She Wore Lemon...

Lemon update: last night I made lemon pecan chicken (recipe to follow later) and lemon pudding cake. Not my usual recipe for lemon pudding cake, but this one. Also, we had a nice salad and some rice. It was a great dinner!

A friend from college is here visiting for the weekend. Don and I have known each other since 1988 or so, when we began living next door to each other in the dorm. Now she lives in LA, but she travels out this way for work sometimes, and stops in to see us when she can. She and I cooked dinner together last night, and it was such fun! Marty does not enjoy cooking, much, and I forget how much I like cooking with someone else sometimes.

The chicken up above was a Christmas present from my mom. It's an egg cooker! You can cook hard boiled, soft boiled, or poached eggs in it. Last night we used it for the first time when we boiled some eggs to go on our salad. The funniest thing about the chicken is that it "chirps" when the eggs are done. Anyway the eggs were perfect, although the concept of an egg-cooking chicken seems kind of cannibalistic to me.

Here's a picture of the dinner from last night. I'll put up the recipes when I have a chance.
