When I am an Old Lady, I will...

 

• Live within walking distance of Erika S.'s front porch
• Finally make a living baking cookies
• Have as many cats as my backyard can accommodate and my neighbors can tolerate
• Make sure to still travel some place fabulous every year
• Finally dye my hair blue
• Have a large enough place that I can invite as many friends from far flung places as possible to come stay with us
• Never get up earlier than 7 a.m. again
• Eat dessert first
• Have a kitchen garden

When you are a little old person, what will YOU do?

 

Ranch Chicken Marinade

This recipe was inspired by my colleague sharing this recipe for Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kebabs. My version is pared back to a quantity suitable for dinner for two, and to reflect that rosemary is not a favorite herb in this household.

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
splash of lemon juice
splash of red wine zinfandel vinegar
two twists of pepper from the pepper mill
1/2 tsp sugar
1 large boneless skinless chicken breast (a little over 1 lb) chopped into small chunks

Combine all but the chicken in a small bowl and whisk together until combined. Let stand 5 min while you chop up the chicken. Place chopped chicken in a ziploc bag, and pour marinade over the top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to cooking chicken by your preferred method.
