That’s what a lot of us gonna look like once we’re released. 40+ days, no barbers, stylist or beauticians. Picket, Gordon, Bardwell, Wilson, Hall, and others will probably be fine and looking quite dapper as always.
Any of you “Children of the 80’s” have this go through your head — M, M, MY CORONA….
Seems a little more to this Corona thing than last I typed. Thank you for social distancing !!!! I’ll be sure to virus check all your replies — though that’s not likely necessary.
A recipe for all you shut ins:
Kev’s Chicken and Pasta Deliciousness
1/2 to 3/4 pound of Bacon
1 Large Onion (Texas 1015 or Vidalias — very good)
1 Large Chicken Breast
2 Cans Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles
1 pound package of Penne or Bowtie pasta
8 oz. Mozarella shredded
I use a 12 inch iron skillet for this. Takes nearly an hour to prepare but well worth it.
Start your pasta water and boil the whole box.
Start by cutting your bacon in thirds lengthwise then 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces crosswise. Add a touch of olive oil to skillet and render bacon until crisp. Remove into bowl leaving bacon grease in skillet.
Cut onion in half (stem to stem) and then into slivers lengthwise. (you can do this while the bacon starts cooking). Add to bacon grease and caramelize until delicious brown. Remove and add to bowl with Bacon.
Sear chicken in the Onion infused bacon grease. Pour settled liquid infusion from Bowl into skillet. If large chicken breast, butterfly or otherwise slice to smaller/thinner widths. Once seared on each sided remove and slice into bite size pieces and return to skillet to finish cooking.
Once chicken fully cooked, empty bacon and onion bowl into skillet. Toss and stir in for a minute then add 2 cans of Red Gold. Stir in and generously top with Black Pepper.
Drain pasta. Fold in pasta with chicken mixture. It’s easier to remove chicken mixture and combine with pasta in separate pan. Fold in to equally distribute.
At this point you can go casserole pan or return to the iron skillet. Using a bowl, scoop about a 1/3 in to the skillet top with cheese. Repeat 2 times, make sure you leave plenty of cheese for the top. Broil until brown. Remove and serve.

… and the home of the Brave… You missed the National Anthem while reading a recipe…
Well, life as a shut-in has created quite the busy schedule. Was burning a tree stump until the Governor declared a statewide burn ban. Water heater went out so had to get and install a new one — did have to hire some muscle to transport new up and old into and out of the attic. Mowed the lawn, and familiarize myself with daytime TV. Figured out how to share screen from phone to project Sunday service onto the TV.
As engaging as that all is, we have a couple of Engagements to announce, one I missed before and one from just a few days ago.
