WICKED!
The best part: I went to see my first ever show of the broadway musical WICKED. INCREDIBLE!!! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, loving the characters and the story line, and especially the music. It's a spin off the classic Wizard of Oz. A very clever tale of Glinda the "good witch" and the "wicked witch of the west", Elphaba.
Amazing. Fantastic. Brilliant.
I think this one has moved up to the top of my list of favorites, everyone. It's official.

Welcome to my breakfast
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
a Real Simple dinner.
There are a lot of ingredients, but most I already had lying around. Went to Whole Foods to pick up some fresh veggies and had some chicken in my freezer I laid out in the am to defrost. I followed the recipe pretty accurately (not super confident with my cooking skills yet), and the dish came out great and is definitely something I will make again.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced into rings
1 green pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces (15 medium) button mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
Served over: egg noodles
