Welcome to another installment of What Recipe Did I Butcher This Week. This week's recipe comes courtesy of the Taste of Home Magazine. Five or so years ago, my grandma gave all the married grandkids a subscription to the magazine for Christmas and then she renews it for us every year. It's the gift that keeps giving, all year long.
2 cups penne pasta, uncooked
1/4 lb boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1/2 c chopped onions
1 T olive oil
1 pkg (6 oz) snow peas
1 small red pepper, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
2 T butter
1 T flour
1 1/2 c milk
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
1/2 c grated romano cheese
Cook pasta according to the directions. Meanwhile cook chicken and onions in olive oil in large skillet for 6-8 minutes or until chicken is done. (Omitted this step). Add snow peas, red pepper and garlic. Cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Melt butter in medium saucepan. Stir in flour until well blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Add cream cheese and grated cheese. Cook 1-2 minutes until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring constantly.
Drain pasta; place in large bowl. Add chicken mixture and sauce. Toss to coat.
This turned out really good. Wade thought the sauce was a little thick, but that was because it wasn't thickening up fast enough for me so I might've put more flour in there. And then you can probably guess what happened. I was too lazy to go find the chicken and defrost it, so I just omitted the chicken from the meal. And wal-mart was out of onions (I know!) the other day, so I didn't have one. Other than that, I stayed pretty much on course. Quick and easy meal.

Random Ramblings
- I ran a 5k on Saturday. This 5k to be exact. And I'm proud to say that I am closing the gap between the winner (14:23 this year) and myself. Last year, I came in at a respectable (I did just have a baby 3 months prior) time of 31:23. This year, 25:12 people! I cut off six minutes--which is like 2 minutes per mile. I may never reach this potential again, but man, it felt good to be so close to 25 minutes.
- We had a surprise birthday party for my mom's
60th25th birthday on Saturday. We held it at Hires--coincidently, the same place we've held EVERY surprise party for the last decade (upwards of 5, if you're counting). It's gotten to the point that if you're ever led to the restaurant around the time of a major milestone, you can bet that a bunch of people are waiting for you in the banquet area. - We inadvertently forgot to invite my mom's BFF of 30 some-odd years. The invitation got lost somewhere or sent to the wrong address. We don't know what happened. Even lamer is we didn't realize it until about 2 pm on Saturday afternoon.
- Have you ever laid in bed and thought "if we were to vanish and the authorities came in to this house at this exact moment, they'd totally think we were kidnapped and all our possessions ransacked"?
- I have an idea for a book--the first new idea I've had in months--and I'm actually really excited about it. It doesn't involve pillaging or oppressing minority groups, so don't look for me on Oprah (besides I'd have to have it out before 2011, when she goes off the air). But maybe Ellen Degeneres will start a book club about funny, quirky books and I'll be on there. Though I've never actually seen an author on her show. So maybe The Today Show. Look for me on The Today Show.
- Love This American Life on NPR. There are some people who believe that NPR is just a radio station for left wingist commie types. But they have some really interesting things. Like This American Life, which has no political agenda. I wish it would air every day and not just once a week. I've learned a lot since I've started downloading them onto my ipod and cleaning the house (see above) while listening.
- Somebody forgot to lock the Joe Biden Enclosure Tank when they started celebrating the passing of an asinine Health Care plan. Did we really vote a man into the highest office of the nation, who's right hand man has to be kept in a holding tank because he makes a stupid remark every time he's let out?
- I have the best sister-in-law, who agreed to take my kids for me so I could take my mom to a nice lunch for her birthday yesterday. Good thing too, because then we were stuck out in Salt Lake for the next four hours due to a brushfire that had closed both roads leading into Tooele County. I would've hated to have gotten a girl from the neighborhood and then had to pay for her for another four or five hours until the road opened. Although Wade did point out that I would've had a very nice afternoon in that circumstance.
