Chicken Mushroom Chowder                                      Time: 45 minutes

1 chicken breast
4 oz mushrooms
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 carrot
1/4 cup basmati rice
1 tbs butter
1 tbs oil
2 tbs flour
2 cups chicken stock   reserved from Saturday
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 cup milk

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.  Chop onion.  Mince garlic.  Clean and roughly chop mushrooms and carrot.  (chopping terms on Techniques).   In large sauce pan heat butter and oil over medium heat.  Add chicken and sauté 2 minutes.  Add onions and sauté 3 minutes.  Add garlic, mushroom, carrot and rice and sauté 3 minutes.  Add flour and sauté 30 seconds.  Slowly stir in chicken broth, stirring constantly.  Add thyme.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is done.  Uncover, stir in milk and heat through.  Serve. 

Popovers                                                                    Time: 45 minutes

muffin pan for 6 normal size muffins
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
pinch of nutmeg (optional)
pinch of salt (optional)

Butter muffin pan - even if it is nonstick.  Lightly beat eggs with fork or hand whisk.  Add remaining ingredients and whisk lightly - do not try to get out all of the lumps - doing this would cause over beating and tough popovers.  Ladle into muffin pan - cups should be 1/2 - 2/3 full.  Put into preheated 450F (230C) oven for 25 minutes.  After 25 minutes turn temp down to 350F (180C) and continue baking 15 minutes more until nicely browned.  Remove and serve.
