First Saturday Sibling Dinner

Tonight we had dinner together and it was fun! Here's what happened:

Danny and I cooked Piatza Chicken, real mashed potatoes (from a package), green beans, and Danny's Mom's delicious Caramel Brownies.

Here's how:

Step 1: Call mom and find out the recipe for Caramel Brownies

Brownies
preheat oven to 350 degrees
3/4 cup cocoa
2/3 cup veg. oil
2 cups sugar
4 beaten eggs
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup nuts

Combine dry ingredients, add wet ingredients. Mix well.

Bake 25-35 minutes
(better undercooked)


Caramel Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar

Melt butter and brown sugar
Boil 2 minutes
Stir in milk
Bring to boil
Remove from heat
Cool
Beat in powdered sugar (in ice [optional])

Meanwhile...

Step 2: Piatza Chicken

boneless chicken breasts
olive oil
breadcrumbs
Either lemon pepper or garlic salt

Defrost the chicken breasts.
Cut diagonal slits in the chicken to desired thinness. (Use a meat tenderizer if you want extra thin slices).










Put chicken in plastic bag. Add 1/2 cup olive oil. Close the bag, and shake until chicken is coated in the oil.










On a plate, mix 1/2 cup breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon of either garlic salt or lemon pepper. Coat chicken in breadcrumb mixture. Place on non-greased foil-covered baking sheet. Add more breadcrumb mixture as needed.










Broil for 3-5 minutes on each side. Serve hot.

Step 3: Side Dishes

Steam cook green beans. Follow directions for the real potatoes.










Step 4: Eat and talk!




Tonight we discussed how the apple pies at McDonald's are rumored to be potatoes, how people who watch Jerry McGuire are sinners (especially Liel!), Mormon Art Philosophy, and how this photo could be an advertisement for the pitcher.








Step 5: Watch Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service (I rate this movie five ***** stars.)

Step 6: Eat Caramel Brownies!



















That's all, until next week!!!!