- For the record, if Tooele County is ever blocked off from Salt Lake County due to a disaster, I'm just getting on the I-80 West and heading to California. There is one tiny back road that leads out of Tooele County and into Lehi and it's not exactly equipped to deal with an influx of 30,000 people. Lehi's road system isn't equipped either. They can't even adequately control their own population. Note to Lehi's Road Management Team: You're not so little anymore, so stop pretending you are.
- Also for the record, this is the 4th time in the last 10 months that Tooele County has been cut off from Salt Lake County. At least they've gotten a little better at figuring out how to close the roads BEFORE everyone is on them.
- I recently reconnected with a friend from elementary/jr high/high school on Facebook. R. deserves his own blog post in the very near future, but who knew the kid was so funny?
- Aunika is now tall enough to open all the kitchen drawers. This makes life really fun.
- Aunika is also FINALLY walking. It took her 16 months, but she has it down. That makes life fun as well.
- I'm officially old. Who is Justin Bieber?
- I'm also old because now my friends parents are getting sick and passing away.
- I was outside pulling weeds the other day and watched all these people pull up to the neighbors house across the street. She's like a social butterfly, casting her net all over the neighborhood. Which just further solidifies my status as socially inept. Sigh.
- The Wii is the spawn of the devil. It's in perma-time out.

Spiritual Thought Sunday--Simply Put
My parents have almost been married for 40 years. Just this last week, my older brother asked my mom what the best part of the last 40 years have been. She thought about it long and hard and said "the best part of the last 40 years is having babies."
She was quick to point out that it wasn't raising kids, but merely opening your heart to receive little ones into your life; The miracle of life.
My brother then asked what the worse thing has been in the last 40 years. She answered "watching my parents age and die."
The gist--40 years down the line, it's not going to matter how money you made, what kind of house you had, the vacations you took, or the car you drove. Simply put, your best and worst moments will be tied together; welcoming life and saying goodbye.

Retraction
So, I guess I need to make a retraction:
Wade informed me that he wasn't horrible at being a state and county delegate. In fact, he did a pretty good job. He was the one to inform Rob Bishop, US Representative, that he was speaking the next day at the Tooele County Convention. He also spent some time with him on the phone discussing more important matters, including healthcare. He's weighed in on a few town hall meetings via phone and asked some poignant questions. He answered a few phone calls. Wade gave some bigwig (but, obviously not The Big Wig) his ideas for healthcare reform, and the State Legislature started implementing those ideas. Maybe not JUST because of Wade, but he did have a small hand in that.
At the county convention, Wade helped make sure they didn't instigate automatic delegates for Tooele County. He also got to have a one-on-one conversation with Governor Herbert, before he was Guv. They talked about the federal government taking away state rights.
He got to know a lot of the local leaders as well. And he knows all the people who want to run this year and what their platforms are.
Which is probably better than 95% of the voters.
So here's my public apology for saying he was horrible at it because he didn't go to the state convention last year. Or field a bazillion phone calls.
I love you honey. Despite your love affair with politics.

How to Derail a Budding Political Career--Both Ethically and Legally (and without dyeing my hair a funky shade of blue)
Two years ago, Wade visited the Republican Caucus and was inadvertently nominated and voted in as both a county delegate and a state delegate. And that's all cool. Maybe not my cup of tea, but I have my things, Wade has his.
However, the last three or so months have been bordering on intolerable. See, once you're a delegate, your phone line gets inundated with calls from representatives and people hoping to be governor/senator/congressman/city council member. You have surveys and annoying recorded messages about different laws that may or may not be passed based on how you respond to the following three/10/"short survey" questions.
And they only call between 11 am and 3 pm. Which, coincidently, is when Wade is at WORK. And when I am at HOME. But that doesn't matter to the call center because they are only paid to make the phone call. They aren't calling because they're fired up about a particular issue or candidate. They're calling because it's their job. And so the fact that I DON'T CARE about 90% of what they're trying to sell me doesn't mean diddly squat to them because it's a live person and therefore they can cross the Hadlock home off their handy little list.
(Why don't I just hang up? BECAUSE THEY KEEP CALLING!)
