Amazin'!


There is always an adventure at the Tailwind Ranch. This morning my husband was headed up to the barn and noticed his horse, Cheyenne, swinging around a bag of horse treats. She LOVES treats! The day we went to look at her to buy, she had somehow broken into the barn so she could get some sweet feed. She will do anything for treats so my husband figured she had managed to get the gate open so she could get them.
So he walked over to see which gate she had opened to get into them. As he got closer, he saw that all of the gates were still closed and chained shut. (This is the "amazin'" part) - Inside the closed, locked, gates was our three year old gelding, Sancho Juan Pablo. I've seen him go over a fence, but these gates are too high for him to jump. As Dar started to investigate, he noticed that some dirt had been scratched up in the dirt and that's when he realized Sancho had somehow crawled under the gate and got the treat bag, which he kindly handed off to the rest of his horse buddies! He was happily eatting the from the big hay bales and very proud of himself! There was poop all over the place inside the gate so we assume he spent most of the night in there. Now that is a good friend! - Sneak under the gate and give the treats to the other horses! I'm sure he is the king of the pack now!
Last night for our Bunco party, I ended up making a recipe that I got from my friend, Mindy Speirs because I was afraid I wouldn't have enough food, and it was the hit of the party! So for everyone who was asking for this recipe, here it is:

Saute four diced chicken breasts in 2T. butter. Add 1 1/2C. sliced mushrooms, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1/3C. sun dried tomatos cut up into little pieces. Add 2C. heavy cream and 2C. chicken broth. Cook 5-7 min. While this is cooking prepare 1pkg of angel hair pasta according to the directions. Add 1C. parmaesean cheese and 1/2 pkg. Knorr's Alfredo sauce. Stir quickly into the sauce to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve over the pasta.

As usual when it comes to my cooking, fast and easy!
