Confession time: for years I have struggled to make an acceptable vinaigrette. Pancakes too, but that's a tale for another time.

This is a perfectly acceptable vinaigrette. It is bright but not overwhelming, with enough going on that your salad won't get bored. It's going into rotation.

Your results may surpass mine if you use a decent Parmesan instead of the shredded waxy substance masquerading as cheese I used; and by giving it a chance to rest (as instructed, but I was in a hurry).

"Juice of 2 lemons" measured slightly over 1/3 c. for me.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Easy, straightforward, tasty. The children were begging for it because it smelled so good while it simmered. They actually ate it, whch around here is high praise. I found it a little underseasoned as it stands - a circumstance easily remedied. One child proposed the corn kernels as a colorful, appropriate addition; I think she's right and will incorporate it the next time I make it. I brightened my portion with a squeeze of lime and suggest you do the same.

Homemade Chicken Strips

A basic, straight-forward variation on fried chicken. The seasoning is infintely adaptable to suit your own taste. The present batch used 1 T. salt + 1 T. Penzey's BBQ 3000 seasoning per 1.5 c. flour. Thumbs up.

I have successfully frozen the raw chicken strips. I thawed them before frying because I stupidly allowed them to freeze into one giant clump. I will be more careful to freeze the strips individually in the future, and experiment with frying them from a partially frozen state.

Perfect Iced Coffee

I have a new staple and - finally! - a reason to stop regretting the purchase of that gallon-sized pitcher. Thanks, Ree!
