Okay... Food and House news!

First the house. The street numbers are up as is the new porch light. We've got the old back spotlight on the back porch/stairs to work, it's just a question of how long it'll last. If it blows again, I'm replacing it. The spots above the garage doors may be repairable as well. I'll get the numbers on the back of the house sometime this weekend. There will likely be a bit more painting, to deal with the yellowed parts of the windowframes.

As to the food- I made my experimental recipe tonight, and it seems to have worked. Here's what I did:

You need:

2/3 bag of wide egg noodles
1 package of Knorr Chicken gravy (powder- just add water and heat!)
1 package of three boneless chicken breasts, diced
1 red pepper, cut into halved wedges
1 green pepper, cut into halved wedges
Salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash and red (cayenne) pepper powder

prepare the noodles according to the package while you make everything else- this is a pretty fast recipe! Stir-fry the chicken (spiced to taste- for me it was four swirls of salt from a wide salt shaker, 6 shakes of black pepper, two shakes of red pepper) until done, then toss in the pepper-wedges. Prepare the gravy according to the package. When they're done, drain the noodles. Take everything and combine in a large mixing bowl, toss to mix thoroughly, and serve. :)
