July Recipes - Day 4 - Sue's Chicken Pie

Got this one from my mother-in-law. It's quick and very easy.

Chicken Pie

3 lb. Fryer
1 can cream of chicken soup
½ t. black pepper
1 c. regular milk (you can use buttermilk instead)
2 c. reserved chicken broth
1 c. self-rising flour
1 t. salt
Cook chicken until done. Remove from bones and reserve broth. Place meat, cut into small pieces in a 13x9x2 pan and sprinkle celery seeds over the chicken. Mix undiluted soup and reserved broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. In a bowl, mix flour, pepper, and milk. You may also put a few tablespoons of broth into this mix. Mix well to form batter. Pour broth mixture over chicken. Spoon batter over top. Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

14/100 Things: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy by Douglas Adams

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is probably the funniest thing I have ever read. Hands down! There are five books in the trilogy:
1. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
2. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
3. Life, the Universe and Everything
4. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
5. Mostly Harmless

In these books we learn what is important when one travels the galaxy. First and foremost is that you should always take a towel. You never know when you'll need it. And of course, The Guide. The books are peopled with such unforgettable characters as Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox and the lovely Trillian. We meet the most boring species in the galaxy: the Vogons, the best drink in the galaxy: the pangalactic gargleblaster and of course the answer to question of Life, the Universe and Everything: 42.

We meet aliens and robots and even get to visit the Restaurant at the End of the Universe where diners can see the universe end nightly.

I found the whole series great fun and many giggles. In the world we live in, giggles are very important.

Don't forget your babelfish!
