Default Thursday's Dinner

Tonight we're havng blackened chicken breast, a mixture of lightly cooked
okra, corn and tomatoes, and brown rice cooked in chicken stock with onions,
garlic, and herbs.

We'll have dessert if I can find the key lime cake I baked, portioned, and
froze.

Christine, I almost hate to publish this because it's based on a couple of
boxed ingredients, but it's really delicious. No matter where I take this
or whom I serve it to, there's never a crumb left.

Key Lime Cake

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cakes Desserts


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----CAKE-----
1 ea Box lemon flavor cake mix
(18.25 oz)
1 ea Box lime flavor gelatin
(3 oz)
5 Eggs
1 c Crisco Oil
3/4 c Fresh-squeezed orange juice
-----GLAZE-----
1/2 c Fresh-squeezed key lime juice (or Mexican lime)
2 c Confectioner's Sugar

Combine dry cake mix and dry gelatin in large mixing bowl. Blend eggs,
oil, and orange juice in a blender for at least 5 minutes. Gradually add
egg mixture to dry ingredients, beating 5 minutes. Bake in greased 9 x
13 baking pan for 45-50 minutes in 350 degree oven, or until it tests
done when a toothpick is inserted in the middle.

When cake tests done, remove from oven and pierce top all over with
fork.

Combine lime juice and confectioner's sugar and spread evenly on top of
cake. This will soak into cake. Seal the cake well and refrigerate
overnight.

Cake needs no frosting, but may be dusted with additional confectioner's
sugar at serving time or served with whipped cream.

It is best when served well-chilled.

NOTE: I use Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
: and JELL-O Lime Flavor Gelatin.
: Crisco Oil is imperative! Other oils cause the cake to fall.

Sounds tasty, Wayne Well, except for the okra, but that's a personal
preference...lol!
The brown rice sounds especially good. I discovered a few years ago that I actually
really prefer brown to white rice in most instances...sushi being the major
exception.

Dinner...I had Greek chicken, pita, a small salad, and a cup of soup.

Okra is one of *those* vegetables that people seem to either love or hate.
You're excused. :-)

I love brown rice. I'm not fond of "delicate" rices. Of the white rices,
I like long, medium, and short grain, stick, and sweet rice. As much as
other people seem to like them, I don't care for basmati or jasmine rice.

> Dinner...I had Greek chicken, pita, a small salad, and a cup of soup.


That sounds delicious! What do you do to make Greek chicken? I have a
Greek spice blend that I often sprinkle liberally on flattened chicken
breasts, then brush on oil and either broil or grill. What kind of soup
did you have?

I posted the recipe I made last night, but don't know if anyone can
see it- no one is thanking me profusely for posting it!! It's
fantastic, so I hope someone will try it, or at least see it- I named
the topic "Your New Favorite Recipe".

Yanno, I am not a fan of jasmine rice either. It's too perfumy tasting to me. I don't
mind basmati occasionally for something like saffron chicken & rice, but I wouldn't
use it for, say, a stir fry accompaniment.

I make a lemon-garlic butter with black pepper that goes under the skin, then the
skin itself is rubbed with a meyer lemon olive oil, and sprinkled with a mix of sea
salt, freshly ground black and white pepper, oregano, and last night at least, a bit
of true lemon (powdered lemon juice). This was roasted on the grill for about 45
minutes for a small-ish bird.

The soup was a simple: chicken stock from the freezer, celery, carrot, onion. Into
this I put meatballs with rice in them. The meatballs are traditionally made with
lamb, but I didn't have any so I used ground beef & chicken mixed. Had good flavor
Just simmered for a while, til the meatballs were done and the rice tender.
