"Minds, like diapers, need occasional changing.
~ The Ballad of Lucy Whipple by Karen Cushman

This was a busy week, both with buyers and sellers and with life in the spring! Our grandson  pitched his first inning on Saturday when it was so cold that even my husband was huddled under a hood!

In contrast, yesterday was in the 90s! We had our son's annual rib cookout on Mother's Day… when I also saw my first tulips of the season and our daughter again hand picked truffles from The Painted Turtle for me for Mother's Day!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
This week's recipe is based on a recipe from allrecipes.com… good flavor, be careful not to overcook.

SPICY GARLIC LIME CHICKEN
  • Garlic lime chicken1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspooon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspooon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • Juice of 1-2 limes

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Rub spice mixture onto all sides of chicken breasts using all the mixture.

Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until golden brown and juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side (do not overcook). Sprinkle with minced garlic and lime juice, cover and about 5 more minutues, stirring to coat evenly with the sauce.