(Clearly, I'm still a little pent up about this.)
So, I politely answer their little questions, but I almost always have a 15 month old hanging on my legs and a 4 year old who can hear the phone ring from a thousand miles away and thinks that NOW is the time to ask for a glass of kool-aid/a piece of bread/to play the Wii. And so, my answers are a little skewed. Like "on a scale of 1 - 10, how would you rate {I want Kool-aid. Mom. Kool-aid. Now. Mom. Mom.}". "Uh, a seven." In other words, I'm not sure what I'm rating or why so I'm just throwing out numbers that sound good. In fact, one time I was actually transferred to the House of Representatives main line and I was suppose to ask for {Mom, I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry}. To talk about what, I don't know, but I'm fairly certain he (she?) wasn't in the market to chat up a desperate housewife.
This has been going on for 3 months. Maybe more. And after they analyze the data and send it back to it's respective people, I'm sure they're wondering how Wade ever got voted in as a delegate, he's so all over the map.
Monday was the end of my rope. I fielded 10 (yes 10!) phone calls from various organizations and campaigns reminding us about the Caucus on Tuesday and to lament the recent health care directive that had been passed on Sunday. Hello, newsflash: Monday is AFTER Sunday, so technically aren't we too late to voice our displeasure in an arena to be heard concerning the health care bill?
Anyways, I'd just about had it, with being caretaker of the neighbor's children, and an ornery 16ish month old who is teething, and Lego fights. When Wade walked in at 6:45 on Tuesday night and announced he was headed to the Caucus meeting, I spun around and blurted out:
"Don't you dare come back as a delegate."
I mean, he was horrible at it. He didn't even go to the convention this last year and I've been fielding most of the calls. And really I have only two--maybe three--major political hot buttons; cigarette taxes and public knowledge of who's donating more than 50k to your public university are not them.
So, Wade went. And he was nominated to be state delegate. And he stood up and said something to the affect of: "I won't say no if you vote me in but my wife really doesn't want you to vote for me."
It should be noted that even after that impassioned pleading, out of 12 nominees and 3 open seats to fill, Wade came in 4th. And only because he didn't vote for himself.
However, this might come back to haunt him when he runs for office. Like how his wife hates fielding phone calls and knows next to nothing about politics and refuses to cut her hair into a poli-wife hairdo or wear power suits. She might not even vote for him.
Kidding. Maybe.
But, I'm sure people from Tuesday night will remember the guy who was okay with being state delegate but who's wife wasn't so much on board with the idea.
I think my work here is done.

What's For Dinner Wednesday--Swiss Steak
(Aha! But it's Thursday. And I had every intention of writing this up yesterday, but I was (a) trying to beat the Biggest Loser competitors in a race to bike 26.2 miles (I won by 21 minutes, but no one gave ME $10,000) and (b) when I went to write it up, the man who's political career I may have sank was using the computer and since I had done enough damage for one day, I opted to just read instead.
There's a story there. And it's coming right up. But first, Swiss Steak.)
A few Christmas' ago, I took my mom's yellow cookbook--the one that had all the family favorite recipes in it--and painstakingly typed up each recipe, printed them off on index cards, put them in an album of sorts and presented them to my brothers, my mom and to myself. That way we all had mom's recipes at our disposal. I was surprised to find a few recipes from my grandma. They seemed benign enough, but as I ventured into this week's recipe, I found that wasn't the case. Here is the recipe in all it's glory. I'll interpret it below, and then I'll tell you what I did.
Recipe
Season round steak with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Score steak with a dish before adding flour. Score flour in good. Do this with both sides of steak. Sprinkle paprika on both sides when browning meat. After meat is browned, take from pan. Cut onion fine and sauté in oil. Put steak back in pan. Add water. Do not cover with water. You can add water as you need it. Use one or two bouillon cubes. Mix one at a time in hot water. Taste before you add the second one. These are salty and you could get the gravy too salty. When meat is done, add flour that is mixed with water to juice until you get the thickness you want. Add two or three capfuls of Kitchen Bouquet while cooking steak. Cook in electric frying pan at 230 degrees for 3 hours.
