    Prisoner of Tehran: A Memoir

    Sunday evening the youth group enjoyed a hayride and progressive supper. It was a beautiful evening, with an almost full moon, even though it did get a bit chilly.

    We started off at our house.

    Then we went to Krista and Gerald's where they had cheese ball and crackers. From there to Ben Shirks for salad.

    After that we headed to Omar Stoltzfus's where we had lasagna and bread.

    One way to get off a loaded wagon quickly is to just scoot up over the side.

    Then we headed back to our place for dessert, coffee and hot chocolate. A good ending to a fun evening.

  • Recipe for the Week

    On Saturday evenings I always make pizza for supper. Since I make it every week, I like to try new pizza recipes, to give us some variation. Recently I found this recipe for hot wing pizza. and we really liked it. I did do a bit of substuting, but it still turned out yummy. The recipe is from the April/May issue of TOH.

    Hot Wing Pizza

    2 or 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
    1 T. steak seasoning (I used hamburger seasoning, because that's what I had)
    1/2 cup tomato sauce
    2 T. butter
    2 T. Louisiana-style hot sauce
    1 T. hot pepper sauce
    1/3 cup blue cheese dressing (I used ranch because I don't buy bleu cheese!)
    3 green onions, thinly sliced ( I use regular onions)
    1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    pizza dough for one 12 inch pizza

    Dice chicken into small pieces, sprinkle with steak seasoning and saute until browned, and chicken is cooked through. I also sprinkle it with alittle bit of salt.

    Photobucket In a small saucepan bring the tomto sauce, butter, hot sauce and pepper sauce to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered fpr 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened. Add chicken; heat through. The first time I made it I used this sauce, but since I generally don't buy tomtato sauce, I decided the next time I would just add some spaghetti sauce and buffalo wing sauce to the chicken, and we liked that just as well.

    Press pizza dough out onto pan. I use the same one that I use for my Italian Bread Wedges.http://ilovecooking.xanga.com/580127925/recipe-of-the-week/

    Photobucket Spread with salad dressing.Photobucket Top with chicken mixture. Photobucket

    (Tonight we all agreed that I should have put more sauce on the chicken, it needed a bit more of the hot wing flavor.)
    Sprinkle with onions and cheese. I only put onions on about a quarter of it, as some people in this household have an aversion to them.

    Photobucket Bake at 425 for 12 minutes. Photobucket Photobucket

    Enjoy!

    I Love your receipes and they fondly bring back memories of your mother and "days gone by" for me. I remember so well how we would all get together when the trio (dads) would practice singing--or maybe you were too young??? My dad recently made a audio recording of the trio during a practice--and
