| a long, lost friend |
There are so many kinds of friends in the real world and cyber world. Can a plant be your friend? Possibly, it just feels like a friend.
Being away from the farm on a brief trip to New Orleans, it was hard to predict what changes might occur. The plants and animals would keep with their routine - either growing or eating, in some cases, maybe both.
But, upon return, the first day lily bloom had appeared. The flower of a day lily, as the name implies, lasts only one day. Here it was joyfully balancing on a slender stem extending its greeting. My long, lost friend had come back. It is nature's miracle that a plant can lie dormant all winter and then at the right moment in time, reappear.
It doesn't matter how many years go by, a thankful appreciation goes to all the flowers that reappear each year to brighten the farm.
Here is a easy and reliable slow cooker recipe for those hot summer days.
ANGEL CHICKEN
6 skinless,
boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 lbs.
¼ cup butter
1 oz pkg. Italian salad dressing mix
1 oz can condensed golden mushroom soup
½ cup dry white wine
1/2 of an 8 oz. tub of cream cheese with chives
and onion
Hot cooked angel-hair
pasta or wild rice
Snipped fresh chives,
optional

crock pot.
- Melt butter in
saucepan; stir in the Italian seasoning mix. Then the golden mushroom soup,
white wine and cream cheese until combined. Pour over the chicken.

4-5 hours.
