When I was making this I was formulating what I would say in my blog opener about it. I thought about telling a heart warming story about how my Grandpa used to make SOS, aka shit on a shingle, when I was a kid, and how this recipe reminded me of SOS, only it was chicken-shit on a shingle (CSOS?) but then all sorts of things started going wrong. SA decided it was the perfect time to take out the recyclables, our other cat Wall-E attacked the tomatillo plant I got today and then the piece de resistance, our dishwasher started sounding like a dying animal. SHIT SHIT SHIT! It had been such a great day:
 |
| the biggest green apples I have ever seen at a local farmers market |
 |
| beautiful day in the valley! |
 |
| Now you KNOW I bought some of this!!! How could I not |
 |
| Our handsome dog, Curry enjoying the sun(We all got sunburns!) |
All in all though it was still pretty tasty!!!!

| forgive the picture of entree+ sides. SA had already made his plate and so had I so...all of it you get! |
1 Onion chopped
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp Flour
2 Cups diced chicken
2 cups Milk
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
paprika for the dusting
Mashed Potatoes
In a large skillet melt butter and add onions, cooking over medium heat until onions are translucent. Sprinkle with flour and stir in milk. Allow mixture to thicken slightly and stir in diced chicken, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until chicken is cooked through(Mine took about 20 minutes.) Serve over mashed potatoes and sprinkle with paprika for a little extra kick!

Those apples look SO good...and HUGE for this time of year. I'm not used to apples that big until fall. I wouldn't mind having a farmers market to go to that isn't at 8am on a Saturday morning too. I think I might try this recipe too, as I have some chicken in the freezer!
Your dogs name is curry? How interesting.
Curry looks like he is enjoying the sun! So you're going to have to explain to me what "shit on a shingle" actually is. The image I'm getting (and that is after using "shit" as a metaphor for some kind of food) is some kind of beef thingy on a slice of toast. Or chicken. I love grandpas!
I love to shop at Lone Pine and always include Thistledown in the day's stops. It's a shame that your lovely day had to end as it did.Today will be better, promise. Blessings...Mary
Yum! This sounds really tasty. I think your picture looks great.
I hate when I have days like that which I have quite often...lol
I enjoyed reading your post. I was just refreshing and a real day! Things go wrong and it makes one feel we are not alone. The salad sounded just fine even though you say you left things out. The chicken also looks good and comforting. I following your blog and I hope that you will give my blog a visit too and if you would like to, follow it. Blessings, Catherine
Well you still managed to make me laugh! I'm sorry things went so bad all at once - at least there was this decadent chicken to comfort you!
That creamy chicken recipe sounds great with the thyme. I bet a little cayenne would be good, too!
wow those green asparagus!! They look so sexy!
The creamy chicken looks so comforting and delicious.
Oh my gosh that looks good. Anything creamy and served over mashed potatoes are you kidding me? Where is my invite? Yum!!
That is awesome that you grew up eating shit on a shingle! my family made it alot and out hometown diner had it on their menu as well. Soo good! I make it for my husband often, but before then, he had never heard of the famous, "shit on a shingle"!
I tried this and it tasted like pure onions. I'm sorry, it's a no from me.
