Tonight's supper
Sally Wallace
tonight. It's an old favorite, from _Southern Sideboards_, the Jackson, MS
Junior League cookbook, now out of print. Wish I could remember the name
given in the cookbook, but I just call it
Almond Chicken with Rice
6 half chicken breasts
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup oleo
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 ( 3 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
Juice of one lemon
1/4 cup sherry
1 cup raw rice, cooked
Skin and debone chicken. Cut meat into large pieces. Place in baking dish
and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Brown almonds in oleo. Remove almonds, and in the same skillet, saute
onion and drained mushrooms. Add lemon juice, sherry, and almonds,
stirring well.
Spoon mixture over chicken pieces. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour and 15
minutes at 350 degrees.
Spoon rice on serving platter and place chicken on top. Garnish with
parsley.

to lightly brown the chicken.
Those local cookbooks can really provide some good eating. I have one
entitled "Southern Cooking Ripley Style", from Ripley, MS that I use
often...

The recipe sounds good, Sally! And what happened to our Spring weather,
anyway? I'm tired of all this rain and am pretty sure that's why I'm still
sick!
'Local cookbooks', as Bruce refers to them, are always a good thing. I
don't travel much anymore but when I do I try to stop into area book stores
or gift shops and pick them up. They often have the best recipes in them.

ROFL!! Maybe Dave will decide to mildew instead... Remember when he had
brown hair? Uh oh, showing my age. That was 20 years ago ;-)
News: a sparrow has decided to take up housekeeping in my grapevine wreath
on the front door. I'm going to have to take the wreath down, since my
efforts at removing this 'housekeeping' have been foiled at every turn. I
know the poor bird just wants to get out of the rain but I can't have a bird
living on my front door!
