On Monday night we had a great Chicken dinner, with
rice stuff that you had to stir and stir, I forgot the name of
it but it was a lot of adding broth and stirring.  Good stuff.
The dinner was put on by Pat and Sandy and Judy,
I thought I took pictures of this but can't find them. SCREAM
I do have a recipe that Sandy shared with us as follows:
Pat if you have the recipe of what you made please send to me.
It was really good.  Hey I must be slipping as I don't have pictures
of this Monday night dinner. If anyone has pics of this
please send to me.
