Chicken with wine

 

Catching up on some recent meals to post.

An easy recipe for a classic way to prepare chicken. One of the many adaptations of coq au vin. I won’t post the recipe as there are so many variations. Basically a braised chicken with wine.

 

Oriental Style egg drop noodle soup.

Most will say it was a gorgeous day to be outside. I tackled a few technical details indoors, finished tranferring some files from an older computer to a new/old replacement. A Windows 7 upgrade for the wife, it was easier and cost effective to purchase a refurb machine than it would be to buy Windows 7 alone and worry about system requirements.  Very satisfied with what was available for the cost. The computer looked like it had not been touched since manufacture. For the techies ,3 gigahertz processor, 4 gig ram , Windows pro 64 bit, optical drive in a small form factor case. I’m not in the habit of dropping names ,HP Compaq. Tiger direct.

While this was going on made some veggie, chicken stock and utilized for soup.

Stock

Chopped carrot

Chopped onion

Chopped celery

Mushrooms

Rice noodles

Chopped chicken livers, gizzards

Slight dried hot red pepper addition

De canting some of the soup, and stirred in a beaten egg.

Plated with additional soup and toasted spent grain bread.

A good finish to the day.

Addendum: Windows 10 installed flawlessly. Also there is no bloat ware on the computer.
