have been off and on Blogger for a while now, and I have come to a decision to start a fresh new blog here online. I have yet to figure out what I am going to do with the other blog, so don't be surprised if it gets deleted somewhere down the road.
I know that I have a strange and weird lifestyle being a practicing Pagan, an avid new cook (don't know if one considers being in the hospitality biz 7+ yrs off & on "new"), and a volunteer for several events depending on where I am living at the time.......but its me and I wouldn't give it up for anything at the moment.
If you need to email me for something, (pretty much anything food wise), you can email me here at
someoneelsescook013@gmail.com
and I will get back to you as soon as I can........
Hopefully this time around, besides the food, I will be posting about what happened to me at work and all other kinds of stuff that has happened to me for the day, even if it has been a long day. So please keep me on my toes by emailing me if I loose a few days worth of postings.....would greatly appreciate it a lot.
Last night, I made this chicken recipe that I had found on Epicurious. To me, it's a variation of Chicken Cordon Blue, in a way. I definitely will make it again here in the near future.

preparation
For chicken:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Pound chicken between sheets of waxed paper to thickness of 1/4 inch using meat mallet. Pat chicken dry. Combine cheese, green onions and basil in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread cheese mixture lengthwise over half of each chicken piece. Tuck short ends in. Roll chicken up, starting at one long side, into tight cylinders. Tie ends with string to secure. Dip chicken in egg, allowing excess to drip into bowl. Roll in breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate.)
Place chicken in 8-inch square baking dish. Pour 2 tablespoons melted butter over. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes.

For sauce:
Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add wine and boil 3 minutes. Add stock and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and swirl in 4 tablespoons cold butter 1 piece at a time. Season sauce with salt and freshly ground pepper. Remove string from chicken. Cut rolls crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Fan on plates. Serve immediately, passing sauce separately.
