Chicken Fingers with a Twist !! - 07/15/08 08:48 AM
I made this up the other evening and it turned out great...
I made an egg and milk wash, dipped chicken strips in the wash and then coated with a mixture of seasoned bread crumbs and dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (I bought it at Sam's Club) 
I fried the chicken strips in canola oil.
I then made the Ranch dressing according to the directions on the container and served it for dipping, they were easy and they were a favorite, especially with the kids...
Try it, you'll like it...

Dutchess County Fairgrounds, here I come...Big weekend plans - 07/03/08 10:30 AM

I downloaded this poster from the website.  What fun this will be.  I am hoping to make the concert tomorrow evening.  I'm afraid that I could not find admission prices to include in this post except for Sunday's Freedom Fest will be $25.  Maybe the other events are free, not sure!! 
Anyway, looks like great fun.  The HV Philharmonic is wonderful and to have fireworks with it sounds really great...
