Grrrrrrrrr! Damn Aggies!

Thi morning Makenzie and I went on a 1 hour walk around the neighborhood. We love to walk outside.


What we don't love is when we have to get off the sidewalk and into the street because people block the sidewalks.


This house did it too! Both homes had Texas AM paraphernalia.


But in the end we still love our walks!

Mango Slaw

  • 1/2 cup(s) diced mango
  • 2 large jalapeƱos, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoon(s) white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon(s) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon(s) water
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 cup(s) mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup(s) chopped cilantro
  • 2 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 7 cup(s) shredded coleslaw mix

Chicken Cones

  • 3 cup(s) cornflakes
  • 6 tablespoon(s) slivered almonds
  • 6 tablespoon(s) sesame seeds
  • 6 tablespoon(s) sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) crushed red pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup(s) milk
  • All-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 6 (5-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced lengthwise 1-inch thick
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 6 10-inch flour tortillas, warmed

Directions

  1. Make the mango slaw: In a saucepan, combine the mango, jalapeƱos, vinegar, sugar, water, and shallot. Cover and simmer until the mango is softened, 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer the mango mixture to a food processor and puree; scrape into a large bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Make the cones: Wipe out the food processor. Add the cornflakes, almonds, sesame seeds, sugar, red pepper, and salt and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a large, shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Fill a third shallow bowl with flour. Dredge the chicken strips in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them in the eggs, then roll them in the cornflake mixture.
  4. Set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil. Working in batches, fry the chicken over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden brown, 6 minutes; transfer to the rack. Set the fried chicken on the tortillas and top with the mango slaw. Roll up and eat right away.


GOOD LUCK! Let me know if you try it and if so, how you liked it!

Bottles Bottles Everywhere!

I feel like I make bottles ALL day long.


It's quite the process around here. Wash...dry...fill again!


I'm going to become a better blogger again. Working nights is going to give me some extra time to blog :0)
