Welcome to our very first Blog together! It's Wednesday night and I have to bring lunch tomorrow when I go and teach KINDERGARTEN! Egad. They make ya hungry those little monkeys. When 11:15 rolls around you want nothing more than an ice cold beer and a silent padded room, but alas, what you get is the teachers lounge.
That cold linoleum floored, fluorescent lighted, retreat. Tricked out with two microwaves and no paper towels. It's made all the cozier by the enveloping smell of elementary school food. Needless to say, I bring lunch. Here's what we're having tomorrow:
This one's still raw
Arroz con Pollo. So easy and so delish when reheated.

I take a few drumsticks (Whole foods was having a sale on organic Mary's chicken) Brown them well in canola. Transfer to a plate. Saute onion, shallot, and garlic until soft and then add diced celery and carrots. How much? How much you want? That's how much I put in.
In a nice big casserole dish I put short grain brown rice, water (2x as much as rice), the veggies, some thyme sprigs, peas, two bay leaves a sprinkle of saffron, a nice dusting of turmeric, some salt and pepper. Stir it up, nestle the drumsticks into the mix. Bake at 350 for 30 min. Turn the oven up to 375 and bake for another 30 min or until the liquid is absorbed.
A nice little trick if you are unsure how much seasoning to use, when you have a wide pan like a casserole cover the surface area with the amount you think would be good for that bite. I'm a notorious under salter.
This is, however, better than an over salter for obvious reasons.
Well microwaved tomorrow, it should make a nice diversion from the letter B.
