THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE VETERANS
Our neighbor with the cows has this sign on his fence.
If you like to cook, travel, BBQ, philosophize, or seriously lay around, then stop by and visit awhile.
We started our final day in Hartington by going early to the cafĂ© so Kathy could make us a delicious good-by breakfast then it was a 10½ hour drive to MT Vernon, IL via NE-57 & 59, US-20, I-29, I-70, & I-64. The roads were all decent to excellent with lots of improvements being made and the traffic wasn’t bad until we managed to hit St. Louis at 5pm.
The terrain really
varied from tabletop flat to pretty rolling along US-20 and we saw plenty of
crop harvesting going on as evidenced by the big cloud of dust that the
combines generated.
When I saw this recipe for Parmesan Chicken from Longhorn Steakhouse on the “Then And Now” blog, it called my name so on the cook soon list it went. The blog describes it as “A delicious and crispy chicken dish inspired by Longhorn Steakhouse, featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a Parmesan crust and topped with a melted blend of mozzarella and garlic. Perfect for a comforting and flavorful dinner.” I followed the recipe except I used shredded cheddar & buttermilk and I increased it by 50% to get the one below.
