Thanks for all the good wishes, they must be working, because B”H I am starting to feel like a human being again. I have had a hard winter, for some reason, but B”H am finally on the mend, and let it be a kapara.
SJS, when I am feeling a little better, I promise bli neder to find my creamed chicken recipe for you. You use the Pepperidge Farm pastry Cups, bake them as directed, remove the tops with fork tines, scoop out a little of the insides and then stuff with the chicken mixture. It’s made with some cooked chicken, chicken broth, white wine or cooking sherry, frozen peas,canned mushrooms (optional, but I like it), salt, pepper, pareve creamer, and flour. I don’t remember the exact proportions, but when I can find the cookbook with the recipe, I’ll print it for you. It is a HUGE hit at my Shabbos and Yom Tov table. You can also use flaked canned salmon, rather than chicken, if you like.
I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful freilichen Purim. B”H, except for a fireworks incident at midnight (and another neighbor complained this time, because it scared their little kids), it was relatively quiet. The Yeshivah recently did some renovations, including a large gym/party room, so I guess the boys spent the majority of the evening there. Enjoy your respective Seudos, and may we be zochim to celebrate the next Purim as our only remaining chag, b’zman Bayis Shlishi.
