Tasty Tuesday–Rosemary Lime Chicken

Time for a new recipe! I made this a few weeks ago, and it was an even bigger hit than chicken piccata, which everybody here loves, so it’s definitely going in the permanent collection!

  • 2-3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin medallions
  • Salt and pepper
  • Flour for dredging
  • 4 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 2 limes, thinly sliced
  • 3 Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 Tbsp. capers

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in flour. Heat large skillet over medium and melt 2 Tbsp. butter with 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Pan fry chicken until brown and cooked through, about three to four minutes per side, and keep warm. Replace butter and olive oil about halfway through, and finish cooking chicken.

After all the chicken is cooked, deglaze pan with wine. Add lime juice, lime slices, rosemary, capers, and salt and pepper, and simmer for several minutes. Pour over chicken and serve with rice.

Penguin Wedding Party

On Wednesday, I shared pictures of Roald and Aurora’s wedding in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Today, I’m taking a look at their wedding reception in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp! I love everything from this most recent event, from the head table to the band set-up, and everything in between!

The Wedding of Roald and Aurora

Possibly my favorite part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons so far has been the fact that I was able to stage a wedding for Roald and Aurora, complete with proper attire, decorations and a wedding cake!

Quote of the Day

This pretty much sums up how I feel as high school for Moose is “getting big in the window.” This transition was never going to be easy, but between not having the preparation at the end of 8th grade (including at least one trip with his class to visit the high school during a school day), that he was supposed to, and not being able to visit the high school multiple times over the summer like we had planned, I feel like we need something, anything, at this point, other than a vague, “We’re planning on face-to-face instruction as scheduled, maybe with masks required, but we’ll let you know later.”

Uh, Houston, we… we… we just can’t just throw this together at the last minute. So here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna get the procedure up to us, whatever it is, and we’re gonna go over it step by step so that there’s no foul-ups. I don’t have to tell you we’re all a little tired up here. The world’s getting awfully big in the window. Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell in Apollo 13

Quote of the Day

Bunny and I watched Mean Girls last night. I might have seen it once before, but I can’t remember for sure, so it was like we were both seeing it for the first time. We really liked it! I thought this quote, in particular, summed up high school pretty well:

“The weird thing about hanging out with Regina was that I could hate her, and at the same time, I still wanted her to like me.” Lindsay Lohan as Cady Heron in Mean Girls
