Aw, Dimitri, Fifo's just having fun. He's one of my favorite posters
because he's so funny.

Make sure you cut the butter and chill (even freeze it) well before you put
it in the flattened chicken breasts with the garlic and parsley. And roll
the flattented breasts up completely before dredging in the egg wash and
crumbs. You may need to use toothpicks or kitchen string; you don't want
the butter leaking out when you brown the chicken. Thanks for the reminder;
I haven't made this in a long time and it's yummy!

No can do, Jill. We bought them pre-assembled, and they're in the freezer
(the butter is very, very cold). I'm going to have to call the butcher
shop and find out how to cook the things.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll someday become brave enough to try
making them from scratch, all by myself.

I have *no* idea. DH told me to keep Sunday open, he arranged a
sitter, so I have absolutley no idea whatsoever about what he may have
up his sleeve. Surprised the heck out of me - we have been together 7
years, and this is the first time he has ever made plans
all-on-his-own, for V-Day.

I give my hubby a hand and foot massage about once a week. He's a carpenter
and he works so hard he comes home all tired. It's the least I can do. He
enjoys it, it relaxes him and as a result I enjoy giving them to him to see
his reaction.

Oooo...that sounds like fun, Lyn!! Hope you two have a great time!

DH wants me to make Guinness stew for V-day dinner. I wanted to make
something more elaborate and suggested Beef Wellington or Chicken Kiev, but
no, he wants stew. OK... Fine with me.

You *have* been thinking about this for a while, haven't you? <g> Yeah,
I'm working on getting some sort of funds together to redo my kitchen. It
needs a complete overhaul, but we're going to start by getting scrap wood
from my husband's jobsite to at least make and arch out of our severely
rectangled doorway. From there, I'll figure out the rest. It will be a
long, slow, painful process. I will persevere!

This is going to sound all backwards, but ... How about using very, very
pale avocado paint on the walls? Might make the current appliances blend
in a bit more, and not stand out like sore thumbs.

A beef stew made with Guinness as part of the liquid (part beef broth, part
Guinness). Similar to Boeuf Bourguignon, but made with Guinness rather than
Burgundy wine (at least, that's how I make it). I make bread bowls (from
frozen bread dough) and serve the stew in those. A very yummy, homey meal!

You have to endure a *rectangle* for a doorway? Oh, the HORROR! Oh, the
HUMANITY! :-)

Oh, stop! LOL. It's a very WIDE doorway and it's just hideous. It's
screaming to be streamlined. :-). Also, next to it is another 70's-ish
opening in the wall with two wooden dowels. We're going to arch that off
too and make a breakfast nook out of it so we don't have to buy a small
kitchen table.
