More Chicken Please

Aunt Doris' Rice has been a favorite in our family for a long time, not to mention a classic potluck dish.  I brought the dish to a work party once and one of the ladies commented that it would be really easy to throw some chicken in to bake along with the rice. TaDa!  Fast, easy and tasty!

thawed chicken breast ( whole or cubed )
1 c uncooked rice
1 c water
1 can beef consume
1 can french onion soup
4 Tbsp butter opt.
salt

heat oven to 350, mix ingredients in casserole dish, bake one hour
*turn chicken after half hour

Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera was my absolute favorite part of the trip, and also my birthday present!  The Venetian built a $40 million theatre especially for this Broadway hit.  We sat in the front row and all but lost our eyebrows when the pyrotechnics started! 

All dressed up and ready to go!












































 And a few stolen pictures . . .
