A Heavenly Meal

Okay folks, I promised you a menu from last night’s dinner and here it is:

Chicken Breasts in Sour Cream Sauce over Rice1
Broccoli Casserole2
Curried Fruit3
Yeast Rolls4
Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes5

As an Appetizer, we had a very simple Port Wine Cheese Ball with Wheat Thins nothing fancy but the conversation with local wine.

Since we are not big wine drinkers, the wines were a Biltmore Estate, American Merlot, and a Corbett Canyon, a California White Zinfandel. Both wines relatively inexpensive but extremely good and American made.

The wife is Paula Dean’s biggest fan and I admit her recipes are simply out-of-this world. Last night’s meal was easy and delicious but elegant at the same time. Freshly brewed Folgers coffee along with a slice of a Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake topped with sweet whipped cream for desert was a dream come true.

If anyone needs a recipe, drop me an e-mail and I’ll shoot it right back to you. As I said before, it was truly a meal to die for.

See you soon…
