Pesto

My daughter requested chicken & dumplings last night for dinner. I made the quick, easy kind. I cooked chicken strips in the oven. Then chopped into pieces. Poured 2 cans of chicken broth, and 1 can of cream of chicken soup into pot. Added the chicken and then let it boil. When it began boiling, I added 2 cans of flaky biscuits which I pulled apart and dropped into the boiling liquids. Salt and pepper to taste. We had peas also. It was delicious.

Jamie had given me a big tub full of dutch iris yesterday. I planted them beside my bird fountain. Finally, again, pulled up the vine which climbs from the ground, across my fence, and up my pear tree. Many a pears fell down as the tree was shaking. Was able to prune the pear tree somewhat, and the surrounding trees which were intertwining with the pear tree. Gathered up the pears off the ground and more pears off the tree which were ready to be plucked. There were alot of them!

This morning, again, I brought some more pears to work. This time I gave the bag to Tammy. When I arrived at my office, I found 2 more containers of pesto which she had made from her garden, laying on my desk. For lunch, I brought leftover chicken & dumplings. I added some pesto to it and decided it was better that way. The aroma which spread throughout the office was amazing!
