I am looking for some new and interesting topics to write about here, that are related to family cooking. I hope to catch up some on my articles this summer and provide some new recipes and information. If you have a particular topic you would like me to write about here that is related to family cooking, please leave a comment and I will take all suggestions into consideration.

I hope that everyone who has visited has enjoyed what I have written and shared so far and I hope you will visit me at my website as well. I have a message board there so you can still comment or ask questions (and I do appreciate that sort of feedback).

I am going to leave you with a couple of recipes I have collected recently.

Leanne Ely's Rubber Chicken - Serves 4 for 3 days

* 1 chicken -- washed and patted dry (get a nice sized one)
* 1/2 celery rib -- cut in pieces
* 1 onion -- quartered
* 1 carrot -- cut in 2" pieces
* salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Day One: The adventure begins--Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In the cavity of the chicken, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and place cut up vegetables inside. Sprinkle the outside with salt and pepper and a little garlic powder, too, if you like. Cook for about an hour or longer (depending on the size of the bird) till the juices run clear. Let sit a minute and then remove the vegetables. In the meantime, if you were smart, you boiled the neck with some celery, onion and carrot and have that broth, too. To further cut down on the grease from the chicken, you could take the cooking juices and put them in a cup and refrigerate while you make the rest of the meal. This will get rid of a significant amount of chicken fat which will all rise to the top. Make a nice gravy by deglazing the pan with a little water and thicken it up with a flour/water mixture (about a tablespoon should do) Serve your wonderful chicken with Just Like Mama's Mashed Potatoes and lots and lots of veggies. Remember, you want leftover chicken.

Day Two: Let the adventure continue! Take your time and pull every last itty bitty bit of chicken of them bones. You want that chicken skeleton to look like a science project. Toss the chicken in pot with a can of black beans and season with a little cumin, some garlic powder and serve it up with lots of salsa, tortillas, some cheese--whatever turns your key! A great big salad will give you a perfect dinner.
