The chicken marsala is a repeat, for sure! I really liked it and itwas obvious that Andy and each of the kids did too! I have never made this before so I decided to stick to the recipe closely, maybe more closely than I ever have. I think next time I will use the same amount of liquid but less bouillon and not quite as much salt on the chicken, I felt like the sauce was a bit too salty (Andy did not). I tried the linguine trick that Stacy suggested and I really like that, it's hard to know exactly when to transfer the pasta from water to sauce but I think I managed. Next time I will not simmer quite so much down, it wasn't as saucy as we would have liked. I have concluded something that I have always known subconsciously... I LOVE the smell of butter, onions, salt and pepper sauteing in the pan! Oh my gosh it is absolutely euphoric! I am loving new recipes to try out so often and it is even more fun to know that my friends are experiencing the same ones at the same time. I have realized, however, I am so excited and focused on the new recipe that any side dish is totally an after-thought! Luckily tonight I had some salad greens already washed and prepared so I just threw them into a bowl, otherwise we would have had to consider the mushrooms our veggie! FOUR THUMBS UP!!!
