When I make this for my family and everyone love it so well. I just had to share with you.A delicious, creamy, chicken and veggie filling, surrounded by flaky, pastry.

l lb. boneless chicken breast, cubed

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 large cloves garlic, crushed and chopped

2 cups onion, chopped

1 cup celery, chopped

1 cup carrots, chopped

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 ounces Feta Cheese

For the Bechamel sauce you will need:

2 cups milk

4 ounces butter

5 ounces flour

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

Melted butter

1 pkg. Felo dough

For the filling:  In a medium pot, over medium heat, add the chicken and the olive oil.  Stir in the garlic, onion, celery, carrots, salt and pepper.  Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.  Turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes.

For the sauce:  In a medium pot, bring the milk to a boil over low heat.  At the same time, melt the butter in another pan.  Add the flour to the butter and mix well on low heat until the flour absorbs all of the butter.  When the milk reaches the boiling point, slowly whisk it into the flour mixture until it thickens.  Whisk in the Parmesan cheese and the egg.  Remove the sauce from the heat and lit cool 10 minutes.  Set aside.

After the chicken mixture has cooked, strain the mixture to remove any liquid.  Let cool for 15 minutes.  Mix the bechamel sauce into the chicken mixture.  Add the Parmesan and feta cheese and mix well.

Look At This Pink Setting

Found this Pink setting on tablescapex3.blogspot.com

March brings a festival which celebrates the blooming of over 300,000 Yoshino cherry trees. It is truly a sight to behold! Time to “think pink”!http://tablescapex3.blogspot.com/2011/03/pinkest-party-on-earth.html

Pink pancakes, pink poodles, balloon glows, free cherry ice cream being served in one of the downtown parks – just of few of the sights and tastes that we enjoy this time of the year. Even the local newspaper prints a pink edition each year.

We have our own cookbook, which contains only recipes using cherries as one of the ingredients. I will share one of the recipes with you at the end of the blog – White Chocolate Cherry Tart. Yum!!

My contribution this year is a luncheon table setting for six friends to enjoy, before going to the annual tour of homes. In keeping with the spirit of the season, almost everything is pink!

I so enjoyed bringing all of the pink together, but I started with a white “Peyton” tablecloth, which is made by Ralph Lauren and I bought it at Dillard’s. I thought that the pink would photograph better on white.

Pink placemats purchased at Big Lots for a ridiculously low price were added on top of the tablecloth.

Pink napkins and “pearl” napkin rings were purchased online.

The white plates on top of the placemats are Lenox Opal Innocence Carved. I love these plates – they are dinner plates, but large enough to use as chargers for older china patterns.

On top of the Lenox plates are smaller plates with marbleized rims. They are actually Johnson Brother’s “Rose Chintz” accent dinner plates. There are roses in the centers, but you cannot see them under the smallest plate.

The plate on top is a salad plate made by Narumi and is the pattern, “Mountain Cherry”, which fits into the theme perfectly!

The tall pink water goblets are from an unknown maker, although I saw some similar blue ones for sale on Etsy that were advertised as having been made by the Dugan Glass Company. I bought mine from Replacements. My daughter loaned me the other lovely footed pink glasses.

The pink centerpiece holding the flowers is an Indiana Glass compote in the “Teardrop” pattern. I bought this one on Ebay, but I have owned a clear glass one for many years. It belonged to my mother.

Also, decorating the table are two pieces in the Fostoria “Fairfax” pink pattern. One is a mayonnaise bowl.

The other is a bon-bon basket. I will use it as a butter dish with a round mound of butter in the center.

Pink Hocking “Block Optic” footed salt and pepper shakers are used at one end of the table.

Hanging from the chandelier is a Japanese paper lantern – who could resist, when setting a table to celebrate Japanese Yoshino cherry trees?

The place setting sterling flatware is “Strasbourg” by Gorham.






My favorite things on the table consist of the other two pieces of sterling silver. The pattern is a very old Blackinton pattern, which is named, “Cherry Blossom”! One piece is a master butter knife and the other is called a large cream ladle, although, it does not look that large.

I wish that all of you could join us in my city to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and witness the look of thousands of cherry trees bursting out in blooms at the appointed time, as though some magical alarm clock woke them just in time for our glorious Cherry Blossom festival!! Enjoy the recipe!

Blanket Of Summer Snow

Snow-in-summer (Cerastium tomentosum)

Snow-in-summer earns its name from the blooms that blanket plants in late spring to early summer. Leaves offer an eye-catching grey hue. This perennial withstands conditions that kill other plants: full sun and poor soil. Plants spread rapidly, covering upwards of 12 inches of ground annually

Requirements: Full sunlight or light shade. Soil pH 6.0 to 7.0. Most soils, best results in moist ones. Cut back once flowering has completed. Divide after two or three years to maintain vigour. Propagate: by dividing in the spring in cool regions or the autumn in warmer climes. Cuttings can be taken in the early months of summer.

Pink Crepe Myrtles

The crepe myrtles are among the most satisfactory of plants for the South:

I love the pink ones

All crepe myrtles bloom on new wood and should be pruned in winter or early spring

Crepe myrtles are not usually browsed by deer.

Trained as a tree, it develops an attractive trunk and branch pattern. Smooth gray or light brown bark peels off to reveal smooth, pinkish inner bark; winter trunk and branches seem polished.

Crepe Myrtle Pruning Tips
Don’t chop your large crepe myrtles down to ugly stubs each spring just because your neighbors do. This ruins the natural form and encourages the growth of spindly, whiplike branches that are too weak to hold up the flowers. To reduce a crepe myrtle’s height, use hand pruners or loppers to shorten the topmost branches by 2–3 ft. in late winter, always cutting back to a side branch or bud. For branches more than 2 in. thick, always cut back to the crotch or trunk. Don’t leave big, ugly stubs.
