Feta Chicken Rice & Vegetables

petto di pollo/chicken breast

Today is the Sixth Annual Edible Book Festival. I was all prepared to participate with a cake tribute to the There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe. Unfortunately, my cake, prior to airbrushing and fondant accents, decided to kiss the floor.

(4 1/2-sheet cakes and a ton of icing...flattened)

There wasn't any extra time this week to get something else done, so I bowed out gracefully. There is always next year.

Since I wasn't participating in the Festival, my plan to stay home all day while the rain poured out of the sky didn't quite happen the way I envisioned it in my head. Although I am home now, but my morning was spent in the car retracing my tracks. See, I realized I didn't have my wallet while at Sur La Table...about to pay for my items. Yikes, such a horrible feeling! I couldn't remember the last time I had it and hoped it had not been taken from my office at school. I have never had anything stolen from my since I began teaching and would have been crushed if that was the case. Luckily, after driving all the way back home, I realized I was an idiot and put it in some random pocket in my work bag.
