So I am sitting here watching Nine while I blog, and I have to say that infidelity seems oh so exhausting. Daniel Day Lewis is having panic attacks and smoking himself into lung cancer just to cope with his own sex life. Now, if it makes things any better, one of the characters is his mother and another is his 70 year old seamstress. Daniel Day Lewis's character is only involved
with 7 women if that makes it better. On the upside, Daniel Day Lewis is more attractive in Nine than in There Will Be Blood.
I am also training without a race. I am following my routine, and I fully plan to get back on the bike on Thursday. Generally, however, I am just working out and tooling along without any ideas as to the next thing. I need a plan.
Anyway, at home today, we were up early, and Ivan and I got out for a run in the jog stroller. My husband is making fantastic coffee and I had way to much. I got in a yoga session, whipped up some chicken marbella and made a run into work. Now it is a huge recipe, but I made the whole thing and I am going to send some to a friend for dinner and freeze the rest of the portions for later dinners. Recipe as follows:
- 12 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup oregano
- head of garlic peeled and pureed
- sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup pitted prunes
- 1 cup while wine
- 1/2 cup pitted Spanish green olives
- 1/2 cup capers with a bit of juice
- 6 bay leaves
- 1 cup brown sugar
- chopped fresh Italian parsely
Mix all the middle ingredients and pour them over the chicken breasts to marinate overnight. The following night for dinner, you can cook the breasts in the marinade at 350 degrees for around an hour. Serve sprinkled with the parsley.
