You're welcome. I'm in the mood for easy and something slightly spicy.
This time of year I'm pretty much stuck indoors due to high temps and
high humidity. I did sit outside yesterday afternoon, reading, once the
patio was shaded. There was a nice breeze so it didn't feel like it was
97F. And the humidity was low, which is definitely different for July
in in South Carolina.

Typical for this time of year, thunderstorms blew through last night.
Kaboom! This morning it's hot, sticky and humid again.

An easy skillet dinner like this fits in perfectly for my dinner plans.
