Dinner went well.  Miss M joined us.  I figured I haven't made this in about 18 Christmas Eves.  That was when Miss K asked if we could eat something different since curry is so spicy.  Now we usually have Wednesday's dinner.  It's kind of ironic that I have them so close together in the meal plan.  I made Curried Rice with Golden Raisins to go with.  It was so yummy.  I packed up our dinners like normal, labeled them and they are waiting in the freezer for the 13th. 

 Friday's recipe is Turkey a la king.  This recipe almost seems like cheating because it uses soup, but sometime you just need convenience.

Chicken A La King Supreme

1 T. oil
2 ribs celery, diced
1 can cream of onion soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 soup cans milk
2 c. diced cooked chicken*
1 c. frozen peas, if desired

In a large saucepan, heat oil.  Add the celery to  the pan., cooking unitl transparent, but not brown.  Add the soups, stirring to combine with the celery.  Gradually add the milk. Stir constantly until thickened and well mixed.  Add the chicken and peas.  Heat until the meat is heated through and the peas are hot.  Serve over hot cooked rice or noodles.  Serves 6.

*Turkey also works well in this recipe.

I have also been known to swap the cream of onion soup for cream of celery soup.  If I do this, I add a diced onion to the recipe for flavor.

Tomorrow we go out with friends so our bonus dinners become lunch for Miss M and I.  :)  Yum!  Spaghetti for lunch!
