When I grilled chicken for Alice Springs Chicken for company, a week ago Saturday, I also grilled an extra breast in anticipation of the next night's dinner: Caesar-dressed mixed greens. That wonderfully seasoned grilled chicken and that nicely garlicked Caesar dressing were tasty ways to bring a great weekend to an end. (And what was especially great about that weekend? A blog post will show up soon, and all shall be revealed regarding completion of another long-hoped-for project.)
On Tuesday night, I grilled more fresh seasoned chicken breasts, and on Thursday night I put prepped seasoned chicken tenders into the sous vide. Those salads were dressed with homemade Thousand Island dressing. Once more, mighty good, with that dressing being a particularly winning concoction.
The third round of salads had a sweet conclusion: homemade sugar cookies. Film students from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, who were here for a blocking session, wrapped up their meeting just as I was ready to serve them up. It was music to my ears when they found them delightful, when they readily accepted seconds, and when one said: "Wait: you made these from scratch?!"
