Beans, dip, football and herbs…
February 8, 2010
Saturday night Eric and I weren’t feeling too hungry for dinner since we were snowed in and weren’t to active all day. I made greenbeans amandine again, which I think I added a little too much lemon juice this time, though Eric appreciated it. I like just a little more than what is called for in the recipe.

buffalo chicken dip for the SuperBowl party and leftovers
Last night for the Colts vs Saints Superbowl game, we went to a friend’s place in Fishtown. I made a double recipe of the buffalo chicken dip to bring, and between that and pizza, we had the perfect makings for a Superbowl Sunday!
(Congrats to the Saints!!)
Also It’s been a while since I’ve checked on the Aerogarden, and it’s always a surprise to see how much bigger it was since I last saw! The chives are starting to get out of control, and everything is starting to get pretty big and bushy! *Still* not ready to be used for cooking, but we’re definitely getting close!
Aerogarden around week 5
This coming week will be a busy one, I think tonight will be our only real “down-time.” Tomorrow I’ll be having a few friends over for the evening, and I’ll be making the chicken in a pot again! What a nice and easy thing to make and share ^_^ I might be hunting for a different side dish other than rice and beans… These friends were at the Poconos and had the big chicken kiev dinner! Some variety would be nice!
If you can’t find bread, milk and eggs at the store, it must mean a snow storm is coming.

Weather.com says we're getting snow... 8-12in?!
If you live anywhere from Virginia to the edge of NYC, last night was probably a zoo at the grocery store. A few coworkers of mine were telling me how long (and angry) lines were for parking and checkout lines, stores barely had time to put food out for shoppers, and so many of the shelves were empty.
It’s craziness, people! It’s the northeast, you should be used to a foot of snow being dropped on you, and it’s not that scary! And why go shopping-crazy if no one is going to be able to come out on Superbowl Sunday?
Oh well, I am avoiding the stores for now, will probably will go out Sunday if the snow slows down and it’s clear enough to venture out. Maybe. I’ve been asked for the buffalo chicken dip again, if I do go out! ^_^
For now, we’ve got plenty of the casserole left over, last I saw, and still have greenbeans amandine to make (yum!) and our reserved frozen pizza and pasta meals incase we’re stuck or lazy.
So, my plans are confirmed and in about 3 hours I’ll be on my way to DC for the weekend! But I was asked one thing by Eric, since I have ruined our plans of doing nothing for the first time since October…
Buffalo chicken dip!
Haha, I have made it three times this year already, and it’s about to come to #4… where there’s football there is always room for chicken dip I suppose. So, I’ll be home in about 50 minutes, then it’s a rush to the grocery store (sadly the closest thing is walmart).
I’ve still got to pack.
Should have plenty of time to still make it on the road by 7… right?
Dip recipe next post!
