<p>This dude here is my wolf.  Surprised right?  &#8211; that I could choose a fairy tale with a wolf character in it?  I mean, it&#8217;s not as if you couldn&#8217;t toss a rock in the land of fairy tales and hit a story with a wolf in it.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope I hope I hope I get into it.  I&#8217;m tired of all this success publishing articles and chapters professionally as a librarian.  I want some success publishing as a comicker!  I&#8217;m just kidding, I&#8217;m not tired of professional publishing success, but I do want some art/comicking/novelist publishing success too.</p>
<p>So, keep your fingers crossed for me!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1336" title="chickencake" src="http://www.theleemsmachine.com/bean/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chickencake.jpg" alt="" width="358" height="421" />Ok, the challenge was:  a variety of chicken things from various dinner stops at the Fresh Market.  That is, LEFTOVERS.  And I hate it when food goes to waste, I mean really.  People make fun of me for how upset I get when food is wasted in my house.</p>
<p>So there was chicken from inside a chicken Ceasar wrap, market chicken salad (really nice big pieces of chicken without much goop), and chopped chicken liver.  There were also some eggs to be used and a half bag of frozen homemade stuffing in the freezer from previous left overs. (the stuffing was crazy heavy on carrots and celery which is the reason for the picture)</p>
<p>The solution:  mix it all up into a big chicken parts stuffing cake and EAT IT.  And serve it to others to eat.  Mix it is what I did, in a big old bowl and used the eggs for binder before spooning it into a greased casserole dish. Then I topped with some seasoned bread crumbs and baked at 350 until I smelled all the ingredients and the bread crumbs were browned.</p>
<p>Verdict:  success!  it was well received and loved &#8211; enough to get its own name and maybe be repeated again.  But honestly, how often am I going to have frozen leftover stuffing, chicken salad, chicken bits, and chicken liver on hand to make it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, so I had too much yogurt &#8211; at least I thought I did, though the other inhabitants of my house assured me it&#8217;d get eaten before it went bad.  Yeah, ok.  The challenge was something savory for dinner that used the yogurt along with some of the other things in the house.  The solution (hypothesized) was a recipe-less <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CHYQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FPalak_paneer&amp;ei=Z1WxT5WCD4Si9QSltrn-CA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHo35NXquu1Tb9ilknNV0VN1PuTrQ">palak paneer</a>.  That&#8217;s cheesy spinach curry for those of you who have never had the awesomeness.</p>
<p>So, I put a little less than half a big tub of greek yogurt into a pot with two cans of spinach some curry, some extra cumin and garlic salt, and then, later in the cooking, some cubes of feta cheese (most definitely not the usual palak paneer cheese).</p>
<p>The result&#8230;DUN DUN DUN&#8230; was that it was &#8216;not overly spiced&#8217; which resulted in a very &#8216;strong spinach flavor.&#8217;  But then he hadn&#8217;t gotten to the cheese yet.  And it looked just like the real thing.  Yay, yogurt used and a bit of left-overs that I am more than happy to eat &#8217;cause I liked it.</p>
<p>Eaten along side brown rice and fried eggs.</p>