Interpretation
Seasoning the steak is pretty self-explanatory. However, I struggled with the next line: score steak with a dish. For the life of me I could not figure it out and my mom wasn't home to help me. Turning to my trusty internet, I googled scoring meat, and found that it's taking a knife and putting slices in the top of the meat one way and then slicing it the other way so there's a diamond pattern on top. How you do that with a dish I don't know. Scoring the flour in??
Browning the meat was a no brainer. Either was the onion part. I got a little confused with the water and dissolving the bouillon cubes in hot water. Should I dissolve the bouillon cube first and then put in water so it doesn't reach the top of the steaks, or do I add water and then dissolve the bouillon cube in the pan.
Next, when do I add the flour. Is it after the 3 hours or before. When is the meat considered "done"? Where do I find Kitchen Bouquet? Oh...the questions.
What I Did/What I Should've Done
I sprinkled both sides of the steak with the seasonings and then I proceeded to cut my diamond shapes in and shook the steaks in a ziploc bag of flour. However, after talking with my mom (after-the-fact), what grandma meant by scoring the meat with a dish (a presumed typo that was not a typo afterall) is that I should've hammered the meat using my meat tenderizer hammer thingie (I'm sure it has a name). Grandma used a dish to do this. Don't ask, because I'm not sure how either. Then she'd press the flour into the meat with the dish. A hammer thingie would've been useful.
I browned both sides and removed the meat from the pan. Then I chopped up an onion (a REAL onion this time) and sautéed it. However, I should've cut it into rings and not into little pieces. There was a lot of onion.
I added the meat back to the pan and then added water until it was covering just the bottoms of the steaks. I added a bouillon cube right to the pan. After it dissolved, I tasted the gravy and decided to add a second one. Tuesday at the store, I found the Kitchen Bouquet, but now I can't remember exactly where. So I added a few capfuls of that.
I don't own an electric frying pan (though sometimes I wish I did), so I just turned my frying pan on low and covered it with a lid. I didn't cook it for the whole 3 hours either. Maybe an hour and a half.
Overall, it was REALLY good. A little tough since I was suppose to hammer it, but pretty good nonetheless. Next time, I'll take my new interpretations and see if I can get it to look like how my mom use to make it.

What's For Dinner Wednesday--Meatball Chowder
This recipe comes from my mom's cookbook, though I don't actually recall ever eating it growing up. However, she remembers making it, so I'll go with her word. It turned out to be a great, hearty soup, but perhaps better served on a day that wasn't the warmest of the year thus far. Nonetheless, we ate it anyways and we ate it with bread I had gotten from The Mediterranean Market, which produced a story for another day (and a wish for a camera phone because it would've come in handy. Now you're going to have to rely on my adjectives to paint the picture for you).
Meatballs
1 lb Hamburger
1 tsp Season Salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg beaten
1/8 C dried parsley
1/6 C cracker crumbs
1 T milk
I once mentioned that we have switched completely over to ground turkey. However, 100% ground turkey meatballs are kinda gross. Also, I was at my mom's house and decided to make the meatballs earlier so I could just throw them into the soup pot when I got home and she didn't have any ground turkey. So I went with ground beef. Next time, I'm going to try a mixture of both.
Form into balls (about 15. These are BIG meatballs). Roll in flour, brown in 1 T oil.
Note: I baked mine for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. A tad bit healthier and not so greasy. Though I would imagine the fried meatballs would've been tastier. (But the baked ones were still good anyways).
Soup
2-3 Onions
3 C tomato juice
3 beef bouillions
3 C water
1 bay leaf
3-4 carrots
1/2 C diced celery
2-3 C potatoes
1 tsp salt
1 T sugar
Cook for 1 1/4 hours on simmer. Last 10 minutes add mexicorn. (Oops forgot to add the corn. And regular corn is fine). Can cook in a crockpot all day.
