And So It Is

My daughter, aka the Ed, Nikki, etc, would be pleased to know that I slapped open my Cooking Light Annual 2006 Cook Book and proceeded to look for a nice Sunday dinner out of the extraordinaire. Here is what my oldest son, aka Puddy, Pud, Jr, and I came up with.

Cherry Glazed Cornish Game Hens with Sourdough Cherry Stuffing.

It used at least a 3/4 of a round loaf of sourdough bread, cut in small cubes and left to dry on a large baking sheet for the day. Once dry enough, you sauteed some diced onion, celery and carrots in at least 4 tablespoons of butter. Once the mixture had a clear look to it, you added 2 cups of fat free, low sodium chicken broth and at least 2/3 cups of dried cherries and let it simmer for about 2 min. You then add this to the dry bread cubes and toss.

The glaze is simmered on the stovetop and is reduced, using cherry preserves, port wine and diced onion and garlic.

The hens are rinsed, patted dry and stuffed. Roast at 475 for 15 min. Remove from oven and baste the hens with all of the reduced glaze. Roast an additional 35 min at 400 basting every 10 min with the juice stuff from the bottom of the pan.

Yummy! The stuffing was superb and had a sweet tangy taste that I loved.

Oh we also made Nikki's famous lite waffles, check it out at www.honeycuttkitchen.blogspot.com. However, I forgot to add the oil LOL.

On another note, what the fuck is this world coming to when you have a deranged, insane, shithead like whats his name from N. Korea setting off a nuclear bomb.
