When they came here they were paid the same as miners from here, there,
or anywhere. John L. Lewis was from Springfield (founding president of
the United Mine Workers) and Mother Jones is buried in the nearby town
of Mt. Olive, IL

I mostly use honey as my beverage sweetener. And I manage my blood sugar

AFAIAC cold cereal(s) is good only as an ingredient is a recipe. Corn Flakes
or Wheaties crushed for breadini, Rice Crispies for any number of sweet things
and so on. If I'm doing grains for breakfast it will be, most likely, instant
oatmeal - with raisin, date and walnut leading the charge.

Title: Chicken Kiev
Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Breads, Cheese
Yield: 2 Servings
MMMMM-------------------------BUTTER MIX------------------------------
1/2 c Butter
3 cl Garlic; diced
1/4 c Lemon juice
1/2 ts Mixed vegetable seasoning *
MMMMM--------------------------CHICKEN-------------------------------
2 lg Chicken breasts; skinned,
- boned (8 - 10 oz ea)
+=OR=+
4 Chicken thighs; skinned,
- boned (non-traditional
- but tasty)
2 lg Eggs
MMMMM--------------------------BREADING-------------------------------
1/2 c Scallions, diced fine
3 c Corn flakes; crushed
1/2 c Grated Parmesan cheese
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: Cajun Injector
In a fry pan, melt butter and saute garlic with lemon
juice and seasoning.
Using Cajun Injector, inject chicken with butter mix.
(The flavorizer can be purchased many places, including
Farm & Home stores which have a cooking utensil section.
It looks much like the needle a doctor uses for
injections, and its use is also similar.)
Add remaining liquid to eggs and beat. In a separate
bowl, combine scallions, corn flakes & Parmesan cheese.
Dip breasts in egg mixture, then into corn flake mixture.
Bake @ 350oF/175oC for 30 minutes.
* Equal parts of onion granules, parsley flakes, salt,
garlic granules, celery seed, sage, marjoram, thyme,
basil, oregano, black pepper, dill weed, and summer
savory mixed thoroughly and stored in an airtight jar
in the ice box. I make this up in largish batches and
usually have some on hand for a number of dishes. - UDD
