EASY RECIPE
Sue was picking up sandwiches for the beach, and when she got home she told me how the shop had chicken strips in buffalo wings style sauce. So, while at the beach my mind began to think how I could create a super easy meal from that idea. And then it came to me, Red Hot Chicken Strip Naan Pizza. If you like spicy buffalo wings you will love the following easy recipe.
Recipe Serves 2
Ingredients:
6 oz package fully cooked Chicken Breast Strips
1/8 C Red Hot Wings Sauce (more if you like)
1 C Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 C Roasted Red Pepper & Artichokes Tapenade (Trader Joe’s)
1/2 small Red Onion – sliced into thin circles
1/4 C Fresh Basil- chopped
2 Mushrooms – sliced
2 Nann or flat breads
1 Tbsp olive oil
Preparation:
Marinade the chicken strips in the Red Hot Wings Sauce for half or so in the refrigerator.
Use the oil to coat an oven sheet.
Place the 2 Nann breads on the oiled oven sheet .
Spread tapenade onto each Naan (as you would with pizza sauce).
Add mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, red onions, and red hot chicken strips.
Place in 450 degree for 8 to 10 minutes.
Plate, add basil as garnish, and serve with a salad.
And in just about no time you have a fantastic gourmet pizza dinner for two!
AND STUFF
I almost never go in the water. Yet, I am a huge water sport fan. I’m not a big swimmer. But, I can swim good enough for the boat to swing around and get me if somehow I were to fall overboard. Yet, I can unaided plow through miles of water in a day. My water just has to be frozen. Or more to the point snow!
So, there I was last Sunday at the beach with She Who must Be Obeyed tanning. Sue is reading and I am thinking. After a time I announce that this winter my goal is to ski 12 days at Mammoth. I started to explain the various weekend trip potentials, when slowly Sue raised her head, stared at me, and said something to the affect I must crazy thinking of skiing while at the beach on a beautiful summer day.
Maybe, but in my defense my youngest just ended week one of football conditioning so my mind has moved on into the fall already. And, with all that water crashing onto the beach is it any wonder I would start thinking of my water sport.
Last season Mother Nature was not kind. There was snow to be sure, but nothing like we are used to at Mammoth. The season was saved by 2 or 3 storms and an army of young men and women moving snow blower canons from point to point. Without those wonderful people working in artificial blizzards there would been little joy on the slopes. I confess my son and I didn’t go up as much as we could have. But at least we got in 5 or so days . I was told that thousands of seasons passes were not even activated on the mountain last winter. Each to there own I guess, but for me skiing wonderfully groomed man made snow is better than not skiing. Lots better.
So, here it is August, and I’m searching the Internet for an open ski shop that can help me fit my boots. I gotta be ready when the first dump arrives in Mammoth!
Good Eating and Table Talk,
