Stop! Challenge tlme!

So, Sunday night is crockpot night for us Crockpot Challengers. This week I made Chicken Marsala, from flickrite and Challenger JulieJordanScott’s recipe. Delish.

I chose Chicken Marsala because I remember having it at my senior Prom, at the totally fancy Union Ballroom in the student union at Bowling Green State University. At least, I think it was senior prom. Could have been junior prom, come to think of it. That was the year I went stag with my similarly un-boyfriended girlfriends. I wore a thigh-length black dress with white lace around the super-high neckline and my hair flipped out like Patty Duke. Senior year I wore floor-length satin the exact color of lime Kool-aid and an inexpertly constructed French twist.

You know what else was weird? Theme for prom senior year was Star Wars. I remember this because I was in charge of designing the after prom t-shirts. I think it was the first and last time prom’s theme was neither a Grateful Dead song nor a Dave Matthews Band one.

Anyway. That was your tangential treat for this week, my Prom reminiscences. My point: Chicken. Marsala. Good. Changes to the recipe include using cream of celery and cream of chicken soups instead of cream of mushroom, because Iain’s hatred of mushrooms is jumbo-sized and prohibitive. I served it over good ol’ egg noodles with a side of beans. I had seconds. That’s all you need to know.
